We are entering a new defining era of bedroom decor. It’s about time to bid adieu to some of the old trends while walking hand-in-hand with others and also welcoming in some new styles.
And if you have been waiting for a bedroom decor refresh, this might just be the wake-up call your bedroom needs!
So, without further ado, let’s dive right into the bedroom trends that designers agree will be ruling in 2024:
A Shift to Custom Decor Products
With the bedroom being the most personal space, clients are looking for personalisation in decor – elements that clearly spell bespoke.
There is a significant trend of moving away from off-the-shelf products from big stores with the same product catalogues.
Clients are seeking a more personal approach in selecting decor that includes repurposing family heirlooms and shopping from vintage stores and custom decor brands.
To give you an example, instead of a cheap store-bought painting with 100 similar copies, clients are supporting local artists by purchasing an original piece that speaks to their taste and personality.
Similarly instead of store-bought window treatments that offer no scope for customization in terms of sizing or styling, decor enthusiasts are investing in made-to-measure curtains that offer the luxury of indulging in a decor affair where they can customise every aspect of the drapes, from heading styles to fabric, sizing, and embellishments.
Walking Away from White Walls
The pandemic was a time for revelations and learnings and one such new-found knowledge was that humans actually like colours much more than tranquil whites or neutral greys, especially in their personal space. While white has a space reserved of its own in decor, the bedroom walls are shying away from it.
Instead, darker or warmer shades that create a relaxing and welcoming ambience in the bedroom are on the rise. Such bold colour choices can be pared down with soft-toned linens for bedding or other lighter coloured elements in the decor like a modern monochrome painting, light-coloured drapes, and upholstery.
The Return of Romanticism
Bedrooms are welcoming in softness in decor – a touch of feminine romanticism where soft dreams can kiss slumbering clients. Sleek lines, and plain hotel-like linen beddings and drapes are being replaced significantly.
Designers are embracing curves, swirls, printed or patterned bedding, more ruffles, pleats, and tufted or quilted designs that add playfulness and character to spaces.
This resurgence of romanticism in decor is also bringing a notable shift towards incorporating natural elements into bedroom designs.
This includes the use of organic materials such as wood, stone, and rattan to create a sense of warmth and tranquillity. Such choices emphasize sustainability in decor by opting for eco-friendly furniture and accessories, promoting a connection to nature within the bedroom sanctuary.
This harmonious blend of romance and nature fosters a serene and rejuvenating atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Forever Spring with Floral Drapes & Wallpapers
Florals are truly the one pattern that never goes out of style. Ever in-vogue, and always welcomed in with soft smiles for their ability to freshen up a space, they have made their way into 2024 bedroom trends.
From floral drapes that replicate flower petals with their soft pleats to wallpapers that bring the scenic beauty of blooming gardens right within your bedrooms, florals are here to stay.
Beyond traditional drapes and wallpapers, floral motifs are also making a statement on various elements of bedroom furnishings like upholstered headboards and accent pillows.
The timelessness of floral designs can also be attributed to their versatility which enables them to coordinate with different interior styles.
Whether it’s a vintage-inspired floral wallpaper paired with rustic wooden furniture for a quaint cottage charm or bold floral accents juxtaposed against sleek, modern decor for a contemporary flair, there’s endless room for creativity in floral-themed bedrooms.
Layer Bedroom to Create a Cocoon
Designers are advocating for the thoughtful layering of decor elements in bedroom decor to enhance both the visual appeal and tactile experience of the space.
Start by layering bedding with different textures and weights, such as a plush duvet, soft throws, and a variety of accent pillows in complementary fabrics.
Next, you can layer blackout curtains with sheer panels or lightweight roman blinds, allowing for versatility in controlling natural light while adding softness and privacy to the room.
Lastly, layer the lighting – mix overhead fixtures with bedside lamps, task lighting, and decorative accents like string lights or candles to achieve a warm and inviting glow throughout the space.
