1. OVERLY GLOSSY PAINT FINISHES
Whether you're doing a bedroom accent wall or the entire room, along with choosing the right color, it's important to also choose the correct paint finish. 'Be very careful of glossy finishes,' says Bethany Adams, founder of Bethany Adams Interiors. 'They have to be applied to a perfect substrate (think brand new drywall or freshly installed millwork) to look good since the glossier a paint is, the more it will show any imperfection. If you live in an older home, stick to pearl or satin for your trim instead.'
2. SYNTHETIC BEDDING
The answer to the question: how to get a good night's sleep lies in the bedding. The quality of the sheets, the thread count, the softness of the duvet, and the firmness of the mattress, all play a key role. So while selecting these essential elements, remember to choose ones that aid sleep and also look stylish.
3. VISCOSE AND POLYESTER CURTAINS
While speaking of fabrics, give the bedroom curtain materials a thought too. Choose ones that look plush while also efficiently moderating light in the room.
4. STRONG GEOMETRICAL PATTERNS
Your choice of prints can also change how expensive your bedroom looks. 'We’ve noticed a shift away from strong geometrical patterns like chevrons and squares,' says Joshua. 'There’s been a strong migration to organics and clean designs in terms of fabrics and patterns.'
5. TOO MUCH FURNITURE
And finally, when it comes to modern bedroom furniture, you want to ensure that all the pieces in the room serve a purpose and are not crowding the room, making it feel cluttered and chaotic. 'Measure the size of your bed and select a wall that fits both the bed and one or two night tables keeping in mind that a small night table can attach to your wall if your space is limited,' says Julia Mack, founder of Julia Mack Design. 'Add a modern bedroom furniture piece such as a vertical dresser instead of a long, low horizontal version to maximize open floor space and include a chair of any size.'
