Minimalist Bedroom Decor

The bedroom is the room where we begin and end our days. It should be a quiet space perfect for rest and relaxation.

Decorating you bedroom doesn’t have to be a major undertaking. You can add to your decor a little at a time. The minimalist style is also easy because once you get the basics down there isn’t much else to add. Use these ten tips to get your minimalist bedroom decor started off on the right foot.

1. Choose a Limited Color Palette

You don’t have to choose white walls to follow minimalism. Light colors are considered fine to follow this style. Choose light blues, greens, or pastel colors. Just don’t choose any eye-popping colors that would distract from the elements in your room. Go for a minimalist color palette that blends into the background and looks soft and airy.

You could also choose a charcoal black or neutral browns. Brown can play up an organic, natural look. Just be sure to keep them subdued. Add shades of grey and white for an amazing color combination. Light grey is considered to be more feminine while dark grey is more masculine.

2. Choose a Streamlined Bed

One of the elements that will make the biggest impact on your bedroom is your bed. That’s because the bed usually takes up a lot of space in the room. Look for a sleek platform bed rather than an elaborate bed. Most minimalist beds do not have a footboard, but they do have headboards. Look for a headboard made from natural materials or reclaimed wood.

Use pillows and a couple of textured throw blankets to bring a warm feeling into the room and add different elements. We like the chunky knit blankets and fury throw pillows. Don’t add too many accents to overcrowd the room. Remember this is minimalist bedroom decor. But one or two won’t hurt.

3. Minimalist Bedroom Decor is Balanced

Balance and symmetry are key to any minimalist bedroom decor. Pay close attention to the details of your room such as the size of your furniture and the arrangement of the pieces in your space. If you like to have a bedside table try placing one on both sides of the bed. Opt for symmetrical arrangements of photos on the wall or pillows on the bed. This will also keep your room looking tidy and neat.

If you are going for a monochromatic look, such as all white, play around with different textures to add variety. Also, think about adding in one contrasting color to keep the eye moving around the room. Repeat the color throughout the room so everything flows together nicely and remains consistent with your color palette.

4. Add Small Touches

Adding small touches of patterns or color can make a huge difference in your minimalist bedroom. Think about different patterns or art you can add. Candles, potted plants, and small figurines all give a minimalist bedroom a lived in look without looking cluttered.

Avoid flashy colors and busy prints. Stick with the colors in your palette. Look for small touches that add a sense of tranquility to your bedroom. For the best results group items together to make a statement. One candle doesn’t do much but three candles close together on a dresser could be the perfect small touch.

5. Add a Round Mirror

Ina room full of sleek straight lines a round mirror adds a unique touch. Hang your mirror opposite a window to reflect the natural light and brighten up the room. A round mirror above the dresser is functional and aesthetically pleasing.

There are a variety of finishes for the frame of your mirror that will match you color scheme. Try a mirror with a wooden frame or one that hangs from a rope for an organic touch. Round mirror with black or brushed chrome frames add coolness. Or opt for a frame-less mirror for the ultimate minimalist look.

6. Keep the Room Clutter-Free

The key to a minimalist bedroom is keeping the room clutter free at all times. Store items under your bed or out of sight. Your room doesn’t have to look sterile like no one lives there but it should remain neat. A neat room shows off your furnishing and artwork more than a cluttered room.

Clutter also adds stress to any room. The ultimate serene space is a cluttered free space. Go through all your items and purge anything that “doesn’t bring you joy”. Take this time to purge your closet as well. You will thank yourself later by spending a little more time upfront getting rid of things you don’t wear anymore.

7. Leave Some Walls Blank

Blank walls are huge in a minimalist bedroom. You don’t want to hang something on every wall. It will crowd the room especially if your room is small. But there is no need to have all of your walls bare. Hanging a few pieces can add to the room. Just make sure the pieces are simple.

If you have an accent wall that is painted in another color, perhaps leave that wall blank since it will already stand out more than the other walls. Take a look at all the items you hung on your wall in your previous bedroom decorating scheme and reduce them by at least half to achieve the minimalist look.

8. Added Potted Plants

This one is for all the plant moms out there! Adding a potted plant or two to your minimalist bedroom can add an organic touch. Be sure to find plants that do well with the amount of light in your room so they will be happy living in your bedroom. Succulents can be an awesome choice for a bedroom and require minimal attention.

Or opt for silk variations of your favorite plants instead. That way you will never forget to water them. Just please make sure you dust them! Nothing is worse than a dusty fake plant. Also, you could add a silk floral arrangement if you prefer flowers instead of the potted plant look.

9. Clean Lines

When choosing furniture to add to the bedroom pick items with clean straight lines. The furniture items shouldn’t stand out but rather blend into the room. Choose items in white or another color from your room’s palette.

Keep the furniture free from trim, carvings, decorations, or other details. Some chic options can be affordably purchased at stores like Ikea or online.

10. Add a Metallic Accent

Rose gold, copper, chrome, brushed chrome, stainless, silver, pewter, or gold. Whatever metallic color you choose pick one and stick with it. Work it in throughout the room in little places to add a little shine to the room and a modern touch.

The edge of a frame, a shelf, a jewelry stand, the handles on a dress or an accent in your side table could all add the shine you are looking for. It doesn’t need to be a lot to be noticed in your minimal bedroom. Look for items that have a hint of color, not items that are fully colored in a metallic color.
