Thinking carefully about your bedroom color ideas is vital to getting the room’s scheme right, as color has the power to change the mood in your bedroom ideas for women.

‘You can’t beat shades of red and blush teamed together, they’re warming and cocoon like which makes them ideal for a calming yet stylish small bedroom ideas,’ says Jennifer Ebert, digital editor, Homes & Gardens. ‘

Add in tactile elements like linen bedlinen and a patterned vintage rug and the space will be cozy sanctuary with a touch of drama.’

Pick ruffles and frills

‘A beautiful blend of linen and hemp means this pretty bedding is wonderfully soft and breathable – ideal for warmer weather,’ says Chrissie Rucker OBE and founder of The White Company.

‘I love its modern vintage frill, which just add softness to any room. In a soft blue and white stripe, or gorgeous pure white, it mixes and matches beautifully, too.

Environmentally kind, both hemp and linen are recognized as being among of the world’s most sustainable plants.’

Combine beautiful textures for an elegant scheme

‘Women’s bedrooms don’t need to be pink or floral to be feminine, mixing luxurious textures such as silk and cashmere in a refined muted color palette delivers an elegant and feminine scheme,’ says Deborah Fiddy, managing director and co-founder at Gingerlily.

‘Bedrooms are such personal spaces, that for me it’s all about creating a sanctuary that ensures you are comfortable and rested for the day ahead.

I’m a firm believer that wellness and self-care should start with paying attention to your sleep health, from creating a relaxed sanctuary style interior, to your bedding and your bedtime ritual.

‘To ensure a design scheme doesn’t feel too pared back, I love to include a statement rug, which whilst creating design impact in a bedroom isn’t visible once you’re in bed, so doesn’t detract from the calming soporific feel a bedroom should embody.’

Go for a luxe side table – or two

‘There are certain pieces of bedroom furniture that are essential in a bedroom, and the bedside table is very much a necessary luxury,’ says Sue Jones, co-founder and creative director at OKA.

‘You don’t have to go for a traditional storage piece, though; our set of Versailles nested side tables is perfect as it provides a top shelf for your books and a table lamp, while storing less aesthetically pleasing personal items on the shelf below.

‘If you have a smaller bedroom, the open area underneath can make all the difference by creating the illusion of a larger space. The mirror glass doesn’t hurt, either.’

Pick a stylish wall light that complements the space

‘Elevate your current décor by choosing bedroom lighting ideas that fit seamlessly into your scheme,’ say Jen and Mar, co-founders of Interior Fox.

‘A delicate shade that compliments the wall color will add a subtle yet striking look.

‘If you have chosen hardware in a specific metal introduce this into your light, metallic fittings are a great way of adding a modern yet elegant twist to a traditional shade.’

Use All the Throw Pillows

Perhaps one of the most cost-effective ways to decorate your bedroom is to add some throw pillows.

They can add color and texture to your space, and they’re easy enough to replace the covers should you want to swap out colors for the season.

We love how the blues in these pillows tie in with the white accents in the room, yet they remain neutral enough to not make too bold of a statement.

Play With Punchy Patterns

There’s something about a geometric pattern that really makes a statement.

Mixing patterns is easy when you stick to a matching color palette.

Even with two patterns and bright flowers on the nightstand, this room looks pulled together because of the otherwise muted colors.

You could even create a statement wall with removable wallpaper.

Make Your Space Multifunctional

Apartment dwellers know that making the most of your space is key to creating a space that works for you.

If you don’t have the space for an office in your living room (or share your living space), adding a work nook in your bedroom could be best.

Pop a desk in at the foot of your bed, add a minimal chair, and you’ve got a cozy workspace—just remember to make your bed if it’s going to be in the background of your Zoom calls.

Mix and Match Pillows

There is no such thing as too many throw pillows.

Layer on as many as you’d like to add texture and depth to your bed, using different sizes and shapes to add even more interest.

Stack your sleeping pillows in the back to bolster up your decorative pillows, that way you’re really showing them off.

Keep It Earthy

Earthy, neutral colors create a soothing and calm environment in any bedroom.

If you want to take the plunge, paint your room a deep green color or add in little bits of earth tones in your room with pillows and throws.

Layer on Textures

You don’t have to use a ton of color to have an interesting bedroom.

Adding different shapes and textures through blankets, pillows, wall hangings, and curtains will create depth in your room and make the space feel especially cozy.

Create a Boho Oasis

If you’re a plant parent, this is the perfect excuse to bring all your green babies into your bedroom: a boho makeover.

Using rich, warm tones like terracotta and rust colors will make your room feel cozy, and adding fringe and linen textures will give that boho look so many know and love.

Bring the outdoors in with plants, and you’ll be surprised and how new your room will feel.

Keep Things Modern and Minimal

Sometimes, less is more.

Clean lines and modern décor (like matching sconces) give off major Scandi vibes, making your bedroom a relaxing and clean-feeling place.

Don’t Be Afraid to Mix Prints

Maximalism doesn’t have to look (or feel) cluttered and messy. Sticking to patterns in neutral colors will keep things from looking too busy while still allowing each accent to stand out.

We’re also huge fans of going all out and painting your bedroom walls a true black, like Backdrop’s Dark Arts.

If you’re not sure what color you want to paint your room yet, Backdrop sells peel and stick samples that you can put on your wall, live with for a bit, and decide what color you want to go with.

Incorporate Curtains for Drama

Curtains don’t just have to be for windows.

Use them to divide up your space and create privacy if your room is a large open space.

They’re also a great way to add a dose of color in an otherwise blank room.

Heavy, velvet curtains will add drama to your space, while lighter, linen curtains will diffuse light and add an airy feel.

Try Something Contemporary

There’s something about a monochromatic room that always feels modern and fresh.

This gray room with white accents and sharp lines (in the headboard, lamp, and board and batten) make for a clean backdrop to a cozy bed.

Opt for Classic Pieces

Your room will always be in style if you stick with timeless pieces of furniture like a canopy bed and simple bedside cabinet.

White or a natural wood color are great options for furniture colors, but remember that you can always paint them if you want something different down the line.

Create a Book Nook

Reading before bed is the ultimate relaxing activity.

Keep your books within arm’s reach by building a little reading nook next to your bed.

The best part? It can also double as a bedside table for your phone and lamp.

Layer Rugs

Putting an area rug on top of carpeted floors may seem counterproductive, but it’s actually a great way to hide carpet you’re not a fan of and add color, texture, and pattern to a space.

Maximalism Doesn’t Have to be Cluttered

Having a lot going on in your space doesn’t have to mean you can’t move around—layer textures, colors, patterns, and more to make things interesting but not overwhelming.

Use Moody Colors

Your bedroom doesn’t have to be a light and airy oasis; it can be a dark and moody space.

Paint your walls a bold color, accent with dark and heavy textiles, and add a few light-colored elements to the room and you’re set.

Freshen Up a Space with Pink

You’re never too old for a pink bedroom (or at least some baby pink accents).

Light pink is playful and can actually brighten up a space.

Make an Accent Wall

Accent walls can be both colorful and textural.

This wood slat wall is playful with its asymmetric lines, but it also acts as a sort of a headboard extension.

Go Full Glam

Live your wildest dreams in a bougie, mirror-filled room.

Metallic accents and silky textures will never go out of style!

Embrace Symmetry

Satisfy your eyes and your brain by creating a room that’s full of symmetry and balanced elements.

Here, matching side tables and mirrors make the room look complete.
