Out of every space in a home, your bedroom is without a doubt the most personal. Even though it's an area many of your guests may never actually see, it still deserves a great deal of attention. It's where you recharge, reflect on the day, and even spend time reading a book, so it only makes sense for it to feature the right color palette and furnishings. And let’s not forget that it also has to showcase your design style accurately and complement the overall aesthetic that’s reflected in other areas of your home. 

While pulling this all off can be quite a challenge, it’s not impossible. Whether you live for a minimalist set-up or need punchy colors in your life, this collection of 32 designer bedroom images is chock-full of inspiration, innovative tips, and decorating tricks. Click through and get ready for the boost you've been waiting for to transform your bedroom into a comfortable retreat.

OUTDOOR DETAILS

Yes, the bedroom of Colombian fashion designer Johanna Ortiz's  enjoys the benefit of large glass doors leading to a ham mocked balcony al fresco. But natural materials—like the raffia-and-seashell pendant and a woven room divider behind the headboard—lend an elevated, earthy feel.

ECLECTIC ELEMENTS

A bedroom is the most personal space in your house, which makes it perfect for expressing seemingly disparate facets of your own unique sensibility. In this New Orleans home, an antique bed resides happily alongside a vintage Chinese screen, a handmade Moroccan rug, and a black and white photograph of Kate Moss.
 

WORKHORSE NIGHSTANDS

It might seem counterintuitive, but in a bedroom with relatively small square footage, sizing up the bedside tables can make the most of every inch. In this Brooklyn Heights apartment, a West Elm dresser is repurposed as a roomy nightstand to house bouquets, books, and beauty products.

A COOLER CANOPY

Canopies of the frilly and flouncy variety are best suited for the childhood bedroom of your dreams. But in luxe materials—here, a mirrored bed frame is upholstered in Romo velvet—the accent feels all grown-up.

PROPORTIONAL PIECES

A spacious bedroom is the dream, but outfitting it with accents that speak to that scale is key—lest it feel like a gymnasium, not a haven. In this Parisian apartment, an oversized pendant and jumbo mirror feel right at home in an airy, open space.

MONOCHROMATIC LOOK

Sticking to one light color is an easy way to make a small bedroom feel less claustrophobic. In a young couple's monochromatic Swedish home, the master bedroom blends white and cool brown for a color scheme that makes the petite space feel more open and airy. The bed is by Hästens, and the is vintage.
