We painted the walls with a pale grey limewash plaster, which coordinated nicely with some simple Gustavian furniture.' 6. We mounted the drapery up to the ornate crown molding to accentuate the ceiling height and sourced a mix of vintage mid-century German and French furniture. The home had great bones and tall ceilings but was very narrow. ![]() 'This is the primary bedroom in a pre-war Berlin apartment. A room might have inherently beautiful views or a historical envelope, there might be paneling or plaster, and soft, layered lighting is key,' says Keren Richter, co-founder, principal designer at White Arrow. 'In a minimal bedroom, the visual interest comes from layered texture, clean and simplified lines and shapes, and a mix of luxurious materials or thoughtfully chosen art and furniture that can hold its own visual weight in a sparsely decorated space. So look at the silhouettes and textures, what will they bring to the space? Much like minimalist living rooms, minimalist bedrooms often have a very elevated look as there are fewer furnishings within the room however those pieces are carefully chosen for the space so every piece of furniture or decor adds something to the room. And it doesn't mean bare eitherĪs Victoria mentions, the less-in-more approach is a big part of the minimalist style, and that means each piece you bring into your bedroom needs to be really considered. ![]() You wouldn't normally associate a red and black bedroom color scheme with minimalism, but this room proves minimalist style can work with any room color palette, it's more about the shapes and styles of the furniture, and the use of pared back decor. 'The classic off-whites such as Shaded White with give you a delicate foil for your chosen furniture and art through to the grey/ pale mint of Mizzle which is a great choice for an east-facing room whilst dramatic darks such as Railings, Down Pipe or Hopper Head will create a striking backdrop to an otherwise sparse space and art will absolutely pop!' he adds. The very aesthetic of minimalism is a lack of clutter and very considered curation – your chosen color, be it dark, mid-weight, or light will only flatter and unify your chosen elements!' Minimalism has become synonymous with a neutral color palette, but as Patrick O'Donnell of Farrow & Ball rightly says, 'Minimalism is determined not by the color but the specific and limited curation within the space so choosing color is ultimately flexible depending on your personal choice and likes but do consider the natural lighting coming into your bedroom and make this your start point.
