The modern, clean, airy bedrooms you see on Instagram are easier to recreate than you think, so if your room is in need of a makeover [1], now is the time. Even simple changes like statement walls and new ceiling lights can completely transform a room, and little details really add to the effect. We're currently crushing on dry flowers, linen sheets, and sheer curtains for light and airy [2] vibes. Oh, and when in doubt, you can add more pillows!
If you've recently binge-watched Queer Eye season 4 [3], it probably didn't take long before you were trawling Instagram looking for modern bedrooms that you can make your own. Do as Bobby does [4] and focus on clean lines, smartly chosen colours, and a mix of textures. While monochrome with pops of colour is what the bloggers tend to lean towards, neutral or seasonal colour palettes are what would make Bobby proud. Keep reading for all the inspiration you need to give your bedroom that modern makeover.
Decorate With Dried Flowers
Dried flowers are all over Instagram right now. Add a bunch to your bedside table for an on-trend yet affordable look.
Try Some Retro Macramé
Make use of the space above your bed with a mirror, mural, or macramé wall hanging.
Pick a Statement Ceiling Light
Elevate any bedroom in your house with a high-impact ceiling light.
Add a Pop of Colour
Brighten up your bedroom with a pop of colour in the form of pillows or rugs.
Add Focus With a Statement Wall
Transform your room with a feature wall, then update your decor accordingly. Don't be afraid of bold colours.
Opt For Minimalism
Embrace your inner minimalist and work with black and white for a look that will stand the test of time.
Choose Textured Rugs
To achieve a look that's contemporary yet cosy, add a rug.
Try a Seasonal Colour Palette
Updating your colour palette each season will keep your room feeling fresh.
Don't Be Afraid of All-White Interiors
Simplify your look and aim for clean yet crisp with all-white everything.
Invest in Wall Art
Personalise your room with wall art. Whether you want to hang photos from last Summer or a illustration print you picked up on Etsy, always opt a monochrome frame.
Experiment With Cool Tones
Add a touch of luxury with cool tones such as blue, grey, or green.
Treat Yourself to Linen Sheets
Playing with bedding is the simplest way to get a new season look. This season, it's all about linen sheets, which are stylish and comfortable.
Make a Statement With Black Walls
Black walls are anything but boring. Though many believe the colour to be risky when it comes to interiors, we think it creates just the right amount of intimacy when teamed with lighter tones.
Make the Most of Structural Elements
Work with original structural elements instead of trying to hide them. Interior wood paneling is just one example of when building elements can own the room.
Pile Up Those Pillows
When in doubt, add more pillows.
Declutter, Declutter, Declutter
If you're working with a small or awkward space, make time to declutter and focus only on the necessities.
Use What You Have
Displaying clothes and accessories, such as dresses, hats, or jewellery, is an easy way to decorate your walls and save on closet space.
Mix Your Neutrals
Neutrals never go out of style. Play with texture if you want to add warmth.
Get Some Indoor Plants
Plants in the bedroom (or any room) are always a good idea. Choose a spot with plenty of natural sunlight and don't forget to water them weekly.
Let the Light in With Sheer Curtains
Sheer curtains are having a major moment. A great way to make small windows seem bigger? Invest in white for light, airy vibes.
