While there are plenty of modern bedroom ideas floating about the world wide web, it would be wise to choose the one that suits your preferences and needs rather than merely jumping on trend bandwagons. How do you go about picking a bedroom theme and bringing your ideas to life? First, make a list of your requirements and perhaps a picture board of favourite bedroom themes to help you get an idea of what kind of furniture or décor you’ll need. From Scandinavian-inspired to minimalist or modern luxe styles, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to designing your dream bedroom.

To get you started on your bedroom plans, here are 3 modern-day bedroom themes to explore:
Modern Luxe Bedroom Theme
The modern luxe aesthetic is all about clean-lined silhouettes punctuated with bold accents, modern elegance, rich textures and sumptuous colours. Modern luxe bedrooms also tend to utilise darker, richer colour palettes. For a subtle touch of glam, choose furniture with metal details such as the Harold Coffee Table and Zeth Study Table in walnut colour.
A bed is central to your bedroom layout plans as it is the focal point of your bedroom.Therefore, it’s a great idea to begin your planning with the type of bed frame you’d prefer. If you’re wondering how to choose a bed frame that matches your modern luxe bedroom aesthetic, opt for wooden platform bed frames with darker finishes like the Valentino and Damaris.
Scandinavian Bedroom Theme
The Scandinavian-inspired home leans more towards a minimalistic approach that incorporates natural elements such as wood finishes in lighter hues, plenty of greenery and natural light. The overall look is serene and modern, a contemporary oasis of calm after a hectic day.
A neutral colour palette is highly popular when it comes to Scandinavian design, but don’t be afraid to use splashes of colour as well to break up the monotony of creams, beiges and greys.
If you’re contemplating how to choose a bed frame to match your modern Scandinavian-themed bedroom, consider the Janelle or Amita. If you are looking for a platform bed with storage drawers, go for Amita — the type of bed frame that can make the most of your bedroom real estate, especially if you’re styling a small bedroom. Pair your bed with our Delilah or Kyushu as a bedside table and add the Ballet Dresser or Gaper Standing Mirror to create a modern Scandinavian theme for your bedroom.
Minimalist Bedroom Theme
A modern and minimalist look doesn’t mean bare white walls and a lack of furniture or décor. Instead, it’s more of a pared-down appeal that seeks to soothe, rather than draw the eye. Having a clean, organised space is a must when planning for a minimalist bedroom. To ensure that your minimalist bedroom looks inviting and cosy, opt for layers of texture, sleek furnishings and subdued, muted shades. Beige, eggshell, light mocha or light wood furniture such as beech or birch wood adds contrast to a minimalist bedroom while still keeping to the theme.
