The Top Bedroom Decor Trends of 2024
Experts say we'll see more solid colors, mixed design styles, and bold accent walls in the coming year
Solid Color Textiles
Interior designer Vanessa DeLeon predicts that solid colors like burgundy, white, royal blue, black, and primary colors will energize bedrooms in 2024. To create a lively rhythm, she suggests incorporating colorful pillows and throws in various textures. Plush velvet and fabrics can elevate the cocooning effect of a bedroom. To balance the look, she recommends bringing in a white comforter with bright or warm undertones. If white isn't your preference, opt for lighter linens than the boldest color in your bedroom to soften the palette.

Mixed Design Styles
Matching every wall in color and style is no longer necessary. A trending approach is to build a collected aesthetic, especially for partners with different design styles. Varying each wall to highlight a unique design element can create visual interest. For example, you can display art on one wall while wallpapering the adjacent area floor-to-ceiling. Interior designer Vanessa DeLeon suggests mixing different design themes like bohemian with minimalism to add even more depth. However, she advises maintaining interior harmony and building a color scheme around the chosen design element or print.

Natural Lighting
The focus on bespoke lighting will transform bedrooms into zen retreats. In 2024, there will be a shift towards natural lighting that showcases the natural edges of materials like stone or artful arrangements of layers and textures. Industrial designer Grace Denniston suggests using on-trend materials such as alabaster, jute, leather, shells, and wood. Light fixtures with neutral tones can harmonize with modern or traditional settings. The creamy white undertones of alabaster and Capiz shells or the earthy tan and brown of abaca and rattan add softness and balance to any room.

Barbiecore
The Barbiecore trend, characterized by pink color schemes paired with bright, plush, and shiny elements, continues to be popular in 2024. Interior designer Vanessa DeLeon suggests carefully choosing color companions like greys, blacks, and lighter tones of green to enhance pink's beauty. The Barbiecore trend evokes feelings of empowerment, happiness, and luxury. By combining pink with complementary colors, you can create an idyllic bedroom scene.

Textured Accent Walls
If you want to create a focal point without committing to a bold color, an accent wall can do the trick. Whether it's through paint, wallpaper, or molding, interior designer Taniya Nayak recommends exploring patterns and motifs that speak to you. Stripes, floral designs, or plaids are all options to consider. Additionally, incorporating millwork like wainscoting can create a subtle design statement. Using a jumping-off point in the room, such as a piece of art or bedding, as inspiration for the paint color can help create cohesion.
