If you're planning on renovating your master bedroom, creating a guest room for family or friends, or redesigning your child's bedroom, it can be difficult to know where to start. There are many decisions to make and many products to choose from when furnishing a sleeping area.
That's why it's helpful to look at some of the most important bedroom design trends right now. You might want to take inspiration from the following influential bedroom trends for 2023.
Luxury through extra details
This year, bedrooms are being upgraded to be more luxurious with many details that give sleeping spaces more of a high-end luxury hotel feel. You can follow suit and transform your master suite into a place of rest and relaxation by adding details that give a similar five-star feel.
For example, it's worth looking for a high-quality, comfortable mattress that supports your sleeping position (e.g. side, back or stomach) and adding a thick mattress topper for extra softness. In addition, you should sleep in thick, hotel-quality cotton, bamboo or satin sheets that are breathable and made from natural or sustainable fibers.
Bedrooms can also be enhanced with additional touches by using smart technologies such as smart lighting, televisions, entertainment and sound systems and automated blinds. You can also up the luxury factor by purchasing some high-quality candles for your room and getting a “wow” piece of art for above your bed or elsewhere.
Increased use of earthy tones
Earthy tones have been trending in many rooms of the house for the past few years, but in 2023, they are especially seen in bedrooms. You can help warm up your sleeping area and make it feel like you're bringing the outdoors indoors by decorating your master bedroom in down-to-earth colors like soft gray, clay, plum, coral, amber, and green, etc.
Such shades add depth to a room, but are also modern and versatile, so they suit all types of architecture and design. You can bring some earthy tones into your bedroom by using classic comforter sets, duvet covers or sheets, your choice of lighting fixtures or ceiling fans, rugs, flooring, curtains and more.
Lots of walnut wood in use
Another trend that will be noticeable in 2023 is the choice of walnut wood in bedrooms. This deep wood tone gives a feeling of solidity and can also be combined with other types of wood such as white oak if you want a nice contrast. You can use walnut wood in your bedroom in the furniture you decorate it with, such as your platform bed or headboard, nightstands, dressing table, reading chair and the like.
Alternatively, you can also decorate your closet wall with this material to keep it on trend this year and beyond.
Patterns visible in many areas
Patterns have always been a staple in bedrooms, especially in bedding, but this year they're especially prominent in master suites and guest rooms. Rather than continuing to focus on lots of crisp white sheets or solid-colored duvet covers that have been all the rage in recent years, designers are now using a variety of pattern types in all sleeping spaces. You'll find patterns not only in bedding, but also in curtains, rugs, artwork, pillows, wallpaper, vases, lampshades, and so on.
You can join this trend by choosing pieces with stripes, checks, tartans, florals or other types of patterns, whether just one option or several. However, if you choose a mix of patterns, make sure the materials are the same tone so the room doesn't look visually cluttered or overly busy.
More lighting with pep
Bedroom design 2023 also focuses on lighting with a twist. If your bedroom currently has very basic lighting fixtures, you may want to replace them with more interesting and fun options. There is a trend in lighting design that helps give bedrooms a warm, romantic glow through the use of red, dark plum, coral or other undertones and saturated hues.
You may want to update the room's lampshades and overhead lighting, such as chandeliers or pendant lights. Another way to create striking lighting is to install wall lights or use floor lamps.
Focus on curvy bedroom furniture and furnishings
Finally, note that one of the trends for bedrooms in 2023 is curved bedroom furniture and fittings. Rounded pieces like curved headboards and bed frames are making a grand entrance, as are cocoon-style reading chairs, circular lighting, round window seat frames, and dressing tables and bedside tables with rounded edges.
Whether you're looking to make minimal updates to your sleeping area or undertake a complete renovation, taking advantage of one or more of these trends will help transform your bedroom into a modern, appealing space where you'll enjoy spending quality time relaxing.
