13 Exposed Brick Bedroom Ideas for a Subtle Industrial Style

post

Industrial design undoubtedly evokes a unique look, but it might not be for everyone. Utilizing exposed brick as a bedroom feature can transform this space into one with the perfect splash of industrial chic.

Bricks can be a great use of material that’ll help give your home an urban vibe. Exposing only a section of the brick in the bedroom may be the way to go if you’re looking for a more subtle and modern bedroom design.

If you’re looking for fresh and modern home design concepts, check out the exposed brick bedroom ideas in the list below to give your sleeping space the perfect dose of subtle industrial style. With the right design, you can easily add a dynamic element to your bedroom without making too many drastic changes.

Use Just One Part of the Exposed Brick Wall

Your entire bedroom doesn’t have to be comprised of an exposed brick wall. In this space, only a small section of the drywall was cut out to expose the brick underneath. This makes the space feel warm and cozy while adding the perfect amount of barely-there industrial design.

Soft neutral colors on the wall and understated hues like beige on the bedding and headboard prevent it from becoming too dark and brooding. The white pendant lamp and the two white table lamps decorating the bedside tables stand out powerfully against the brick wall texture.

Incorporate Color

This modern bedroom has a brick wall on one side, while the other is painted a deep, dark blue. The use of color draws the eye toward the opposite side of the room and gives it a bold two-toned look.

A large window lets the natural light flow into the room, and artwork and accessories round out the design to bring it a pop of the homeowner’s personality. Painting the ceiling gives the space a lighter look overall as it balances out the dark tones.

Create a Bohemian Retreat

A large brick wall doesn’t have to represent industrial design alone. The whitewashed brick wall in this space gives it a light, earthy vibe.

Natural and breezy textiles on the bedding, curtains, and area rug along with the paper light fixture and light brown wood floors tie everything together, creating a laid-back boho-chic retreat with a touch of rustic style that makes it a perfect place for relaxing at the end of a long day.

Break Up the Bedroom with a Separate Wall

This unique bedroom design features a separate retaining wall with a large interior window that visually breaks up the space. You can still see the exposed brick wall behind it, so everything flows and remains cohesive.

The wooden beams were painted black to match the window frame color, which helps to give the room a classic industrial feel. Other black accents and a dark wood floor tie the entire theme together.

Paint Brick to Lighten Things Up

Instead of leaving a dark brick wall as-is, the designer here chose to paint the walls white. Not only does this make the space look and feel larger, but it also gives it a charming, calming aesthetic.

The use of white walls rather than raw brick transforms this space into a romantic bedroom accented with cozy linens and a light brown wood floor. If you want a more sanitized look, white is an excellent choice, but you can paint the brick in bright colors, too.

Make it Eclectic

Although there is a section of exposed brick wall here, it doesn’t have the typical look you see in industrial spaces. A large framed glass window serves as a room divider to help the room feel more open, and a mixture of styles makes this space the true definition of an eclectic bedroom.

The use of live houseplants, clear acrylic accent tables, playful patterns on textiles, and modern furniture work well together which gives the bedroom a fun, funky feel infused with personality.

Use Brick to Create Cozy Bedrooms

Brick can add a warm, inviting element to any room like the one shown in this design. Although the walls on either side of the bed are made of drywall, the exposed brick at the end of the room gives it a subtle, cozy touch.

Since the brick wall is at the far end of the room, it immediately becomes the focal point. A tall bookcase against the wall and a nightstand on either side of the bed topped with table lamps give this small bedroom a ton of functionality, too. White walls and ceilings give it a fresh, clean feel that makes the exposed brick wall stand out even better.

Blend Brick with Other Materials for a True Industrial Style

This contemporary bedroom boasts two different materials on the wall: brick and limewash. Using just a sliver of exposed brick next to the dark gray limewash wall instantly makes it look industrial.

Not every brick wall bedroom has to feature brick alone. Using these two materials next to each other is a great way to add more texture and interest. If you don’t want to use grey limewash, you can work with other tones for a similar contrast.

Make Brick Walls a Work of Art

In this bedroom, pieces of the drywall were strategically “ripped” away to show the exposed brick underneath. Not only does this add visual interest to the room, but it also gives it a splash of bold artistic flair.

The designer chose to leave some of the drywall on the opposite side of the window. This technique helps the two materials work together to create contrast, while the ragged edges that expose the brick wall bring it a dynamic finishing touch.

Place the Bed on the Opposite Side of the Brick Wall

Most people tend to place the bed directly against the exposed brick wall, but here, the designer chose to do the opposite. Putting the bed against the drywall completely changes the look of the space.

The owners of this home also added a single hook to the brick wall side, providing a convenient place to hang a piece of clothing, a cozy robe, towels, or even art and decor. Since this bedroom is fairly small, mounting large mirrors on the wall is a smart and easy way to make it feel more open and spacious.

Exposed Brick Walls Can Create a Cozy Cave

In this studio apartment bedroom, the only area with exposed brick walls is the small cubby area cut out to create a cozy place for the bed. This is an excellent option if you have an open floor plan like the one shown here.

The use of brick delineates the difference between the sleeping area and the rest of the home, and it also helps if you’re into eclectic designs that incorporate a mixture of materials, colors, textures, and styles. Using more understated hues on the walls softens up the brick and helps it to fit in the space rather than take away from it.

Keep Exposed Brick in Attic Bedrooms

This awesome attic bedroom has it all, including a large skylight, wooden beams, and a large brick wall. Instead of covering the brick, the homeowner opted to leave it alone. The white floor helps to keep this cozy bedroom feeling a bit more open and airy.

Although drywall was used here, a shiplap ceiling could also give it a cozy, intimate vibe. Adding a large mirror above the dresser or on the wall in small spaces like this one helps to reflect the light, which also gives it a much brighter and more open feel.

Incorporate More Understated Hues

Sometimes, a brick wall bedroom can end up feeling much too dark and dreary. By using light colors or basic white on the walls, you can design a space that feels much more soothing and inviting.

Wooden furniture and a tall tree in the corner bring this cozy bedroom a feeling of natural warmth that doesn’t take too much away from the brick as the main feature. Since the section of the brick wall is so large, you could also add a gallery wall here to incorporate some of your favorite personal pieces.

Around the bed, there is enough room for multiple seating opportunities that add visual interest to the interior design. The wood and white furniture pieces are paired with a mixture of dark grey and white textiles decorating the bed for a contrasting effect in the space.

The subtle white and beige bedding is paired with two light wood bedside tables next to the bed. Two dark grey throw pillows bring depth to the color palette decorating the room, which is matched with a few darker accessories on the window sill.

The white nightstand holding small accessories on each side of the bed brings a lighter tone to the color palette along with the white bedding. On the other hand, the black and grey artwork adds a bit of contrast to the setting.

A dramatic effect in a small bedroom

When you look for inspiration and advice on how to design a small room, you will usually get the recommendation to use lighter paint colors. A darker green color in a small bedroom like this one will have a unique effect especially because of the small surface, where the floor plan will enhance the dramatic effect of the color in the space.

A dark shade like this, however, can work in small rooms that get ample natural light. If you are working with a small and dark bedroom floor plan, it might be better to opt for a lighter shade.

Rather than working with four grey walls like in the rest of the grey bedroom ideas on the list, you can approach the design of your bedroom more modestly. To achieve a more subtle effect, ,you can add a grey feature wall and keep the rest of the walls white.

In this bedroom, only the wall above the bed is painted grey, which is paired up with a mixture of white and grey bedding and grey tones in the art print on the wall.

The subtle warm undertone un the paint color in this moody grey bedroom is accentuated by a selection of warm textiles in the space. The olive green velvet headboard, the rattan bench behind the bed, and the beige velvet curtains covering the wardrobe add a beautiful texture to this grey bedroom.

Warmer greys tend to work great in a north-facing room, which typically receives cooler daylight. This is true for other spaces like living rooms or kitchens as well.

This grey bedroom has a lot of contrast between the dark grey walls, the white wardrobe doors, the white trim underneath the ceiling, and the crisp white bedding on the bed. The window is decorated with dark grey heavy curtains to make it look even more dramatic.

The black home office shelf next to the window blends into the wall, while the red accessories and the blue artwork above the bed add some interesting focal points throughout the grey bedroom.

The abundance of natural light coming through the large window that spreads over the entire wall in this small bedroom is balanced out by a deeper grey wall color. The grey scheme is continued in the deeper greys on the bedding and the black lamp seems to almost blend into its background.

The dark grey wall color forms a sophisticated backdrop for the perfectly selected artwork in neutral shades on the gallery wall above the bed, which adds a lot of character to the setting.

This is one of the most majestic dark grey bedroom ideas on the list. The dark grey paint color on the wall is the perfect choice for such a spacious bedroom that receives an abundance of natural light coming through those large turn-of-the-century windows.

The gold tones in the filigree floor mirror and the bedside table add a subtle glamourous touch to the look, while the white and grey linen bedding add exactly the right texture to the setting.

The right grey wall color can create a cozy and enveloping feel, which you can then enhance with a selection of the right complementary colors. The tactile fabrics and soft furnishings in a neutral shade with warm elements add coziness to this spacious bedroom painted with the right shade of dark grey with a subtle warm undertone.

The dark grey bedroom walls are sandwiched between the bright white crown molding underneath the ceiling and the white floorboards that sit on top of the warm hardwood flooring.

A dark soft grey in a small space with an angled wall

While most interior design rules will tell you to use a lighter color in a small bedroom, as it will reflect more daylight and make the room appear bigger, sometimes you just have to throw all rules out of the window and go with your gut.

The dark grey walls in this beautiful sleep space highlight the historic features on the window and crown molding underneath the ceiling, while also accentuating the bright white hardwood floor.

The black-painted vintage dresser with the green plant is a real focal point next to the window and the art print with the orange tones adds a beautiful warm element to the mix.

The black upholstered headboard blends into the dark grey walls and forms the perfect backdrop for the lighter shades in the bedding, which reflect the daylight just as well as if a lighter wall color would have been selected.

The whole scheme in this bedroom revolves around the dark grey walls in combination with the tactile fabrics in warm tones. Since grey is such a versatile color, it can be paired up with any accent color you like, which makes it easy to switch up the look of your space and carry out your bedroom ideas: just switch out the comforter and curtains and you can have a little bedroom transformation in no time.

20 light grey bedroom ideas for a calming effect

post

Light grey is a great color option for your bedroom walls, especially if you want to achieve a soft look that is a bit darker than white walls, yet doesn’t have an effect on the natural light that can flow freely in a room.

Below, you can find a selection of my favorite light grey bedroom ideas in various shades and tones. The list includes a few warm grey bedroom ideas, which are not yet greige wall colors, and a few dark grey options in case you are working with a light-flooded bedroom.

If you are unsure about which grey to select for your bedroom, I explain more about how to select the right grey paint color at the bottom of this post.

Subtle grey walls combined with neutral tones in the fabrics

This subtle grey bedroom has a grey shade that is just enough to set the walls apart from the white ceiling, the white curtains, and the white furniture pieces in the room.

The soft grey wall color is paired up with a mixture of browns and beiges in the bedding and the look is finished off with a beautiful fabric pendant light for a natural touch.

The two beige table lamps on each side of the bed seem to blend in and stand out against the wall color at the same time, resulting in a subtle touch that is very elegant.

A minimalist grey bedroom with a black accent color

I think this is one of the most simple yet sophisticated grey bedroom ideas. The picture ledge adds visual interest to this modern bedroom with white bedding and black light fixtures. On the ledge, the combination of black and white art prints against the perfect backdrop of the grey walls is a beautiful focal point in the interior design of the space.

Mixing and matching frames on a ledge above a bed is a great way to create a home decor element that is easily interchangeable, as you can just swap out the frames and update them as you desire.

A grey bedroom with a white trim

This grey bedroom has white-soaped hardwood flooring and light wood furniture pieces, which gives it a subtle look and feel. The grey walls make the white trim and window frames stand out in a nice way, highlighting the historic features of the room.

The additional grey accents in the wall lamps with the brass inlay and the grey bedding add sophistication, while the brown tones in the throw pillows make the room warm and inviting.

The green fiddle fig tree in the corner of the room combined with the Monstera plants in the window sill add a fresh element to the space.

Subtle shades of grey and blue combined with natural tones

This is one of the most delicate soft grey bedroom ideas and I think it becomes even more interesting with the addition of the navy blue details in the textiles and accessories. The blue tones are balanced out by the beiges and warm wood tones and the chrome table lamps are the perfect finishing touch against the grey bedroom walls.

Blues and beiges are on opposite sides of the color spectrum, which is why they can have such an interesting effect on an interior with a modest color palette.

A more dramatic grey bedroom with dark grey walls

When you use dark greys in a light-flooded room, they tend to have a more subtle effect, just as a lighter tone would have in a low-light room. The dark grey walls provide this space with a sophisticated backdrop from which the white bedding, white sockets, and the combination of black and white art prints jump out

The green eucalyptus branch and the white alarm clock on the simple wooden stool are essential elements to finish off the look and they elevate the neutral color scheme of the space.

A soft grey bedroom combined with blush pink bedsheets

This particular grey bedroom idea looks extra subtle and delicate as the soft grey is paired up with a warmer palette. The soft backdrop of the walls enhances the appearance of the subtle pink bedsheets, adding a beautiful elegance to the room.

The soft peach tones of the bedding also come back in the feather lamp which adds another textural element to this delicate bedroom interior.

A soft grey bedroom combined with dark green bedding

Grey bedrooms can work well with lighter textiles, however, when you add a darker note like the dark green bedding in this case, the look becomes slightly more dramatic.

The grey tones of the wall come back in the grey area rug underneath the bed, which makes the white architectural elements and wardrobe stand out in this grey bedroom scheme, accentuating the ceiling height and shape of the room.

The majestic white fabric pendant light above the bed finishes the look off perfectly, while also accentuating the ceiling height in this space.

A grey bedroom scheme with vintage bedside tables

This grey bedroom idea combines shades of grey on both the walls as well as in the bedding with subtle black accents in the bedside lamps and in the art prints. This soft grey setting is finished off with warm wood tones on the vintage cabinets next to the bed that stand out against this beautiful setting.

Letting the wall color come back in the bed sheets is a great way to achieve a cohesive base look that can then be finished off with more elaborate design elements and colors.

A light pastel grey combined with warm tones in the textiles

This is one of my favorite grey bedroom ideas, as the green-tinted hues in the wall paint add a gorgeous freshness to this room with beautiful details.

The natural light coming through those amazing balcony windows is reflected beautifully on this greenish hue and the grey accents in the textiles and soft furnishings stand out against the white and beige bedding.

The red leaves on the window sill are the finishing touch to this beautiful palette and the white fabric pendant light fits the space wonderfully.

A minimalist grey bedroom in a studio apartment

While most of the grey bedroom ideas in this list are master bedrooms, in this case, the wall color is applied to a small apartment with just one room. The grey wall color is wedged in between white floors and white ceilings and I love the way they bring out the black metal heater in the corner.

The beige striped bedding and the chrome wall lamp tie this grey bedroom look together nicely and the area rug behind the bed breaks up the white flooring in a subtle way.

A cool grey bedroom combined with burgundy tones

Cool-toned greys tend to pair up nicely with warmer tones in the soft furnishings, which is the case with this beautiful medium-grey bedroom including white and burgundy tones in the textiles on the bed.

Dramatic shades of darker greys tend to make white moldings and window frames stand out in a more powerful way, which is especially interesting when you want to show off beautiful historic details in your building.

The brass wall lamps and the moon print add a subtle yet interesting touch above the bed and the contrasting black accent also comes back in the black bentwood chair next to the white window.

I think this combination of the light grey wall color and the tone-on-tone wardrobe results in the most majestic grey bedroom ideas on the list. This master bedroom is decorated in a subtle and neutral color palette with black accents in the art piece and on the rattan drawer tables next to the bed.

The white floorboards are relatively high in this space, breaking up the large surface of the grey-painted walls.

Grey bedroom combined with bright colours

While most of the grey bedroom ideas in this list feature a neutral color palette, this space is finished off with differing tones of yellow and red for a subtle bright look that has a playful look and feel in the small space.

This is a great example of a small bedroom that benefits from the selection of a lighter shade, as a darker paint color would make the room appear even smaller.

A subtle industrial chic grey bedroom with a stark contrast

The soft grey tone on the wall in this bedroom interior is complemented by a mix of delicate textiles in white, beige, and red tones and a fluffy area rug at the foot of the bed. The black wall lamps, black-framed mirror, and black side table, however, add a lot of contrast to this setting, giving it a subtle industrial vibe.

The white fabric pendant lamp fits perfectly in the space and attracts the eye to the white molding underneath the ceiling.

A warm grey bedroom with a tone-on-tone wardrobe

This is one of my favorite warm grey bedroom ideas, as the warm grey serves as the perfect blank canvas for the carefully selected elements in this neutral room design that looks like it was done by an interior designer.

The shades of grey on both the wall and the wardrobe match, resulting in an integrated look. The wardrobe doesn’t continue all the way up to the ceiling, allowing the white molding to be more noticeable.

The wall-to-wall curtains add extra elegance to this beautiful space, and the black wall lamp adds clean accent lines above the bed.

Shades of grey and blue tones on the wing doors

A white and grey colour scheme is perfect when you want to achieve a fresh and cool look without a lot of colors. Neutral shades of grey are easy to pair up with any accent color if you do want to introduce them though.

In this particular grey bedroom idea, I love the modest palette of the bedroom itself, highlighting the white bedding, paired up with the blue in the beautiful wing doors. The blue in the doors also makes a slight blue undertone appear in the wall color, which shows the effect interior elements can have on how the paint color is perceived.

A semi-dark grey paint combined with a gallery wall

This must be the most dramatic grey bedroom idea on the list. The darker greys in the bedroom form the perfect backdrop for the picture frames on the wall which add personality to the space.

The sheer beige curtains warm up the light coming from the window and the black wall lamps add a lovely touch of contrast to the grey bedroom. The white antique fireplace in the corner is a true masterpiece that has become more apparent because of the selection of a darker grey paint color.

A subtle colour scheme on top of a light grey color

The natural light flowing through those beautiful historic windows bounces back beautifully on the soft grey wall color in this bedroom. Pair grey with a warm colour theme like the wood bed frame and the nude pink tones in the bedding of this bedroom to achieve an even softer appearance.

The black wall lamp and the black frame stand out in this warm palette and make the look more powerful.

A grey bedroom idea combined with dramatic shades in the accessories

This grey space doesn’t seem to get a lot of natural light, which is why the light grey color on the wall appears a lot darker. The black throw pillows, dark grey blanket, black bedside tables, and the back tones in the art prints add even more contrast to his dramatic look.

A deep grey with warm undertones for a restful space

This warm grey bedroom idea features a darker shade of grey with a warm undertone for a rich palette from which the white bedside tables and linen bed frame jump out.

Deeper greys, mid greys, or warmer greys typically provide your sleeping space with a richer base palette, especially when combined with warm greys, beiges, and red tones in the finishings.

The striped blanket on the bed finishes this look off perfectly and I love the way the grey stripes are the same as the color on the wall.

How to select a grey shade for bedroom interiors

To achieve the grey bedroom ideas in the list, it is crucial to select the right shade for your bedroom space rather than looking for the exact match seen in the pictures.

Cool greys with blue undertones tend to work well in south-facing rooms with warmer daylight, while a neutral shade or warmer undertone works better in north-facing rooms that get colder light.

Lighter shades tend to work best in smaller or low-lit rooms, while you can achieve a more dramatic effect with a darker color.

Try out a sample of the shade of grey in combination with your bedroom furniture and look at it multiple times a day so you can see the effect the different types of daylight can have on the paint color.

If you don’t want to commit to painting your entire room grey, you can always go for a feature wall or paint the part above a paneled wall grey for a more subtle effect.

15 Bedroom wallpaper ideas for a romantic touch

post

Wallpapers can transform a space and add an extra dimension in a way that is hard to achieve with a lick of paint on the wall. Wallpaper can be especially suited for a bedroom to achieve the right mood and romantic appearance.

Below you can find my selection of the most inspiring bedroom wallpaper ideas ranging from romantic to more minimal.

The beautiful wardrobe around the bed works wonderfully in this large bedroom and it’s a great example of how you can use wallpapers in small sections of your interior design. The wallpaper finishes off the wall in the nook created by the wardrobe, functioning as a headboard of sorts.

The beautiful beige patterned wallpaper in this turn-of-the-century bedroom creates a wonderful backdrop for the wood mirror, black wall lamps, and the grey fabric headboard. The wallpaper design really adds a subtle personality to the space, further enhanced by the careful selection of furnishings and lighting.

The addition of the two olive vintage lounge chairs is great to relax and read a book at night and the material and color combination pairs up perfectly with the endless leaf pattern on the wall.

How to select bedroom wallpapers

There is a large variety of wallpapers available and the design can affect your room in a great way. If you are trying to achieve a modern look, opt for an abstract or geometric design complemented by clean lines in the furniture. For a more glamorous effect in your space, opt for an art deco pattern.

Go for a striped wallpaper design if you want to add classic beauty to your space or go for floral patterns if you want to create a romantic room design.

The effect of wallpaper designs in different bedrooms

The size of the pattern can have an effect on the room as well. Smaller pattern designs will add more detail and they tend to be more subtle, especially in large bedrooms.

Wallpapers with a large pattern on the other hand will be more bold and tend to make smaller bedrooms appear even smaller.

18 Bedrooms with a greige paint color that will make you want to whip out your paintbrush

post

Greige paint colors are a perfect choice for a calm and tranquil look in the bedroom. Greige, a.k.a gray-beige is a very warm gray that can be perceived as beige depending on the warmth of the natural light coming into a room.

Greige is a neutral wall color that is neither too warm nor too cold, which makes it easy to combine with other colors in your bedroom decor. It’s a great wall color choice for a neutral look that has a little something more than just off-white walls and greige paint colors have been increasingly popular over the past few years exactly for this reason.

Have a look at the inspiring greige bedrooms in the list below and find ideas on how to combine this trendy wall color with the right accessories and soft furnishings. At the bottom of this article, you can find the best greige paint colors to try out a swatch from on your walls.

A greige wall color, white trim, and black accent wall lamp

The bedroom in this beautiful turn-of-the-century apartment in Sweden has a beautiful shade of greige on the walls, which makes the white trim, frames around the windows and the light hardwood flooring stand out in a nice way.

The wardrobe is hidden behind a beige linen curtain, which is slightly warmer than the wall color and both the rice paper pendant light and the black metal wall lamp stand out nicely against this beautiful wall color. As a finishing touch, the warm wood of the bentwood chairs and the bench behind the bed bring out the warm undertones in the paint color.

Greige paint colors on the walls and wardrobe

Both the walls and the wardrobe have been painted in a warm tone of greige in this bedroom. The white floorboards and white ceilings really stand out against this wall color and since the wardrobe doesn’t continue all the way up to the ceiling, the room looks more spacious.

The greige paint color is lightened up by the white wall lamps, white chequered bedding, wall art, and the white Eos feather lamp by Umage. The pale oak bedside tables are attached to the wall for an integrated look and they bring out the warm undertones in the wall color.

A deep greige paint color combined with white floors and ceilings

A darker shade of greige adds so much character to this bedroom with white hardwood flooring. The window frame and heating element have been kept white, along with the ceiling, two elements that really stand out in this room.

The door towards the walk-in closet as well as the custom-built wardrobe have been painted in the same color as the wall for a tone-on-tone effect and the burgundy bedsheets really bring out the warm undertones in the paint color.

The warm natural light coming into this bedroom is enhanced by the greige paint color with gray undertones on the walls. The white trim and white floorboards really stand out against this wall color and the mixture of beige and gray in the textiles on the bed work well in combination with the color on the walls.

The greige color in this bedroom goes more toward warm gray and has been paired up with a dark gray custom-built wardrobe with chrome hardware for a cooler effect that has been contrasted by the dark wood trim on the artwork and the orange throw pillows on the bed.

A subtle greige paint color gives this bedroom an elegant touch

The light greige color on these bedroom walls is light and elegant and paired up with a light color palette in the textiles and light fixtures for a monotone effect that matches the small size of this space perfectly.

The stripes on the throw blanket stand out against the minimal textures in the rest of the bedroom elements and the white trim on the ceiling really stands out against the beautiful greige shade on the walls.

The red undertones in this beautiful shade of greige on the walls are brought out even more by the beige striped bedding, the beige artwork, the beige Arum floor lamp, and the rust-colored rice paper lampshade on the ceiling.

The greige paint color works wonderfully to make the turn-of-the-century details of this bedroom stand out and it highlights the beautiful molding on the ceiling.

The deeper shade of greige on the walls in this bedroom results in a moody effect that is enhanced by the deep color palette in the artwork, the honey-colored velvet headboard, and the black wood bench behind the bed.

The general moody vibe in this room has been lightened by the sheer white linen curtains in front of the windows, the white bedding, and the light area rug underneath the bed.

A modest greige paint color combined with whites

This bedroom has such a simple, effortless, and elegant look. The greige wall color has yellow undertones and makes the white hardwood flooring and white trim stand out in a nice way. The white also comes back in the sheer curtains, the bedding, wall lamps, and the bedside tables.

While the whites light up the palette in a nice way, the subtle beige throw blanket and the pale oak J39 chair in the corner add a bit of warmth to the palette.

A greige wall to bring out the crown molding on the ceiling

When you have such beautiful crown molding in your bedroom, you better highlight it and an easy way to do this is to select a wall color that is darker than the color of the trim just like in the case of this beautiful turn-of-the-century bedroom.

The interior of the bedroom is kept simple, with a fabric headboard, fabric pendant light, and a large area rug underneath the bed to add lots of texture to the space.

A barely there greige paint color for a subtle and elegant effect

This bedroom has been painted in a light gray wall color with a subtle beige undertone, which gives the interior a subtle yet elegant look in combination with the pale hardwood flooring.

The warmer wood tones in the bedside tables and the frame of the art print combined with the warm beige throw blanket add some extra warm tones to the mix, while the plant in the window adds a fresh green touch.

Greige walls combined with beige textiles

The red undertones in this greige paint color add a warm glow to the bedroom that is matched by the beige fabric pendant light and artwork on the wall.

The sage green bedsheets combined with the green plant on the nightstand add a fresh touch to the color palette, while the black accents on the bedside tables and small accessories add a bit of contrast to the look.

A subtle greige paint color highlights the historic features in this bedroom

The soft greige paint colors in this living room and bedroom accentuate the ornate historic detailing on the door frames and the crown molding.

The wall color pairs up nicely with the soap-washed hardwood flooring and the mixture of textiles on the bed adds a romantic touch to the interior which is enhanced by the fabric pendant dangling from those high ceilings.

A greige wall color makes the white artwork stand out

The greige wall color in this bedroom has been paired up with beiges in the fabrics and soft furnishings in this bedroom for a calming and sophisticated vibe. The white art piece by Anette Hallbäck really stands out against this wall color, while the black table lamp adds a bit of contrast.

The greige shade in this bedroom goes more towards a light gray, yet it still has very warm undertones that are contrasted beautifully with the blue tones in the artwork next to the bed.

The gray and white textiles on the bed combined with the dark gray area rug complement the look very nicely, while a narrow white trim on the ceiling brings out the wall color even better.

Greige walls combined with a pop of color

The warm greige walls in this bedroom bring out the white crown moldings on the ceiling and the curtains match the wall color for a tone-on-tone look.

The warm undertones in the paint color are accentuated by the gold wall lamps and the warm tones in the artwork, while the orange blanket on the bed adds a beautiful pop of color to the mix.

Some of the best greige paint colors to try out paint samples from

Below you can find a selection of my favorite greige paint colors. They include warmer and cooler shades and lighter or darker variants.

Since greige is quite a tricky color to get right and the undertones that show will highly depend on the kind of daylight a room gets, I always recommend trying out paint swatches first and leaving them for a while so you can take a look at the paint color at different times during the day.

29 Sage green bedroom ideas for a fresh yet serene effect

post

Sage-green paint colors have a calming and serene effect on any interior setting. This makes them a perfect color choice for bedrooms especially, where we go to sleep, rest, or wind down.

A sage-green bedroom wall color comes in a variety of different shades, tones, and hues. Depending on the orientation of the room, you might want to try out a paint color with more warm or cool undertones.

In the list below, I have gathered the most inspiring sage-green bedroom ideas. Each of the rooms has a different combination and style of textiles and accessories. I’m sure this will allow you to get ideas on how to decorate your bedroom.

Soft sage-green walls combined with crisp white floors

The sage green paint color makes the crisp white floors stand out. The wall color also accentuates the white historic features that characterize the building.

This calming room features neutral textiles and a throw blanket in the same tone as the walls. The dark wall art piece stands out against the green backdrop and finishes the look off.

A guest bedroom painted in a sage green color

For some of you, painting the main bedroom sage green might seem too daring. You can always choose to paint a less prominent room in this beautiful color. A guest room is the perfect candidate for this.

The beige and grey throw blankets add a contrasting tone to the white textiles on the bed. As the finishing touch, the dark artwork adds a focal point to the wall.

A sage green paint color can have a very calming effect in a space. Combining it with a more vibrant pop of color instead of neutral tones can give it a playful appearance. In the example below, the pink print and blue mirror add a playful touch.

Note that the bedside table has the same color as the wall, for a ton-on-tone effect.

Sage green is a great choice when picking out a color for a very small space. It has a serene effect, is close to nature, and can be light so it can reflect the daylight to make the room look bigger.

To achieve an impressive effect, the wall continues on the ceiling of this bedroom as well. The beiges and caramel tones in the textiles bring out the warm undertones in the paint color.

This might be one of my favorite modern sage green bedroom ideas. The green paint color has a strong cool undertone that adds a fresh touch to the entire room.

A combination of greens and pink tones for a bold and modern effect

Sage green bedrooms usually have a very calming effect. Combine them with other colors on the other end of the color spectrum to achieve a modern appearance.

This modern sage-green bedroom stands out because of the pops of reds among the greens. Additionally, the beautiful green curtains complete the look.

Sage-green paint throughout your home

While often used for its tranquil and calming effects in a bedroom, sage-green is such a versatile color, that it can work well in other rooms in your home. Sage-green kitchen cabinets offer a timeless look that is a bit more unique than a white kitchen for example and the tranquil effect of a sage-green paint color in the living room can offer a soothing and inviting atmosphere.

10 cozy minimalist bedroom ideas

post

When it comes to minimalist interior design, there is a scale ranging from empty and almost clinical spaces to interiors with some points of visual interest that make a room cozy and characterful. While I would still call myself a minimalist, I favor adding a few details and decor pieces to make the interior more personal. You can do so by still maintaining a minimalist interior look.

When it comes to the bedroom though, I like things clean and minimal, without too much fluff. With a few neutral tones in the textiles, accessories, or art prints, you can elevate a minimalist style and make it cozy and inviting.

Below you can find a collection of my favorite minimalist bedroom ideas that I find both cozy and minimal. You can find minimalist bedrooms in all sorts of sizes and shapes in the list.

10 minimalist bedrooms to take inspiration from

A spacious turn-of-the-century bedroom with black accents

Through those beautiful turn-of-the-century doors you can take a peek into this minimalist bedroom with white walls, high ceilings, and an abundance of natural light. The wall behind the bed hides away a walk-in closet and I love the way the white linen bedframe with the crisp bedding (H&M has a great and affordable option*) blends into the space.

The dark color palette in the soft furnishings and accessories adds a lot of power to this minimalist bedroom and the dark tones in the velvet throw pillows* and the velvet bench behind the bed really stand out against all the white.

A minimalist space with a niche bedroom

This serene bedroom with lots of beige tints and white linen bedding* has been fitted inside a small niche space. The natural wood of the peg rail and the beige textiles really warm up the space, while the subtle black accents add character.

A minimalist bedroom with a Japandi vibe

This beautiful bedroom has a slightly awkward layout, but it works well combined with the armchair in front of the window and the home office on the other wall. The beige linen bedding* matches so nicely with the crisp white walls and the paper Formakami lampshade*.

The two white linen bathrobes* on the wall hanging are both a functional and an aesthetical element in the space and the subtle art prints enhance this modest look.

White walls and visual interest in the details

Even though this minimalist bedroom has a lot of details, the base is very simple and consists of white walls, a simple white bed with a headboard, and a white wardrobe. The rustic bench behind the bed and the stool that is used as a bedside table gives the minimalist space a more rustic and laid-back look, which is enhanced by the beige tints in the accessories and the beige waffle throw* on the bed.

A modern bedroom with a classic touch

The low bed design gives this minimalist bedroom a modern look, which has been balanced out by the classic lampshade on the ceiling and the turn-of-the-century details in the space. The sparse furnishings and empty space around the bed make you pay attention to the muted tones in the branch and the art print and the side table on one side of the bed gives the look a modern, asymmetric touch.

A tiny minimalist bedroom with black accents

This tiny bedroom really benefits from a minimalist approach and the fact that the walls have been kept white turns this space into a comfortable bedroom that looks and feels spacious.

The white walls continue in the white linen bedding*, which is enhanced with a black contrasting accent pillow and grey textiles. The wardrobe has been painted black and has become a true focal point in the all-white space.

A minimalist bedroom with a monochromatic palette and lots of textiles

The textiles enhance this minimalist bedroom in such a lovely way and give the space an airy feel. The sheer curtains (find affordable linen curtains here*) on both sides soften out the natural light coming in through the windows, while the mixture of textiles on the bed adds a lot of extra depth and texture to this look. The soft curves of the beautiful black wall lamp and the clean lines of the black bentwood chair add a few contrasting lines to the minimalist feel of this bedroom.

A small minimalist bedroom with white walls

This small minimalist bedroom doesn’t seem to have any direct daylight coming in, which is why an all-white color palette with white wall lamps and white bedding* is a great choice that makes the space look more bright and spacious. This all-white look also has a very minimal effect which has been made interesting with the black throw pillows and the subtle black line art print on the wall.

Light grey walls and white details for a minimal look

The beautiful blue turn-of-the-century doors that come out into this minimalist bedroom are very characterful, especially combined with the warm wood flooring.

To make these beautiful features stand out in the best way, the design of the bedroom has been kept very simple and minimal, with white bedding with a subtle black trim*, a light grey paint color on the wall, and a natural rug that matches the color of the hardwood flooring.

Touches of beige and dark wood for a warm minimalist vibe

Rather than a side table on each side of the bed, this beautiful minimalist bedroom features a small cabinet in a dark wood on each side of the bed, combined with the same gold wall lamp above each.

The beige striped bedding matches the color palette in the art print on the wall and the rice paper shade adds a bit of a Japandi vibe to the space.

Accessories in the same color family for a minimal look

While this is definitely the least minimalist bedroom on the list, the minimal color palette and the neutral tones in the textiles, and the gallery wall above the bed have a very minimal look, yet with added character.

How can you create your own minimalist bedroom look?

Remove visual clutter

If you don’t yet have a very minimal look in your space right now, it’s easiest to start with removing things before you start to select decorative items to enhance your minimalist bedroom. Having fewer items in your bedroom altogether will make it easier to keep it clutter free and organized.

Make sure you have ample storage space

A great wardrobe that can hold all your clothes is an essential furniture piece (whether you place it in your bedroom or in a separate room) as it will allow you to keep all items that you don’t want to display organized and out of sight.

Look for a perfect balance of bright whites and neutral colors

White walls are a great and easy start for a simple bedroom design and they give you lots of options to work with a restrained palette, while still creating an interesting look within a minimalist bedroom.

Work with the biggest furniture pieces like the bed and wardrobe in a white or neutral color and finish off with details in subtle tones. You can add simple furniture pieces like bedside tables in black or wood tones and work with the textiles and accessories to create texture and visual points of interest. Remember that it’s easy to switch out a throw pillow, wall hanging, or art print, yet it’s a bit more challenging to change out the furniture in a space.

Before you start working with the accessories, it’s good to decide whether you want to work with dark accents, or warm tones to enhance your minimalist bedroom. Once you decide that you can not go wrong with experimenting until you get the perfect minimalist feel in your bedroom that you are happy with.

38 inspiring blue bedroom ideas

post

Blue is a perfect color choice for a bedroom, as it has a calming effect which is exactly what you need in a space where you mainly go to get a good rest. The color blue comes in a variety of shades and tones and the paint color you should pick depends on the size of the room and the color of the natural light hitting the space.

When you have a large bedroom you can opt to paint your walls blue with a dark shade, while smaller spaces might benefit from a lighter blue paint color.

Below you can find a list of the most beautiful blue bedroom ideas, carefully selected by me. The list includes a variety of bedroom ideas with blue walls in different tints, and tones and combined with different materials in the textiles, art pieces, and furniture pieces.

A muted dark blue combined with white textiles and a gallery wall above the bed

This bedroom features a subtle muted, yet dark tone of blue, which contrasts nicely with the sheer white linen curtains and the light hardwood flooring. The mixture of white and beige bedding softens out the cold blue of the walls and the gallery wall above the bed adds even more character and personality to this space.

Apart from the white tones in the textiles and the art prints popping out against the wall color, the light grey Flowerpot bedside lamps and the white Flos Gatto lamp get a lot of attention against this dark wall color as well.

A teal blue bedroom with a small home office

The blue bedroom walls in this asymmetric space have green undertones, which pair up nicely with the beige and orange tones in the textiles and furniture pieces.

The white wardrobe matches the white crown molding on the ceiling and the white on the door and window frames for a classy look. Next to the wing doors, a small yet smart home office finds its place, featuring warm wood tones that contrast nicely with the cool tones in the paint color.

A muted blue bedroom with blue doors

A muted blue has been used here on all the walls and one of the doors for a cohesive look. The moldings and the other door are kept white for contrast and the blue of the walls comes back in the accessories all over the room.

The rich tones of the art print above the bed both complement and contrast the blue walls at the same time and the lighter tones in the bedding and headboard bring balance to this calm look.

A light blue bedroom combined with beige accent pieces

So far, the blue bedroom ideas in this list were all a bit on the darker side, but you can have a very calming effect with light blue walls as well. This light blue bedroom has a fresh look that has a spacious appearance because of the relatively light wall color.

The white accents in the linen bedding, side table, bentwood chair, ricepaper shade, and area rug enhance the light and fresh look the light blue walls create, while the beige in the art print and the other soft furnishings add a warm touch to the space.

A rich dark blue accent wall

This all-white bedroom features a rich, dark feature blue wall, which creates a beautiful contrast in the space. When you look closely enough, you can see the wall is actually a blue wallpaper or existing wallpaper that has been painted over.

The crisp white linen sheets enhance the contrast in the room even more, while the vintage chairs next to the bed add a lot of character. The black Gubi Bestlite BL6 Wall Lamps finish the look off perfectly and add a lot of dimension above the bed.

A dark teal blue bedroom with beige textiles

I think this is one of the most perfectly balanced blue bedroom ideas you can find. The dark teal wall color brings out the beautiful white trim on the ceiling and the white window frames, while the warm tones in the decorative pillows and the linen curtains warm up the cool tones of the blue bedroom walls.

The camel bedsheets and the beige tones add the final touch to this balanced color scheme and the simple black wall lights add a lovely contrast above the bed.

Pale navy blue paired up with light textiles

The dark, muted navy blue bedroom walls highlight the beautiful crown molding on the ceiling and the overall look of the space has been brightened up with the sheer white linen curtains and the light grey fabric headboard.

The walls in blue pair up perfectly with the warm wood tones in the small furniture pieces and the hardwood flooring. The mixture of white bedding and beige textiles works wonderfully in this space and the single striped throw pillow becomes a subtle eye-catcher on the bed.

A greyish-blue bedroom on a small surface

When you are required to work on a small surface, sometimes you need a bit of a darker color anyways to bring more character to the bedroom scheme. Depending on how the light hits the wall color, this might be more of a grey, yet it’s definitely a grey with cool undertones, which is why this bedroom found its place in the list of blue bedroom ideas.

The small wardrobe has been painted in the same color as the walls, which can be such an upgrade from white furniture pieces when you want to go for an integrated look and feel.

A light blue ceiling in a white bedroom

This might be one of the most uncommon blue bedroom ideas on the list, yet the blue on the ceiling has such an impactful effect on the space. The blue ceiling mimics a blue sky, which gives the otherwise modest interior design a playful touch.

To work with a darker-colored ceiling as your walls, it’s essential that your room has relatively high ceilings so that the space doesn’t feel too cramped. You could even work with a blue wallpapered ceiling to attract even more attention to the height of the room and just like in this example, a beautiful pendant light will finish off the look perfectly.

A deep color blue on walls, windows, and doorframes

This is one of the blue bedroom ideas that have the moodiest effect in the room. Not only did the interior designer select a very dark tone of blue, the entire space including the window and door frames and headboard is painted in the same beautiful blue paint color for a very impressive effect.

The light artwork above the bed, the white ceiling, and the beige bedsheets really stand out against the dark color scheme on the walls and the wing doors that lead up to the bedroom are kept white, which makes it look like they ‘frame’ the dark color palette of the small bedroom.

Grey walls combined with blue curtains and blue decorative pillows

While so far in this list, we’ve seen many blue bedroom ideas with deep blue walls brightened up with lighter elements, a more dramatic look has been achieved in this bedroom, which has a dark color scheme overall.

By using dark blue curtains combined with blue-grey textiles on the bed, a tone-on-tone color scheme is created, which has been contrasted with the beautiful black Mantis BS5 wall lamp to finish off this dramatic look.

A navy blue bedroom with gold and blue accents

The navy blue wall color in this bedroom highlights the white trim, white floorboards, and white ceiling in the space in an elegant way, enhanced by the soft beige curtains that warm up the daylight coming through the white windows.

The white bedding is matched by a white area rug and the throw pillows in muted colors add a tranquil vibe to the space. The blue bedroom walls are enhanced by gold wall lamps and blue accents in the XL art print above the bed.

The home office spot adds a natural element to the space matched by the peg rail on the wall, which complement the warm tones in the hardwood flooring in a lovely way.

A muted royal blue accent wall in an all-white bedroom

An accent wall can be a great solution if you want to make sure your blue bedroom doesn’t become too dark. In this space, the contrast between the blue and white walls has been balanced out by including vintage furniture pieces in warm wood tones.

The beautiful white crown molding on the ceiling stands out against the blue bedroom wall and this effect has been carried over in the selection of the wardrobe as well, which matches the classy white look of the historic architectural details of the space.

A soft, yet fresh look has been achieved in this beautiful space by combining the cool wall color with warm elements. The wing doors leading up to the bedroom are kept bare and in the room itself, you can find a lovely combination of warm wood and beige textiles.

Blue hues combined with warm tones for a characterful effect

I think this bedroom has so many interesting elements. The vintage shelf combined with the vintage mirror looks amazing, yet comes to life even better because of the deep blue wall color. The bed itself has been made with warm-colored textiles and the walls around the window have been kept white to accentuate the bright daylight coming in.

Fresh blue walls combined with white textiles

This blue bedroom has a very fresh tone of light blue on the walls, which has a wonderful effect on this smaller bedroom space. The off-white linen curtains go wall-to-wall and frame the window in a nice way.

The beige, wood, and blue accents throughout the room add a calm touch to the space and the Cestita lamp by Santa & Cole in the window is the cherry on top of this modest color palette.

A navy blue backdrop

The deep blue accent wall in this bedroom design has been used to accentuate the beautiful old built-in wardrobes next to the window. The contrast between the white and blue paint helps to visually understand the uncommon layout of the room and this contrast has been enhanced by using white wall lamps, bedside tables, and bedsheets.

The white art print and the wall lamps seem to jump out against the dark blue, which is the perfect backdrop for the white bedding and furnishings in this bedroom design.

A soothing blue wall color combined with a simple decor

This bedroom design has a perfect balance between the blue on the wall, the white bedsheets, the paper shade lamp, and the green plants in both the window and on the floor. The green plants add an extra fresh touch to the space, which is lacking in the muted wall color itself and the Japanese lampshade is a true focal point in this modest decor.

A blue wardrobe built around the bed

While most of the blue bedroom ideas on my list include blue walls, in this example, the custom wardrobe solution is the source of blue color in the interior design.

The muted blue wardrobe has been custom-built around the bed for an impressive look in this all-white bedroom. The white bedding, beige curtains, and beige throw blanket add a warm touch to the cool tones of the wardrobe and add a certain balance to the space to make it the perfect room to fall asleep in.

Pale dark blue and calming shades of beige in a guestroom and home office

If blue is too daring for your primary bedroom, it might be a perfect color choice for your guest bedroom instead. A perfect balance has been achieved between the wall color, furniture pieces, and accessories in this bedroom.

I love the way the warm wood of the little desk, the warm textiles of the lounge chair, and the warm elements in the art prints above the bed are the red thread in this interior, which comes to life because of the deep blue backdrop the wall color provides.

A deep blue wall color has been used on both the walls and on the built-in wardrobe in this space, which contrasts so beautifully with the pink linen bedsheets, and the natural materials in the home office area.

The darker blue shade of the bedroom walls enhances the clean lines of the space and the wardrobe section that has been covered with shiplap. The different patterns and textures in the materials of the space work very nicely together and the blue wall paint ties the look of the space together.
