The Height of Luxury
Design Inspiration to Elevate Your Bedroom
Nothing beats sinking into a plush comforter and silky sheets, especially after a long day of work and play. We spend so much of our time in the bedroom—you might be surprised to learn that we spend onethird of our lives in this room sleeping. So why not design a space that blends opulence and serenity to create a comforting ambiance? Learn from the design experts as we explore these top-six luxury designer bedrooms.
THE BOUTIQUE HOTEL
Kicking it off with boutique hotel style, infuse your own style into your bedroom design. Whether your design tastes err on the side of traditional or you’re looking to incorporate a contemporary look into your bedroom, be sure to curate details that match your style preferences. Take a nod from designer Louis Duncan-He with a bold accent wall, chic statement lighting, and matching nightstands. Committing to an eclectic art-deco style or even a monochromatic look can elevate your space, giving it a boutique hotel feel. Use crisp white linens, plush carpeting, fluffy white comforters, and soft shades of creams and ivories to easily pull together a polished, airy look.
COZY COMFORT
If you’re looking to design a space that caters to your homebody qualities, consider a cozy bedroom design. To achieve this relaxed style, start by selecting the perfect soft carpet or cozy area rug to sink your feet into each morning. Then look to your bedding—don’t be afraid to splurge on high thread count sheets, plush duvets, and decorative pillows. Opt for soft materials and warm decorative elements, like designer Laura Hay does here with an earthy color palette and wood tones to create a cozy, comfortable bedroom you will be eager to come home to.
THE SERENE SPACE
If you love self-care and wellness trends, you’ll appreciate this tranquil bedroom design by Knight Varga Interiors. Recreate this serene look in your bedroom by incorporating elements of relaxation into your design, such as a comfortable seating area, cozy reading nook, or fireplace. This design emphasizes decluttered spaces using soft color palettes and organized storage solutions. Soft lighting and electronic-free zones tied with natural elements, such as the white oak flooring, achieve a peaceful ambiance.
THE VELVET-TONED SUITE
Bring a moody vibe to your bedroom like designer Michelle Berwick does in her design with a touch of soft pastels, jewel tones, and romantic accents. Explore luxurious materials like silk, velvet, cashmere, and exotic woods that add richness and texture to the space. Consider adding a patterned area rug under the foot of the bed for added color and comfort. Indulge in jewel-toned walls, velvet upholstery, velvet curtains, and drapes paired with complementary textures like satin to complete a velvet-toned suite.
TOUCH OF GLAM
Looking to impress with a touch of glam in the bedroom? Explore the role of accessories, such as luxurious rugs, ornate mirrors, and carefully curated collections, to elevate the overall aesthetic. Take inspiration from Jennifer Backstein’s glamorous bedroom design, and invest in sweeping headboards, gorgeous vanities, and plush ottomans with a touch of vintage charm. Emphasize architectural features, such as vaulted ceilings, custom moldings, and statement windows, to contribute to the overall luxurious ambiance.
THE WARM MINIMALIST
For those who prefer a simple, clean design, create a warm minimalist bedroom, like Michelle Berwick’s bedroom refresh. When taking a minimalist approach, consider spatial planning, layout, and the importance of natural light. Keep the bedroom clutter-free by using storage solutions like bins, baskets, or under-bed storage to hide nonessentials. Remove unnecessary items and furniture that may create visual noise, and emphasize straight lines with simple patterned area rugs and clean hardwood floors to promote a sense of calm in your bedroom.
