To help you achieve this, we’ve gathered expert-approved luxury bedroom concepts.

These designs emphasize lasting style over fleeting trends, featuring elements like rich canopy beds, upholstered walls, and elevated textures.

Discover ideas with dramatic shapes, sumptuous materials, and a touch of allure to create a timeless aesthetic you’ll cherish for years.

Add a Gallery Wall

Sure, a gallery wall can go anywhere, but this luxury bedroom idea calls for a uniform gallery wall—it gives the space a salon-like feel.

In this Birmingham bachelor pad (likely the nicest one you’ll ever see!), designer Andrew Brown‘s client was a lover of classical art, so Brown chose simple black frames, each with a wide, white mat to display the client’s collection.

Make It Sparkle

If your ceilings are tall enough, install an antique crystal chandelier for an elegant sparkle that isn’t overpowering.

The gorgeous crystal sconce on the side of the bed adds even more brilliance to this room by Thomas Callaway, but even adding just one crystal light fixture will add an extra layer of peaceful luxury to the space.

Color-Drench It

PinJulien Capmeil

Blue is one of the most calming colors, so color-drenching your bedroom in this relaxing shade practically guarantees a peaceful night and morning every day.

Designer Kristin Kong layered the hue in multiple materials and different patterns to add dimension to this luxury bedroom idea; a necessary decision, so the space didn’t fall flat.

Add Moroccan Motifs

PinWilliam Abranowicz

For a neutral color palette with a little bit of spice added to it, Moroccan-inspired touches are the way to go.

In this California home, designer Betsy Burnham used her clients’ 19th-century Indian rug as the base for the soft hues in this bedroom, balancing out the muted colors by adding a dark, intricately carved bedframe.

Tie It Into the Wallpaper

When the wallpaper you’ve picked out is so beautiful it looks like it could belong in a museum, use it to inspire your decor picks.

In this luxury bedroom idea, designer Ashley Whittaker chose Clarence House’s Arbre de Vie wallcovering and pulled in furnishings to match the color palette and overall vibe of the pattern.

The fresh hyacinths, pale green lamp, and scalloping on the pillows all enhance the pastoral aesthetic.

Play With Mirrors

PinLisa Romerein

Designer Benjamin Dhong used three floor mirrors to serve as the backdrop for a swan painting in his Napa house, presenting a surface that reflects more light into the room and lets the framed art stand out.

It’s a relatively easy addition to any luxury bedroom idea.

Plush It Up

PinHector M. Sanchez

Create the ultimate, sink-into-bed feeling by covering your room in plush textures from top to bottom.

This guest room in a bachelor pad by Andrew Brown was supposed to evoke a cozy Parisian hotel room—we think he achieved his goal thanks to the velvet seat at the end of the bed.

Expand Your Dressing Room

PinJosh Thornton

Can you really have a luxury bedroom without a dressing room?

While designer Summer Thornton expanded into an entirely different space for this purpose, dedicating a corner of your room to a chic vanity will make getting ready in the morning and nights out all the more glamorous.

Focus on Your Houseguests

PinPar Bengtsson

Spread the love of luxury and decorate your guest rooms with the finer things too.

In this Texas home, not only did designer Alexandra Killion create beautiful primary bedrooms, but she fit this guest room with a custom canopy and antique furnishings, like the headboard and side tables, so whoever comes to visit can feel like they’re staying in a five-star hotel.

Introduce Greenery

Pin

The addition of a potted plant always makes a space appear a bit more spa-like and calming, so don’t be shy about incorporating a few green friends into your bedroom.

While live plants are always ideal, you can of course opt for something faux if you’re concerned about limited sunlight.

Layer Shades of Blue

Pin

If you love the color blue, have fun by mixing various shades of the hue throughout your bedroom.

It’s more than okay to weave in multiple patterns if you wish, sticking to the same color family will ensure the result appears cohesive, not chaotic.

Enhance Natural Views

Pin

A good spa-like environment is well-integrated with nature.

This spacious bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows offers breathtaking views of the outdoors, which makes waking up each morning a peaceful experience.

Add Texture

Pin

To add warmth to your sleep space, hang a textile—such as a scarf or tapestry—on the wall so that you can admire its beauty.

Select a piece that complements the patterns or colors you’ve already integrated into your space; here, browns and whites complement this bedroom’s furniture and walls.

Choose a Color Palette

Pin

When selecting accessories for your luxe bedroom, stick to just one color scheme so that your trinkets appear artful and not overwhelming.

Play With Pastels

Pin

Pastel colors aren’t just for children’s rooms and look lovely in adult sleep spaces, too.

A soft mint green fabric couldn’t be more charming when paired with white furniture, walls, and curtains.

Hang Curtains

Pin

Opting for floor-to-ceiling curtains makes it easy to shut out the surrounding world and fully unwind at the end of a long day.

If you wish to add a hotel-like touch to your bedroom, you may even wish to install blackout curtains for maximal effect.

Weave in Neutrals

Pin

Neutral tones have never been more fun than they are in this sophisticated-looking bedroom.

Mixing grays, whites, wood tones, and pops of black will never go out of style.

Try a Textural Headboard

Pin

Say hello to the bouclé in the bedroom.

While we often see this fabric in the living room, where it frequently appears on sofas and armchairs, it looks stunning when used on headboards, too.

Honor a Handmade Piece

Pin

A sculptural wall hanging adds visual interest and a touch of modernity to this classic bedroom.

Handmade pieces add a special intrigue to a space because they’re one-of-a-kind and tell a story.

Add a Custom Accent

Pin

A swirled accent wall behind this bed is reminiscent of clouds or water, both of which are incredibly calming to admire.

Embrace Reed

Pin

Fluted and reeded detailing is common in spa-like environments, and we see this look carried over here in the form of an accent wall.

If you would rather embrace this look on a smaller scale, opt for a fluted nightstand or headboard.

Make the Walls a Statement

Pin

Refresh dated walls with a paper covering that speaks to your desired aesthetic.

There are many peel-and-stick wallpaper options to choose from if you’re decorating a rental.

Transport Yourself

Pin

Framed photos of the beach are generally a crowd-pleaser and will help to liven up plain white walls.

Watercolors in particular would look right at home in a luxe bedroom.

Embrace the Scene Outside

Pin

If your room offers oceanfront views, position your bed so you can fully take in your surroundings.

In this space, sand-colored accessories complement the water perfectly.

Admire a Print

Pin

No beach access? A photo of the water will work just fine.

Hang a favorite above the bed to set the tone of the room.

Add Plush Bedding and Pillows

Pin

A group of pillows with crisp white pillowcases looks like you’re about to rest your head on a hotel bed.

Add an accent pillow or two to make the look even more luxurious. A plush blanket adds an extra layer of coziness to the bedding.

Put Down a Plush Rug

Pin

A soft place to land is one of the most luxurious elements you can introduce into a bedroom.

Put a plush area rug by the bed for a warm, cozy place to put your feet before getting into bed or first thing when you wake up.

Go For A Luxe Flooring

Pin

@maisonvalentinaa

Marble is a texture that instantly recalls luxe. In a bedroom, the best place to use it is the flooring.

Nevertheless, it is cold, and placing a fancy carpet to create a warm touch is always a good idea.

Add Mirrors

Pin

@spacedgedesigns_

Small decorations can help you enhance the luxurious look of the bedroom. Mirrors are one of them and luckily, they are not that expensive.

Choose the right design, size and location for your particular bedroom.

Gold Accents

Pin

@np.partners

Incorporating gold accents is a trusted designer’s trick when creating a luxurious look for your bedroom.

That can be golden light fixtures, a framed headboard, gold vases, gold wall art frames, etc. This will add a regal and expensive touch to the interior.

Add An Ottoman

Pin

@ayahbinkhaled

If the bedroom space is not that big to add a sitting furniture set, at least add an ottoman that will make the room look more expensive.

Suitable Ottomans for this style are usually upholstered and covered with plush or velvet fabric. The color should be chosen depending on the surrounding decor.

Unique Light Fixtures

Pin

@pushpainteriors

With the right lighting element, you can brighten up the bedroom and add a luxurious touch. You can find modern lighting features that are suitable for free-standing on the floor, wall or ceiling mounting.

In this bedroom design idea, a light fixture is incorporated into the minimalist wall art behind the bed. A hanging chandelier is added next to it to blend the wall art with the overall design scheme of the room.

Accent Wall With A Mix Of Textures

Pin

@noha.saad.interiors

Mix and match different modern textures on the wall behind the bed to create an accent piece. That will add a luxurious touch to the overall bedroom design.

Mirrored surfaces can be paired with wood, as in the photo, to unite with the flooring and the furniture.
