When you think of modern design the word “cozy” typically doesn’t come to mind. But, what if I told you that there was totally a way to incorporate coziness into your modern home. There IS such a thing as a cozy modern bedroom. Let us explore some homes and different pieces that will give you the inspiration that you need to seamlessly blend coziness into your modern space.
Modern spaces can definitely tend to be cold. A lot of times a modern look means minimalism which is a direct contrast to what cozy is. Cozy is layers and textures and warmth.
Now, just because it seems like they are starkly different doesn’t mean that there isn’t a way to meld the two together. There definitely is! And I highly recommend blending different styles to create a style of home that is specific to you. Trends come and go, so stick with what you really love and your house will be timeless to you!
But let’s get to it – How to get a cozy modern bedroom.
This post is all about how to get a cozy modern bedroom and what decor to buy!
Cozy Modern Bedroom
The picture above is our primary bedroom. I always like a modern edge when it comes to designing our home. I feel like a lot of times I mix rustic with modern. I tend to like black and white, but I also really like textures and layers.
Our bedroom is probably more modern than any other room in the home. It’s actually a little interesting that our bedroom, a room that you would think would be the coziest, is actually the one that leans more modern.
To me, it is a perfect blend. There are the clean lines and modern shapes (not pictured is the Leanne Ford for Crate and Barrel curved wardrobe cabinet) and fun patterns. All of this is balanced out by layers of textures – linen bedding, crinkly throws, reclaimed wood nightstands and a vintage kilim pillow. The palette is neutral, making it calm and relaxing (despite the fairly bold pattern of rug under foot).
Modern Headboard
The headboard is a main focal point of a bedroom because, duh, its showcasing the bed which is the main furniture piece of a bedroom.
The headboard/bed we chose is from wayfair (linked) and we love it! It is also fairly inexpensive in comparison to what some of these things cost! We gravitated towards this one because of the clean lines, but also because it is upholstered and definitely adds a nice element. Especially if you have kids – I can’t tell you how many times our kids have knocked their heads off of our old headboards which were NOT upholstered and very hard.
This headboard up above is from AMAZON! I honestly couldn’t believe it when I saw this on amazon, but hen to also see the price?!? If you are on a budget but still want to get a cozy modern look – you need this headboard! Amazing reviews and what a steal!!!
This is another great option that is more traditional but still has some modern flair. Beautiful and from Home Depot! Y’all – do not sleep on home depot! They have blown my mind lately! Also, my dad works there 🙂 If you’re in Illinois and you come cross a super friendly man with a larger than life mustache – that’s my dad 🙂
Bedding
A beautiful linen or linen like bedding will add such a cozy and relaxed feel to a modern bedroom. This isn’t quite what would be typical for a modern bedroom but a great choice for modern cozy.
People talk about brook linen a lot. I personally have not tried them but I know MANY people rave about their sheets, towels, etc.
We have the linen blend duvet cover from Casaluna from Target and I really love it. No complaints here and what’s even better is that I had been debating on purchasing this and then one day I was at Target and they had the color I wanted in the size I needed on clearance for $35! I still have no idea how that happened and I actually felt like a thief as I left the store.
This option above from amazon is GORGEOUS, got great reviews, has a $10 off coupon right now AND will get to you in 2 days with prime.
Below I have linked the one I have from Target as well as some options from H&M Home. If you have not shopped from H&M Home yet I highly recommend them. I love Target but sometimes it gets a little played out (don’t come for me). H&M home is a similar price point and their stuff really is gorgeous.
Styling
Remember – It is all about the mix! My nightstands are a rustic style wood so I made sure to have more sleek/modern lamps. If your nightstands are sleek I would try a more rustic or earthy light. It’s all about mixing the textures with the sleekness and clean lines.
Layering in pottery, vessels and earthy textures and keeping the lines clean is a sure fire way to get the look that we’re going for.
Lighting and Decor
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12
These are some great pieces. Some items are from amazon, some from target, some from H&M Home… All of these stores offer great pieces at great prices. Another favorite of mine is zara home. Wow – seriously STUNNING. Kirklands has some great stuff, too. Of course, places like CB2, Restoration Hardware and Crate & Barrel also have amazing items but you will be spending much more.
I have a much more in depth breakdown of my favorite items from different stores at this post: Warm & Cozy Home Decor | The absolute best budget friendly places to find it.
That wraps it up on my cozy modern bedroom round up. Hopefully this helped you visualize how to pull certain pieces to create cozy harmony with modern items and layers. If you are reading this please know I am so happy to have you here and your support is SO SO appreciated. Stay Cozy! Xo, Em
