5 Ways to Style Minimalist Bedrooms
Clean lines, simplicity, and a pared-down aesthetic and color palette define minimalism, a style that delivers maximum impact with less is more. At Walls & Things, we’ve always been a big advocate of this style - something we’re sure you’ve noticed in our work! We don’t believe less has to be boring though; when done right minimalism can be both functional and beautiful! There’s more to minimalist interior design than meets the eye, and more ways to achieve the look than just one. Here, we’re breaking down 5 different minimally styled bedrooms with what makes each of them so special.
Earthy
This bedroom takes its cues from the natural world. A unified earthy palette, accessories that draw inspiration from nature, and lightly textured fabrics come together create a minimalist escape! Here’s a tip - when using earthy tones and textures, pile up the soft furnishings. This sense of cozy tactility is what makes the room a cocooning space to curl up in!
Easy Breezy
Decorating with sandy-toned furnishings and fabrics gives this bedroom a modern mood and easy, breezy elegance! In taking inspiration from the ocean, the headboard has been upholstered in a striking shade of blue while two framed prints of shells hang above. In a wood-clad room such as this, we recommend using simple furniture and accessories to maintain a contemporary streamlined aesthetic.
Glam Black
Accessories can be the best way to communicate a mood - and black adds drama! When mixed with a palette of soft greys, however, it also promotes a soothing energy, creating a space that’s stylish, yet not high-octane. For a formal look, try injecting a metallic color into the mix like we did with these silver patterned cushions!
Pops of Pattern
This bedroom design has all the crisp lines of a minimalist aesthetic but is peppered with a bit of graphic pattern as a quirky finishing touch! In a neutral colored room like this black and brown one, a simple design that’s hand-stitched is a crafted touch that adds warmth, tactility, and visual interest. If you tend to shy away from patterns, try introducing just one into your space next time - a little goes a long way with print and pattern!
Soft Touches
While minimalism does evoke a certain sense of unfussiness, it doesn’t mean you have to edit the soft furnishings! Here, a sectional sofa and bed come together to create a sitting and sleeping area that’s plush with soft textiles. Its cool, neutral coloring and patterned textures form an area that speaks volumes in comfort, but that’s light, airy, and uncluttered in feel.
