You can never go wrong with neutral.
Your bedroom is arguably the most personal space in your home, so choosing a design that's timeless and easy to build on is essential. Enter neutral bedroom designs. Decorate your room with a neutral palette to create a space that's cozy, inviting, and will never go out of style. There's a wide range of neutral shades to choose from, which is why we've pulled together some of our favorite neutral bedroom ideas. Let the inspiration begin.
Your neutral bedroom colors don't have to stay in the creams, beiges, and other light tones – black is neutral, too. A black bed frame can serve as a bold border to a cream headboard and bedding. If you really want to lean into the dark neutral palette, choose colors like slate gray, dark brown, or deep navy to create moodiness and depth within your space. We love how the cream bedding, canvas lighting, and light wood nightstands in this bedroom feel extra vibrant surrounded by the black canopy bed frame and deep gray walls.

Neutral colored room ideas go beyond your palette – since your color scheme is muted and soft, adding texture is a great way to add personality to a space. Complement a soft white bedding set with touches of texture and thicker material. We love how this camel brown woven leather headboard and wool throw pillow add a layered element to an overall smooth and toned-down bed. Elevate a neutral bedroom with a chenille area rug and boucle ottoman. These textured fabrics add extra coziness and a bit of luxury.

Commit to a neutral bedroom design and choose pieces that give your room an airy and light feel. Choose similar tones for your palette like cream, beige, white, and a light wood to maintain an all-neutral space. A solid ivory-colored duvet looks extra pristine and inviting when paired with a headboard that's almost the same color. For just a touch of contrast, add a darker element to your space that doesn't command the room, but highlights the lightness of your palette. This black bed frame and chocolate brown coverlet are great examples of how a darker color can complement neutrals without overwhelming.

Give your neutral bedroom an unexpected accent color – we love how blue pops against a clean white setting. The simplicity of the sheets, wall, and table lamps paired with the unfinished wood bed frame gives us a coastal, seaside feeling that goes perfectly with the splashes of blue in the coverlet, throw pillows, and area rug. If you're going to incorporate a bolder color into your neutral bedroom, try to keep it anchored in one place, like the bed, so that it doesn't upstage the rest of your neutral choices.

In spaces grounded in neutrals, introducing patterns can give the room the personality and style needed to complete the space. We're obsessed with the tufted texture of the bed frame, large-scale plaid area rug, and buttery yellow lumbar pillows in the image above – each piece adds an element of surprise and creates depth. While this bedroom is set in rich neutrals, it plays nice with the subtle pops of color and pattern.

For a twist on the neutral bedroom, try adding moody warm-toned accents to create a warmth and coziness that's perfect for your place of relaxation. Consider decorating with a dark wood bed frame and nightstands or bringing in a leather bedroom bench to add contrast. Accent the bedroom with rich warm colors like this lived-in leather bench, the warm Moroccan-inspired area rug, and crisp autumnal faux plants.. Each detail adds just the right amount of warmth to an overall neutral bedroom.

Shades of green bring comfort and earthiness to a neutral bedroom, especially deeper shades like moss, juniper, or olive. Pair a neutral palette of taupe, cream, or light gray with touches of green – either with a coverlet, throw pillow, or faux plants. Using fake plants as decor in your bedroom not only adds refreshing touches of green, but it also fits perfectly with a neutral palette when potted in rattan or ceramic planters.
