Modern Bedroom Decoration

Grand Bedroom

Arched windows, curlicue furniture, and a swirled Oriental rug give this room plenty of interest. But the real stars of the show are the upholstered walls, which are covered in deep-cream silk fabric, tufted into harlequin diamonds and accented with cotton ribbons and decorative gold nailheads.

Hip to Be Square Bedroom

A vaulted ceiling adds visual appeal, but it can make a room less inviting. In this voluminous space, a low-slung bed serves as an anchor. A grid of upholstered squares above the bed and long curtain panels bring the space into scale, while earth-tone accessories add warmth.

Historically Handsome

An abundance of natural light, which tumbles in from windows gracing three sides of the room, helps this master bedroom feel larger than its actual footprint. White walls and a largely neutral color palette also add to the voluminous feeling.

In the Bedroom

A wall of draperies calls attention to the focal-point bed with an extra-high headboard, plump pillows, and striking geometric throw. Nearby, matching contemporary lamps sit atop similar, yet different, night tables in dark wood.

In the Trees

Pale yellow walls set off spring green valances and pillows in this master suite. The windows on either side of the bed are small, but have been given a larger scale with draperies of cotton damask that extend on the sides.

Italian Style

Soft striped wallpaper, nature-inspired fabrics, and a medley of stained and painted wood finishes give this bedroom its European style. In keeping with the lush yet tailored aesthetic, draperies made of a sumptuous peony-and-bird print are topped with painted pelmets.

Lap of Luxury Bedroom

Rich shades of gold and red create a warm, upscale look in this master suite. A supple leather headboard, linen Roman shades, layers of soft bedding, and a pair of upholstered slipper chairs add to the look of luxury.

Masterfully Modern

A spacious master suite requires smart furniture choices. In this large room with a tall tray ceiling, the upholstered bed, bedside tables, and desk at the footboard are all the correct scale for the room. Tall draperies also help minimize the room's volume.

Modern Amenities Bedroom

Pump up a room's personality with contemporary styling. Keep the look sophisticated with clean lines and graphic shapes. Use an unusual color pairing, such as orange and red or lime and black, and limit accessories to a few interesting pieces displayed in an unexpected way.

Old Meets New

In this master suite, classic styling sets the tone while unexpected elements add a shock of the new. Original woodwork, heavy draperies, and an Empire-style headboard are traditional touches. A shag rug, Asian-inspired prints, and mirrored tables update the look.
