Design tips for decorating a beige style primary bedroom
Here’s how to achieve the beige aesthetic room of your dreams.What’s the best way to design and decorate a beige primary bedroom?
Whether you are designing for yourself or someone else, primary bedrooms should be cozy and comfortable, providing a space to unwind, recharge, and escape the chaos of the world. Even if your typical design style is more maximalist, primary bedrooms usually lean more minimalist to offer a serene backdrop for a good night’s sleep. Primary bedroom layouts are also more simple. The square footage of your primary bedroom and size of your bed frame will typically dictate the best layout.
Whether you're in the process of a primary bedroom remodel or looking to makeover your existing one, these are the key elements to include in your design:|
- Paint or Wallpaper: Bedroom walls set the mood for the space. Select a color or pattern that complements the style you want to achieve. We are partial to covering walls, ceilings, and trim in a uniform paint color to create a cohesive look. Or consider an accent wall to serve as a focal point.
- Bed: The bed is the centerpiece and typical focal point of any bedroom, providing a comfortable and restful place to sleep. It typically includes a mattress, bed frame, and headboard. Your beige style can really shine by selecting bedding (sheets, duvet covers, and pillows) that match the aesthetic.
- Nightstands: Nightstands (or bedside tables) are small tables or cabinets placed on either side of the bed. They provide a convenient surface for placing bedside lamps, alarm clocks, books, and other personal items. Pro tip: Bedside tables should be placed 2-4 inches from the bed frame and no more than 24 inches deep (any deeper and it can be pretty uncomfortable to get in and out of bed). If you choose to add a table lamp or a sconce, keep in mind the depth of the light to ensure you have enough space on the bedside table.
- Area Rug: It’s common to include an area rug in a bedroom for extra warmth and coziness. There are three common layout options for rugs in the bedroom. Option 1, place the bed and nightstands entirely on the rug. Option 2, place ⅔ of the bed on the rug, with 24 inches extending beyond the sides of the bed. Option 3, place two runners along each side of the bed (the runners should be wider than the bedside tables, if possible).
- Decorative Lighting: Combine task, ambient, and accent lighting for a layered lighting scheme. Typically in a bedroom, you’d want a flush surface mount or chandelier on the ceiling and wall-mounted sconces or table lamps on each side of the bed. Consider the placement of lighting fixtures to eliminate shadows and evenly light the space. Dimmer switches can adjust the mood.
- Curtains or Blinds: In bedrooms, window treatments are not just design statements. They help promote a restful sleep environment, while also adding a layer of privacy and warmth. Opting for blackout or heavy, lined curtains can enhance these effects, making them perfect for ensuring comfort and tranquility. Don’t forget a curtain rod!
- ** Bedroom Decor**: From accent pillows and throw blankets to bedside table lamps and wall art, bedroom accessories should be both functional and decorative. Coordinate the color and pattern with the overall bedroom color scheme and style to bring your design vision to life.

How do you decorate with beige?
Beige is a timeless and versatile color that brings a sense of warmth, neutrality, and sophistication to any space. Beige serves as an excellent neutral color palette
foundation for a primary bedroom. Beige walls, flooring, or large furniture pieces can provide a calm and balanced backdrop for your overall design.
To prevent a beige-dominated space from feeling flat or monotonous, consider incorporating different textures. Beige pairs beautifully with natural elements, such as wood, rattan, or stone. Mix and match materials like linen, velvet, or woven fabrics to add depth and visual interest. This can be done through throw pillows, area rugs, curtains, or upholstery. The combination of textures will create a cozy, organic, and inviting ambiance, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your space.
Beige comes in various shades, ranging from light and creamy to deeper and richer tones. Experiment with different shades of beige to create depth and dimension in your design. Lighter shades can make a space feel airy and open, while darker shades can add a sense of coziness and intimacy.
Beige can also provide a neutral canvas for accent colors to shine. Consider adding pops of color through accessories, artwork, or statement furniture pieces. Vibrant hues like teal, navy blue, or mustard yellow can create a striking contrast against the neutral backdrop of beige, adding personality and visual excitement to your primary bedroom.
