Because you spend a large portion of time in your bedroom, it’s only natural that you want it to reflect you, your personality, and your design sense. If you’re looking to transform your rather bland or outdated bedroom into a modern design, there are all kinds of tips and techniques you can employ across all budget points.
Here’s a look at some of the ways you can make the space modern.
Update Your Bedframe
One of the largest pieces, if not the largest piece, of furniture in your bedroom, is your bedframe. If you are looking to make a big impact where design is concerned, updating your bedframe is an excellent option. Modern design can mean different things to different people, so you will want to be sure you do a little research on various ideas and frames.
If you’re looking for something cutting-edge and truly modern, you can have a professional laser engraver create a stunning, and unique metal bedframe. This piece can fit your exact requirements and it will be one of a kind. It is sure to be the focal point of your bedroom.
If a metal bedframe isn’t really your thing, then look to switch to a platform style bed. These give off a much more modern feel then your typical large bedframes. You can even have the platform built into shelving that surrounds it. What’s great about the platform style of bed is that it tends to be pretty inexpensive if you are just picking up a basic one.
Of course, paint is another area where you can make a pretty big impact. In general, most of the modern colors tend to be quite neutral and light. Look towards greys, beige, and even white. The whole idea is to keep things streamlined and simple. Where the palette brightens up is with the accessories you add in to the room. The walls are meant to fade into the background rather than pop.
Invest in New Lighting
Lighting can completely transform a space, and your bedroom is no exception. You will find no shortage of modern light fixtures available, most feature metal of some sort. Don’t be afraid to pick a real stand-out piece that calls for attention. Just remember that clean lines are always imperative in a modern design.
Choose Bedding Wisely
With a modern bedroom design, you’ve really got a few different routes you can go down when it comes to bedding. You can either choose to add a bold pop of color with the bedding, or you can keep to the simple, clean, and neutral idea.
If bold sounds like you, then popular color options tend to be teal blue, coral, pink, yellow, and red. You can find bedding that has pieces of these colors so it’s not too much. As for the neutrals, if this sounds more like you then light grey tones are probably the most popular choice right now. You can add throws, duvets, pillows, and other décor items that have the same grey running through them.
Furniture Pieces
We’ve covered the bedframe, but obviously your bedroom will also have other furniture pieces. If you’re aiming for a modern design you want to pick pieces that are simple and straight lined. Perhaps you’re planning to have a desk in your room? If so, you can find some very modern options that feature a combination of glass and metal. This is a wonderful way to continue the design and not take away from any of the other pieces.
Window Treatments
Here’s an area that often gets forgotten but is actually quite important in the overall design. It’s amazing just how much window treatments can change a space. You will definitely want to opt for something neutral. One popular option is to use design elements in the drapes such as geometric shapes. There are also different textures you can look into and play around with.
One tip to keep in mind is that even though you want to pick something modern, remember the window coverings are also meant to perform a duty and block out the sun. With this in mind, you’ll want to pick something that has some depth to it.
Pick and Choose Your Priorities
If you find that you just don’t have the budget to make all of these changes, you can still achieve a modern design by picking and choosing some priorities on the list. You can always do a little at a time as your budget allows.
