Bedroom trends 2025: 9 on-trend ideas to revamp your bedroom

As more individuals prioritise sleep hygiene and its impact on well-being, transforming the bedroom into a haven of rest becomes paramount. From selecting the best bedroom paint colours to embracing a minimalist aesthetic, various strategies can contribute to a restful slumber.

“While we still love a big statement headboard and luxurious bedlinen, the whole boutique-hotel bedroom look is making way for a more hand-picked and personality-led design,” says Danielle Le Vaillant from Cox & Cox.

The good news is that all of this year’s bedroom trends can be adapted to create a space that is both calming and visually appealing.

1. Rural charm

“Pretty bedrooms inspired by country cottages and farmhouses are resonating with us,” says Danielle. “Think layered rooms full of contrasting patterns and vintage-inspired pieces where we can retreat from the world and relax.”

The key to this look is not to make it too curated and to seek out accessories or textiles with a handcrafted feel. “The look we want is one that has evolved over time, perhaps with pieces collected on our travels,” advises Danielle.

Colour-wise, she suggests going for soft shades of buttercup yellow, blush pink and soft green. Think striped fabrics, gingham checks and embroidered florals.

“The colour palette offers a real dopamine hit too, and when you add in the florals. It’s like waking up every morning in a wildflower meadow,” she says.

Adding in feminine touches like ruffle borders means you can keep the bedroom furniture simple, letting these delicate details take centre stage while maintaining an elegant, uncluttered aesthetic. This look is easy to dip your toe into, especially if you’re on a budget. Danielle suggests adding a pretty embroidered cushion or two to your bed or replacing an old lampshade with a lovely seagrass pendant.

2. Bold wallpaper applications

Among the most exciting wallpaper trends in 2025 is the idea of breaking traditional boundaries and going bold. Instead of merely using colours on the ceiling think of patterns that don’t just stop at the walls. In bedrooms especially, this approach works wonderfully, with patterns flowing onto ceilings and even wrapping around wardrobe doors.

“The trend for ‘hero’ walls will be overtaken by a desire to immerse a room in pattern and colour,” says Fiona Howard, founder of Fiona Howard Wallpapers. “Now even small-scale wallpaper patterns could cover furniture and woodwork, leaving the plain areas as the bedlinen, fabrics and towels.”

What wallpaper you choose is down to personal choice, but Fiona believes delicate vintage florals will be big for 2025. And if you have an en-suite, she suggests carrying on the theme into the bathroom to give it more cohesion.

“Smaller scale wallpaper patterns in bedrooms carry through to the bathroom making the transition between the two rooms less obvious and more of a natural gentle flowing experience to create a calming mind and body experience,” she says. “The bedroom and bathroom are now one room, not two.”

If you go for wallpaper everywhere, including the ceiling, Fiona advises keeping everything else neutral, taking one colour from the wallpaper. That way, it’s soothing rather than chaotic.

3. Dark wood

The era of pale, Scandinavian-inspired woods is giving way to a bolder aesthetic. Rich mahogany and walnut tones, traditionally reserved for formal living spaces, are now making their way into the bedroom – and with stunning results. These deeper wood finishes bring a sense of drama and sophistication to sleeping spaces, while also creating an intimate atmosphere that’s perfectly suited to a bedroom’s purpose.

“With their inherent sophistication, dark woods can add warmth and cosiness to a space, alongside adding character and unique charm, especially if the wood features knotting or unusual markings,” says Ayan Abdi, brand and home expert from Zinus.

Dark wood furniture – such as drawers or bed frames – is an obvious way to incorporate this. But to keep it modern and fresh, Ayan recommends mixing in different materials, such as metal or textured upholstery. Try incorporating brass or matte black metal accents through lighting fixtures, drawer handles or a sleek mirror frame.

You can also add warmth and visual interest with textured elements like a boucle accent chair, a woven jute rug or linen bedding. This mix of materials prevents the space from feeling too heavy or traditional while still maintaining the sophisticated appeal of dark wood.

4. Burgundy

Move over, decorating with brown – burgundy’s stealing the spotlight. This deep red is taking over catwalks and sneaking into home decor, bringing serious style cred with it. Don’t let burgundy’s dark intensity scare you off – just like rich wood tones, this colour creates a cosy, warm sanctuary in the bedroom.

“The rich deep hues of burgundy lend themselves well to creating that cosy, intimate atmosphere you want in your bedroom which will help you to wind down,” says Alex Francis from luxury bed brand, Comodo Living.

While Alex doesn’t recommend colour-drenching your bedroom with the shade, he says it can work well as an accent wall or mixed in with neutral tones.

“Burgundy pairs well with a variety of colours including cream, grey and neutral tones like camel,” he advises. “If you fancy adding a merlot shade to your bedroom but want to play it safe then start by incorporating some burgundy-toned throw cushions into your bedscape.”

Alternatively, you can choose a headboard in burgundy, to really make your bed the central element of the room.

“Burgundy is a more traditional colour, so with this in mind I’d recommend leaning into the heritage feel with a Chesterfield bed in a plush dirty rose velvet for a regal feel,” he says. “If you’re looking for a more contemporary aesthetic then a sleek bed frame with curved details can help to add a modern touch.”

5. Pamper zones

Bedrooms serve as more than just a place for sleep; they’re also where we prepare for the day ahead. Monika Puccio, head buyer for Sofa Club, predicts a growing focus on creating luxurious spaces dedicated to self-care and pampering within the bedroom.

“Adding a vanity desk and an accent chair to create that lovely well-being/pampering area is key for 2025,” she says. “This comes from the desire to create a visually and physically comforting space that allows us to unwind and relax in a cosy atmosphere.”

When choosing a dressing table, start by considering your available space. A corner unit can maximise smaller areas effectively, while a streamlined console table offers an elegant solution.

For added comfort and style, Monika recommends considering incorporating a textured accent chair in a boucle or faux fur fabric – it creates both a practical and inviting spot for your daily routine.

6. All natural

Prepare to embrace the power of nature in bedroom trends for 2025. From textured grass cloths to adorned wood veneers, this is the perfect moment to invest in natural materials.

“Your bedroom is your sanctuary and the warmth and depth these natural materials can add, especially in earthy tones, is unmatched,” says Hannah Swift, marketing manager of Beautiful Walls.

“People are moving away from big patterns and bold colours and are now opting for muted elegance, especially in spaces meant for relaxation and rejuvenation.”

Creating this look is all about the mixing of textures. Think luxurious softness against raw, natural elements. This contrast adds depth and visual interest, making your bedroom a truly engaging space.

“Textures will be key, with a focus on tactile elements like chunky knits, softly crinkled linens, and plush, low-pile rugs to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere,” says Daniela Venturini, art director and trend forecaster from Wayfair.

7. Hope core

Given that Dulux’s Colour of the Year for 2025 is named ‘True Joy’ it’s no surprise that colours brimming with hope and happiness will be a popular choice for bedrooms.

“Bedrooms will be radiating optimism and creativity with a sense of renewal and energy,” says Daniela, who cites shades such as coral, mint green and yellow to be the happy paint colours for this trend, offset by softer creamy neutrals.

To refresh your furniture, she suggests opting for minimalist pieces like a simple platform bed or modular side tables in acrylic or lighter wood tones.

This look is surprisingly budget-friendly too and doesn’t need a whole host of new furniture. A fresh coat of yellow paint, some vibrant wall art and a few playful vases can easily bring the whole look together.

8. Earthy tones

With the rising popularity of natural fabrics comes a renewed appreciation for earthy tones in bedroom design Vicky Floros, founder of Vicky Floros Studio, notes that natural shades are fast becoming favourites among her clients.

“Rich browns, deep greens, warm taupe and terracotta tones set the stage, complemented by a thoughtful mix of wood and stone elements,” she says. “This creates a harmonious, grounded design that feels both timeless and inviting.”

It also taps into Pantone’s Colour Of The Year for 2025 ‘Mocha Mousse’, a warm, rich brown described as “nurturing us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort” – yes, perfect for any bedroom.

Vicky says a great way to use these shades is by colour-drenching your room, which involves painting walls, trim and ceilings all in the same hue. She also loves double drenching.

“It takes the idea further by using two or more complementary shades to bathe the space in a transformative, layered palette,” she says. “Both approaches are perfect for designing bedrooms that feel like immersive, cocoon-like retreats.”

As well as using paint to transform your room, Vicky suggests adding vintage finds for a truly modern look.

“Second-hand furniture is a great option for budget-conscious design,” she says. “It’s eco-friendly, affordable, and instantly adds unique character to your room.”

9. Shell style

Every year sees a different material trending and 2025 is going to be the year of the shell.

“Shells are going to feature as a decorative theme,” says Fiona. They can be easily translated across surfaces from fabrics and wallpapers to lighting, bed linen, towels and accessories.”

Shells evoke a sense of tranquillity and connection to the ocean, making them perfect for adding a touch of chic coastal style to your bedroom.

And it’s not just the motif that will be big, it’s also mother-of-pearl accessories such as inlaid trays, shimmering lamps or decorative bowls that catch the light.

While ocean-inspired hues such as soft greens and blues are an obvious nautical choice, Fiona suggests going for another soft shade – pink.

“The colour, shell pink, will be used throughout thanks to its luxurious and calming, warm and feminine properties,” she says.

FAQs

What are the key bedroom trends 2025?

Vicky says that it’s time to introduce some warmth into our bedrooms. “Say goodbye to grey, stark white and the classic white ceiling paired with coloured walls – they’re no longer the go-to choices,” says Vicky. “The future of design is all about warmth, depth and embracing bold, unified colour schemes.”

If you’re on a budget, most of the bedroom trends for 2025 can also be recreated with a little creativity and DIY spirit. Second-hand furniture, new bed linens or a fresh coat of paint can breathe new life into your sanctuary.
