The bedroom isn’t just a place to sleep. For many people, the bedroom moonlights as a space where you can express yourself, get creative and design a personal sanctuary. If you’re tired of your bedroom and want to kick off 2022 with a new aesthetic, check out our inspiring list of unique bedroom ideas to motivate you.

From ordering custom bed linen to embracing trends like “grandmillennial” and “cottagecore”, read on for six ways to be bold and create a unique bedroom that you’ll love.

1. Get creative with unique bedding

No matter what the size, the bed is the centrepiece of any bedroom. While statement headboards are a fun way to make an impact, if you’re looking for something different try getting creative with unique bedding. Why settle for a run-of-the-mill pattern from IKEA or M&S when you could enjoy made-to-measure bed linen that’s as unique as you?

With thousands of different fabrics to choose from, we can bring your unique bedroom ideas to life. If you love the texture and softness of French flax linen, why not let us create a custom bed linen set, complete with sheets, pillow shams and a duvet cover?

Embroidered and embellished fabrics can be a fantastic way to bring texture and dimension to your bedroom. For extra drama, add matching cushions and curtains to create a seamless look.

The process is easier than you might think, with our sales team available to offer support, guidance and even expert interior décor advice, if you need a little extra help. Once you’ve selected your fabrics, our workshop team will get started on your bespoke bedding.

2. Make a statement with wallpaper

Wallpaper is back - and it’s one of the best ways to revamp your bedroom. Keep things classic with muted florals and textured patterns or go bold with colour pops and abstract designs. Whatever your style, wallpaper is a guaranteed way to reimagine your space. Nature-inspired wallpaper is set to have a moment in 2022, with interior designers coveting patterns featuring leaves, flowers and even animals.

3. Rich colours

Whites and creams are always a safe option when it comes to decorating bedrooms. But if you really want to make a statement, why not be brave and opt for rich colours like sapphire blue, garnet red or forest green? Painting your walls in these luxuriant shades is a great way to create a unique bedroom.

If you don’t want to commit to the entire room or are worried things could feel a bit dark, settle for a single feature wall. We get it, painting in these opulent shades is a big step. So, if you want to stick with neutral walls, you can always recreate this look with colourful and unique bedroom décor, like jewel-toned bed linen, throw cushions, curtains, carpets and other upholstery.

4. Size up with an Emperor bed

Nothing says “luxury” like an Emperor bed. The largest mattress size in the UK, Emperor mattresses measure an impressive 200cm x 200cm. Talk about regal dimensions. These enormous mattresses call for Emperor bed linen, as standard linen simply doesn’t offer enough coverage. Our extra-large bed linen range is designed to fit Emperor mattresses like a glove.

5. Mix and match styles

If you’re tired of the same old matching bedroom suite, it could be time to embrace the eclectic movement. Gone are the days when ‘catalogue style’ bedrooms were considered on-trend. Contemporary designers say injecting charm and personality into your spaces is now one of the top unique bedroom ideas.

So, why not replace your outdated bedside tables with a pair of unique nightstands sourced from your local thrift or antique store? With a good sanding and a lick of paint, you can instantly create an eclectic look.

6. Get onboard with trends like “grandmillennial” and “cottagecore”

Today, young designers are embracing a variety of different styles and eras. For example, the “grandmillennial” movement has seen young people in their 20s and 30s starting to covet supposedly “outdated" styles like embroidered pillows, floral Laura Ashley prints and antique furniture.

This unique bedroom décor idea takes cues from the “cottagecore” aesthetic which romanticises life in the countryside. This style embraces decorating ideas like knitted throws strewn over your bed, floor-length linen curtains blowing in the breeze, dried flowers on the mantlepiece, twinkling fairy lights strung across the doorway, and earth-toned walls.

With so many unique bedroom decorating ideas to experiment with, there’s no reason why your bedroom can’t be bold.
