Bedroom Ideas for Couples

Designing a bedroom for more than one person can be a challenge. After all, each person using the room has their own preferences with colors, style, and tone. This can be especially true if you are designing a room for a husband and wife, who often fit on opposite ranges of color preferences. Even with these differences, it IS possible to design a bedroom where both couples have their style in the forefront and their tastes honored. Continue on to see some of our favorite bedrooms for couples along with bedroom ideas for couples young and young at heart.

Glorious Greens

Green is a color that is incredibly diverse in its different shades and variations. Even if you use green in many of the room's accents, the room doesn't have to feel basic or boring. Follow this room's example by using different shades of green in different materials, patterns, and finishes to create a diverse yet unified design fitting for a bedroom for couples.

Rugged Yet Soft

If you're looking to create a bedroom that both husband and wife can enjoy, then try mixing dark and light colors. To ensure that the dark colors don't make the room feel cold or unwelcoming, incorporate soft textures and materials in the room's light accents. In this room, the plush creamy rug helps the room balance between masculine ruggedness and gentle softness.

Restraint

In large bedrooms with tall ceilings, you may be more tempted to include wall art so that the room doesn't feel too empty or vast. However, restraint is a key part of design, and by allowing one or two areas to be blank (or decorated with one piece of art as opposed to multiple), you create a more relaxed, open bedroom that feels large and uncluttered. Since each room is unique in its size, layout, and height, you can decide how and where to use art to create the proper balance between decor and minimalism.

Touches of Femininity

Pink can sometimes be thought of as a juvenile color. However, this couldn't be further from the truth! This room uses a dusty pink/rose curtain as one of the few pops of color in a neutral color palette. Since this color doesn't oversaturate the room, it acts as a subtle accent that doesn't make the room feel overtly feminine.

Neutral Notes

Neutral color palettes made up of beiges, creams, and whites are quite popular in today's interior design landscape. No matter what gender(s) your room is catering to, this color palette works for a wide audience. Plus, this color scheme is ideal for many styles, such as modern cottage, modern farmhouse, minimalist boho, and other warm interior design styles.

Simply Tidy

Creating a tidy, uncluttered bedroom is a great way to keep the peace with your partner. By having everything organized and with a set home, you can keep your room uncluttered and a site of respite for both you and your partner. Consider how individual nightstands, lamps, and other furnishings can give each person the freedom and ability to use the room effectively.

Modern Design

Modern bedrooms often appeal to wide audiences, since beauty is found in simplicity. In this contemporary bedroom, the furniture and artwork mainly use clean lines and shapes to create a streamlined design. In order to soften the modern design to suit you and your partner's tastes, look for opportunities to include softer shapes through plants, round wall decor, and different textures.

Rustic Sophistication

Woodsy, rustic designs can lean more masculine with dark wood tones, antlers, and other cabin elements. Instead of having a room that is dominated by these pieces, try using them sparingly and intentionally in the room's main accents. In this room, the dark wood tones are present in the doors, ceiling, and bedding, but aside from that, light colors fill the room. And of course, the chandelier firmly cements this room's rustic style, even if it is a sophisticated rustic.

Ambiance

Lighting plays a key role in setting the tone of your room. Whether you're looking to create a moody retreat, an airy aesthetic, or something in between, it is important to choose your lighting fixtures intentionally. Consider where the lights are placed, how they are dispersed throughout the room, and how they cast light. These areas will all help you determine how to complete your room's lighting scheme.

Practical Comfort

Aside from being beautiful, your master bedroom should be comfortable. Consider the fabrics you'll come into contact with like your rug(s), bedding, and blankets. Also consider aspects like fans and windows to promote circulation and create comfort.

Classic Traditions

Classic and traditional interior design styles tend to capitalize on symmetry. Symmetry with nightstands, lights, architecture, and artwork can make a room feel very tidy and traditional. While this room uses symmetry in nearly every aspect, you can diversify your room with different nightstands, accent pieces, and artwork to create as much asymmetry (imperfect symmetry) as you choose.

Hot and Cold

Different colors convey different tones. Grey is a cooler color that can make the room feel more moody as opposed to light and airy. However, this color can be overpowering without the proper accents. Consider how metallic gold accents, white/cream tones, and other warm colors can interact with grey to create a balanced room that is moody but welcoming.

Multiple Functions For Multiple People

Since you're sharing a room with another person, it is important to consider their wants and needs. In some cases, your partner may want a small office space to work or unwind at the end of the day. In the meantime, you may want a small reading corner for the same reason. Talk to your spouse to determine what you're each seeking from the room and how the bedroom can effectively serve both of you.

Cozy Compromises

There is a lot of debate about carpets versus rugs versus hardwood floors. If one person wants carpet to fill the entire room, you can still complement the space with an area rug. Like this room, you may place the rug directly beneath the bed to accent that space as a focal point. In other cases, a small rug can accent an office space or vanity. In any case, you can see how rugs and carpet can work together to create a cozy, intimate bedroom for couples.

One Accent Color

Neutral color palettes are a great foundation for any bedroom. From the start, you can decide if you want to lean into warm neutral tones, cool ones, or balance the two. Then, you can add contrast to the room by focusing on a singular accent color. This room, which focuses on different shades of grey, is complemented by the pops of blue in the lamps, chair, and ceiling light. Using color in your room's accents is a great way to balance your color palette and include hues that please everyone who uses the room.


Whether you're looking to create a cozy, rustic, cute, modern, vintage, or minimalist bedroom, there are plenty of ways to create your unique aesthetic while working with another person's tastes and preferences. By playing with color, textures, materials, wall art, and other accents, you can create a style that pleases both members in the relationship without clashing in style. With the bedroom ideas for couples outlined above, you can now begin your journey of designing the perfect master bedroom.
