35 Luxe Bedroom Ideas for a Restful Retreat

The bedroom is your private world, the sanctuary that liberates you from the routine of a busy life, a place where you rest your spirit and where you can be yourself. That’s why it is important to create a bedroom that can give you the serenity and comfort you need, with an equal dose of luxury and aesthetic appeal. Before you start working on the numbers and worry about how much it might cost you to create the bedroom of your dreams, here are some luxurious bedroom ideas and designs that can get you into the creative vibe sans the splurging;

1. Gold Accents

Anything plain and humdrum will never fail to look luxurious when touched by gold. This basic white and steel grey bedroom gets an opulent boost from some tasteful golden accents - pillow cases, gold insets in the wall and ceiling, gold touches on the furniture and a show-stopping gold chandelier.

2. Geometric Patterns

You can stick to your favoured earth tones and still achieve a luxurious vibe. Play with geometric patterns to give an understated bedroom an interesting feature. The minimalist drop lights are elegant and modern as they are functional and unobtrusive.

3. Shades of Blue

Blue is the most favoured colour in most luxurious bedroom ideas and designs. It is cool, relaxing and timeless. Use different shades of blue to capture a posh atmosphere. Paint the walls in royal blue, use varying shades on your pillowcases and sheets and soften and balance the deep color with touches of crisp white.

4. Pops of Mustard

Mustard is the perfect complement to the muted grandeur of grey. The ideal shade of mustard - the kind of yellow that’s not too bright, and the kind of gold that’s not too flashy, can do wonders in your bedroom. The interesting use of colour accents - koi fish decal, headboard backlights and accent pillows, adds drama to the setting!

5. Classic Double Doors

Make a statement with a grand entrance! Give your bedroom a stately feature - double doors! Match it with equally posh chandelier, Louis XVI seats and a dressed-up ceiling.

6. Mesmerising Eclectic

Can’t decide on one central theme? Go eclectic and get a little bit of all the styles. This is an example of a mesmerising mix of modern, rustic, Mediterranean and a touch of hobo. The trick to making it work is by sticking a maximum of three colour themes, like this room plays on blues, browns and white.

7. Tropical Hues

Bring in the enchanting and relaxing atmosphere of spa resorts into your own bedroom. The trick is to get as much nature in - reed flooring, varnished wood walls, shell chandelier and the biggest window you can get. Bask in the alluring and luxuriously serene vibe that only nature can bring.

8. Silvery Delight

From the sheets to the wall, the chandelier on the ceiling to carpet on the floor, everything is silvery white. A combination of silk, cotton and furs, glowing under the soft white light from the chandelier, illuminating nothing short of luxury and dreamy princess feel.

9. Asian Minimalism

A beautiful fusion of black and white. The yin and the yang. This bedroom features the balance of between light and darkness, practicality and drama, beauty and efficiency. The precise black and white is softened with Asian accents like bamboo prints and classic vases.

10. Golden Four-Poster

11. Dark Elegance

Dark interiors spell mystery, allure and urbane style. Dark walnut walls match the bare wood floors, different shades of brown on the furniture and furnishings. The tan curtains bring the eye up, to the focal point of the room - tts dressed up ceiling and down to the highlighted bed.

12. Gold and Patterns

Another gold inspiration that’s posh and cultured at the same time. White dominated the interiors. The designer use gold to provide the room its highlights - the headboard and a pair of show-stopping lamps! Patterns of light grey are added to the floor, edge the ceiling and create an interesting wall mirrors.

13. Divan Diva

Elevate the luxurious comfort of your bedroom by adding a divine divan to the foot of your bed. Convenient and functional as it is decorative and beautiful. The varying shades of silver and grey add to the nonconforming and artistic character of the room.

14. Room with a View

A bright Moroccan rug is all you need to bring in the rich colours and warmth of the Mediterranean. The designer took advantage of the ceiling height and ample natural light streaming in. The exquisitely designed chandelier and the deep crimson of the rug provides the much-needed posh factor to the rather generic bedroom.

19. Modern Scandinavian

Turn the stripped-down Scandinavian-styled bedroom into something opulent and upscale. Except for a sensible rug and a minimalist print, the walls and floors are kept at a bare minimum. But the charming rose-gold bowl and piles of comfortable sheets made up for it. This is a room that is focused on comfort as much as in looks.

20. Black Concrete

Black is beautiful, sleek and luxurious. This modern take on minimalism leaves the black concrete walls and wood floors bare. Patterned sheets, silver night lamps and a vintage telephone! The trick to turn somber to chic is the clever use of interesting pieces, shades and patterns.

23. Shades of Purple

Purple is grand, commanding and royal. Choose several shades of purple to dress up the room. Lighter shades like lavender and mauve for the floor, walls, and ceiling, and deeper tones like mulberry and wine to accentuate the room. Don’t fill the room with lots of bric a brac. Few handpicked exceptional pieces for accents will suffice - delicately stunning chandelier, dainty wall accents, and eye-catching night lamps.

24. Patterned Mirror

Indulge your artistic side and play around with geometrical designs to adorn your walls and bedroom floor. Think of diamonds - geometric, glitzy and shiny.

Not too pink, not too white, just radiantly lovely. This bedroom is perfect for girls who love a posh girly room but hate the frills. Peach cushioned walls, fluffy grey rug pink and white bed and a pair of gorgeous drop lights all add up to a sophisticated and sweet bedroom.

32. The Round Bed

The round bed is a breathtaking break from the usual four-cornered and four-poster beds that we are used to. When you don’t want your bedroom to look typical, a plump, round bed placed in the centre of the room will give more of a morning room ambiance. Comfortable, cosy, and dressed-up.

33. Bohemian Colours

Inject a healthy dose of drama into your bedroom with bright bohemian colours. The iron brass headboard highlights the rich setting, while the dark wood paneling resonates old-money. Complete the look by adding colourful velveteen cushions and pillows in paisley and animal prints.
