Expect the unexpected in a year designers believe will be filled with prints and mismatched everything.
As the year quickly draws to a close, we've narrowed in on the bedroom design trends of 2024. This just might be the wakeup call your personal sanctuary has been waiting for! You don't have to bide your time until the new year to start prioritizing the peace your sleeping area deserves. If you've tried everything from moving your bed per Feng Shui principles or drafting a sleep divorce to escape your partner's snoring, we've got fresh ideas for you. We reached out to interior designers and experts to share the bedroom trends that are guaranteed to destress and bring excitement to your most personal space.
2024 is all about breaking the traditional rules you've kept in the bedroom and trying out bold but effective changes that'll make even the most exhausting day feel lighter. Designers predict we'll opt out of beds with mountains of pillows and blankets you have to move before you slide in. "We are moving away from an abundance of pillows and fluffy duvets on a bed. Pared-down bedding, such as a vintage embroidered coverlet and a pair of printed shams, is all that is necessary to make a beautiful bed," says Next Wave designer Kerri Pilchik.
We've kept you in the know for every interior design trend from kitchens, living rooms, colors, and kitchen paint to TikTok, so naturally we want to ensure your bedroom doesn't be left out. The good news? The bedroom trends for 2024 are accessible and easy to add to your space in a day or less. Read on for the trends that'll have you hitting snooze all year.

Mismatched Furniture
Your jaw may be on the floor at the thought of parting from your bedroom set, but designer Andre Hilton says functionality and style can bring harmony, no matter how unconventional it seems. "People are working from home, working from their beds, and overall just enjoying multitasking within the walls of their bedroom, so it's only right to have a space for storage, a space for writing, and space to display things you love," he says.
He brought personality and cleverness to this bedroom by placing a writing table on one side of the bed and a nightstand on the other.

Eclectic Bed Linens and Pillows
This trend won't break the bank! Tiny changes like adding new colors to your pillows or bedding can make a major difference.
"I am delighted in observing our clients and young home enthusiasts taking interest in mismatching their bed linens. This mini trend feels really fun because it makes design accessible for any budget, home size, or rent versus own status," says designer Noz Nozawa.

Allover Prints
"In bedrooms, the classic style of matching the pattern for wallpaper and fabrics seems more popular than ever. I have always loved this approach as it creates such an enveloping and cozy environment, perfect for a bedroom," says Pilchik, who adds that this can also mask idiosyncrasies in a room such as asymmetrical or uncentered windows and slanted ceilings. If you're nervous to take the leap, start by bringing the pattern and color palette into your bedding.

Fuss-Free Bedding
Alexis Pew of Kaminski + Pew predicts 2024 will leave the fuss out of the bedroom and bring in the relaxation. "We love the look of linen sheets and duvets in soft, warm neutral tones. In particular, oversized draped linen coverlets with the pillows tucked underneath—the effect is understated, elegant, cozy, and inviting."

Return to Romanticism
Romance is back, and it's all about what you feel, says Pom Pom at Home founder and CEO Hilde Leiaghat. "In reaction to the stiff, hotel-like linens that have been dominating the bedding industry as of late, bedding that adds texture, depth, and playfulness is quickly coming back into style," she says. Textured bedding has become increasingly popular, from ruffles and pleats to tufted and quilted designs.

Bold Wallpaper
According to a survey done by the New York Design Center, accent walls are on their way out. Instead, transform your bedroom by going big and covering the entire space in wallpaper. The serene guest suite seen here, designed by Rasheeda Gray for our 2023 Whole Home in Chicago, proves it's a bold step you won't regret.

More Moiré
While visiting Milan, designer Tara McCauley fell in love with the way gallerist Nina Yashar displayed contemporary brass pieces by Osanna Visconti in a room lined with aqua blue moiré silk. As a fan of moiré anywhere, McCauley uses it works for drapery, pillows, and even as a lining material for case goods.
"Moiré silk creates a rich sense of depth and movement without adding too loud a color contrast. I appreciate how a technique several centuries old works so well in a modern context, in both interiors and fashion," says McCauley.

Florals and Drapery
Designers are seeing a surge in floral wallpaper and drapery on windows and on furniture. For this year's Whole Home, designer Isabel Ladd transformed the primary bedroom into a colorful paradise using both techniques. The headboard and bed skirt are slipcovers to make it easy (and fun) to change the look of your bedroom as often as possible.
The lively wallpaper adds to the excitement. (You'll never wake up on the wrong side of the bed in here.) "The whole aesthetic is 'more is more; less is a bore,'" says Ladd.
