Do you feel like you lack the talent or skill set to create an aesthetic room from scratch? Don’t worry. Keep reading for our favorite aesthetic room ideas that will help you materialize the bedroom makeover of your dreams.

 1. Unfinished Walls For An Industrial Look

An industrial room can be a great way to achieve a modern look in your home. Whether unfinished walls of concrete or exposed brick, embracing the raw materials of an industrial space can give a great aesthetic.

Incorporating statement furniture and accent pieces with minimal accessories will create an industrial space that stands out from the crowd. Be careful not to overcrowd the room as this can have a cluttered effect; less is more when it comes to giving an industrial aesthetic to any room.

2. Scandinavian Furniture For A Modern-Eclectic Look

If you’re aiming for the minimalist yet cozy aesthetic of a Scandinavian living room, then consider incorporating minimalist furniture pieces such as Scandinavian chairs and tables. They often have an understated style, yet their simple outline can be just enough to give your living area the charm it needs.

Consider playing with colors too by taking inspiration from the classic Nordic palette of neutrals and natural tones such as peaceful blues, earthy oranges, and soft greens – they are great if you want to fit in with the overall minimalist look.

Finally, add lots of texture by accessorizing with some cushions and throws to make your home cozier than ever!

3. Dark Walls To Set The Mood

Creating a dark bedroom may seem like an intimidating undertaking, but it doesn’t have to be. Start by opting for dark walls and focusing on warm lightings such as lamps, abstract wall fixtures, floor lighting, or string lights.

Different shapes and styles of light sources can create a magical ambiance in your dark bedroom. Make sure the lighting is soft enough that you can still get restful sleep while letting you bask in darkly romantic bliss. You’ll be able to embrace the dark side without getting lost in it.

4. Add Plants For An Airy & Organic Feel

Creating a home filled with greenery can create a serene sanctuary for you to enjoy day after day. Start by potted plants in your room- from small succulents to potted wildflowers, there is something for every style preference! On the other hand, if potted plants don’t seem to fit the look of your room then try hanging varieties.

This could include using macrame plant hangers for a more bohemian feel or keeping it more classic with jute twine if desired. There is no wrong way to display your potted and hanging plants, so experiment until you find the look that makes you want to stay in your peaceful oasis!

5. Paint An Accent Wall

Are you looking for an interesting way to spruce up your room? Try color block walls or an accent wall! With color block walls, you can choose from vibrant colors such as lime green and magenta to create a statement in your room. An accent wall is a great way to take the color-blocking concept one step further.

Choose a color that contrasts well with the other colors in your space, or use a vibrant color to highlight a feature of the room. Paint color blocks on all four walls or just one wall—the choice is yours! With color block walls or an accent wall, you can turn any dull space into an exciting and creative living space!

6. Install Dramatic Lighting

With the right lighting, the atmosphere of a room can be greatly enhanced. To create an exciting and dramatic ambiance, fairy lights and LED strips are must-haves – these are easily draped around features or along walls to create an enchanting glow.

For further mood-lighting effects, carefully placed feature lamps equipped with warm lightbulbs can cast mysterious shadows about the room which is sure to captivate and intrigue. Don’t forget – with creative lighting, you don’t need much else to convey drama.

7. Hang Up Wall Art

When decorating a room with wall art, framed pieces are the perfect addition. They often come in a variety of sizes and materials to match any style. For those looking for a more Bohemian feel, you can adorn walls with rattan decorations or macrame art pieces.

If you feel overwhelmed, a great alternative is creating your own mood board – simply collect various printed images and hang them on a wall to create your own artwork. Wall art has the power to transform a space and turn it into an inviting area that expresses your personal style.

15. Get An Area Rug

A living room area rug is a great way to liven up your space! The area rug provides a visual anchor for couches, chairs, and other pieces of furniture that help you create your own unique and inviting area. It adds texture to the room, making it feel cozy yet open.

When choosing an area rug for your space, consider the size of the room and the furnishings that you want to include. You don’t want too small of an area rug where it feels like it’s getting in the way.

Make sure there’s enough open area around your furniture so everyone has enough walking space. With a little bit of thoughtfulness, you can create a beautiful area perfect for gatherings with family and friends!

Aesthetic Room FAQs

What does it mean for a room to be aesthetic?

An aesthetic room is one that looks nice. This term is popular among Generation Z and Millenials and is usually used to describe home decor that is trendy with teenagers, college students, and young adults.

There are no rules about what is and is not aesthetic. If you feel your home has an aesthetically pleasing layout, color palette, and decor, then it can be described as such.

How do you design an aesthetic bedroom on a budget?

Curating an uber-aesthetic room design isn’t very hard with an unlimited budget. But to bring an aesthetic bedroom to life without spending a fortune, turn to a fresh coat of paint or wallpaper. Look for used furniture to re-paint or upholster to match your room’s new color scheme. Freshen up basic bedding with a DIY throw pillow or blanket.

Printable wall art is easy to find on Etsy and other websites and doesn’t cost much to print out and frame. Complete your wall decor with a statement mirror — give an antique mirror an update with some spray paint.
