Bedroom Design Ideas for Every Decorating Style

First up, consider what kind of design style your bedroom decorating dreams are made of. Are rustic and cozy farmhouse bedroom ideas (think: your own personal heirloom quilt-filled hideaway, for example) more your cup of tea? Picture a place to display your personal collections, where every morning your feet hit a perfectly imperfect worn rug layered atop creaky hardwood floors.

In the primary bedroom in this Texas Hill Country farmhouse, homeowner Claire Zinnecker softened the home’s rustic edges with linen draperies that reach up to the 11-foot-high ceilings, then puddle to the floor. The dramatic effect “feels like you’re in a hotel,” Claire says. “I was hesitant at first to go with so much fabric because I love the large windows and the decorative trim,” she adds.

In this Georgia farmhouse, sophisticated gray-brown floral wallpaper from Farrow & Ball mimics the hue of the weathered ceiling beams and offers a feminine (but not frilly) foil to the room's rustic elements. Formerly a park bench, the piece at the foot of the comfortable tufted bed features someone's nearly faded, hand-carved initials.Upstairs in this Mississippi farmhouse, visitors can tuck in to a black spool bed outfitted in ticking stripe linens, an ivory coverlet, and a mossy velvet pillow. Two sconces in charcoal-print shades allow more room for the leafy-skirted nightstand to accommodate a green lacquered tray and amber vase. The framed “Waterfowl of the Mississippi Flyway” print by Ryan Kirby is right at home above the mantel. Finally, a collection of five dapper gents hangs tough above the bed like an old-timey boy band.

Homeowners Claire Zinnecker and Adam Mink built the wall behind the headboard using wood salvaged from other parts of their Texas Hill Country farmhouse. The boards are sealed to let the original sage-tinged colors come through. Claire also cozied up the room with a double wedding ring quilt sewn by her grandmother. Books, family photos, and other treasured finds round out the collected look.
