Though it’s the space where you spend the majority of your time, bedrooms rarely if ever get the attention that they deserve. It can be challenging to decorate a space devoted to the largest piece of furniture in your home. Complicating matters further is the simple fact that the bedroom has become a space to not only sleep but lounge, read, snack, catch up on shows, and even work. While it’s always important to decorate any room to your own personal style, there are a few trends to consider when decorating the sanctuary of your home. The good news is that the trends of this year are accessible, so let’s get to it:
1. Mix-and-match
It isn’t uncommon for furniture to be sold in sets. That won’t change any time soon. What has changed is the style in 2024, with many people opting to mix and match what’s in their bedrooms. Two different nightstands paired with two different lamps, and then a dresser that doesn’t match anything — other than in material or tone.
2. Prints
Prints have never gone out of style, but this year, expect see matching wallpaper and fabrics in the bedroom. Mind you, the matching is more so pattern-based. What that means is that a floral wallpaper may be paired with bedding, shams, and pillows trimmed in a similar floral pattern.
3. Simplicity
For years, beds have been adorned with an abundance of pillows atop an overstuffed duvet. That’s all changed, with many people now opting for a pared-down version. Think linen sheets, coverlets, and a duvet — all in the soft, warm neutral tones.
4. Sustainability
Sustainability is more than a trend. It’s a preference for many consumers, and interior designers (as well as retailers and furniture manufacturers) have listened. If you’re wondering what that means in terms of décor, think wood, organic textiles, and vintage furniture.
5. Layers
Another trend that’s taken hold in 2024 is the concept of layering. What that looks like is entirely up to you, but it usually takes the form of tonal variations of the same color, a mix of the same patterns, or a blend of different textures.
6. Romance
What you put in a room should evoke some sort of feeling, especially when it comes to the bedroom. Romance is chief among them, and what is more romantic than a four-corner poster or canopy bed? As with anything involving décor, it’s important to have fun and play around with the look and feel of your bedroom. Let your imagination be your guide.
