41 Modern Bedroom Ideas Full of Glamour and Inspiration
These bedrooms balance trends with timelessness to inspire a spectacular—and relaxing—space.
So often, people place such emphasis on designing the spaces within a home that encounter the most foot traffic from guests. Think living rooms, bathrooms, and dining rooms. But what about the bedroom? Whether you retreat there to catch up on beauty rest, curl up with a book, or settle in for a full-series binge session, a well-designed modern bedroom makes all the difference in the world. Of course, that's not to say that a modern bedroom has to be minimalist with few colors and futuristic finishes to boot. Instead, a modern bedroom can be just about anything you want it to be: vivid, neutral, monochrome—you name it. The idea is to transform your sacred sleep space into a room that you'll want to spend even more time. With that in mind, keep reading to discover more than three dozen modern bedroom ideas, including everything from colorful, bold bedrooms with wallpaper to all-white bedrooms.
The Retro Modern Bedroom
Designed by Fran Keenan, this bedroom in a Los Angeles-based home pays homage to its locale. With a bright, cheerful color scheme, a disco ball-like light fixture, and prints that are downright groovy, this modern bedroom nods toward the glamorous style of Hollywood, albeit a few decades beyond its inspiration.
The Icy Monochrome Modern Bedroom
Nestled amongst the rooms of a Mary McDonald-designed Pebble Beach Château, this cool-toned monochrome bedroom combines various shades of solid gray with a handful of patterns. In that way, the room offers visible intrigue despite its lack of color.
The Blush-Toned Modern Bedroom
Upholstered bed frames are back in a big way and this blush-toned modern bedroom designed by Monica Fried hit the trend on the head. Accompanied by retro floating light fixtures, a multi-colored geometric rug, and a high-shine nightstand, this modern bedroom is the ultimate feminine hideaway.
The Bold Blue and White Modern Bedroom
Here, designer Young Huh proves that even a two-hue color scheme can make for a bold modern bedroom statement. Where the wallpaper and drapery are the same print, Huh incorporated the navy from the pattern into all other aspects of the bedroom, including the bed frame, embroidery on the bedspread, paint swatches on the lamp, and textile of the chair.
The Pattern Mixing Modern Bedroom
Designers Pamela Black and Don Love are masterminds behind this eclectic modern bedroom, which features dozens of different colors, patterns, and materials. A combination of old and new, it's no surprise that this dwelling resides in Washington, D.C., a place based on history with an eye ever looking toward the future.
The Monochrome Cream Modern Bedroom
Although minimalist bedrooms often leave much up to the imagination, this monochrome Robert Passal design manages to be undeniably chic and romantic. From the bold painting and dazzling chandelier to the modern sleigh bed and perfectly translucent window treatments, this modern bedroom is nothing short of a vision.
The Serene Neutral Modern Bedroom
While quite neutral, this modern bedroom is notably more relaxed than other earthy palettes thanks to the way designer Melanie Pounds accented it with high-contrast chairs, a statement lumbar pillow, and a variety of natural textures. Plus, the ceiling millwork is impossible to ignore.
The Crisp Linen Modern Bedroom
Here's another example of a serene modern bedroom that manages to feel cozy despite the nearly all-white color scheme. With hints of rich cherry wood and large glass double doors allowing nature to serve as a contributor to the room's color palette, this Jupiter Island bedroom is nothing short of a beachy retreat.
The Sunny '70s-Inspired Modern Bedroom
Designer Ken Fulk is responsible for this chic modern bedroom. Inspired by Old Hollywood, the space features a floating wall for added privacy between the dressing room and closet, a statement oak and bronze bed, and textured sherpa ottomans. Combining textures, colors, and finishes, this modern bedroom serves as quite the luxurious-yet-laid back sunny escape.
The Moroccan-Inspired Modern Bedroom
Jewel tones, intricate headboard designs, wood ceiling beams, and natural fiber drapes give this Sea Island, Georgia guest bedroom an eye-catching Moroccan appeal.
The Minimalist MCM Bedroom
We might be well past the 1950s, however, MCM design features remain a mainstay in homes across the world. In this bedroom designed by Meredith McBrearty, you can see how the minimalist-chic design can transform a bedroom into a simple-yet-inviting space. And since the custom wood headboard features spacious built-in bedside tables—perfect for storing books, tablets, meditation devices and more—just imagine how cozy it would be to curl up within this modern bedroom.
The Texture-Rich Modern Bedroom
Houston-based designer Marie Flanigan designed this soothing space that's full of texture, natural light, and overall coziness. From the velvet pillows to the crisp sheets, this bedroom is sure to induce extra-sweet dreams at the end of a long day. It's a minimalist retreat that feels anything but sterile.
The Modern Guest Room
Katie Ridder's Hamptons home is filled of color and pattern, and this bedroom is no different. This space is full of quirks and creative touches, from the blue trim and the local artwork to richly colored bed linens, while still embodying a restful space. We love the mix of traditional and modern pieces that make this a one-of-a-kind room.
The Modern Artistic Bedroom
Ridder's main bedroom has ample space for lounging, and she shows artful restraint in the decoration of this room as well. She mixes a variety of large- and small-scale patterns with furniture from a variety of periods and modern artwork to create the perfect retreat for a creative like herself.
The Modern Victorian Bedroom
With the popularity of "grandmillennial" and "cottagecore" aesthetics, the Victorian era is seeing a major resurgence for the modern age. This Napa Valley bedroom designed by Ken Fulk features designs that honor the home's storied heritage while keeping it fresh, with a sense of turn-of-the-century glamour that's far from outdated.
The Antiques-Filled Modern Bedroom
While it may seem contrary, a modern bedroom can certainly be filled with a host of antiques, as shown here in Athena Calderone's Brooklyn home. Her historic townhome can be found all over social media, as it has inspired those of us who adore both trends and historic pieces, and her home blends both in perfect harmony. The home is designed with 90% vintage finds but feels perfectly suited for 2020 and beyond.
The Modern Feminine Bedroom
Maximalists, rejoice! Designer and tastemaker Danielle Rollins designed this playfully glamorous suite for the 2019 Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach. Luxurious touches abound throughout the room, from the velvet loveseat to the LED chandelier. You may never want to leave this joyful space.
The Modern Rustic Bedroom
Bobby McAlpine's Atlanta home is what we call a "mind-bending, style defining tour de force," and this bedroom is no exception. This masculine room is artfully layered from top to bottom with a custom Julian Chichester headboard and Revival Home stag sculpture to add visual interest.
The Modern Minimalist Bedroom
This light-drenched Parisian bedroom designed by Le Berre Vevaud is a delightful example of a modern, minimalist bedroom that's far from boring. From the immaculately restored floors (this loft was built in the 19th century) to the Cini Boeri accent chair, this space exudes the elegant simplicity the French are renowned for.
The Modern Seaside Bedroom
Miles Redd designed this Bahamian retreat with a bold take on the classic sun-drench color palette. An Iskel wallcovering, a modern seating area, and photography by German photographer Rafael Neff keep this space classically coastal with an updated flair.
