This style of interior is also called contemporary. It combines traditional forms and fresh solutions. Modern style is distinguished by the following characteristics:
- clear lines and shapes in decoration, furniture, decor;
- maximum of daylight and artificial light;
- practical, suitable decor;
- a lot of free space;
- restrained natural shades with bright accents;
- highlighted texture of coatings (wood, concrete, chrome).
What colors are better to decorate the bedroom?
We have already noted the importance of a calm color scheme for the bedroom interior in a modern style, now we will analyze in more detail.
You can choose a monochrome palette and play with textures or show the character of the room with bright colors. For the design of the bedroom, both light and dark dramatic shades are suitable - it all depends on the size of the room and your preferences.
White is always getting right on target. But a completely white bedroom in a modern style looks faceless. If you choose this color for decoration, complement it with a colorful decor.
Gray is another basic color. But remember - it is from the cold spectrum, which means it will only fit into a bedroom with southern windows.
Beige is a replacement for gray for northern rooms. It will make the bedroom interior cozy.
If you plan to combine several shades, the base should be as calm as possible. Use the rest dosed and choose pastel, muted tones.
Be careful with pure peach, pink, burgundy and emerald flowers - they are already outdated and can ruin a bedroom in a modern style. But yellow, blue and terracotta will do just fine.
What finish to use?
Floor. The floor covering, which can not be lost in the design of the bedroom - natural wood or its imitation. They are universal and combine with any shades, they will be appropriate even in minimalist interiors.
Natural parquet is warmer and more durable, but in order to save it, you can replace it with a laminate. This affordable, easy to install and wear-resistant finishing material is perfect for different versions of modern bedrooms.
If you are not comfortable, add a carpet. Plain models, geometric patterns or oriental motifs are suitable.
Walls. Forget about luxury and turn your eyes to restraint and simplicity. Simple plain wallpaper or painting is the most suitable option. For decoration, decorative plaster, brickwork, concrete or wood panels or their imitation are also used.
Equally important is the choice of colors. As the main one, use light (white, beige, gray) or dark (black, chocolate, wet asphalt). For accent walls, muted or dirty shades are suitable.
If for an accent wall you are planning a photo wallpaper or drawing, let it be an abstraction or geometry.
Ceiling. You will have to think the least about this part of the bedroom - there is nothing better than a classic white ceiling! Paint it or order a tensioner. It is easy to hide under the film not only flaws of alignment and seams between the plates, but also wiring.
What furniture is right for you?
Before buying any furniture, remember the general characteristics: straight, clear lines, simple, modern design, minimalism.
Any bedroom in a modern style begins with a choice of beds. It should be comfortable, but at the same time concise. Instead of a wrought and fancy headboard, choose a soft one. The main design element will be bedding and other textiles, and the fabric headboard will become part of this composition.
Replace bulky bedside tables with light coasters or tables at the edges, so you can save visual space.
Storage systems should also be as simple as possible. The ideal solution is a sliding wardrobe with glossy, mirror or textured facades. If you need a chest of drawers - choose rectangular models without decor.
If the area does not allow you to place a berth and a large closet, combine them. Boxes under the bed are used for storing bedding and non-seasonal clothes, pencil cases on the sides of the bed are suitable as the main wardrobe system. If you hang a narrow elongated wardrobe between them, the bed will be in a niche, and storage space will be increased.
Often, bedroom designs also provide room for a work area. Organize a table on the windowsill or put it near the window, if the sun's rays do not interfere with your work. In sunny bedrooms, it is better to place a table against the wall, facing the window opening. If the table fits only light and compact, then the chair can be both classic and nondescript, and accent.
Equipping the makeup zone, abandon the overall dressing table in favor of compact high-tech consoles. Install a rectangular or square mirror above it and take care of high-quality illumination.
We choose stylish textiles and curtains
They love textiles in a modern style, so you should choose it with a special passion. In addition, it will now be easy to change the design of the bedroom: new pillow covers, plaid and curtains - the interior will change beyond recognition!
Start with a large carpet or two small ones on each side to make it more pleasant to get up in the morning.
Blankets, bedspreads and decorative pillows will decorate the main character of the room - the bed. Place 3-5 extra bright pillows at the head of the bed, cover the bed with a coverlet slightly larger than the size of the mattress, and throw a knitted blanket on top - comfort is guaranteed!
Not a bedroom can do without curtains. After all, they carry not only a decorative, but also a protective function, allowing you not to wake up with the sunrise. Classical curtains for a modern style - plain and dense. Do not complicate the silhouette with draperies, let them simply flow down along the windows.
We select beautiful decor and accessories
Decorative objects emphasize the taste of the owners and make the space special. If you chose neutral tones for decoration and furniture, allow yourself a prank in the decoration! Abstract images, photographs and even carpets will serve as a wonderful complement to the interior.
In small bedrooms they use mirrors, they will also correct the wrong layout of the room. A plant pot or an unusual lamp can also become an art object.
The bedroom in a modern style dictates the rule "less, but better." Do not overdo the decor and do not overwhelm your room with a large number of elements. 1-2 paintings and a couple of additional accessories are enough.
Lighting Recommendations
The main lighting fixture in the design of the bedroom is a central chandelier. For small bedrooms, laconic and almost imperceptible lamps are suitable, for large ones - large ones hanging from the ceiling.
The second area that needs to be highlighted is the bed. Floor lamps, lamps on side tables or sconces can also look simple or catchy.
If the bedroom has a dressing or work desk, consider lighting for it.
An interesting effect can be achieved by highlighting a dark texture surface. For example, the light perfectly emphasizes the texture of the wooden, brick or concrete part of the wall. You can enjoy this effect every night before going to bed, because such a dim light is the best accompaniment for relaxation.
