“I am positive that flexibility is a feminine characteristic.” – Emma Bonino

Whether your tastes lean glam or minimalist, boho or Scandinavian, a bedroom that reflects your style is crucial for feeling completely relaxed. Check out our bedroom ideas for women to see which ones can help you craft the perfect oasis.

1. Glam and Luxury Bedroom Ideas for Women

Unwinding in a luxurious bedroom at the end of a long day is something of a dream, but why not make it a reality? It might feel indulgent or over-the-top to create a bedroom fit for a queen, but really, it’s an investment in your happiness and quality of life.

If you don’t have the space or the budget for a total room makeover, bringing in a few key elements will completely change your bedroom’s aesthetic. Pop a luxe, upholstered headboard behind your bed or swap out your boring overhead lamp for an elegant light fixture. Soft fabrics, elegantly curved furniture, and ornate gold mirrors and wall frames can all help add to a glam aesthetic.

2. Boho Bedroom Ideas for Women

Chill, free-spirited, and effortlessly cool, boho decor is a favorite for women’s rooms the world over. This design style is all about maximalism and worldliness, so it’s an excellent choice for anyone who isn’t a fan of super trendy, minimalist bedrooms. Pile on the prints and patterns!

However, if you want just a touch of whimsy in your otherwise serene space, there are plenty of ways to evoke this aesthetic without covering the room in ikat. Earthy, organic pieces are big in boho design, so bring in natural materials wherever you can. Wicker baskets, rattan chairs, and chunky woven blankets are all elements that can help bring the room together. Greenery is also a must, so add a few plants in terra cotta pots to finish off your boho paradise.

3. Contemporary Bedroom Design for Women

Equal parts inviting and refined, contemporary design is a surefire way to elevate the style and comfort of your bedroom. Like many other design styles, it favors neutral colors. Refined shades like mustard yellow and aubergine will fit right in.

Opt for simple, sophisticated furniture that features luxe fabrics and clean lines. If you don’t want to go all-in, contemporary design mixes well with many other styles. Whether you prefer traditional or mid-century modern decor, contemporary pieces will provide a solid, understated backdrop for everything your room has to offer.

4. White Bedroom Ideas for Women

If you want a crisp, clean aesthetic and tranquil vibe, look no further than a white bedroom. What better way to evoke the luxury of a five-star hotel than with a thick duvet, chic furniture, and perfectly plumped pillows all in the same refreshing shade of white?

Monochromatic color schemes allow the gaze to travel across the room uninterrupted, so a calm-inducing color like white is a no-brainer. Incorporate a variety of textures—corduroy, leather, distressed wood—to add visual interest and keep the room from falling flat.

If you want to warm the room up a little, try bringing in neutrals to ground the white and give the eye somewhere to rest. Wooden bedside tables, cream curtains, or black picture frames could elevate the space while maintaining a chic, neutral aesthetic. That said, don’t be afraid to throw in some color if you want to! Whether you keep it subtle with pink throw pillows or go bolder with a lemon yellow rug, peppering in some colorful accents can energize the room even more.

5. Wallpaper Bedroom Ideas for Women

Whether you want a fun backdrop for your understated decor or simply to hide an unfortunate paint job, wallpaper is a great option. Florals and other nature-inspired patterns can brighten your bedroom and bring in a feminine vibe. You could also go for statelier patterns like damask or paisley to add a touch of luxury.

If you don’t want to go all-in with the dramatic patterns, subtler designs can still make a statement without overpowering the room. Wallpaper featuring low-contrast neutrals like tan and cream can add some visual interest to a simple bedroom design.

6. Cozy Attic Bedroom Ideas for Women

If you want to bring the cozy, romantic bedroom of your dreams to life, consider setting it up in your attic. Between the slanted ceilings, close quarters, and the kind of view you only get from staying in the highest room in the house, attic bedrooms are the perfect secluded escape.

Bring in plenty of soft materials to make the space feel warm and inviting—throw blankets, a fluffy duvet, maybe a shag rug or two. Plants will breathe life into the room and make it feel fresher. Even if you don’t get much natural light, some fresh flowers or shade-loving plants would fit right in.

As far as color schemes go, there’s no right answer: light colors will make your attic bedroom feel airier and more open, while darker hues are the way to go if you want a cozy, dramatic cavern to call your own.

7.  Bedroom Decor Ideas for Women

No matter your interior design style, you can dramatically change your room’s look and feel by being strategic with your decor. An ornate, gold-framed mirror leaning casually against the wall creates a totally different vibe than a sleek, modern, frameless mirror hung on the wall. Create a homey, lived-in vibe by filling the room with decor, or keep things simple with a pared-down, minimalist aesthetic.

Even if you want to clear out your room, it can be tough to say a permanent goodbye to the odds and ends you’ve curated throughout the years. If too many things are sparking joy, put them away in a closet or drawer for a while. Either you’ll forget about them, which will make it easier for you to downsize, or you can swap them back in a season or two later for a low-maintenance, high-impact bedroom refresh.

8. Scandinavian Bedroom Ideas for Women

Minimalist and chic, Scandinavian decor is an excellent choice for a feminine bedroom. A warm, neutral color palette consisting of white, cream, and tan is all you need to get started.

To keep the space from feeling too stark, bring in an abundance of greenery. Plants are an excellent way to warm up a room and add color organically without compromising the sleek, monochromatic vibe.

If neutrals aren’t your vibe, try introducing a subtle, nature-inspired shade to brighten things up. Sage green walls, terra cotta pots, or pale blue bedding will add a touch of personality to an otherwise boring room while still keeping things tranquil. Wood furniture and flooring can also bring warmth and dimension to the space in a way that evokes the outdoors.

9. Bedroom Color Ideas for Women

If you’re looking to design a traditionally feminine space, then soft colors are your best friend. Lilac, blush pink, or pale orange accents can brighten an otherwise neutral color scheme. You could also toss any of these shades up on the walls to change the tone of the room and add a little personality. Cool colors like blue and green set a calm, relaxing mood, while warm tones like yellow or orange add energy to the room.

That said, there’s no shortage of ways to incorporate darker, moodier hues in a feminine bedroom. Rich tones like burgundy, teal, and violet add drama without veering too masculine. Painting your walls with one of these colors can create an ultra-cozy vibe, perfect for curling up with a good book.

If that feels like a little too much, dial it back by just painting one accent wall or peppering dark accent pieces through a white bedroom to break up the lightness and add visual weight.

10. Apartment Decoration Bedroom Ideas for Women

Whether you’ve got a sprawling master bedroom or a cozy studio apartment, there are a million ways to go with your bedroom design. Loads of tips and tricks are available concerning the challenges of apartment living.

For example, if you have low ceilings and less-than-impressive windows, there’s a solution. Hang your curtains as close to the ceiling as possible and extend them a little further out than the true edge of the windows. This draws the eye upward and makes your room feel bigger and airier than it actually is.

If you don’t have room for a home office, it’s still important to designate certain parts of your space as working and relaxing areas. Set up a curtain or bookshelf next to your bed to visually separate it from your studio apartment and help your brain settle into sleeping mode.

If you use the same couch to work during the day and chill in front of the TV at night, here’s a great hack: Light a certain candle when you’re working—try eucalyptus or citrus, both of which energize and enhance focus—and replace it with the calming scent of lavender or rosemary at the end of the day.

11. Small Bedroom Ideas for Women

When it comes to small bedroom decorating ideas, the same tips and tricks always pop up: go minimalist, avoid dark colors, and utilize vertical space. These rules are tried and true for good reason.

Clutter, both physical and visual, piles up fast in small spaces. Keeping your decor simple will help your small bedroom feel more open. Pale colors reflect light instead of swallowing it, which helps your room feel more cozy than cramped. Making use of vertical space, whether by getting floor-to-ceiling bookshelves or using a floating shelf in lieu of a traditional bedside table, lets you store your stuff without taking up precious floor space.

That said, feel free to break the rules. If minimalist white walls are a little too empty for you, use patterned wallpaper to create an accent wall. You could also brighten up the space by painting eye-catching geometric designs in bright colors. As far as dark colors, they can work in a small room as long as there’s plenty of light. Try hanging a mirror opposite a window to magnify the natural light.
