Your bedroom should be an oasis
within your home —a calm, refreshing

relax at the end of every day.
For some, this haven comes in the
form of a clean and simple design.
Fortunately, a minimalist bedroom
makeover doesn't have to break the
bank.

3. Classic Contrast
One way to create a spare look
in the bedroom is with the stark,
classic contrast of a black and
white color palette. Black
statement furniture or accent
items add a sophisticated focal
point that anchor the room,
while white details feel fresh.
This dramatic color scheme
instantly lends elegance to any
space.

4. Make a Statement
Start with clean white walls and then add a few
pieces of black furniture, like a dresser, bureau,
or shelving unit.Top the bed with a white
comforter and black and white throw pillows in
a bold, graphic print. Make a statement by
adding an all-black or black-accented
headboard with sharp lines and no frills.
Complete the look with smaller accents like
picture frames, jewelry holders or flower vases
in an elegant gold, or choose something bright
for a little pop of color. For a warmer spin on
this look, paint an accent wall in a subdued hue.

5. Minimalist Metal
For a different take on minimalism, try
modern wooden furniture with metal
hairpin legs. Maintain this look for
every major piece of furniture,
including your bed, dresser, and end
tables.
Choose lamp bases, picture frames, and
other accents in white or in the same
metal as your furniture legs for a clean,
cohesive look.

6. Kiss Clutter Goodbye
An airy, open space helps achieve a minimalist look, so
you'll want to keep clutter to a minimum. Utilize a simple
platform bed with built-in drawers and consider adding an
upholstered storage bench at the end of the bed or
underneath a window.
A row of canvas storage boxes or woven storage baskets
along the top shelf of a closet can also work wonders for
keeping clutter at bay.

7. Shelve Selectively
Save your stuffed bookshelves for your home office, library,
or reading room. In a minimalist bedroom, adorn your
shelves with a few of your favorite reads and then add other
well-chosen details that reflect your personality and
interests.
Part of eschewing clutter in your bedroom means you'll rely
on negative space as an element of your design aesthetic.

8. Perfect Plants
When it comes to bedroom plants, flora that's simple rather
than showy adds just the right minimalist touch. Opt for
more spare-looking plants like succulents, cactus, aloe,
snake plants, and bamboo.
Select flower vases and plant pots made of the same
material and color or in varying shades of the same color
family for a modern twist.

9. Treat Windows Right
As part of your minimalist bedroom aesthetic, your window
treatments shouldn't make a huge statement or be the
focal point of your space. Choose sheer curtains in a light or
neutral color for a clean effect.
If you prefer the light-blocking function of drapes, go for
solid colored over patterned, and keep sashes or tie-backs
as simple as possible.

10. Understated Flooring
The flooring of your bedroom is an important element in
completing your minimalist look. Compliment a black-and-
white color scheme with gray tile or a natural wood flooring
in a light color. Use natural, knotted wood flooring as the
perfect stage for an all-white room, and then add an area
rug in a neutral tone.
