A modern bedroom may sound cold and sterile, but the results are often incredibly inviting. With the right elements—including vibrant colors, soft textures, and warm wood furnishings—modern design can feel right at home in a primary suite or guest room. These tranquil retreats take advantage of natural light for a bright and airy feel and pare down furnishings to the essentials to create an uncluttered spot for relaxation. We’ve gathered bedrooms in homes from New York to Hong Kong that use streamlined pieces and minimalist layouts to beautiful effect. Below, find modern bedroom ideas from spaces by designers such as Shawn Henderson, Waldo Fernandez, and Amy Lau. There’s no doubt they’ll inspire you to put a contemporary twist on your own bedroom.
