Bedrooms are meant to relax us… and if yours isn’t doing the job, there’s definitely something missing. Something that just doesn’t sit well. And that means it’s time to focus your design eye on finer things—details that add true luxury.
Add Glimmering Accents
Allow subtle gilded details to do the talking. If you’ve got tall ceilings, don’t miss the opportunity to hang a lovely antique crystal chandelier. Gold accents look equally beautiful. Dressers with gold drawer fronts. Antique-inspired side tables. Vintage mirrors. Gold hardware. Gold-trimmed vases. There’s really a lot to explore!
Embrace Dramatic Palettes
Neutrals are a forever favorite, but can’t beat darker palettes. The unique twist a dramatic color scheme offers—it’s unmatched.
Not just any dark color, though. The “elite” shades, particularly. What are they? Find below.
- Jewel tones (emerald green, deep burgundy, rich eggplant)
- Bold black (balanced with lighter tones)
- Trending colors of 2025 (navy blue, teal, etc.)
Make a Statement with Lighting
Select a light fixture that doubles as artwork. Designers often call lighting the jewelry of a room; so don’t be afraid to choose something shiny ✨ More commonly than not, you will find that opulent bling in designer pieces.
Layer Luxurious Textures
Introducing texture is one thing; trying unlikely pairings of textures is another. It creates a one-of-a-kind luxury bedroom design. One that blends seamlessly into any design style. We love the idea of a velvet bed frame paired with cushions in distressed leather. Even a simple scarf hanging from a fancy hook would do the job, really.
Invest in Handcrafted Furniture
Expensive furniture looks lovely, but where’s the character? You find it in iconic, handcrafted pieces. It’s an investment that adds value like none other. Simply timeless, and so unique 🤍
Lay Out Plush Bedding
The foundation of the room. A feature that catches the eye right when you enter the room—and relaxes every inch of the body when you cuddle up under the sheets. It deserves utmost importance.
Select a statement bed. Top with a good mattress. Layer it with the best bedding (sheets with good thread count; a cozy comforter + duvet; extra cushions & pillows). Don’t forget a throw blanket, and relaxing scents.
Add a Gallery Wall
A gallery wall can go anywhere, but it looks incredibly opulent in a bedroom. Our Arizona-based interior designer suggests keeping it behind the headboard—especially if the bed is minimal. A mix of mirrors and framed artwork looks absolutely stunning. Keep the layout symmetrical for a neat, cozy vibe.
Color-Drench It
If artwork in the bedroom isn’t your thing, use colors instead. Drench the room in calming hues; blue being a popular favorite for relaxing spaces. Pull off a bold, blue accent wall, and if that, too, feels too dramatic for your liking, subtle additions, like cushions, rugs, or curtains, will do the trick. You see, everything is customizable 😉
Carve Out A Couples Area
Another way to design a calming bedroom. Create a dedicated corner to enjoy special moments with your significant other. A settee or two looks luxurious, and is super useful. It provides a space to unwind that’s in the room, but isn’t the bed. Bonus points for additional details, like a lamp and knitted throw.
Hide Clutter
There’s one thing you notice in every luxury bedroom: there is no clutter, not even one bit. Embrace the same in your bedroom. Tuck away excess clothing, linens, and trinkets. Focus on the essentials. Find ways to present them in the best way possible (decorative baskets, wall-mounted shelves, multi-purpose furniture, etc.).
Look to Nature
Take cues from nature—a great designer. The color palette. The decor. The scents. Follow nature for everything. No wonder why biophilic bedrooms are becoming so popular. Warm palettes, sustainable decor, and organic materials. Homeowners are loving it.
Make Relaxation a Priority

Your bedroom should exude a sense of grandeur, while projecting a sense of calm. Design it in a way to make it feel a little off-limits to everyone—as if it’s a privilege to enter 😍 Now, there are quite a few ingredients to work with when aiming for that vibe. Think…
- Layered rugs
- Layered lighting
- Luxe bedding
- Comfortable seating
- Meaningful decor
- Soft textures
- Relaxing scents
Expand the Dressing Room
Can you really have a luxurious bedroom without an opulent dressing room? Dedicate a corner of the room to a chic dresser, and see how dressing up and winding down becomes so much more glamorous.
Don’t Forget A Walk-in Closet
Of course. It’s as important as the dressing area. Not only because it looks luxe, but also because it’s the best way to give your essentials a beautiful home.
Enhance Natural Views
A spa-like environment is always linked to nature. Bump out a wall to replace it with floor-to-ceiling windows. Install motorized blinds, and schedule them to open every morning at the time of your alarm. You’ll notice how much happier you wake up every single day ☀️
If the view outside your window isn’t the most picturesque, add plants on the inside/outside. It’s a small change, but makes a big impact.
Play with Pastels
Pastel hues aren’t only for kids’ rooms and look stunning in adult sleep areas, too. A soft mint fabric couldn’t look more beautiful when paired with white window and floor coverings.
Layer Your Rugs

Some define luxury as blingy & new. Others take it as cozy & soft. If you’re a part of the latter crowd, you will love this design idea. It’s not the most common. We usually see a single rug. Not multiple together—and never 3 to 4 layered over each other. But that’s where true luxury lies. Different shapes, different materials, different colors rolled out as layers.
Try Luxury Bedside Lamps
Bedside lamps are a 2-in-1 design element. Illumination and aesthetics, together. They set the mood with soft light, and enhance visual appeal just by sitting there.
A pair of two lamps flanking each side of the bed is a traditional approach. The latest trends also welcome asymmetry in the bedroom. Like if you share a room with someone; one wants a boho-inspired pendant, the other wants an expensive, modern table lamp. That’s not an issue. It’s an opportunity. You’d be surprised to see how perfect an asymmetrical lighting scheme can turn out—if designed carefully.
Create a Bedroom Lounge Area
A full-fledged living space within the bedroom? Yes. That’s a key element of luxurious rooms. Add a step stool (for a cozy factor) and a centerpiece over the coffee table (to keep things formal). Don’t forget a rug; we want to define the sleeping area from the lounging area. And if you’ve got enough space, mount a TV in there, too. It adds to the luxurious vibe. Dramatically.
Embrace Neoclassical Bedroom Luxury
A tall headboard wall against classic panel molding. Gracefully arched bedroom windows. Stunning chandelier. A traditional ceiling rose. That’s neoclassical design style for you. Balance it with modern features. We’d say minimal furniture silhouettes and abstract art. So simple to design yet so luxurious to the eye.
Customize the Trim
If bold, dark palettes don’t match your personality, you can express yourself through a neutral color scheme. The secret is to keep the rest of the decor interesting; customized bedroom trimmings being a great design twist here. Sprinkle some gold accents—& enjoy the magic 💫
