6 Bedroom Styles That Are Going Out of Style, According to Designers

Not all bedroom styles remain popular forever, and interior designers are pretty quick to pinpoint a few design schemes that they’re ready to say goodbye to for good.

Below, pros weigh in with six bedroom aesthetics that they feel are going out of style and should be avoided if possible. Don’t worry, though, they share plenty of suggestions on what to do instead to design a space that is going to be majorly in vogue.

Neutral Bedrooms

It’s time to start veering away from using only neutral colors in the bedroom, Fiona Leonard, the founder of Fiona Leonard Interiors, says. Leonard says that layered bedrooms rich in color are in.

“Mixing multiple patterns as well as new and vintage furniture and accessories provides a rich landscape to rest your eyes,” Leonard says.

Rachel Browne, the founder of Browne House Interior Design, agrees and adds that we’re taking a break from restrained and quiet modern bedrooms.

While a bedroom is still a place in which to rest, it’s okay to add some stimuli, Browne explains.

“My rule of thumb is to add something to every wall in a room: wall decor, furniture, et. cetera,” she says. Additionally, Browne recommends adding character with millwork.

However, if you’re unable to, Brown suggests adding some antique furniture with intricate details or interesting materials like a veined marble-topped commode as a bedside table.

In lieu of decorating with all-white bedding, add some pops of brightness. Jennifer McKissick, the founder Jennifer McKissick Interiors, loves incorporating colorful, floral linens and vintage quilts.

“White is timeless to a degree so if you use some elements of it, mix it with some warmer accessories like warm-toned bedding and even a darker accent wall,” Amy Youngblood, the founder of Amy Youngblood Interiors, says.

Hollywood Glam Bedrooms

This bedroom design style is on the way out, Rande Leaman, the founder of Rande Leaman Interior Design, says.

“While this style evolved from Hollywood Regency, it has become so overdone with a plethora of mirrored dressers and bedside tables, shiny silver metals on glass tables, fluffy pillows, and over-the-top chandeliers dripping in crystal over the bed,” she says.

Overly Pillow-Filled Beds

It’s time to put a stop to beds that are covered in pillows, Charli Hantman, the founder of August Black Interior Design, says.

Although Hantman loves decorative pillows, she believes less is more and would rather add character and dimension using wallpaper, rugs, and millwork. This way, your bed won’t be overflowing with an unnecessary amount of pillows which may look stuffy and even feel uncomfortable when you’re settling in at night.

Anais Chaumien, the founder of Design by Anais, agrees and says that eight pillow beds are no longer a thing.

Boho Style Bedrooms

These types of spaces just aren’t having a moment as of late, Taylor Fusco, the founder of Tay Fusco Design, says.

“Gone are the busy wall hangings, gallery walls in the bedroom,” she says.

Fusco suggests taking a more minimalistic route when it comes to creating a zen space, so it feels and looks less cluttered. Fusco helps bring this look to life with Roman clay paint, wooden beams, and bare walls.

Coastal Style Bedrooms

According to Taylor Bowling, the founder of Home Taylored, the coastal decor is overdone, predictable, and too matchy. Bowling explains that this aesthetic just doesn’t feel original anymore.

“I like hints and touches of it, but the overly coastal look is too much and is dead to me,” Bowling says.

Whether it’s choosing a calm colorway or bringing in minimal decor accents to add subtle touches of coastal decor, go with only one or two design aspects.

Bedrooms Without Mixed Pieces

Designers have long been saying to skip the matching bedroom sets, and Bowling agrees. Bedrooms without any character or a mix of elements are on the way out, she comments.

“At the end of the day, whether it’s your bedroom or your home in general, your home needs to tell your story and show your style,” Bowling says. “Mix things up, buy pieces from all over. Mix old and new which will give your room interest.”
