Modern Bedroom Design Ideas

Modern design isn't really modern at all. In fact, it was originally called modern design way back at the beginning of the 1900s. Started in Germany, it has progressed into its own form of design and is now popular all over the world. Create your own modern design themed bedroom using the following tips and techniques for this bedroom design you'll be sure to love for years to come.

Mixing it Up

While most modern design themes incorporate neutral colors like black, brown, tan and white, adding a splash of color can help to accent the more negative areas that would otherwise go unnoticed in the design. Mix up the colors by providing a bold shot of color on the wall behind the bed headboard for accent. Soften the vibe by using more neutral colors on the bedspread and sheets to even out the flow of color.

Prints

Add texture and style to your walls with a classic print. Asian prints work particularly well with modern bedroom designs and help compliment a modern theme without turning it into an Asian theme. Wallpaper prints as well as small vinyl graphics can help to accent areas of the space too. If you're going to use prints around the entire bedroom, stay within the same color palette. You can also mix and match prints to help create an even and sophisticated look.

Remaining Neutral

In keeping with a modern design theme, keep the majority of the colors in the room neutral. Since many bedrooms function as both a living and sleeping quarters, the room has to pull double duty. Choose a rich color you're going to love, but keep it neutral. You can still make colors lively; however, by keeping them more natural (like choosing terra cotta over orange) you can still make the room vibrant and alive without going overboard and changing the design theme all together.

Keep the Color Temperature Cool

When using modern design as a theme for decorating a bedroom, it's best to use colors that are on the cooler side of the spectrum. Deep blues, dark turquoise and forest greens all scream color, but in a subtle way that modern design themes fit in with perfectly. If you're going to add more than just a splash of color to your design, do it with cooler colors and you can't go wrong. Use warmer colors like reds and yellows sparingly and for accents only.

Nature's Own

Just because the design for your bedroom is modern doesn't mean that you don't want to use wood, steel or stone in the design. These natural materials not only compliment a modern design theme but they also help to break up the smooth and solid lines that tend to make modern design ideas feel old and tired.
