5 minimalist bedroom décor and design ideas
Minimalistic Bedroom Design
Minimalism is an interior design aesthetic, which focuses on the guideline of ‘less is more.’ Presently, this design style is trending in the home interiors space. A minimalist space features clean lines, a restrained palette, and carefully curated furniture and décor pieces. As a minimalist room features less furnishings, everything should be thoughtfully chosen and aesthetically pleasing yet practical.
As people’s everyday lives have become busy and hectic, they desire a home that is simple, uncluttered and relaxing. A sort of sanctuary for them to come home too. While a minimalist décor style can be incorporated in any room of the home, a minimalist bedroom interior is particularly popular. If there is one space in our home where we strive for minimalism, it is our bedroom designs. While we are all for the organised chaos that our lives are, we’d rather leave it at the door of our bedrooms. Hence, we vote for a modern minimalist bedroom with clean lines, muted pastel shades and dim, diffused lighting. But that’s not it, the style allows us enough flexibility to add a pop of colour here or there (we’re looking at the occasional bright duvet and of course, lush green plants).
To strike the perfect balance between ever-changing trends and retaining a signature style is at the heart of good design. This guide on minimalist bedroom ideas offers inspiration for anyone interested in exploring the art of crafting a minimalist interior design bedroom.
These minimalist modern bedroom ideas will inspire you to declutter your home. To get a better sense of the style and how minimalist bedrooms can work for many types of homes, we take a look at some of our favourite spaces.

Minimalist Bedroom With Neutral Colours
As your bedroom is a space for you to relax and unwind, the colour palette you choose should not overwhelm your senses.
In your modern bedroom design, create a tranquil retreat with neutral hues, which are relaxing and reflect your personality. The trademark of a minimalist interior design bedroom is muted colours and a neutral palette. Examples of well-loved neutral colours include beige, taupe, grey, cream, brown, black, and white. Don’t shy away from using plenty of whites, plush pinks and even light greys. While selecting soft furnishings and artwork for your bedroom, consider the colour palette of your furniture so as to create a harmonious space. Furthermore, a neutral colour palette is the perfect backdrop for bold accents.
This minimalist interior design bedroom features white walls, a cosy bed and simple accessories that lend an unfussy feel. While the bedroom has a neutral colour palette, the soft furnishings and accent pieces add some vibrancy to the otherwise monochrome space. Additionally, this room comprises plenty of natural light, creating a positive and peaceful vibe.
Sometimes, all it takes to uplift your bedroom is a statement chandelier or colourful curtains. So even if you don’t have a lot of furniture in your bedroom, it’s fine. That’s the beauty of a minimalist bedroom design - it allows you to play with scale. Also, the key to an aesthetically pleasing minimalist bedroom is to not fill it with too many furniture or décor pieces. In minimalist interior design, the more visible space, the better. Therefore, choose a few statement pieces that complement each other, instead of adding a plethora of items. Finally, after selecting minimalist furniture and accent pieces, organise your personal belongings in trays or bowls for an uncluttered look and a stress-free environment. If you have a lot of stuff but desire a minimalist look, opt for smart, hidden storage solutions.
Moreover, while designing a minimalist bedroom, which is highly functional, an important consideration are the lighting fixtures. To keep the atmosphere serene, accent lighting is the way to go. Choose layered lighting featuring pendant lights, wall fixtures and lamps. Add striking chandeliers to illuminate the room with a soft glow and table lamps for focused lights where needed.
Clean Straight-Line Furniture in Minimal Bedroom
Clean, straight-line furniture in light colours work like a charm for a minimal bedroom.
They make the room seem visually light. Sleek lines and geometric silhouettes create a sophisticated and chic space.
Another strategy to craft an exquisite minimalist bedroom, is to select low-slung furniture pieces that provide a sense of high ceilings. While designing a minimalist bedroom, first select the bed, as it is the most important piece of furniture. For a minimalist bedroom, it’s a good idea to choose a modern bedframe with a sleek headboard. A headboard with channel tufting is a good choice as it does not take up too much space, and adds texture to a minimalist bedroom.
While choosing soft furnishings for your minimalist small bedroom décor, do not go overboard. When adding accent pieces to a minimalist bedroom, ratio and proportion are crucial. In a minimalist bedroom, it is best not to add too many of pillows and blankets. A plethora of soft furnishings could disturb the cohesiveness of the room. Muted linen sheets, a duvet and one accent pillow are all you need to create a minimalist vibe. For some texture, you can add a shaggy carpet or even mix things up with a brightly coloured duvet.
Minimal Bedroom With Dark Colours
Contrary to what people think, a modern minimalist bedroom design does not have to be white or light-coloured. There’s also some pleasure in crossing over to the dark side. Darker colours paired with minimal, clean-lined furniture can make a minimal room feel more intimate. For instance, this stylish bedroom features a dark colour palette, which is still soothing and arresting. Matte blacks and glossy greys also combine beautifully for a cosy minimalist bedroom. If you choose dark hues for your bedroom, keep it monochromatic. For a dash of brightness, you can choose curtains or a carpet in solid colours.
Additionally, artwork does not have to be restricted to your living or dining room. Add a thoughtfully curated artwork on the wall above the bed to tie the space together. In a minimalist small bedroom décor, wall art can add character and serve as the focal point. Moreover, as colours can evoke certain emotions in people such as calmness, joy, admiration and intrigue, choose artworks in the relaxing hues for your minimalist bedroom.
Warm Colours For A Minimal Bedroom Design
It is a mistaken belief that a minimalist bedroom interior has to be in neutral hues. For a minimalist look, no colour is off limits.
A pink two colour combination for bedroom walls is a great idea for a fun minimalist space. This warm and welcoming bedroom features a light pink hued wall, soft furnishings and artwork. Grey pillows, green plants and furniture in earthy hues add a zen vibe to the space. Plants are always a great way to bring the outdoors inside. Not only do plants look great, they also freshen up the air you breathe and stay focused and positive.
This minimalist bedroom, which balances comfort and minimalism, features a subtle palette of pink and grey that does not overload the senses. Additionally, a minimalist bedroom with few accessories does not have to be plain and boring. Add a few brass accents and interesting geometric shapes to add eye-catching elements in a minimalist bedroom. Finally, in a pared-down bedroom, the focus should always be on reclusiveness and quietude. Opt for an undone bed by selecting pre washed linens and cotton duvets on a soft bed, which will make you want to dive in. Add candles and relaxing music to your minimalist bedroom and you have the ultimate tranquil cocoon for you to retire in after a long day!
