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 color in your life, this collection of 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.

WALL-TO-WALL PATTERN

A pattern can seem chaotic when used in abundance, but a neutral color-way gives it a more subtle and refined appearance. Designer Zoe Feldman used a floral wallpaper with soothing sage floor covering to add interest and elegance in this Washington, D.C. bedroom.

HANGING BEDSIDE LAMPS

New York City–based designer Nicole Fuller flanked a master bed with two hanging pendant lamps in this Greenwich Village apartment. While very chic, they make a quiet statement and don't distract from the graphic art posited above the bed. The added perk of not using table lamps is the extra surface space on the nightstands.

MIDCENTURY MOBILE

Installing a mobile as a sculptural piece centered above a bed adds quirk and excitement to an artfully composed room. New York City–based designer, Thom Filicia, used a custom piece inspired by Alexander Calder in his Manhattan bedroom.

TAPESTRY AS A HEADBOARD

A suzani wallhanging doubles as a headboard and blends in as a piece of art in Carlos Souza's Rome-based apartment. Bold in color and pattern, the Istanbul-sourced fabric adds texture without overwhelming the space. It's a visually stunning partner to the facing gallery wall.

OUTDOOR DETAILS

The bedroom of Colombian fashion designer Johanna Ortiz's Cartagena vacation home enjoys the benefit of large glass doors leading to a hammocked 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.

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.

DIY ART

Chalkboard paint has found its place in kitchens, playrooms, and children's bedrooms, but it's also an innovative and evolving element for adult spaces, too. In this rental treehouse in Florence, a chalkboard doubles as a headboard and a message space for hosts to leave welcome missives to guests.
