Our bedrooms are our sanctuaries from the outside world. Some people keep their bedrooms looking fairly basic, with just a bed and a bedside table with lamp, walls painted with a rather anonymous white colour. Other people prefer to add a bit of style and colour into them.
If you feel that it is time to give your bedroom an upgrade but you are a bit stuck for ideas, then you need to take a look at these awesome examples on how to create a modern bedroom design!
Light and Airy
First off is this light and airy design idea courtesy of IKEA, for those of you that want to stick with a mostly-white theme. This theme is particularly suitable for smaller bedrooms, as the white colours give the impression that the room is bigger than it actually is, yet the red wardrobe helps to break things up.
Here are the main items needed to help you achieve this look:
- Dulux “Nutmeg White” paint for the walls;
- Red “PAX” wardrobe with sliding doors;
- White “PS 2012” LED wall lamps;
- White “NORDLI” double bed frame;
- White “NORDLI” bedside table;
- White “BESTÅ” shelf units with glass doors;
- White “REIDAR” aluminium chair.
Italian Contemporary
This Italian contemporary theme is inspired by the “Olona” wenge-effect style from Dreams, and will not only jazz up your bedroom but also add a touch of class and style.
You could achieve this look using the following items:
- Dulux “Amazon Beat 3” paint for the walls;
- B&Q “Colours Sculpted Coffee” solid oak flooring;
- Dreams wenge-effect “Cassidy” double bed frame with storage;
- Dreams wenge-effect “Olona” 3-drawer bedside chest;
- Dreams wenge-effect “Olona” 3-door wardrobe with mirror;
- Dreams wenge-effect “Olona” 4-drawer chest;
- A nice Kylie Minogue Bedding from the Curtain Bar.
Vanilla Gloss
If you fancy something contemporary with a slightly retro kick to it, then maybe a vanilla gloss themed bedroom is just up your street! Its light glossy colours mix well with the warm wood colours, and items such as the chair give it a bit of a retro feel too!
Here are some ideas of what you could use to achieve this effect, inspired by B&Q:
- Dulux “Nutmeg White” paint for the walls;
- Carpetright “Aspen” mocha carpet for the floor;
- IKEA “MALM” bed frame;
- MFI “Lagos” 2-door wardrobe;
- MFI “Lagos” 6-drawer chest;
- Nest.co.uk “Magis” Bombo chair.
