We have scooped 13 bedroom remodel ideas for a modern aesthetic that are worth a steal. It is time to refresh your bedroom space with these ideas. 

1. Light Materials 

If you want to maintain a vibrant ambiance in a bedroom, the best way to go is by working with light materials. They help in enhancing the look of the room without spending too much. It is just right to be creative with researching and experimenting with these materials. In this case, the designer opted for laminated wood for the floors and the ceilings. Unifying the materials gave a sense of coordination to the entire space. Besides, there is a variety of wood laminates that you can work with that would not hurt your budget. 

2. Solid Color

If you prefer a budget-friendly remodel, having a fresh coat of paint dominate the entire space would work too. As seen from the inspiration above, we can see how matte black induced elegance without the need for grand and fancy materials. It made all the elements pop because of its dark and rich color. This idea is suitable for night owls who work through the night and sleep throughout the day. It minimizes the amount of natural light acquired by the space even without window treatments. 

3. Flowing Ceiling

What we love about modern designs is how they are sleek and extra. By the looks of fine edges and clean corners, you can easily tell the difference between modern and antiquated styles. As seen from the inspiration above, the ceiling flows down making it a headboard for the bed. By the looks of it, the bed draws more attention than any other element in the bedroom. This idea requires a lot of heavy lifting. Thus, you can either have someone help you build it or a professional can do it for you. The design of the flowing ceilings is up to you. Its customizable feature allows you to experiment with lighting, design, and geometry. 

4. Wall Moldings

If you want to keep things simple and straightforward, wood moldings are a popular choice for defining the width and length of the room. They are often surrounding the entire room. Whether it be of the same or different colors, they transform the entire aesthetic of a space. As seen in the inspiration above, wood moldings indicate a touch of antiquated farmhouse interiors. With the right color and finish, it defines the architectural style to be used. This is a brilliant idea if you do not want to settle with plainly painted walls. They create depth and make the wall look recessed. 

5. Unified Materials

If you want the entire room turned upside down, start with the composition of furniture. The material of the furniture matters on how the visual aspect of the space would turn out. As seen in the image above, they used the same finish of laminated wood on the entire set of furniture. What we love about this idea is how it would not give you a hard time paring one with the other. It is all about uniting the elements and fitting them together in a space. This will allow the design to adjust in terms of color, texture, and material. 

6. Fine Fixtures

Apart from the entire interior architecture of the bedroom, lighting is another significant element to transform. It is more than just the design but the impact of lighting spreading throughout the room. Look at the lighting fixtures surrounding the bedroom. They are impactful and fancy to look at. They come with main lighting and supplementary lighting for other activities. These adjustable bedside lighting fixtures help in making before-bed routines more manageable to do. This is also ideal if you prefer reading before going to bed. You would not need to turn on the main pendant lighting to read. On the side, we love the personal space with the armchair. It is next to a window taking all the natural light that it can. It makes it a sustainable choice in arranging the bedroom. Besides, it is where the functionality of the room depends on. That is what makes lighting an important part of the entire design. 

7. Recessed Accent Wall

Making a difference to your bedroom would suggest turning tables of how it would look after the remodeling project. What we love about the inspiration above is how the accent recessed wall draws more attention to the bed than any zone in the bedroom. Always be creative in designing your accent wall. It should only not make a difference to the design but as well as the vibe of the bedroom. Having vertical wooden panels layered on the accent wall indicated warmth and saturation from the vibrance of the space. Its linear arrangement takes a pause from the muted-colored walls. They help in defining the height of the bedroom. This enables the room to feel more light and airy like they are not congested from all the elements within. 

8. Creative Textures

Not because you are on a tight budget does not necessarily indicate that the design of the space should be compromised. We love introducing creative pieces and how much it contributes to the aesthetic of the space. What makes the inspiration above interesting is how paint is the only material that was used. The accent wall introduced textures and shadows to the flat and plain space. The coral blue color gave away a cooler environment for the space. This painting technique will not require many changes but require redoing the formula of the paint. 

9. Exposed Beams

Another simple yet impactful technique to remodel your bedroom is through exposing its structural elements. They work more than being the reinforcement of the space but it adds aesthetic value to the bedroom. In this case, the designer opted for engineered pieces of wood layered and arranged accordingly. It looks like a beam but it works on the aesthetic factor rather than structural. It is important to allow these elements to stand out. We understand uniformity in design but having something standout allows a refreshing environment for the remodeling project. Considering the vibrance look of the bedroom, the wooden beams added a little saturation for the space. 

10. Muted Palette

If you are torn between light and dark colors, having a muted palette would work effectively in dominating a space. It is safe to say how muted colors work as in between. The bedroom is a serene space inside the house. It is a space that suggests they are embraced or felt at home. Thus, making color an important element in the remodeling project. It would be best to take extra time in choosing which ones to work with. Color builds character and ambiance to the space. Choose a color that you can live with every day. 

11. Built-In Pieces

In the modern world, we see amazing creations that make everything easier to deal with. Considering how the bedroom is the last space we go to after a long and tiring day, we want to make everything convenient. In the inspiration above, you can see how the elements are flowing and are brought together. We love the backboard of the bed acting like a shelf and a bedside table. It may not be as moveable as the other typical elements but it makes a huge difference to the functionality and aesthetics of the space. 

12. Low-Laying Elements

It is not as popular as the other bedroom designs but low-laying pieces of furniture transform the space into whole new imagery. The height of the furniture makes the room look more vertically spacious. It keeps the bedroom look less congested. They are easier to purchase or to build. There may be no major changes to the entire design of the bedroom but this trick helps in improving the light and ventilation of the space. 

13. Duo Tones

When it comes to picking the color for your bedroom, working with complementing colors will help in knowing which areas stand out. The accent wall is in bold matte color. Having the light-colored bed and sheets attached to it highlights the bed zone. Light on dark color makes it pop without the need for additional elements. Even though the space is a combination of light and dark elements, they all manage to complement each other.
