Set the Tone
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a king-sized bed to create a luxurious atmosphere. Instead, focus on choosing a bed frame and headboard with the right style and silhouette.
If you’re going for a bold and modern look, look for low minimalist frames that showcase strong crisp lines that are a hallmark of contemporary style. For a softer nostalgic vibe of a traditional or cottagecore bedroom, we recommend upholstered beds or headboards — particularly ones featuring curves and rounded edges. If you really want to dial up the drama and romance, consider statement canopy beds that’ll make you feel like you’re the main character of a period piece.

Find Serenity Through Organization
Less clutter equals more relaxation. As a space designed for calming rest, your bedroom should have plenty of beautiful yet functional storage to ensure it stays neat and put-together. From elegant dressers to artful shelves, look for pieces that complement your bed frame. Find visual cohesion through storage solutions featuring similar styles, materials and finishes, color schemes, or decorative motifs.
Pro tip: For small bedrooms, we recommend choosing multipurpose designs like storage beds or storage benches that maximize a tight space and minimize the need for multiple pieces of furniture.

Invest in Storage Staples
For bulkier items like linens and clothing, go-to storage solutions include dressers, armoires, and chests. Furniture with drawers is great for keeping clutter out of sight yet still organized into various sections.

Keep Nighttime Essentials Nearby
Invest in bedside tables where you can store all your must-have items within reach. We recommend nightstands with drawers, ideal for stashing smaller items like an eye mask, phone charger, or lip balm.

Soften the Ambiance
It’s time to cut off the overhead light. Instead, you can make every hour feel like golden hour simply by layering your ambient lighting. To create the warm and cozy effect, go for multiple sources of light that are on different heights, creating an inviting atmosphere that’s never too harsh on your eyes. Think matching bedside lamps, dimmable floor lamps, and sculptural sconces to layer in illumination from top to bottom. Plus, consider the silhouette and fixture that best suits your bedroom aesthetic — whether you choose a glam gold orb or a vintage pharmacy floor lamp.

Embrace Depth & Texture
The best hotels are the ones with some character and charisma. Instead of relying on loud and brash patterns and colors, consider playing up textures to create some interesting depth. Dark walls and wallpaper can add drama while plush area rugs and a cozy layered bed can create a soft and serene feel. This is also your time to add some unexpected elements in a room with a lot of matching furniture. Consider using mixing materials like metal wall art, ceramic vases, plants, and woven rattan baskets for a multifaceted and complex look that’s still subtle enough for the bedroom.

Add Thoughtful Amenities
Although it’s important to avoid overcrowding your bedroom, a well-placed element like a vanity table, bench, or console can help elevate your daily routine. Think about your everyday and consider what small luxuries can make you feel cared for as if you’re the VIP guest. Whether that’s a large full-length mirror to help you get ready for the day or some flowers and candles to provide soothing aromatherapy at bedtime, this is your moment to really pamper yourself.
Embrace Multipurpose Designs
To add versatility to your bedroom, consider the do-it-all storage bench. It can serve as a place to lay out your outfit for tomorrow, sit while you put on your shoes, or store your decorative pillows at bedtime.

Create a Better Routine
Instead of tossing and turning or fretfully doomscrolling on your phone, set aside a designated area where you can unwind before bed. Quiet your mind by reading or journaling in this cozy setup.
