“Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art.” – Frank Lloyd Wright

Between catching up on shows and curling up to read in bed, you probably spend a lot of time relaxing in your bedroom. As much as you want an aesthetically pleasing room, it can be hard to unwind in a space overstuffed with zany design elements. Keeping it simple just might be the way to go.

It might feel like you have to give up your design style to embrace simplicity, but that’s where our simple bedroom ideas come in. Whether you’re all-in on minimalism or looking to tone down your boho decor, read on to see how you can uncomplicate your space.

Simple Bedroom FAQ

What should be in a minimalist bedroom?

Short answer? As little as possible. Your main staples are a bed, a bedside table, and some lighting. A dresser or clothes rack may also be necessary if you don’t have a closet. If it feels too bare, add some warmth with a plant or a single piece of art.

How can I make my bedroom look nice for cheap?

Hanging curtains near the ceiling instead of right above the window draws the eye upward and makes your ceilings appear higher and loftier. You could also swap boring dresser knobs for stylish ones and gather odds and ends on a tray instead of setting them directly on your dresser.

What is the most relaxing bedroom color?

Soft, nature-inspired tones are your best bet for creating a relaxing atmosphere. Sage green and pale blue are both excellent options—and of course, white walls serve as the perfect backdrop to any minimalist space.
