Have you been looking at your bedroom with a longing for change in your eyes? Perhaps it is starting to look tired? We couldn’t resist that one.
Let the up-and-coming trends of the New Year guide your hand and help you create the perfect bedroom with wow-factor for now and style that’ll last the year. To find out what’ll be cropping up in stylish homes everywhere, look no further.
We’ve had a chat to the folks at Storage Beds Direct, who know a thing or two about bedrooms.
Here’s a few ideas you could consider.
Attention-grabbing graphics
Bring some fun into your bedroom this year with a rainbow of colours all brought together in a swish of bold and fearless prints. Why not go for seventies-inspired floral swirls? Or let stern brickwork patterns balance out a chaos of colours.
If monochrome is more your style, then you could go for black and white graphic patterns jazzed up with single blocks of colour here and there.
Naturally perfect
Earthy shades are big news this year. Browns, creams and greys do make the perfect backdrop for a grand wooden bed.
You still needn’t avoid brighter colours completely. Duck-egg blue and leaf greens are great colours to liven up a room while still staying true to the all-natural theme.
Uplifting blues
Blue is well and truly in for 2025, and as a fresh, revitalising colour that washes away the last year’s tired features and brings a newness to all, who’s surprised? Choose any shade of blue you like – or save yourself a tough decision by incorporating more than one in a stylish ombre effect.
Emerald green
As Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2025, emerald green needs to be in your bedroom! If you don’t fancy full walls in the shade, how about using it for those blocks of colour mentioned in ‘attention-grabbing graphics’ above?
Brilliant botanicals
All things plant-inspired are perfect for creating a relaxing space to retire at the end of the day, so give in to floral-patterned wallpaper and leaf-like prints.
Regal brass
Brass is the perfect way to add warmth to a room, be it a traditional or modern design. It improves with age and looks good in almost any surrounding; what could be better to bring a splash of golden luxury into your bedroom?
Add some shimmer
Moody greys are big news for this year’s interior décor, but if a total grey-out is a little dull for you, liven things up with some metallic shimmer and just one feature wall while the others stay faithful to the trend. Silver mirror and picture frames continue the enlivening effect.
Get glossy
High-gloss finishes don’t just belong in bathrooms and kitchens! Turn up the shine in your bedroom with sleek dressing tables, highly-polished arty sculptures and as many reflective surfaces as you can get your hands on.
Black is back
You don’t need to sacrifice a light and airy bedroom to incorporate this trend. A few nods in the form of cushions, vases, or even candles will be enough as it’s such a statement shade.
Let the sunshine in
Yellow is perhaps not traditionally the first choice for a bedroom colour; 2025 is the time for that to change. Yellow’s high profile should encourage you to introduce it in any way you can – by the window if possible, to give the impression of warming golden light streaming into your room.
