Amid the madness—and mess-making—of decorating, present wrapping, and cookie baking, we’re willing to bet your personal space needs a little TLC (as do you!).
We’d also put money on the fact that, while your living room is lit up by the Christmas tree’s red and green sparkle, your neglected bedroom is starting to feel about as dull and gray as the winter forecast.
Luckily, this time of year isn’t just about celebration. It’s also about slowing down and reflecting on the year behind us and the one ahead.
In the name of our two favorite resolutions—rest and relaxation—we chose five looks to help you transform your bedroom into a bona fide retreat. These designs from Instagram are color-driven and come with just enough individual expression to help you take on whatever 2024 has in store.
Consider these five transformative bedroom looks to help you prepare for the new year.
1. Gothic bedroom
When it comes to the perfect balance of dark and whimsy for your post-holiday winter season, we love a good moody bedroom like this one from @lisa_loves_vintage.
A Gothic bedroom has roots in Victorian design elements like rich, layered fabrics and saturated colors on all surfaces. Accents in deep reds and purples with black or midnight blue and a vintage chandelier complete this aesthetic.
2. Bookish bedroom
If your winter plans consist of reading as many books as possible, then you’ll love this romantic and cozy bedroom from @______theo.
This look layers hints of white and gold with deep red and black for an engaging contrast. Start by painting an accent wall a deep color and place your favorite, largest piece of artwork in the center, then begin to fill it in with smaller items.
3. Cabin bedroom
Whether you live in a Shore home or a city-center apartment—this design from @rustandtrust will immediately transform your bedroom into a cozy space of wonder.
Texture and soft tonal hues make this bedroom so dreamy. Layers of faux furs over organic linens and velvet pillows, against a deep umber wall with a single large piece of artwork gives a masculine yet luxurious feel.
4. Midcentury modern
For a modern bedroom that’s anything but stuffy, look to this ultracozy and chic midcentury modern design from @chusedandco.
Terracotta-tone is set to take over 2024. This warm, earthy tone paired with a soft, muted blush acts like a photographer's beauty filter. The lush velvet comes to life when paired with classic striped pillows and checkerboard-finish nightstands for a classic modern appeal.
5. Artsy maximalist
You could also call this one The Kitchen Sink: can’t decide on a winter theme for your bedroom? Then don’t! This artsy maximalist look from @colourfulleopard has a little bit of everything and a whole lot of charm.
The overall design goal for this room is cozy comfort with layers upon layers of texture and patterns. Velvet headboard, pillows, plants, and an area rug all work together with different iterations of botanical patterns being repeated for a cohesive look.
