5 Bedroom Trends

That’ll Get You Renovating​

The average person spends 40+ years in their bedroom...

...That’s essentially half your life. Doesn’t that make you think your bedroom should be a place you love, that makes you feel calm, safe, and rejuvenated? (Answer: yes.)​

These five bedroom trends do just that. They’ll turn you green with envy (but not an ugly green, a trendy olive-green) and inspire you to create your ultimate sleep and relaxation haven.

1. Rattan, Have A Seat

Rattan, cane and wicker furniture is popping up everywhere – but the stand-out piece is the statement rattan chair. Being an organic material, it brings a tropical and calming feel to the bedroom, while also creating another space for you to relax (and read) in. ​

The best bit about rattan? It matches any style – Scandi, vintage, boho, farm house, Hamptons, French Provincial – and any colour palette, making it the ideal furnishing.

2. Let There Be (Iconic) Light

Style is all in the details. An underestimated yet crucial detail of any bedroom are the switches and power points. ​

You want them to be chic, stylish and suit your bedroom’s look and feel. Lucky the Iconic collection of switches and power points offers three designs, with nine different skin colours and metallic finishes then!

3. Built-In Every Day

One element of a bedroom that creates stress and mess is the laundry hamper. Enter: built-in laundry hampers, a new feature of practical and cleverly-designed wardrobes. ​

Instead of cluttering your bedroom, it’s hidden away, creating more floor space and a more pleasing aesthetic. (Now if only someone could design a wardrobe that did your laundry too…)

4. A Cushion (Or Two, Or Three)​

Not only do cushions create a warm, cosy and inviting space, the variety of textures, shapes and styles make cushions a design element in their own right. They’re an easy way to experiment with colours and patterns, and try something new.​

At Clipsal, we’re loving:​

  • The on-trend colours: blush and warm terracotta's, olive greens, and dusty blues​

  • Playful textures: velvet, wool, knits, tassels​

  • Mix-and-match stripes, prints and abstract designs ​

When deciding how many cushions, take into consideration the size of your bed, the style of the room and remember that the eye loves symmetry. For a queen bed, we recommend layering two standard sleeping pillows, two European pillows and three decorative pillows.

5. Flooring That’ll Floor You

Timber flooring came back in a big way a few years ago, and the current trend is a fresh step up: Herringbone flooring. ​

Herringbone flooring is a style of hardwood floors, where the panels are designed in a parquet pattern of V-shapes. It’s everything you want and need in a floor:​

  • Timeless and long lasting – you’re not going to want, or need, to rip it up in 12 months time. ​

  • Matches any colour palette – and will continue to do so as your style evolves.​

  • Sense of dynamism – the Herringbone pattern creates an original, interesting and eye-catching feature. ​

  • Easy to clean – because let’s be honest, practicality is important.
