Bedroom in a modern style - comfortable minimalism

The modern style in the interior is called "cozy minimalism." And such a designation of the concept of decorating residential premises appeared for a reason - the love of spacious and bright rooms, simplicity in arranging space with furniture and an almost complete absence of decor, inspired by minimalism, received a new embodiment. Unlike minimalism in its purest form, modern style advocates the creation of the most comfortable interior that will not “tear off” the owner, but will become a functional, practical, convenient and at the same time outwardly attractive place to stay. Better less, but better - such a slogan can also be applied to modern style. High-quality materials, a tendency to naturalness, the use of original designer furniture models and a few decor - weight this allows you to create a simple outwardly, but attractive in its functionality and comfort.

The modern style is flexible enough in its manifestation - there are no clear dogmas and taboos. It is enough to understand the main idea, the concept of space design and be able to effectively “settle” it in your home. It’s easy to catch the current trend, this trend practically does not hinder the imagination of designers - it can be easily combined with other stylistic trends: high-tech stele, art deco, loft and even modern.

The main features of the style, which are not clear rules for following, but demonstrate a certain basis for creating an interior in a modern style:

• simple shapes and clear lines;
• a lot of light and space;
• only practical decor, a minimum of accessories;
• windows without drapery, floors without carpets;
• often a monophonic solution for decorating and choosing upholstery for furniture;
• monochrome colors, neutral solutions in choosing a palette;
• accents in the form of bright, colorful spots;
• Typically, the use of open plan;
• the use of gloss, mirrors, chrome surfaces for visual expansion of space;
• a reference to fashion trends, the use of designer furniture, original lighting fixtures, and works of modern art.

For the interior of the bedroom to which this publication is devoted, many of the commonly used techniques for space design in a modern style are not suitable. For example, it is difficult to imagine a sleeping room located on the south side of the building, without dense curtains on the windows. Also, the bedroom with bare floors in the absence of a heating system becomes uncomfortable. For our climatic latitudes, peculiarities of mentality and way of life, many features of the style are interpreted according to needs, modified without prejudice to the general concept of modern stylistics.

Designers and homeowners love modern style for its ability to transform quickly. In the presence of a neutral color palette, plain decoration and a basic set of furniture, changing the image of the room is not difficult. Adding a beautiful and original chandelier, choosing one bright piece of furniture or simply placing several variegated cushions in the recreation area, you can get a completely different atmosphere of the room, a different character of the space design.

Modern bedroom decoration

Ceiling

A perfectly flat, snow-white ceiling is a universal design option for any interior style. Whether you will use suspended or suspended structures to achieve this effect and use plaster staining is not important. The main thing is that the snow-white plane creates the effect of a bright and spacious room, visually increasing it.

The snow-white ceiling with light stucco molding around the perimeter and, possibly, in the center, around the luxurious chandelier is a feature of the modern interior. This design of the ceiling coating is perfectly combined with a simple, plain wall decoration and floor lining using a wooden board or effectively imitating its laminate.

Another option for decorating the ceiling is to use not stucco molding, but its image. Photo printing on a stretch ceiling in bright colors can be the highlight of your neutral bedroom interior.

Walls

Manifestation of luxury for modern style is not a priority. Therefore, if you want to use expensive embossed wallpapers, complementing them with fancy moldings and reliefs, stop using this finish for only one accent wall, leaving the rest of the plane in a solid, neutral design.

Modern style advocates the use of neutral colors in the decoration of the premises. That is why all shades of gray are so popular - from the color of wet asphalt to silver, giving the interior a calm elegance and restraint.

The use of such a design technique as an accent wall is relevant to this day. Various means can be used to highlight one of the planes of the room - from simple painting to a color different from the rest of the finish, to the use of expensive wallpaper with a geometric pattern, surface cladding with wall plates (most often wooden) or decorative plaster.

The most widely used accent walls in a monophonic version. The simplicity of decoration and the subsequent combinatorics with pieces of furniture and a few decor attract both designers and their customers.

If you decide to use the print as an accent to highlight one of the walls of the bedroom, then opt for a geometric pattern or abstraction. For example, the strip again began to be used to visually expand the space. The horizontal strip visually increases the width of the room, the vertical - its height.

The use of floral motifs in the decoration of one of the walls of the bedroom is a bold, but justified step. If such a colorful and motley finish of the accent wall is used, the rest of the surface and even the furniture should be done in a neutral, light palette. It is easiest to “support” the color scheme of the accent wall by coloring the textiles while decorating a sleeping place or window openings.

A snow-white bedroom will always be in trend. Therefore, the use of white to finish not only the ceiling, but also the walls will be an excellent base for building the entire interior. Snow-white walls of the bedroom - a clean sheet for the formation of the decor, a background for any furniture and decor. But a completely white bedroom is an extreme. Contrary to the expectations of a calm, peaceful environment, you can get a strong association with a sterile operating room. Just a couple of paintings or large family photos on the walls will dilute the snow-white idyll and create an accent so necessary for our eyes. If you are worried about the brightness of the artwork, then hang it above the head of the bed, paintings in pastel colors can be placed on other walls. It all depends on what you would like to see first when you wake up and last before going to bed.

Imitation of brickwork or painting in a light tone of a real wall that has not been plastered is one of the design techniques that has remained relevant for many years. A partial brutality of the loft style will be brought into your modern interior even by the partial use of brickwork - behind the head of the bed or one of the perpendicular walls.

The play of contrasts is not alien to modern style when forming the atmosphere of a sleeping room. Just a couple of contrasting colors can form the basis for the interior. Of course, in most cases, a light tone is chosen for wall decoration, and pieces of furniture and decor act as dark spots. But the opposite version of combinatorics is possible in rooms with a large and medium area. The interior with dark walls looks not only in contrast, but even a little dramatic, mysterious.

Flooring

Natural wood is an ideal option for flooring in the interior of any style and modern was no exception. A floor board or parquet is perfectly combined with any type of wall decoration, and looks great with most variations on the theme of furniture selection. But natural wood is not affordable for every homeowner, so spectacular counterparts will be the best alternative. The modern laminate perfectly imitates various types of wood, is easy to install and quite affordable in cost.

Sleeping space becomes more comfortable if carpet is laid on top of the floor. Soft nap will warm your bare feet at bedtime and give pleasant sensations immediately upon waking up in the morning. But forget about carpets with oriental motifs - a monophonic carpet with a long pile or a geometric pattern, but in combination with a monophonic finish.

Furniture for comfortable and practical use

Bed

In whatever style the bedroom is decorated, the bed always acts as a central and coordinating element of the interior. The sleeper in modern style is as magnificent as it is simply decorated. Simple shapes and clear lines, a minimum of decorative details and maximum comfort.

A large, reliable bed is the basis for the formation of the entire decor of the bedroom. The choice of additional furniture, textiles for windows and carpeting (if any will be present in the room) will depend on the design, the material of manufacture and the method of draping the berth. The interior is incredibly balanced, harmonious, if the bed and all other furniture are made in one key. But the same material, design and color choice - not a dogma for the arrangement of sleeping space with furniture.

Storage systems

A modern bedroom without storage systems is available only to those who have the opportunity to allocate a separate room for the dressing room. Everyone else has to solve the problem of placing spacious cabinets for an extensive wardrobe. Modern style advocates the use of built-in storage systems. Sliding wardrobes with matte, glossy and mirrored doors (depending on the chosen surface finish and the rest of the furniture) are the best option for placing a large number of clothes and shoes with minimal expenditure of useful sleeping space.

One of the options for organizing storage systems in rooms with a small area in which there is no way to build a large sliding wardrobe is small modules with smooth facades. Such lockers can be hung over the bed, if the ceiling height allows and set at the foot of the bed, leaving the space necessary for easy access.

Another way to organize storage systems in a modern bedroom is to build cabinets around the head of the bed. With this approach, the berth is in a shallow niche, which gives the zone of sleep and rest more comfort and coziness. And the cabinets built around the sleeping area, even with shallow depth, will become a spacious wardrobe storage due to the large coverage area.

Additional furniture

For additional furniture, it is customary to include bedside tables, armchairs and small sofas in the recreation area, furniture for organizing a workplace, stand tables and other interior items. It is difficult to do without bedside tables, but in modern style they are increasingly being replaced by lightweight table designs of various modifications. Original coasters, which do not take up much space and do not burden the image of the bedroom, often act as accent elements of the interior.

For many owners of apartments and private houses, the bedroom is a multifunctional room. In the room you can not only relax and gain strength, but also work. A mini-office in a sleeping space is a fairly common occurrence. To organize a workplace, you need a small amount of usable bedroom space - modern computers can easily be placed on shallow consoles.

Depending on whether you choose the organization of the work area as a color accent or prefer the desk to support a common color palette, this functional segment can be designed in various ways. To save space and increase the functionality of the room, often a desk is combined with a dressing room. By installing such a fraction near one of the sides of the bed, you free yourself from the need to purchase one of the bedside tables or coasters.

It is additional furniture that can become a difficult expressive element of the interior, and its color accent. For example, in a bedroom decorated exclusively in neutral colors, a bright armchair by the window or an ottoman at the foot of the bed will bring originality to the interior, and will cheer up the image of the entire room.

Decor and Accessories - Metered Use

Lighting

If the decoration of the room, its furniture and a few decor are made in a neutral color palette using the simplest forms and lines, any interior design item becomes a highlight. Lighting may be used as such an accent. In the sleeping space you can not do without a central chandelier as the main source of artificial lighting and table lamps or wall sconces - as additions located on both sides of the bed.

The original, beautiful chandelier with many decorative elements in the bedroom, decorated in a modern style, will most likely be the only luxurious element. "Cozy minimalism" is inclined to the use of functional elements as a decor - lighting fixtures, a mirror, bedding textiles.

Textile

Modern style tends to use non-draped windows, so as not to impede the penetration of sunlight and visually increase the space. But in the bedroom it is difficult to do without dense curtains that can not only create a more comfortable atmosphere, decorate window openings, but also perform its main function - to protect the room from natural light at a time when the owners need it. In modern style, curtains are most often presented in plain variations of dense and high-quality fabrics.

Printed curtains (classic or roller) can be used in modern style only in combination with a plain and preferably light, neutral wall decoration. Most often, such a performance of window drapery becomes the only bright or colorful spot of the interior.

Textile design of a berth can become a color or textured accent of the interior, executed in neutral colors. Against the background of light decoration and furnishings, bright decorative pillows and rollers, “thoughts” or just a bedspread will create the necessary emphasis, add variety to the color scheme of the room. In addition, it is easiest to change the image of the bedroom with the help of just such additional elements - sewing covers for decorative pillows will cost inexpensively.

Wall decor

Decorating the bedroom in a modern style is an ideal option for demonstrating works of art, various posters and panels.Plain wall decoration in neutral tones allows you to most effectively present bright and colorful artwork, photos or tapestries. But the main thing in this matter is not to overdo it. Let it be better on the wall in your bedroom to hang one colorful picture of a large size or a single composition presented in several parts (triptych, for example).
