The first half of 2020 was an incredible turning point for the design industry, leaving many wondering which new trends would stick around. And in the bedroom, where professionals face the challenges of balancing comfort and relaxation, convenience and practicality, self-expression and style, the options seem endless. As we look forward to this new normal year, AD PRO consulted with some of the industry's biggest leaders to reveal the bedroom decor trends they believe will stand out from the rest in 2024.
New dead end
While neutral colors may seem nothing new in the bedroom, New York designer Alfredo Paredes plans to move away from "sand and stone beams" in favor of bolder, more natural colors. He points out that these colors can provide a calming warmth, especially when "paired with the right lighting and understated furniture." In his latest collaboration with Australian bedding maker Cultivate, acclaimed designer Colin King proves this theory in chic, saturated colors like linen, truffle and aubergine. “I wanted the collection to transcend different seasons,” she says of the linen sheets, blankets and pillows.

Simple style bed
Apart from replacing the curtains, the process of making the bed itself has also changed. According to Adam Charlap Hyman, AD100 designer, arrangements of two or four monastic pillows are becoming increasingly popular with customers. “I think it's a reaction to our childhood department store beds containing 10,000 pillows,” he says. In contrast, Charlap Hyman, who lives in Los Angeles and New York, bases his work on the minimalist styles of the 1920s, 1930s, 1950s, and 1960s.
Antique touch
As interest in 20th century design increases, so does the influx of vintage items. Paredes believes that carefully selected antiques add “soul and depth” to a room and says that furniture from the past “can tie the interior design together with the architecture of the home and its surroundings.”
Corey Damen Jenkins, designer of AD100 and AD PRO Directory, agrees that antiques are fueling consumers' increasing desire for "individualism" or "uniqueness" in personal and private spaces. In a recent report on bedroom trends for mattress maker Foster & Stearns, Jenkins noted that demand for unique design elements is increasing among his company's customers and his contemporaries. “We try to capture more of the uniqueness of bedrooms, particularly in their décor, whether through property searches, online sources, online tours or websites,” he says of his own approach. Flea markets, estate sales, online auctions. It's always a big investment: "Sometimes it's just a knick-knack of the moment you know, your kid's mug or something that by itself has meaning, value and origin because no one else has it."
