Contemporary Bedroom

The black and gold color palette in this bedroom is particularly contemporary and cool, as is the intricate wall paper and leather padded headboard. I love the Greek key patterns on the bedding, too.

The built-in closets create a neat alcove for the bed in this very contemporary bedroom. A chic neutral palette and painted brick wall combine for a unique, invigorating space.

An unusual, but eye-catching pendant light looks right at home in this cool blue and white bedroom. The floral patterned bedding and lively wall paper go well with the minimal design of the furnishings.

This designer's bedroom features a clever mix of old and new. The contemporary mahogany bed frame and Indian silk bedspread create a rich, luxurious place to rest one's head.

The varying shades of purple in this lovely bedroom are unexpected, yet sophisticated. The birdcage wall decals and Chinoiserie bedding are perfectly feminine, elegant accents.

Serene shades of green and a crisp, contemporary style make this bedroom a wonderful place to end the day. The unique golden pendant light and zen table lamps lend a classic feel to the room.

The eclectic mix of furniture and a warm mustard and white color palette make this bedroom a lovely getaway for guests. The tulip chair, in particular, is a fun touch.

The high gloss ceiling in this bedroom is certainly contemporary, and adds a unique dimension to a conventional space.†Images†1†|†2†|†3†|†4†|†5†|†6†|†7†|†8

Bedroom Inspiration

Still working on convincing the Hubby we should redo our room. We have yet to ever get new furniture for it and our current bed is one my Hubby got in college, but we've been using the old guest bed lately. We were wanting to upgrade to a king size bed but I think our room is a little too small for one. Our bedding was what we registered for when we got married. I like it, but our dogs have ruined the embroidery that covers it. Plus it's polyester, so it doesn't breathe well. Come summer time in Texas, that sucker is hot! So I've switched to a white duvet with a tan coverlet.

I have been in love with some of these photos I found on Pinterest. Most of them have white bedding & upholstered headboards. I've been wanting our master to feel like a five star hotel and to have a big fluffy duvet.  I love in the first ones that they are pretty neutral but with aqua.  We know I'm also a sucker for a soft aqua. I think the color palette would be relaxing and soothing.


I love the tone on tone look in this next set. Even though they are all white & beige they don't come across boring or bland. 

I would really like our bedroom not to be overly girlie (I think my hubby would like that even more!), but have more of a masculine/feminine balance. I am loving the side tables in the Candice Olsen room above. I think she did a nice job of balancing the masculine/feminine feel in the room.

I was planning on DIY-ing a headboard, but then I got this guy as a Christmas present!
 It came from Joss & Main, they are this awesome online discount store. Each day they just have certain things, mainly home stuff. And once they are out, it's gone. But you can get some great prices. I believe the headboard was $199?

I haven't put it up yet. I need to get one of those metal frames and a bed skirt. So it's just hanging out at the foot of our bed. I still haven't decided to go blue or neutral with the walls. The first accent pillow fabric I've picked up is just tan/brown/white. Leaning towards neutral so our house "doesn't look like a beach house", per my hubby's request.
