<p dir="ltr">Minimalism as a lifestyle is about keeping what you need and letting go of the rest. Minimalism as an interior design style embodies this same principle. It&rsquo;s focused on creating functional, organized, and clutter-free spaces.</p>
<p dir="ltr">By focusing on functionality and organization, you&rsquo;ll make the upkeep of your home easier. Everything will have its place, and with less clutter, you&rsquo;ll spend less time tidying up.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Freeing your space of clutter can also free your mind from overstimulation, a design feature that&rsquo;s especially beneficial in the bedroom as you wind down from your day.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you&rsquo;re ready to bring this style into your sleep space, these seven minimalist bedroom ideas will transform your room into a calm, clutter-free zone.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">7 minimalist bedroom ideas for subtle, soothing style</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Minimalist design is an offshoot of <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/scandinavian-interior-design">Scandinavian interior design</a>. It focuses on clean lines and (not surprisingly) minimal orientation. This style is subtle.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">It typically uses neutral color palettes and then adds visual interest by layering textiles and other natural materials like wood, rather than incorporating bold pops of color. Layered textiles work beautifully in the bedroom where throw blankets, throw pillows, and window treatments can all add comfortable textures.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Minimalist design is also practical and functional. So before you pick out your favorite minimalist bedroom ideas, ask yourself, &ldquo;What do I need to be comfortable in this space?&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Maybe you need a way to store your off-season clothes. Maybe you need a nightstand with enough room for a reading lamp and a couple of favorite books. You&rsquo;ll almost certainly need a bed frame if you don&rsquo;t have one already.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Use the minimalist style to curate a space that&rsquo;s functional for your day-to-day life. Here are seven ideas to bring the minimalist aesthetic and lifestyle into your bedroom.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Choose a minimalist bedroom set</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bedroom/Trenton-Bedroom-Set/225061Q-S5"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcEEiD187dfx_7KOnz2bBPNP3RgyoyNavcxH7Nu-s1607zGXuFfIkhRGbyLQbsjHYYUwFTu8GJI7g4xSI8uKbu-NlrUrps6KAbq0Ddrm3cCJp2nwRc6VKZfLWK7-AwMqStobUOV7g?key=eGJ125_PHWqgDNrzWPuM2Ynw" width="624" height="445"></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">You can minimize your mental load by choosing a bedroom set, rather than picking out each piece of bedroom furniture separately. Look for a set in a light neutral tone with clean-lined geometric silhouettes. And consider how many pieces you need to fill your space and provide enough storage.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In a small bedroom, you may need a smaller 3- or 4-piece set. But in a shared master bedroom, you may need an extra storage chest &mdash; like in the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bedroom/Trenton-Bedroom-Set/225061Q-S5">Trenton 5-Piece Bedroom Set</a> &mdash; to give both partners enough clothing storage. The light cream color of the Trenton set is also a perfect match for a minimalist, monochromatic color scheme with white walls.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Add texture with an upholstered bed frame</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bedroom/Wilshire-Upholstered-Panel-Bed/315981Q"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfAWSCDedqhXyvQuxuqU-X1uaZPYWPEjI7P-NYERuQ0_c-4Cx7mrnb3UlDark7kzinQhmB4qAxud41ypUvoTsEkhmUIteVYqzKrJsnabkGhIyRM8Tsz-wnRYbVby421MG2uSBc5VQ?key=eGJ125_PHWqgDNrzWPuM2Ynw" width="624" height="459"></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">To add more visual interest to your space, choose a textured headboard or bedframe. Stick to a silhouette with clean lines and let the texture do all the talking. This will add an understated design element that&rsquo;s true to the minimalist aesthetic but still makes a big impact on your space.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The plush design and organically pleated fabric on the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bedroom/Wilshire-Upholstered-Panel-Bed/315981Q">Wilshire Upholstered Queen Platform Bed</a> make this bed frame stand out as the centerpiece of a minimalist room. Grey upholstery also pairs well with a neutral color palette, especially if your other home decor has <a href="https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/color-insights/warm-and-cool-colors">cool tones</a>.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Pick a bed with built-in nightstands</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bedroom/Terrace-Wood-Wall-Panel-Storage-Bed/224900Q-S3P"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfgRKK84tvxseg7q7_yi3ngRSEqgnoR7WnMs3ooDjiD0RZxOAWYpB2kYEna3q7TM866WG1OHv2idROEFiexiY8jufeWHqlsg7azwdIi1AB64ThfuWqW20WIZgijEyHJpkAKEXka?key=eGJ125_PHWqgDNrzWPuM2Ynw" width="624" height="583"></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">For the ultimate minimalist design idea, add three pieces of bedroom furniture in one. This is the minimalist philosophy of &ldquo;doing more with less&rdquo; embodied in your bedroom decor.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A panel bed design where the bedside tables are built into the headboard &mdash; like you see in the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bedroom/Terrace-Wood-Wall-Panel-Storage-Bed/224900Q-S3P">Terrace Wall Panel Storage Bed</a> &mdash; can make your space feel cohesive. Because one piece of bedroom furniture flows into the next, you have less visual clutter.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Terrace Bed also features a wood finish. Natural materials, like wood, will help your minimalist design feel warm and cozy. They help you avoid one of the biggest potential pitfalls of <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/minimalist-interior-design">minimal interior design</a>, which is creating a space that feels cold and impersonal.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Set boundaries with a boxy bedframe</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bedroom/Alamosa-Upholstered-Wingback-Bed/310078Q"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeFGYwnAeACeUQOHzKD3_VCjLJ--uFsVEjLMqLGovOEsKE69S3O-Y11ariNDk81vqZlCbisD2y_pyr_gO59v5vfc39paxLYeyn5ZzsFR0loBumdrZJYxzXyTUasRKJekv_DAAfZ?key=eGJ125_PHWqgDNrzWPuM2Ynw" width="624" height="445"></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Clean lines are a signature element of minimalist design, so square and rectangular silhouettes reign supreme. A tall rectangular headboard adds height in your minimalist space and draws the eye upward, which can highlight your wall art or help you go without in spaces with lower ceilings.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Boxing in your bed with a wingback bedframe extends the lines, adding subtle drama to a minimalist bedroom. It also makes your bed feel like a separate, small space, which adds coziness to your design.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">The <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bedroom/Alamosa-Upholstered-Wingback-Bed/310078Q">Alamosa Boucle Upholstered Wingback Bed</a> is proof that a wingback design can work in a modern bedroom. The white upholstery complements neutral color schemes.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">5. Incorporate more storage with a trunk</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Trunks-%26-Cedar-Chests/Laughton-Storage-Trunk/500215"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe8zN8YjfbeFmxmVeRUgwa_QR9hv-oXNE6GJyi1KK_rVaaXUofbGLSC0rNtLnFfvtkMLybRHTi5XUue-smKf_GXJuS6meP22Bk7hE3sFtEUIVzxxhwaazf3AddZZdbBOITQRPI_?key=eGJ125_PHWqgDNrzWPuM2Ynw" width="624" height="499"></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Placing a trunk at the foot of your bed provides convenient storage to help declutter your space. Traditionally, used to store off-season clothes, a trunk can clear space in your closet and make it easier to access the clothes you do need this season. If your home doesn&rsquo;t have a linen closet, a trunk is also a good place to keep extra sheets, blankets, and pillows.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You can use your trunk to add additional textiles and natural materials to your bedroom design. Incorporate a wood trunk, boucle trunk, or even a woven trunk, like the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Trunks-%26-Cedar-Chests/Laughton-Storage-Trunk/500215">Laughton Hand-Woven Banana Leaf Storage Trunk</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">The earth tone of the banana leaves paired with the rich woven material embody the minimalist philosophy of adding visual interest with bold textures rather than bold colors. It also adds a <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/boho-bedroom-ideas">boho influence to your bedroom decor</a>.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">6. Add organization with orderly compartments</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bookcases/Dalton-Bookcase/980075"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe5EPaCNqGSl1YUqrbPjfedz3dwXbmMuUwkoOG4HgpXUNZIv-PYq97XKOwJdHg7gXDdbA2R_9S937nnXer4iEkA7p_hQryzFSSrscTIDUExDAWmgxLaCOlw5VADBUEW1Hz0loNjVA?key=eGJ125_PHWqgDNrzWPuM2Ynw" width="624" height="720"></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">In a small bedroom or a bedroom with small closets, extra storage can add a lot of functionality to your room design. You can use a bookcase in your closet to add more organization, or you can use it in place of (or in addition to) a dresser.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Look for a bookcase that&rsquo;s broken up into compartments &mdash; like the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bookcases/Dalton-Bookcase/980075">Dalton 65-Inch 6-Shelf Bookcase</a> &mdash; not just shelves. This will give you more options for organizing bedroom essentials, like baskets of socks, folded clothes, shoes, and bedtime reading material.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">7. Put extra effort into your lighting</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Lamps/Pryor-Table-Lamp/920011"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeZtORrTLyCTtzJmwUauq5_PervfBR1Ge0KMlqVOOfzwJk4-fUZK2BwdLgVaRdaRvA4LRknHIQKa64O6f2hwXkLRnWg7c0O9fJoNl98kRypueDsPkxbkNsvBVX2QPASxpsfeAPMdg?key=eGJ125_PHWqgDNrzWPuM2Ynw" width="624" height="541"></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">In bedroom design, we&rsquo;re often trying to eliminate light. But in Scandinavian design, they try to let in as much natural light as possible to compensate for the long, dark winters.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">During all the hours that you aren&rsquo;t sleeping, you&rsquo;ll appreciate having more light. Natural light will make you look better (and feel better) as you get ready in the morning. And well-placed man-made light will make the space feel cozy and help you wind down in the evenings.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To embrace natural light, layer your window treatments. You can put blackout blinds under sheer curtains and even add a second row of blackout curtains over the top, so you can make your room very dark or light and bright. Hanging mirrors where they can catch the light from your bedroom windows can also help reflect more natural light around your space.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For your evening lighting, add ambiance with candles. And incorporate a bedside table lamp for easy reading. Your lamp is another opportunity to add natural textures, so look for a wood or stone lamp base, or choose a woven lamp base, like the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Lamps/Pryor-Table-Lamp/920011">Pryor Drum Shade Handwoven Rope Table Lamp</a>.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Less is more in your minimalist bedroom</h2>
<p dir="ltr">With a minimalist bedroom design, you&rsquo;ll add more to your bedroom &mdash; more clam, more order, more tranquility. And when you incorporate these principles into your room design, they can affect how you feel while you&rsquo;re in the room.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Transforming your bedroom into a minimalist calming space can help you relax, wind down from the day, and prepare for sleep. And if there&rsquo;s one thing we all need more of, it&rsquo;s sleep.</p>
<p><strong id="docs-internal-guid-ba1e8018-7fff-b252-f50a-1d1caffe38a4">To find everything else you need for a minimalist space &mdash; and nothing you don&rsquo;t &mdash; <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/DealerLocator/DealerLocation">head to your local Coaster Furniture retailer</a>.
