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."The whole aesthetic is 'more is more; less is a bore,'" says Ladd.
