Chic, Contemporary Bedroom Interior Design Ideas

Contemporary bedrooms can be, unless you're very careful, devoid of any character, and while the sleek, clean lines and minimalistic approach is wonderfully stylish, it has to be said that it doesn't suit all types of homes.

This may be stating the obvious, but it's surprising how many people try and cram a super king sized bed into a room which is too small! To be contemporary, in the true sense of the style, you need a large bedroom to get the look right. There's little point in tying to use contemporary interior design ideas unless you have sufficient space to do them justice, you'd be better off simply creating a chic, modern bedroom.

If you do have a large bedroom then contemporary styling is perfect, adopt the ethos of the style and you'll create a bedroom which is spacious and elegant. To add the all important character include plenty of different textiles and materials. Use plain superking duvet covers, those with a satin sheen will provide a reflective surface, and use contrasting coloured bed throws to add another dimension to the room.

Don't forget to ground your colour scheme by using large rugs, placing them either at the end or away from the bed itself to really achieve a contemporary look. Rugs placed either side of the bed look great in other interior design styles, but not in contemporary!

Whether you include any pattern in the bedroom is entirely a matter of personal preference, if your bedding and flooring is plain contemporary wall art is a stylish way to include pattern if you want to add further areas of interest into the room.
