Gorgeous! This bedroom makes an immediate visual impact with rough textured concrete in a sharp geometric pattern, with oversized headboard panels above and below. Unique pendant lights from Tom Dixon hover above the cantilever bedside tables (also concrete) and a bright patterned rug energizes the color palette.

Seeing the snowy branches outside really emphasizes how warm and inviting this bedroom turned out to be, especially considering the cold reputation of concrete.

This artistic monochromatic room uses subtle white-painted panels as a backdrop to the stunning portrait on the wall behind the bed. A striking, textural rug draws the eye toward the artwork to maximize its position as the focal point of the room. The singular brown chair balances the distribution of visual weight.

Cosmos pendant lamps flank each side of the bed and add a distinctively playful appeal.

As you can see from this angle, the pendant lamps are flat rather than spherical – a cool reversal of a hot trend.

The ceiling is incredible! Also worth admiring: that beautiful weightless-looking television panel and the cantilever sideboard cabinets to the right.

Neutral grays dominate the color palette, but the matte gray on the far wall contains strong hints of dark blueish-green.

A little paint and primer can make diverse decor sets go together. The trick is to introduce a natural amount of variation, like the beige vase in this arrangement.

Understated, yet glowing with a luxurious touch. This bedroom uses layers of three different materials on the far headboard wall – the effect is calming and artful. The natural wood presents a warm focal point, with the glossy glass panel above providing a weightless and ethereal appearance sure to invoke pleasant dreams. Functional white cabinetry occupies the uppermost tier.

The scale of the room is just perfect. A large rug softens a generous perimeter around the bed and the bed itself looks plush and comfortable despite its low profile.

Black satin paint brings out the texture of the slatted wardrobe.

Here, the accent wall is a little simpler in terms of concept, and more accessible to those who prefer a classic decor style. The brick accent wall is painted in white but retains plenty of characteristic texture. The painting to the left serves as a sort of implied headboard. The overall look embraces a rugged, chic, and tasteful personality.

Which one counts as the accent wall? Both are so beautiful! This one is composed of wood panels interspersed with stripes of glowing recessed lights.

French architect Jacques Adnet popularized this mirror design with the release of his iconic Round Mirror in 1946. The molded armchair from Eames was designed just a few years later, making this a very relevant pairing.

Layers of textures and patterns on the bed echo the eclectic surrounding decor.

Don’t you think the transparent doors on the walk-in closet are interesting? The blurred design ensures this functional space doesn’t make the rest of the bedroom look cluttered.

Geometry is the language of expression in this attractive bedroom. The centered headboard is especially interesting – a variety of painted and unpainted boards come together at matched and unmatched points. Even cooler is the cubic bed frame that continues the diagonal lines of the headboard.

The accent wall is eye-catching yet relatively subdued, leaving plenty of room to appreciate the incredible view.

28 |

Simple decor allows the headboard area to take center stage.

While the furniture offers a contemporary aesthetic, the decor leans more toward a blend between urban industrialism and modern rustic. Industrial bedside lamps and steel containers have a huge effect on the overall attitude of the room.

This bedroom features a big bold accent wall composed of an oversized mosaic of wooden rhombuses arranged in a gorgeous pattern. The wood used here has a very fine and distinct grain and heightens the luxury of the panels. Plush rectangles make up the headboard for an added layer of visual interest.

Brass accents brighten the space and coordinate with the natural materials used throughout.

What a neat idea! Anybody with a little paint and a set of matching frames could recreate the tidy photography arrangement to the right.
