[post_ads_2]2016 was another year where the world’s top interior designers put their efforts into creating some bedrooms that pushed the boundaries of what we can expect from our sleeping spaces.
Some designs kept it ultra-simple with a minimalist look that allowed the eye to feast on the 6ft mattress, and others made an effort to ramp up the style with gothic flourishes. But whatever direction people went in, it all made for some fascinating bedrooms!
[post_ads_2]Minimalism once again played a huge part of 2016’s bedroom aesthetic. Many designs sought an almost ‘hotel’ style simplicity that offered a contemporary feel with simple colour choices and state-of-the-art furniture.
The bedroom in the above photograph shows how a bold red colour palette can be used for devastating effect when placed against cool whites and some well-chosen pieces of mid-century modern furniture.
[post_ads_2]Others weren’t so taken in by the minimalist trend. Take this wonderfully ornate bedroom design that uses chandeliers, floor-length curtains and incredible window detail to summon up an other-worldly gothic glamour.
But what really makes this room work is the simple bed which provides the focal point for the design, and is a worthwhile reminder why a decent 6ft wide super king size bed from the likes of Bedstar can be an essential part of any bedroom design.
[post_ads_2]The Scandinavian trend was another big hit in 2016. This room takes the core themes of the Nordic design schemes to create a lovely light bedroom space.
With clean white walls, plenty of comforting wooden touches, and some lovely folk art inspired soft furnishings, it showed how we can all get a contemporary feel, without necessarily living in a sterile space.
[post_ads_2]And finally for the ultra-minimalist look, it was interesting to see how the Japanese trend is looking to add another option for design fans.
This offers a stripped back and symmetrical look that makes full use of natural lighting to illuminate the simple space for maximum impact. And although the idea of sleeping on a futon bed might be a little austere, you can make sure that it’s as comfortable as possible by getting a good 6ft mattress to add a real touch of luxury!
