Feather & Black
reveals five top
interior trends
destined to be
staples of bedroom
design in the
coming months
Our bedrooms are a sanctuary, a precious
space where we relax and take care of
ourselves. To create a harmonious,
aesthetically pleasing, and practical haven,
bedroom expert Laura Burnett from Feather &
Black reveals five top interior trends destined to
be staples of bedroom design in the coming
months.
1.Wooden accents
Rustic décor is a simple yet classic style choice
for bedrooms. Much loved by interior enthusiasts,
Pinterest searches for ‘rustic bedroom’ have risen
by 203% since December 2022.
Wooden accents in the bedroom are
wonderfully elegant and inviting, and it doesn’t get
any more luxurious than rustic weathered oak.
With gentle neutrality, weathered oak is the
perfect choice for unassuming sophistication.
Whether you fall in love with a beautiful,
weathered oak bed or an utterly stylish bedside,
wooden accents add refinement to any rustic
bedroom.
2. Farmhouse style
The farmhouse aesthetic encompasses the
rustic, wooden style and brings it to life.
Worldwide Pinterest searches for ‘farmhouse
décor’ have risen 63% over the past three months,
highlighting the growing popularity of the style.
The rise in interest has been attributed to the
blend of a rustic style and contemporary beauty
that farmhouses offer. To incorporate this style into
your living space, start with soft and light tones,
whether this is for your curtains, a rug or carpet,
or bedding and compliment them with darker,
wooden tones for elements of furniture.
3. Rattan
The rattan style has been steadily growing in
recent months, with searches for ‘rattan furniture’
rising 316%. Whether it’s a side table, bed or
wardrobe, rattan products offer a natural texture
that can elevate your space. The warm and soft
tones offer a sense of comfort that makes it a
popular option for many.
4. Accent wall
Splashes of colour, a beautifully stencilled design,
and ornate wall panelling – indulging with an
accent wall in your bedroom has enduring appeal.
Interest in accent walls has risen by 69% over the
last three months on Pinterest, in fact.
Accent walls allow you to express your truest
style without committing to a full transformation.
Wonderful innovations in this trend include almost
infinite configurations of wall panelling, mouldings,
and cladding to suit any number of interior styles.
Why not take the opportunity to add built-in
bedside conveniences? Mood lighting or useful
USB ports add a touch of opulence to your
bedtime routine, without the worry of unsightly
wires. Once the panelling has taken shape, drench
it in irresistibly cosy vanilla tones to add dimension
and warmth.
5. 1970s style
Oh, the 1970s. The resurgence in this retro
trend doesn’t stop at clothing and fashion –
interiors are firmly on the rise too. 1970sbedroom-related
terms have seen a 78% increase
according to Pinterest Trends.
Succulent earth tones are an incredibly
important element of this trend, particularly when
placed alongside coloured patterns and textures.
Muted oranges, rich greens and warm browns
evoke instant nostalgia and pair beautifully with
tactile wooden accents such as rattan or shiplap.
Combine these warm toasty elements with
fringed curtains, cushions or lampshades, and
weave in touches of gold for unbridled 70s flair.
