Grand, super-sized headboard ideas have always been a ‘thing’ but in 2025, we’re going to see designers making a real statement with their color and pattern choices.
Colorful patterns have replaced monotonal textures and shapes have become more complex and curvaceous. The rectangle has been superseded by curves and free-form asymmetrical pieces that are almost pieces of art in their own right. Find an upholsterer with headboard experience and discuss your ideas for shapes, sizes, and fabrics before you make the order.
‘With the rise of the boutique hotel and its trending look in residential design, the headboard has become a brilliant focal point in bedroom decor. Look to the Firmdale Hotels for inspiration on using brave colors and patterns, and have fun coordinating your headboard with a wallpaper or throw. Don’t be afraid to choose a more outlandish style, as this only adds more character,’ says designer, Martin Waller from Andrew Martin.
2. Bed nooks and canopies

Creating a cozy nook bed is becoming increasingly popular among designers and design-savvy homeowners as the best way to create a sense of enclosure that’s both luxurious and comforting.
Great for small bedrooms, guest bedrooms, and children’s rooms, a bedroom alcove or a canopy bed makes the most of a small layout, providing space for hidden storage and of course decorative style.
Designed by Alice Gaskell of Alice Grace, the enveloping children’s bed nook above has been created with soft hues of blue and yellow to provide a safe and playful space for her son, enclosed with a curtain for comfort and privacy.
3. Fun and frilly textiles

From ruffled bed skirts to scalloped-edged pillowcases, this trend creates a whimsical aesthetic, making it perfect for those who want to add a touch of personality and charm to their bedroom decor.
These soft details are all about creating spaces that feel joyful and relaxed. Perhaps as a reaction to the ever-popular Cottagecore aesthetic, frilly textiles bring a sense of nostalgia to your space. Think ruffle-trimmed curtains, bed linen, throw pillows, and bed skirts.
Interior designer Gray Walker suggests adding ‘Fun and flirty finishing details on window treatments to show your personality!’
Made from 100% cotton percale with a 200 thread-count, these wavy sheets are said to be as cool as a dip in the rolling sea to help lull you off to sleep in style.
Ashmont Ruffled Bed Skirt
A striped bed skirt is a surefire way to show people you know your stuff. This gathered ruffle version will hide both your box spring and under-bed storage while providing a sense of style.
Belgian Linen Ruffle Blackout Curtain
For a subtle take on the trend, this 100% linen curtain from Pottery Barn Teen is available in 5 beautiful hues and comes with a blackout liner for a good night’s sleep.
4. Cozy and cocooning colors

Camilla Clarke, creative director at Albion Nord says, ‘Going into any new year, your bedroom should be the ultimate sanctuary space. Fully embrace cozy and calming colors, particularly soft blues, and deep olive greens. Pairing these shades with warm lighting will help to create feelings of restfulness and serenity.’
Calming colors do not always have to be light and bright for bedroom color ideas, sometimes these lighter colors can make a space feel a little cold. Dark, moody, and earthy palettes can work just as well in creating a warming, comforting, and cocooning space that helps us feel more relaxed and snug.
This chocolate brown bedroom creates a wonderfully inviting, cozy feel, with the beautiful ochre headboard, ceiling wallpaper ideas, and flowing curtains creating an elegant, uplifting contrast in the space.
5. Eclectic mix of styles

Charu Gandhi founder and director of Elicyon says, ‘In 2025, I believe we are going to see an integration of vintage and contemporary design aesthetics to create one cohesive scheme throughout a room or home’.
From paint trends embracing a more heritage feel to the surging popularity of upcycling second-hand finds and decorating with vintage and antiques, styling your bedroom with a mix of the old and new will create a more eclectic and unique scheme that celebrates styles of the past with designs of the present.
British Interior Designer, Matthew Williamson also supports this and says, ‘I imagine we will see a resurgence of antique sourcing, reclaiming, restoring and upcycling. My favorite interiors to work on are those that don’t necessarily start from scratch or have a huge budget but those that have been designed with all these aspects in play. Considering what you have already and seeing it reworked in a different way can be so rewarding, more personal, and just as effective.’
6. Layers, layers, and more layers

Bedrooms are all about layering. Whether that’s tonal variations of color on different surfaces, a mix of patterns that playfully explore a particular palette or a dynamic blend of textures.
A stylish selection of throw pillows placed on a bed can completely change the look and feel of a bedroom. Throw pillows can not only make a bed look and feel more cozy and comfortable, but they can be a highly versatile decorating tool, too. From introducing an accent color to enhancing a space with eye-catching print and pattern, layering different styles and sizes of cushions will continue to be an enduring bedroom trend.
Brad Ramsey, principal and founder of Brad Ramsey Interiors says, ‘Expect to see layered collections of mismatched pillows used to style beds. As well as larger anchor pillows, smaller designs that feature beautiful patterns are also on trend for 2025.’
Loro Piana Striped Cotton-Terry and Linen Pillow
Add a pop of stripe and unexpected red with this Loro Piana striped throw pillow made in a terry towel fabric. Made in Italy, this can be styled with linens and other fun prints.
Soho Home Cassia Tasseled Cotton Throw
Hand-knotted and finished with the chunkiest of tassels, Soho Home’s Cassia throw is going to look effortlessly chic when draped over the foot of your bed. We love a double blanket moment so add a patterned one too.
Anaya So Soft Linen Down-Alternative Pillow
In a natural indigo hue, this linen pillow has been derived from flax to create a lustrous and durable feel that can add a drop of serene, deep blue to your slumber space.
7. Prioritize clever storage and organization

More of a priority for homeowners rather than a trend, but it is time to champion clever storage systems and organization to make better use of space your bedroom and create some calm among the chaos.
Typically, we tend to think of very high gloss, contemporary, and soulless wardrobe fronts and closet space but when the team at California Closets designed this old-meets-new closet space above, in collaboration with designer Jeremiah Brent, they managed to work to create something with personality and function.
From bespoke built-ins to innovative furniture that hides clutter, you want to create a bedroom that looks serene while offering practicality. Using storage like baskets, fabric-lined boxes, or ceramic trays as an opportunity for styling will ensure the room stays organized while decor.
8. Wallpaper is here to stay

Bedroom wallpaper ideas are a popular choice for many; enriching a space with beautiful color, pattern, and eye-catching visual interest, and it seems for 2025, the bigger and bolder, the better.
‘We’re going to see wonderfully whimsical and immersive wallpapers transform rooms into escapist sanctuaries filled with mountains, temples, clouds, and dense foliage,’ says Ed O’Donnell, co-founder of Angel O’Donnell.
We are also starting to see the rise of more unique, textured wallpapers in the home, establishing a heightened, tactile effect, ideal for creating an enhanced feeling of comfort and texture in a bedroom like a grasscloth paper that is ever popular with designers.
‘We are bringing rich moody colors to bedrooms every chance we get,’ says Amy Carman, designer of the space above. ‘For the guest suite at our Olive Park residence, we enveloped the room in a midnight-toned forest of trees and birds, painting the ceiling, trim, and shutters to match. A cinnamon velvet bed and the client’s vintage rug add a layer of pattern and character to the moody forest.’
9. Beautiful blues

If you crave a calming atmosphere in your main bedroom then blue – in all its variations – could be the solution.
In our round-up of 2024’s Colors of the Year from some of our favorite paint brands, beautiful blue shades dominated the selection for upcoming paint trends, and we expect to see a continued rise in blue bedroom ideas across the home in 2025.
From deep navy to soft powder blue, this color is being embraced for its ability to create a serene and sophisticated atmosphere, perfect for a space designed for rest and relaxation. Whether used on walls, textiles, or accent pieces, blue lends itself to both timeless and contemporary aesthetics, making it a favorite among interior designers.
10. Meaningful personal touches

A bedroom is perhaps the most private and intimate space in the home, somewhere you can truly relax and be yourself. Art, then, is particularly significant here.
Your chosen artworks can be as bold or a subtle as you like – decorating with art will always win in helping to make a room feel fully finished and more personal. A favorite artwork can be a classic starting point for a bedroom scheme. Make this your color cue – experiment with the colors used, select two or three, then take it from there.
As well as beautiful artworks, accessories such as houseplants, decorative ornaments, books and magazines can work wonderfully to bring a sense of personality to a bedroom.
11. Color confidence

Getting the color right in a bedroom can be a tricky business. Even with all their experience, it can take time for professionals to make a decision. There is a lot to consider – the size and shape of the space, the available natural light and its direction, who it is for, etc.
However, many of us are becoming more confident with color trends in our spaces, moving away from simple, neutral palettes in favor of shades with more depth and personality. For 2025 bedroom trends, embrace shades that bring you joy and work in effortless harmony with your personal style.
Emma Deterding, founder and creative director of Kelling Designs says, ‘where previously muted, neutral bedrooms have been popular, we are now seeing a huge move away from minimalist bedroom schemes, with clients being more daring with design choices. From statement wallpaper and creative wall finishes, such as polished plaster, through to bold and colorful fabrics and bed linen, clients want to inject personality into their homes, and this is no different in the bedroom.’
12. Bring the outside in

The natural world will always be a timeless influence on interior design, with green bedroom ideas remaining one of the most popular choices for homes of all ages and styles.
For a beautiful, indoor-outdoor natural bedroom scheme, complement shades of green with warming wood tones, and other natural materials such as wool and stone, or bring in beautiful floral and botanical motifs – and plenty of houseplants and flowers.
Interior designer, Peak Petersen, design principal at Hoedemaker Pfeiffer supports this and says, ‘Earth tones will reign supreme, especially for bedroom trends. Soft greens, such as Farrow & Ball – Card Room Green, are perfect for a bedroom.’
FAQs
What colors do the experts recommend for a bedroom?
Color Expert at Farrow & Ball, Joa Studholme says, ‘We have moved towards the warmer tones of nature, like deep reddish browns and terracotta, which are strong and subdued but achingly fashionable. Incredibly chic by day and cozy by night, they bring a grounded but luxurious atmosphere in a bedroom that is thought-provoking as well as soothing, particularly when paired with other hues found in the natural world.
‘We crave warm tones that will enrich our homes and create cozy sanctuaries away from the outside world. Luxurious colors like red can be added to the most neutral of palettes by using them in the rooms we use at the end of the day, when we most want to relax and be comforted.’
Natasha Bradley, Lick Home’s director of interior design and color psychologist also says, ‘We have seen a huge trend in colors that make your bedroom a calm and comforting space that you can come to after the working day. As more people look to finding a balance between work and home life. These restful colors include both blue and green, and will work with a larger palette of colors influenced by the beauty of the natural world.’
What is the latest bedroom trend in bedding?
As we look to make more sustainable and long-lasting choices and create comfortable environments that can provide us with a good night’s sleep, more of us are beginning to invest in quality luxury bedding for our homes.
We spend so much time in our beds – nearly half of are lives – so it is crucial to invest in the right bedding, ensuring that your body is supported and comfortable and you feel fully relaxed and cozy.
‘There’s definitely a move towards relaxed bedding and comfy sheets,’ says Gemma Gordon Duff from Gordon Duff & Linton. ‘Linen, organic bedding, and chunky wool throws are hugely popular right now and add to that feeling of sanctuary.’
Is gray still in style for bedrooms in 2025?
Gray bedroom ideas are still incredibly popular, but as we spend more and more time in our homes, we have started experimenting with warmer neutrals, especially in the bedroom.
According to designer Tiffany Duggan, gray has very much been and gone, ‘We love color and a fully gray palette has never really been our thing. We do love neutrals too but err towards warmer colors such as soft buttery whites, bones and plaster-hued nudes. I think gray-based greens and blues are lovely and a perfect foil to brighter more impactful patterns and colors but the cool, commercial grays of the last decade do seem to be fading in popularity.’
On the other hand, ‘decorating with gray will always be in style because there are so many easy gray tones to work with,’ says Natasha Bradley from Lick. ‘They allow you a base shade that you can then bring other shades such as greens and blues in too.
Choosing the right grays for your home is really important as you can end up falling into a trap where the gray hue you have chosen ends up making your home feel dull and lifeless. When in reality the right shade of gray can make a space feel warm and sophisticated. Choosing a gray hue with a warm undertone of soft green can bring character and color into your home.’
