We all deserve a dreamy bedroom. Someplace that’s soft, cozy and relaxing, and will promote a good night’s sleep with calming colors and décor. A bedroom should also be personal. It should reflect your style. Your memories. Dare we say, your dreams.

If your bedroom is lacking in these areas, or has just grown a little stale, it’s time to take a cue from the calendar and flip over a new page. Need inspiration? Here are some popular bedroom design trends in 2021 that are aimed at helping you create an organized oasis where you can rest your head, and still leave space for your unique design personality.

Keep it Neutral

When it comes to choosing colors for your bedroom, the traditional guidance is to go with light and soothing colors that will lend a gentle and relaxing ambiance to your space. Whites and neutrals are popular bedroom colors, helping to create a spa-like atmosphere that you can retreat to at the end of every day. In 2021, white continues to be a popular bedroom choice, often paired with wood. A white and wood bedroom can look clean and natural. It’s classic, yet feels current in 2021. Start with white walls and add wood furniture. There are many choices, from wood sleigh beds to modern wood beds. Pair yours with crisp white bedding for a clean, yet appealing look.

Here’s how to apply neutrals in your bedroom, without waking up on the bland side of the bed:

• Textures, textures, textures! Bring variety to your neutral design with sumptuous bedding, medium or high pile rugs, and airy window treatments.
• Upholstered bed: An upholstered bed also adds texture to your room, and it can bring a soft and luxurious feel to your neutral space.
• Add pops of color. Blues and greens can carry color into your room, without taking away from the peaceful atmosphere you’ve carefully curated. Add your favorite shades through accessories and décor, including throw pillows and wall art.
• A hint of shine. A sparkling detail can add a touch of glam to your room, while still complementing your clean retreat. Consider a wall mirror, metallic lamp or a set of mixed media nightstands.

Or Go Bright

Not into white and light design palettes? Your bedroom should be your personal retreat and, as such, it should be a place that’s specifically suited to your favorite colors, patterns and more. If you love color, go ahead and go bright. Go bold. Go patterned! Pops of yellows, oranges and shades of red can bring cheer to your morning and help energize you for your day. When using bright colors in a bedroom, you may want to stick to décor, including bedding, wall art and other home accessories. A little bit of a bold color can go a long way, and these items are easy to switch out as you feel the need for a change. Instead of changing your sheets and duvet, try adding some bright throw pillows on top of your current comforter. Drape a patterned throw blanket at the end of your bed. Echo the same bright shades throughout your room with a new piece of wall art or two. Ready for a bigger change? Try bringing in your favorite colors with a new accent chair, creating a bright nook in a corner of your master suite. You can also bring in a multi-colored area rug, which will help animate your room but also add the softness of the textured piece.

The hottest (bright) bedroom colors for 2021:

• Spicy yellows – look away from sunshine yellow, and towards mustard yellows and other shades with a hint of orange.
• Berry reds – red can be a difficult shade for a bedroom. However, colors such as raspberry offer a romantic and surprisingly versatile alternative to fire truck red.
• Jewel greens – saturated jewel tones such as emerald green are rich and ripe for 2021, yet these classic shades will never look out of date in your bedroom.

Think Storage

It may not be the sexiest aspect of design, but when it comes to creating a functional and relaxing bedroom space, storage is the stuff of our fantasies. For bedroom storage, think beyond the obvious. Storage beds leave just enough to the imagination. You choose from stylish beds to suit your design style, from classic curves to sleek lines. And you get out-of-sight drawers to tuck away everything from sweaters and shoes to extra bedding, and handbags and scarves in between. Choose your level of storage and the layout that fits your bedroom, from drawers on one or both of the bed sides, to drawers at the foot of the bed. Some bed frames with storage offer equivalent storage to a dresser, all without taking up any more space in your bedroom than your current king or queen frame.

Tips for selecting your ideal storage bed:

• Determine where your bed will be positioned in your room, and if you have room for storage on the left side, right side, both, or just at the foot of the bed.
• Take your storage up another level with a Captain’s storage bed, featuring two rows of stacked under-bed storage.
• Look for quality drawers. Ball bearing, full extension drawer glides, English dovetail joinery. Quality construction will pay storage dividends for years to come.

Integrated Technology

When upgrading your bedroom for 2021 and beyond, think smart. You can choose a smart mattress that helps you track your sleep and even adjusts to improve your sleep throughout the night, letting you drift beyond dozing and trudge far into dreamland night after night. You can also integrate technology in smaller ways to make your bedroom more functional, without compromising on fashion. Think beds with lamp assist touch lighting, extra AC outlets on the headboard and more.

Style that Sustains

Sustainability is more of a movement than a trend, but we are seeing the affects in bedroom furniture and décor trends for 2021. There are many sustainable options, starting with a bedroom furniture set made out of reclaimed wood. By choosing furniture made from repurposed wood, you’ll not only be making a sustainable choice, but also get something that’s beautiful and truly one-of-a-kind. Reclaimed wood bedroom furniture is perfect for still-popular rustic and farmhouse style bedrooms. You can also choose a wood bedframe, dresser and nightstands in a more minimalistic design that can suit many contemporary looks.

Another sustainable option is hand-crafted bedroom furniture, made out of responsibly sourced wood, such as pine. You may choose to invest in a piece that is hand crafted locally. Pick from stain and color options to customize your bedroom set and create something that you truly love.

With these bedroom design tips, you can set the perfect tone for a new year. Plus, you’ll set the ideal tone for each day by waking up in a bedroom you love.
