Bold Silhouettes
Modern design isn't confined to right angles alone. In a stunning New York apartment, the designer capitalizes on the asymmetry of the room with an innovative bedside table that seems as if it could spring to life at any moment. The curvy rug beneath it further enlivens the room—both tonally and texturally—encouraging a lifestyle that is as refined as it is comfortable. The use of bold silhouettes in bedroom design is a trend that is gaining popularity, as it adds a unique and personal touch to the space.
 
Industrial Intrigue
Modernity isn't confined to a specific time period; at its core is invention. In a beach house located in Los Angeles, the designers looked to the industrial revolution to define their concept of modern. The presence of metal and concrete, coupled with the brightness of the space, allows earthy, muted tones to take precedence in the furnishings. This industrial intrigue is a perfect blend of modern and rustic elements, creating a bedroom that is both stylish and comfortable.
Midcentury Modern Romance
In the modern home, not every space has a single, distinct use. Sometimes, one must choose between a dining area and a bedroom. When space is limited, make miniature modern bedrooms out of unused corners, like in this elegant New York City apartment. The midcentury modern romance design is a nod to the past, but with a modern twist. It's all about creating a cozy and inviting space that is also functional and practical.
Bold Tones and Graphic Prints
Just as grayscale can evoke the silent films of the past, so can bold colors and graphic prints root you in the present moment. In the bedroom of a Manhattan townhouse, designer Danielle Colding introduced a royal blue biomorphic sofa and graphic upholstered armchairs that banish any thoughts of the old and fuddy-duddy. Bold tones and graphic prints are a great way to add a pop of color and personality to your bedroom.
 
The Old Meets the New
One colossal statement to modernity can steer a room down a forward-moving path. In the bedroom of a West Hollywood pied-à -terre, Andre Herrero constructed a steel double-height fireplace with a hidden compartment for the client’s TV. The material evokes spaceships and factories—symbols of the modern day. In this environment, choice antiques can make sense as well, when balanced by contemporary elements. This design concept of the old meets the new is all about creating a balance between the past and the present.
Treasure-Filled Bedroom
Anyone can make a sleek bedroom appear warm and welcoming—all it takes are some thoughtful accessories. In this Brooklyn townhouse, Ishka Designs packed on the charm with intriguing ceramics and eye-catching artwork. The result? A bedroom that hits that sweet spot between luxe and lived-in. A treasure-filled bedroom is like a personal sanctuary, filled with items that bring joy and comfort.
 
Shape-Shifting Bedroom
Move over, boxy armchairs and rectangular beds: Furniture with an atypical silhouette is a surefire way to give those bedroom essentials some visual intrigue. The design duo at Ashe Leandro spruced up a Park Avenue pad with a curvy lounge chair from Move Mountains as well as a bulbous custom bed that’s upholstered in Rose Uniacke wool. Shape-shifting bedrooms are all about breaking the norms and experimenting with different shapes and designs.
 
Height-Defiant Bedroom
If James Williams and Jonno Burden’s bedroom is any indication, the only way to go really is up. The duo accented their 30-foot-tall ceiling with two clusters of custom light pendants, drawing the eye upward and creating a light, airy space in the process. A height-defiant bedroom is a perfect solution for rooms with high ceilings, as it helps to create a sense of space and openness.
 
Mirror Marvel Bedroom
Want to dress up bare walls but traditional artwork feels overplayed? Consider dousing your space in decorative mirrors—just as Jacques Grange did in this Portuguese pad. Not only does this woven arrangement add some character to this spacious room, but the number of reflective spaces also helps bounce the light around just right. A mirror marvel bedroom is a great way to add depth and dimension to your space.
Textural Bedroom
Repeat after us: A neutral-tinged bedroom can be anything but boring. If you need any convincing, have a look at this relaxed space by Cochineal Design. Here, a rich array of light wood, cream bouclé upholstery, and high-contrast art offers a more nuanced take on the pared-back palette. A textural bedroom is all about creating a sense of comfort and coziness through the use of different textures and materials.
