Inspired by Japan
Small or large bedroom: white is a safe bet. On the one hand, it is the brightest color. And that’s great, to visually enlarge a small room, or to benefit from beautiful light when the exposure leaves a little to be desired. And unlike a strong color, likely to tire or go out of fashion, white is timeless.
Perfect, the white room? Not necessarily. If she is zen, we can criticize her for lacking a little warmth and personality. Unless you consider it as a blank canvas, which you can spruce up as your inspiration dictates. For this, we take inspiration from this IKEA 2024 bedroom, which offers a little colorful twist. Accent wall, floor or ceiling: we dare to use color to give depth (and personality!) to the room. And above all, we have fun with bed linen.
The item to shop : the printed duvet cover. We love SÖTRÖNN and its dynamic, yet soft and harmonious graphic pattern, which skillfully awakens the white bedroom.
Scandinavian romance according to IKEA
Functional and cozy, the Scandinavian bedroom is another classic. Not only does it resist all trends, but it is easy to twist. After the popularity of mixing and matching between Nordic look and industrial spirit, it is the Scandi-romantic look that is on the rise.
The trick to giving a poetic and intimate look to the Nordic bedroom is to draw inspiration from the traditional Scandinavian look. We therefore opt for classic patterns, such as floral prints. To create a more contemporary decor, we forget the 100% pastel palette, and we introduce a more intense shade. Afraid of missing out? Choose a color available in two intensities – light and dark, and combine this tandem with white, for a brighter decor.
The idea to copy: Mix stripes and floral patterns, favoring creations with a slightly vintage look. You can adopt this tip to create a mismatched bedding set – that’s great, it’s super trendy. Or you can go big by opting for wallpaper.
The retro spirit flourishes again in the IKEA bedroom
Team color even in the bedroom? If you are not lacking in daring, you can draw inspiration from the 1970s – the great era of yellow, red and orange. And as if these colors weren’t dynamic enough, the trend was for printed wallpaper. We also found the large white flowers on a colored background in almost all interiors – on the lampshade of the lamp, on the curtains or on the wallpaper.
If this total retro look does not lack panache, let’s not lie to ourselves: it still works better in photos than in real life. Because it is generally difficult to sleep well in such a lively decor! This sunny IKEA bedroom, however, gives you ideas.
The item to shop: We love the SANDERTERNELL pre-cut fabric, great for making curtains to bring your interior into spring-summer time, with a pretty retro twist. Unless you make a cushion cover to create your own bedding set by mixing patterns and colors. Or maybe a lampshade to spruce up the bedside lamp?
A colorful IKEA bedroom
It’s a fact: colors have an influence on our state of mind. This is why it is important to choose them carefully, especially in the bedroom. In this room dedicated to intimacy and rest, it is generally advisable to avoid warm colors, which have the reputation of being too energizing.
Should we conclude that warm colors should be banned? No, of course ! You just have to choose your shades carefully. Pastels are an option. For a soft atmosphere, we rely on slightly smoky shades, like old pink. In a room of generous dimensions, we dare to use more intense, but earthy shades: terracotta or ocher.
The idea to steal: In a bedroom dominated by warm colors, consider introducing a few touches of cold colors through bed linen or decorative accessories: lighting, vase or mobile, for a little touch of fantasy.
The IKEA bedroom sees life in blue
While warm colors should be used with caution in the bedroom, cool colors are ideal. This is particularly the case for blue, a color that invites relaxation. It’s even the most soothing color in the color field!
The nuance that seems to flow naturally in the bedroom? Midnight blue, of course! Very trendy, this blue is suitable for all spaces. As a total look, this deep shade is ideal for creating a cozy atmosphere, without being stuffy. In combination with white, it creates a soft and bright contrast at the same time. For a delicate vintage look, however, you may prefer the combination of midnight blue and beige or ecru color.
The item to shop: With its asymmetrical and enveloping design, the BLÅKULLEN bed is a great ally for adopting blue in the bedroom. We like its tapered base, which gives it maximum lightness, and its clever design, which allows storage underneath. A piece with a sharp and functional style, ideal for furnishing a small bedroom.
