I am all about a cozy bedroom where you want to snuggle in and get a really good nights sleep, or a fabulous nap! I want to explore what is hot and new in bedroom trends for 2025 to give you that updated look and cozy feel.
Open floor plans have been popular for well over a decade and with that comes the need for a cozy refuge from the living spaces. Our bedrooms have become that refuge.
What we need in our bedrooms is different from one person to another. All bedrooms are different in size too.
One thing is for certain, there are great ways to decorate your bedroom for you and your home. Here are some amazing ideas that you can do no matter what size your bedroom is.

2025 Bedroom Design Trends
Post Covid we are all looking for a home that is calming and cozy. We need a space that is our getaway from the stresses of daily life. Here are some great ways to get that home you want.
Statement Headboards
One great way to create a space that is all your own is to create a statement headboard. This can be a wood headboard like I created for my bedroom and my daughter’s bedroom, or a fabulous upholstered headboard that has lots of texture.
Whatever way you decide to go be sure it’s all about you and what you love.
This is my herringbone headboard that I created for my bedroom. I absolutely love the herringbone pattern so this fits my personality perfectly.
I created this headboard for my daughter. She likes a more modern and simplistic style so this headboard was perfect.
This gorgeous tufted headboard from Wayfair adds a lot of drama, from the tufting to the studs on the sides.
I also love the way it wraps around on the edges kind of like wrapping you in a warm hug. This screams cozy on all levels.
Hidden Technology
We all love technology and the wonderful things it brings to our lives but not all technology is nice to look at. Sometimes it can be quite an eye sore.
How do we incorporate this amazing technology into our bedrooms without having to look at it? Try hidden technology! It gives you the best of both worlds!
Some people love having tv’s in their bedroom, others hate it. This is a great option to hide the tv but still have one available should you want it.
Accent Walls
Accent walls have been so popular for a long time. You can create an accent wall with paint, wallpaper, and decorative molding. Really the sky is the limit here!
This is an accent wall I created in my guest bedroom with a stencil and white sharpie paint pen. It was very easy to do and extremely inexpensive!
This beautiful accent wall was made from wallpaper! It really brings you attention to the headboard wall and I love the geometric pattern.
Trending Bedroom Colors
There are two different ways to go here. There are two trends right now, neutral and dark.
Neutral spaces are great because it’s very calming. This trend has been around a while but it’s still going strong.
Dark and moody is new and popular, let me telll you why. Having a dark bedroom is like wrapping you in a hug. It’s calming and great for those of us who have trouble falling asleep (that’s me!).
Does it matter what dark color you use? No it doesn’t. I used Sherwin Williams Smokey Blue which is dark but not super dark. Other people go full on black. Whatever suits you go for it.
This is my master bedroom. I have my statement piece of a herringbone headboard, which also adds texture, and dark walls.
Mismatched Furniture
Buying a whole room of matching furniture is boring. To create something special use mismatched pieces to create a designer look.
You don’t have to go crazy here. Maybe a nightstand on one side of the bed and a desk on the other.
If you don’t want them to be too mismatched make sure they have the same color or wood tone. This gives you the mismatched look but it’s easy on the eye.
Bold Lighting Choices
I always say that it’s the little things that make a room look well put together. Lighting is definitely one of those things.
My bedroom had an old ceiling fan straight out of 1985 and it didn’t have a light. Our bedroom was very dark, and we never used the fan.
I swapped it out for a lantern chandelier but opted for a silver finish for a touch more of a modern look.
Biolithic Design
What the heck is this? Let me tell you.
The whole idea behind biolithic design is to connect people to nature. Bringing in elements such as plants, natural wood tones, and organic textures evokes nature’s calming influence in the bedroom.
Greenery such as plants and trees not only gives you the feel of the outdoors but also helps clean the air you breathe.
The textiles in the room can also help you feel more connected to nature. Think cotton, linen, jute, and seagrass.
A Mix of Old and New
This is a fabulous way of creating a space that is special. Mixing new furniture with older pieces gives the bedroom a designer look but also gives it a feel of nostalgia.
I love to get pieces of furniture from my family and use them in my home. They aren’t super expensive but knowing that it once stood in my grandmother’s home is very special to me.
You can also find great antique pieces on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and yard sales.
This gorgeous bedroom has a modern bed with updated bedding and an antique side table and what looks to be a vintage rug. They work perfectly together!
Floral And Botanical Prints
Florals used to be very hot about 20-30 years ago but they have made a huge comeback. But the difference is the size of the print that is trending now is much larger.
There are a lot of ways you can use floral and botanical prints in your bedroom. A great place to start is in your bedding. Another is in other textiles such as throw pillows and window treatments.
My favorite place to see a floral print would be on wallpaper. You can use wallpaper to create an accent wall with a botanical print. That is combining two of the trends into one place!
Statement Pieces
Everyone loves a good statement piece. This is typically a piece of furniture such as a headboard or unique chair.
But statement pieces don’t have to be furniture. They can be an amazing light fixture or chandelier, bedside table lamps, artwork on the walls, really it could be anything.
It just needs to be something that stands out and draws the eye, making you say WOW!
The statement piece in my bedroom is for sure my headboard. I built this headboard and I absolutely love the herringbone design.
Lots of Texture
Texture is sometimes hard for people to comprehend when it comes to decorating. Put simply, texture is how something feels or what your mind perceives as feeling.
For example, it can be a sisal rug on the floor or a crochet hanging plant holder. It can be chenille throw pillows or a piece of furniture with woven front drawers.
In rooms that are very neutral or monochromatic (meaning they are decorated all in the same color) texture is key to creating interest.
