The dawn of a New Year is the perfect opportunity to refresh your bedroom design. Even if you're happy with your slumber space, it's easy to update select elements of your home decor in order make the room feel on-trend, serene, and re-organized to make the best use of your personal space (in terms of both form and function). If you're looking for a jumping off point to kick your 2020 bedroom refresh into gear, here are three hot bedroom ideas and design concepts that are sure to be popping up on interior design mood boards all year long!

Bedroom Design Idea #1: Canopy Beds

First up: Canopy beds! You may associate this regal bedroom style with royalty, but thanks to a robust selection in the marketplace, canopy beds are now oh-so-easy to bring into any motif, whether it's a modern bedroom design or a traditional style. To update the look of a canopy bed, try using trendy pendant lights on each side instead of the typical bedside table and lamp combo, or add curtains and fabrics over the frame of you canopy bed to bring in colors and textures used elsewhere in your home decor scheme. And finally, a pro tip for working with a canopy bed frame: Canopy beds can give illusion of high ceilings (which is fantastic) but just be sure to check the ceiling height and area of the space before you bring one in.

Bedroom Design Idea #2: Bold Walls

Whether it's wall beds, statement-making wallpaper, or a bright accent wall, bold walls are another hot bedroom decor trend for 2020. For a luxe visual statement, try a trendy wall bed with with large-scale upholstery panels behind the bed. For a refresh in your bedroom that goes beyond furniture, try an accent wall or unique patterned wallpaper. An accent wall always adds an interesting touch when you use a paint color that contrasts with the rest of the room, and it's easy to install a wallpaper that has enough pattern to introduce a unique detailing (with subtle prints to make it comfortable). In short, going bold with your walls is a fantastic way to make your bedroom feel brand-new without having to budget out for all new furniture.

Bedroom Design Idea #3: Natural Elements

Bringing a little bit of the outside in is a wonderful way to add serenity and a sense of calm to your bedroom. This year, natural materials--think rattan, rustic wood, and greenery--are poised to have a big moment in the home decor space. This trend creates an opportunity to really have fun when choosing your bedroom furniture and decor. When you design a bedroom with a serene and relaxing vibe (who wouldn't want that for their bedroom?) is what you want to achieve, you can start with a refreshing plant, beachy rattan accent pieces, light colored wood, rustic touches, and organic-shaped pieces can create that peaceful environment to help you get your lounge and your snooze on.
