Modern Bedroom Makeover Ideas

A new headboard is a simple way to give your bed a modern makeover.

Redecorating a room as important as a bedroom might seem like a major undertaking. However, you don't need to perform massive construction on your room or spend copious amounts of money on new furniture to achieve a good makeover. You can turn your outdated bedroom into a chic modern haven just by changing a few elements of the room.

The Bed

The bed is the focal point in any bedroom so a fresh, modern bed helps to immediately update the look into a modern style. A brand new bed frame with clean lines and minimalist features made from dark polished wood will transform the room immediately into modern style. However, you don't need to spring for a brand new bed right away. You can easily revamp your existing bed just by getting a new modern headboard. For example, upholstered headboards come in a range of fabrics, leathers and finishes, and quickly give a room a strong contemporary feel. Make sure that your bedding has solid colors or current, sleek, understated patterns to help accentuate the style of the headboard.

The Nightstand

People often overlook the nightstand when decorating a bedroom. The nightstand sits directly next to the bed and the size of the bed easily overshadows it. A modern nightstand that gently contrasts with the style of the bed will bring attention simultaneously to itself and the bed. For example, if your bed is polished wood, consider using a chrome or bright-colored nightstand. You want your nightstand to possess the clean lines and minimalist features of modern style, but in a completely different way than the characteristics of the bed. A modern lamp made of chrome, clear glass, or polished steel is a suitable way to bring even more attention to the nightstand. Because the lamp is an accessory, you can choose whatever design you like.

The Rug

Because minimalism is such a strong tenet of modern style, the majority of your bedroom is going to display a marked lack of pattern. However, a rug is one place where you can use pattern that complements the modern look of your room. A large patterned rug, beside or in front of the bed, with a geometric pattern or a sparse but contemporary floral pattern, in colors that match your color scheme, can do wonders for the room. The rug will help to break up all the solid colors, without sacrificing modern style.
