Bedroom interior design: in what style to make a sleeping room?
In the bedroom, a person rests, gains strength and gets rid of fatigue. Therefore, its interior must be thought out to the smallest detail. It is necessary to take into account the size of the room, its geometry, and choose the right color scheme. The style of design also plays an important role. There are many of them today, so there should be no problems with the choice of design. However, one should not forget that not all of them will be appropriate. Furniture, textiles, decor set off the design of the room, put down color accents.
The sleeping room should be simple, calm and spacious.
For any room, it is important to choose the right design and keep it in a certain style. For example, a loft or Scandinavian décor takes up a lot of space. They are more suitable for spacious houses than for an ordinary small apartment. But there is no reason to be upset. In the interior of the bedroom, other types of design have proven themselves well, no less interesting.
- Classical.
- High tech.
- Minimalist or modern.
- Provence.
- Asian – Chinese and Japanese.
To choose which of them lies more to the soul, a photo and a short description of each of them will help.
The size of the room greatly affects the design of the bedroom.
High-tech bedroom
Hi-tech is the best suited for small spaces. There is nothing superfluous in it. The room is as practical as possible, equipped with the latest technology. Plasma TV, air conditioning, automatic blinds, lamps – this is how a high-tech design looks like. The decor should be as restrained as possible. Metal, glass, plastic are the main materials. The color scheme is dominated by silver shades and a black and white palette. Chocolate tones are also welcome. The decor is almost non-existent. You will not find floral upholstery here either. Everything is strict, laconic.
Hi-tech is distinguished by the use of the most modern technology and furniture
Furniture and decor must be new and trendy
Bedrooms in modern style
Contemporary style is often referred to as cozy minimalism. It is similar to high-tech, but much softer and more comfortable. These two close areas are not overloaded with anything superfluous. But in hi-tech, the emphasis is on the functionality of the space, and in minimalist design, space is important in itself. The more, the better. Only the essentials should be here. A bed, a small bedside table, light curtains, a couple of lamps – sometimes this is the whole filling of the room. The walls are light and monochromatic. Only a couple of color accents are allowed, for example – bright curtains or wallpaper over the bed.
The warm colors of the interior contribute to a calm rest.
Wooden furniture suits any style and minimalism is no exception
Oriental motives: interior in the style of Japanese and Chinese minimalism
Getting rid of unnecessary junk, filling the room with light – this idea is supported in the Japanese style. Materials for decoration are only of natural origin. Of these, the most suitable are bamboo, silk, wood, stone. Porcelain is welcomed in the decor. Instead of large lamps, spotlights are installed – the illuminated ones should not be too bright. Typical colors are red, white, black. The bright colors are complemented by calm shades of gray..
The characteristic features of the oriental direction are quality, minimalism and precise symmetry
Only natural materials should be used in the design of the bedroom.
Classic design
In this style, the main task is to convey the luxury of the royal bedchambers. A large bed with a massive headboard is a must have for such a bedroom. Moreover, the handles of the bed are generously strewn with various curls and other decor. Pillows with tassels, ruffles, carpets with intricate patterns, curtains in several tiers – all these details have long become a sign of the classic style. The most advantageous color for the classics is white. It will emphasize the status of the premises..
The bed must be massive enough, it is imperative to use stucco molding on high ceilings
Provencal design
Delicate, light Provence is suitable for those who love the graceful notes of the province of France. Its most important features are pastel colors, lavender in vases and wallpaper, and retro-designed wooden furniture. Souvenir trinkets, flowers on shelves, forged items, as well as simple but sophisticated textiles will help create a Provencal atmosphere. Everything should be clear, without pretensions to luxury, but very cute and romantic.
For the Provence style, pastel colors are chosen: white, emerald, purple, pink, turquoise and the whole range of brown shades
Provence is ideal for a children’s bedroom, especially for a girl’s room
Design of male and female bedrooms: original wallpaper or cute flowers?
The bedrooms of a bachelor and an unmarried girl, of course, should be different. It’s hard to imagine a guy’s room pasted over with decorative butterflies. It is better to arrange a man’s dwelling in a minimalist style. The austerity of the decoration can be diluted with ethnic motives or photo wallpaper. For fans of high-speed racing, for example, images of sports cars are suitable. Elements of paintings in the spirit of “sur” on photo wallpapers will also be appropriate. They give mystery, intellectuality, some depth to the image. It would be nice to add small accents of high-tech design – chrome, glass, geometry of shapes. Regarding the color scheme, everything is simple. You need to choose cold, dark shades. But do not overload the room with them, otherwise she risks becoming too gloomy..
There are no unnecessary details and unnecessary decor elements in the interior of the men’s bedroom.
What is suitable for a bachelor bedroom interior? The answer is simple – light, pastel colors. But all the same, one should not go beyond the boundaries of taste and tastelessness. Going over with childish pink, turquoise or light green tones will make the room too messy. Coziness and warmth will be given by a cute, feminine decor. You can safely add it. After all, few people would think to reproach a girl for the fact that glass bears and flowers in multi-colored pots have taken root on the shelves in her room..
The room cannot do without a chest of drawers with a mirror and cute feminine details.
A mandatory attribute of any girl’s is a wardrobe. Better if it is a “coupe” with mirrored doors and many shelves. It’s not a bad idea to put a dressing table and chest of drawers. For women, the design of rooms in almost any style is suitable. An abundance of soft, cozy textiles, decorative vases and other decorative items is also not prohibited..
Bedroom interior with balcony
Sometimes the layout has a nice bonus in the form of a balcony. This small space is easy to combine into one whole. You just need to insulate the balcony and repair it. It is better to decorate the entrance to the loggia with a plastic French window, and paint the walls in warm, discreet colors. The bed, bedspreads, curtains must be made of natural materials. It is desirable to select colors natural, natural.
Combining a bedroom with a balcony allows you to make a modest room spacious and bright
The balcony can be easily converted into any functional area.
- An office with a small computer table. For work, you can use the space of the windowsill. So that nothing distracts from work, it is better to separate the balcony from the room with a curtain.
- Library with bookshelves and an ottoman. Windows with blinds, soft blanket, a cup of coffee and a favorite book. This kind of rest before bed is the dream of all book lovers..
- Small outside courtyard with a garden. Flowers, a table with wrought iron legs, openwork curtains will bring you into the atmosphere of a cozy Provencal cafe.
- Summer nursery. A baby cot can be freely placed on the balcony. Therefore, for the warm season, the loggia is often converted into a nursery. If we are talking about winter, then the walls and windows need to be insulated, and the floor must be heated..
The style direction of the design depends on which zone will be located on the balcony
Small bedroom interior
It is believed that a small bedroom is a big flaw in the layout. But even from a tiny room, you can get the most out of it if you plan it correctly..
The design of a small bedroom requires maximum practicality, it is important to use light colors in the design for a feeling of spaciousness and lightness
What is important to consider?
- Walls. For them, you cannot use plaster with a large relief. It is not recommended to decorate the room with glossy materials. The ideal solution for the interior of a small bedroom – paint or wallpaper.
- Ceiling. Don’t make it too dark. The smartest way out is to paint the ceiling and walls in a single light shade. So the ceiling visually rises up.
- Wallpaper. Or rather, zoning with wallpaper. If the task is to visually expand a narrow wall, then a print with a horizontal stripe will cope with this. Vertical lines will help make the ceiling taller. The pattern on the wallpaper should never be too large. Massive flowers or birds will “eat” the space. But the small millefleur, on the contrary, will expand the room.
- Parquet or laminate. An excellent solution for the floor in a tiny room. Especially if you arrange the drawing diagonally.
- Furniture. It is advisable to pick up the bed without legs. A small, compact, slightly rounded bedside table is suitable. The closet will hardly fit, but the shelves or racks will perfectly fit into the interior. The only condition is that they must not be massive..
The amount of furniture should be minimized, you can leave a bed and a couple of bedside tables or tables
The problem of small apartments is relevant not only in our country, but also abroad. Practical Europeans have already found a way out. They came up with many options for folding tables, beds, convertible wardrobes. You can learn from their experience and try to save space in this way..
Choosing curtains for a small room
Fabric decor in small spaces should not overload the room. Therefore, it is better to choose curtains or curtains of light colors and light textures. Of no small importance is the style in which the room is decorated. For high-tech, it is more appropriate to choose blinds, for minimalism, translucent tulle without a pattern is quite suitable, and short curtains made of light chintz will be perfectly combined with Provence.
Tulle will be a great option for a small bedroom.
The color of the curtains should be combined with all interior elements
Bedroom design in Khrushchev
There is one big drawback in the layouts of the Khrushchev buildings – the cubic capacity is so small that all design ideas instantly come to naught. But there is no reason to despair. Small tricks come to the rescue. What is their essence?
- Light palette. Only she is able to expand an overly squeezed dwelling. The rule of bedrooms in Khrushchev is – the more light, the better. Do not be afraid of white, beige, sand, pearl gray tones in the interior. They should be present in everything – design, textiles, furniture. Nobody will call such an interior boring if it is diluted with bright pillows, vases or colored decorative figurines..
- Mirrors. They reflect the wall, ceiling, adding area, albeit visually.
- Curtains. It is better to refuse them in favor of light blinds or Roman blinds. Massive textile additions destroy the already modest volumes of the room.
- Situation. Thinking over every locker, shelf is the task of any owner of a bedroom in Khrushchev. Lightweight, open shelves and hanging cabinets with glass doors are ideal choices. Folding sofas will also help solve the problem of lack of space. But be sure to choose models that have boxes for linen..
- Lamps. Massive chandeliers will not work. But spotlights on the ceiling, flat pendant lights and side sconces are what you need..
- Ceiling and floor. The perspective rule will work immediately as soon as the floor and ceiling are painted in the same light shade. A tiny little room will increase significantly.
The interior of the bedroom in Khrushchev will benefit if you do not clutter up the room with unnecessary furniture, but give preference to multifunctional items
In a small bedroom, it is better to install spotlights around the perimeter and illumination of the head of the bed
Bedroom – living room: how to choose furniture for a transforming room?
To somehow compensate for the lack of free space, the designers came up with a simple trick. They proposed to make two different rooms from one bedroom. There are many options for such combinations: from a bedroom-study to a veranda. The easiest way is to equip a living room bedroom. You can relax in it yourself, and then in the blink of an eye turn it into a cozy room for meeting friends. How to do it?
A transforming bed will be the best solution for one-room apartments and studio apartments
The first way is to choose special furniture. The place of an ordinary bed should be taken by a sofa with a French or American folding bed. And the folding table by the bed easily turns into a full dining table. But this solution has one drawback. It takes a lot of time to assemble and disassemble furniture. Busy people may not have it.
Then the second design technique comes into force – zoning. The room is simply divided into parts. Each of them has its own purpose. On one territory the owners themselves will have a rest, on the other it is possible to receive guests. The bedroom and living room areas are separated in different ways..
- Paint, plaster, wallpaper, different in texture, print or color.
- Screen made of fabric. The curtain will hide the bedroom area from visitors, and will also decorate the living room.
- Retractable partition. With its help, the two parts of the room will be separated from each other in a few seconds. For these “fences” choose thin, lightweight materials such as drywall.

Bedroom in a private house
A private house gives a lot of space, not only in terms of square meters. There is a lot of room for creative imagination. Layouts in private houses differ from the standard “Khrushchev”, “Brezhnev”, “Stalin”. What you need to consider when planning a bedroom design in a private house?
- Choosing a place. If the dwelling consists of two floors, then it is better to arrange a place to sleep on the second. In a one-story building, a room with windows to the south-west is ideal for this purpose..
- Zoning. In addition to huge mansions, there are also tiny houses with 1-2 rooms. Then you cannot do without dividing the room into a work, guest and recreation area..
- Design. The choice of the style of the rooms depends on the taste of the owner. But several types of design are most harmoniously combined with nature around a private house: Provence, eco-style, Mediterranean, classic, loft.
If the room is needed only for sleeping, zoning can be omitted. It is enough to choose the optimal place for the bed and bedside tables
Country style fits perfectly into the interior of a country house and is suitable for those who love a relaxed lifestyle, rustic style and fresh air
In your own home, it is advisable to focus on unity with nature. Therefore, choose natural materials for decoration: oak, beech, birch, cotton, linen.
