There are so many ways to decorate a bedroom, and whether you plan on mixing motifs or committing to just one aesthetic, the first step is simple: peruse a bunch of different bedroom styles. If your goal is to pull pieces from different design movements and effortlessly blend them together, looking at bedroom styles will help you understand your options. And if your aim is to go all-in on one aesthetic, you’ll find the blueprint for pulling it off. 

Of course, reading up on bedroom styles is one thing—and actually seeing those aesthetics executed is another. So we’ve rounded up some of the most striking mono-style bedrooms we could find. Each of these bedrooms nods to an era, a design movement, or a visual motif, and demonstrates exactly how to pull off that bedroom style in your space.

01 Traditional

Traditional style is exactly as it sounds: simple, classic, and probably something you saw a lot of growing up. The key to pulling off the style is to invest in genuinely traditional pieces. Pair a sturdy wooden bed with a simple white quilt, and if you have the space, bring some antique furniture into your bedroom, too.

02 Minimalist

There’s nothing wrong with keeping it simple. And since the minimalist design movement is all about intentionality, it should leave you with a space that feels as good as it looks.

Focus on scoring the pieces you need like a sturdy bed, some cozy bedding, a nightstand, and a bedside lamp. Keep your aesthetic clean by favoring sleek lines and neutral colors wherever you can.

03 Art Deco

The Art Deco period (of the early 1900s) was bold, playful, and luxurious. So if you’re looking for a bedroom that makes a statement, the Art Deco movement has you covered.

Favor rich colors, bold prints, shiny metals, and luxurious finishing touches. Could you put up some playful wallpaper, hang a grandiose light fixture, and invest in some hotel-worthy bedding?

04 Industrial

If your bedroom is lined with cement ceilings, wall-to-wall windows, and exposed pipes, you’re already well on your way to an industrial space. The industrial aesthetic is simultaneously sleek and rugged—taking cues from warehouses, factories, and other industrial buildings.

05 Southwestern

Filled with eye-catching prints, warm wood accents, and desert-friendly plants, Southwestern décor offers a modern take on rustic style. Set the scene with some sleek wood furniture, layer in some printed pillows and rugs, and finish off your space with some classically “Wild West” accents—like a cowhide rug, a longhorn skull, or a cactus.

06 Eclectic

Can’t settle on just one style, palette, or print? Eclectic décor may be right up your alley. The design style celebrates the art of mixing and matching, so pair contrasting colors, stock up on prints, and pull pieces from different eras. The approach is sure to leave you with a bedroom that looks dynamic, textured, and delightfully fun.

07 Farmhouse

Farmhouse style is everyone’s favorite way to make a space feel homey, and it’s sure to leave you with a cozy bedroom. Keep your colors soft, your prints simple, and your materials natural.

08 Scandinavian

Scandinavian design is known for its sleek shapes, cozy feel, and minimalist approach to décor—three features that make for a truly lovely bedroom. Since the aesthetic is so pared-down, it’s pretty easy to pull off.

Start by stocking up on cozy bedding and plush throw pillows. Then, layer in a few sleek accents like small ceramics and striking lamps.

09 Midcentury Modern

Midcentury modern design has become a fan-favorite, and it’s not hard to see why. The design movement—which dates back to the mid-1900s—was all about marrying function with form. So stock up on sleek versions of the furniture you need, keep décor to a minimum, and favor materials that own what they are.
