Bedrooms, Designed

Even though a contemporary or a modern bedroom may be something that seems new and designed for automated homes, it is a style that came about during the 1900s. It utilizes clean and simple decor that reflects the modernism movement of that time. This is a style that embraces the concept of form following function, so a room with this style may have plenty of open space because excessive adornment is not required to complete the look. 
 
How to Design a Modern/Contemporary Bedroom 
In the bedroom, this style is commonly used with neutral colors that are accented with touches of red or blue. The idea of this color scheme is to make you feel more relaxed and welcome. The room will be open and airy with this style, and most of the furniture in the space will be wooden or another neutral color. Natural light is also standard in modern spaces, and having a larger bedroom can help to increase the minimalist look of this design. Consider a bare floor that is only covered with an area rug near the bed. 
 
Tips for Getting Started Creating this Design 
Learning how to design a modern/contemporary bedroom does not take a lot of effort; you will just need to begin with a neutral color scheme that makes you feel comfortable. This is going to be the color of the main furniture and the bed. A platform bed with a makeshift headboard and integrated nightstands is ideal, and these can all be made out of the same type of wood to create the style throughout the space.  
 
Grab a carpet and curtains to match the look; these can be an accent color if you want one in the space, but keep it a soft color that does not pop too much in the space. For a bedroom with a modern or contemporary look, you can expect to spend about $8,000 to $15,000 to redo the space completely. Custom pieces may add more to the overall cost. 

Studies have shown that minimalism, especially at home, lowers stress levels and brings about cheerful moods. What better place to impact minimalist ideas than the bedroom where you go to relax, restore and reflect your thoughts. The basic idea is to strip down the excesses in the bedroom and concentrate on the essential elements while avoiding not to appear dull and boring. 
 
Overview 
When opting for a minimalist bedroom design, apply the “less is more” outlook this way you create a calm, simple space. Do away with ornate trims, busy patterns, eliminate most of the household ornaments with little or no value, and scale down on color schemes. Create space for functional and soothing design aspects. 
 
Minimalist Bedroom Design Ideas 
1. Bedding: The bed makes for an elaborate minimalist statement the moment anyone steps in the bedroom. Choose a bed with a simple platform frame coupled with plain-color neutral beddings. 
2. Bare wall: For a minimalist bedroom, I encourage you to keep the look streamlined and fuss-free. Minimize on wall decor and only display major artwork at a strategic location. A large, nature-inspired photo or a handcrafted artwork is a great example of what you can use. 
3. Neutral Palette: Consider the use of a neutral palette and stay away from bright and complex colors. Achieve consistency in the bedroom by sticking to a specific shade of paint on the walls and ceiling, for instance, use a range of neutral black, white and shades of gray. Throw in a black or gray floor rug to cheer up the place.  
4. Clean lines: Furnish the bedroom with sleek furniture that has clean lines, void of carvings and contemporary details, portraying a simple but elegant look. 
Symmetry: Try to arrange decor and furniture as symmetrically as possible and align everything in an orderly manner to achieve harmony. 
5. Clutter-free: For a minimalist bedroom to achieve its aim, only the necessary should be visible. Neatly store away collectibles, extra sheets, and clothes to create a serene environment suitable for relaxing and unwinding.  

Even if you couldn’t pick out mid-century modern furniture, more than likely you have seen it around. The furniture typically features smooth curves, classic clean lines, natural wood, bucket-shaped seats, geometric patterns, and much more. 
 
Here are some tips to creating a mid-century space.  
 
Mid-Century Bedroom  
When it comes to the bedroom, there are many ways to incorporate mid-century modern furniture into a space of virtually any size. Look for a bed that showcases natural wood and tapered legs, two prominent features that define this style.  
 
Also, find a rug with a unique graphic pattern, such as fun starbusts wild curves. Another way to include geometry in your bedroom is through the pillows, bedding, picture frames, and wallpaper. The mid-century was also all about mixing different materials into the bedroom. Just think plywood, metal, glass, and plastics.  
 
As you are creating a mid-century bedroom space, why not use certain furniture pieces in a unique way like a curved back chair as a nightstand or a groovy bench in place of a cedar chest? Whatever you choose to include, just have fun with it.  
 
Design Tips 
 
Since the bed is undoubtedly the biggest object in the room, it’s a good idea to choose this piece of furniture first. The bed can also serve as the focal point to inspire other mid-century ideas. 
 
Next, pick out a dresser, rug, lamps, and window dressings with the mid-century style in mind. If you’re into earth tones, choose green or brown furnishings as theses colors were prevalent during this century. 
 
Not into earthy tones? Primary colors may be a better option for you. Play with red, yellow, and blue hues in your rug, picture frames, and lamps.  
 
At this point, are you wondering the cost of this design. The bed alone could run you about $500 at a reasonably priced store. For a complete mid-century makeover, you can expect to pay at least $1,500, which isn’t too bad, right? 

In the new age of technology and previously futuristic designs now seen as modern designs, many of us would still like to take our decorating skills back to the past. Country and rustic style bedrooms can bring comfort and a true homey feel to your place of rest. Some may think of outdated furniture and old wood when speaking about rustic styled homes; however, it is much more than that. The country and rustic aesthetic can actually make your home feel warm, as if you were staying in a toasty cabin vacation home. 
 
Decorating the Bedroom 
When trying a new aesthetic in your home, you may wonder what all pieces you need to truly bring it together and make an impression. The most important tip would be to showcase beautiful wood work. This could be simple wood paneling covering the entire room, or even warm colored painted walls with open log accents around key areas. If choosing to decorate the walls and floors both with wood paneling, it would be a good idea to get an old-fashioned rug to accent the room; sticking with warm colors, of course. Rustic furnishings such as dressers and stands should be close in color and wood pattern so they fit together aesthetically. The size of the bedroom can be large or small, depending on the specific rustic style you are going for, so don’t worry about having to add on space. 
 
Where to Start 
The best place to start would be to decide on the walls and floors first. If it is too out of your budget to change them, try to make sure the walls are painted a light, warm color at least. Switching out the furnishings may be the easiest place to start if it is impossible to change the flooring and walls first. Adding decorations can be done throughout the entire process as you find them, so be sure to look for things such as hanging lamps, log or stone furniture, or natural and old-fashioned decorations. A great place to look for decorating would be antique stores, as they are sure to carry old decorations to really spice up the aesthetic. Craft stores that carry decorations also typically have rustic and country items in the fall, so be sure to check there as well. 

Let’s look at some factors that affect a bedroom design project. If you are planning to remodel or renovate your bedroom, then the information outlined on this page will be helpful to you. All architectural buildings that are being used as a residential place have bedrooms as an essential space within them. Bedrooms can be categorized in four major types namely, master, teenage, kids and guest. This classification is based on the group ages of family members who are going to use them.

While thinking of bedroom decorating it is important to note that it is a space within your home. I have seen sometimes that because of the budget constraints some people tend to remodel or renovate their home room-by-room.

This allows to properly set out a budget and also provide good attention to smaller details of the entire home improvement project. Detailing in home improvement can make a lot of difference as far as final product is concerned. By detailing I don’t just mean the color scheme or type of wallpaper you will choose. Detailing in home improvement is also from the structural safety point of view.

A bedroom is an inherent part of your home, hence while decorating or remodeling a bedroom the entire home improvement “theme” must be considered for a smooth visual experience when the bedroom project gets completed. Have a look at the home plan below.

This home plan is a good example to study. You will notice that the floor area occupied by bedrooms is nearly 40% of the entire floor are of the home.

This itself is a good indication that a fair amount of area gets occupied by bedrooms.

There is one more important aspect to be considered while designing bedrooms.

We spend maximum amount of time in our bedroom. Though we spend most of this time “sleeping”, to get a deep and calm sleep it is necessary to have a good interior design for the bedroom.

This can be easily achieved. Instead of treating the room as a separate identity, if we follow the “design theme” of the rest of the home, the transition between all the room becomes almost natural.

As mentioned above bedrooms can be sometimes be categorized by age groups. But there are more ways you can classify them, like design themes. Design theme a home design project is like a collection of commonly used criteria’s in interior design. For example a set of properties like color schemes, wood finishes, flooring patterns and materials, electrical accessories of a particular make or style etc.. can constitute a design theme.

If we manage to alter any one or all of the above parameters in a design theme group, we get a different theme and a different appearance as an end result. This means that if I change the color scheme in the first design theme from “cool” to “hot” I altogether change the appearance of the bedroom and hence the entire home.
