Showing you the best mix and match bedroom furniture ideas!!
Recently, I was thinking about mix and match bedroom furniture ideas, as it has recently become a trendy interior style.
I believe this is due to people wanting to reflect their personality more in their space and because it allows you to break all of the usual interior design rules and transform your entire space!
So, How do you Mix and Match furniture?
Mixing and matching furniture is all about combining different shades, textures, and accents to create something that reflects your personality.
But how do you do it without your space looking like a jumbled thrift store? It's easier than you think.
Start with a neutral foundation and add furniture with varying but harmonious wood tones or finishes.
Incorporate a statement piece as a focal point, then balance it with quieter items to prevent visual clutter.
Use accessories like pillows and throws to tie in different colors and patterns, ensuring a unified theme.
Now, let's get into these mix-and-match bedroom ideas.
1. Start with a Focal Point
Usually, a focal point of your bedroom is your bed.
Choosing a fantastic bed frame and headboard is essential, as it is a great way to tie your whole space together.
Whether you opt for an upholstered headboard or a minimalistic look, it's where the eye naturally lands and will direct your whole space - so pick a bed that feels like 'you.'
Once you have picked your bed, you need to consider the bedding.
Incorporating different textures, color schemes, and patterns to complement your furniture pieces is an easy way to add visual interest to your room. Or keep the bedding more subtle to focus on your statement pieces.
2. Choose a Color Scheme
Color is your room's personality. Pick a palette that feels soothing to you, whether a range of blues and greens or a bold mix of oranges and pinks.
I love how this bedroom mixes neutrals with shades of burnt orange! The pops of color bring so much life into the room without overwhelming it.
I will now be going into some of my personal favorite color schemes:
3. Complementary Colors
I love incorporating complementary colors!
Complementary colors add a dynamic vibe. Imagine a blue vase against a tangerine wall—that pop of contrast makes your room feel intentional.
This bedroom uses deep royal blues and oranges against a neutral bedroom; it looks fantastic!!
4. Neutral Colors
Neutral tones will never let you down.
They're the backdrop that lets your favorite pieces stand out without being overwhelming. Think beige, taupe, gray, cream, brown, black, and white.
This is one of my all-time favorite bedrooms; the earthy tones blend ridiculously well, and look at the bed headboard combined with the wall art; it is fantastic!!
If you want to create a cozy boho-style bedroom, using neutral colors, natural materials, and pops of color is the best way to do it.
5. Select Pieces with High Contrast
High contrast can be striking. Incorporating contrasting elements can also add depth and character to your space.
Consider pairing dark wood against light walls or bright bedding on a dark bed frame—it's all about balance.
6. Monochromatic Scheme or Analogous Colors
A monochromatic scheme is all about layering.
Think of various shades of gray, from charcoal bedding to light curtains, for a sophisticated, unified look.
In comparison, you can go the other route and select colors next to each other on the color wheel, such as blues and greens, to add some color to your space and create a serene look.
7. Bold Color Scheme
If you're feeling adventurous, go for bold.
A statement wall in a deep jewel tone or bright color can set off the rest of the room and add a sense of luxury.
I love that this room uses LED lights and fairy lights to bring pops of color to the space.
8. Different Furniture Pieces
Mix it up with different pieces of furniture!
Whether playing around with a bedside table, an accent chair, dressers, lights, or just finding some cute vintage items, it brings so much character into your space!
The only rule is to make sure your furniture items are proportionate to each other, as this is an essential element in any well-designed bedroom.
I highly recommend Pinterest for some fantastic inspo on what works well together!
9. Play with Textures and Different Materials
Adding texture and playing with different materials is a fantastic way to give life to your bedroom.
Usually, when you want to mix and match furniture, it requires careful thought, but with the proper technique, creating a chic and intentional bedroom is easy.
After you've selected your desired color palette, you can begin to incorporate textures with your furniture pieces.
For example, you can go with a chunky knit throw blanket or a patterned duvet cover to add a touch of coziness and interest.
10. Matching Bedroom Furniture
If you don't know where to start, purchasing a matching bedroom set, such as bedside tables, or keeping a cohesive color scheme is okay.
Then, add some mix-and-match statement or accent pieces around your bedroom instead.
You can slowly incorporate new furniture or pieces as you come across them.
It can be scary to change up your space completely, so this way, you can still create your dream bedroom without the total commitment.
11. Statement Pieces
If you want to mix and match furniture, one major tip is to have one statement piece as your anchor.
A focal point helps tie everything together and ensures your room doesn't feel too chaotic.
For example, you can go for a piece of artwork, a dresser, a headboard, or even an egg chair like this bedroom does.
12. Add Accent Pieces
Accent pieces such as throw pillows, rugs, artwork, and throw blankets are a great way to add pops of color to your bedroom.
When you want to mix and match your bedroom decor, it can be a good idea to start small by incorporating throw blankets, throw pillows, or accent rugs with unique prints.
As you become more confident mixing patterns well, you can begin incorporating larger pieces, such as curtains or upholstered headboards.
13. Clean Lines
If you want to mix and match furniture, choosing clean lines can be a great way to create order in your space to prevent your bedroom from feeling overwhelming or cluttered.
This is a very common feature of modern or minimalistic designs.
14. Minimalist Headboards
Minimalist designs such as a simple headboard can be a quiet backdrop for more ornate pieces or stand independently for a sleek, uncluttered look.
A white bedframe and bedding like this are timeless, and you can add in throw pillows or blankets to spice it up!
15. Upholstered Headboards
If you're feeling bold and want your headboard to be your bedroom's centerpiece, opt for an upholstered headboard to add a touch of luxury and comfort.
16. Area Rugs
Area rugs occupy a lot of space in the room and can pull your design together. You can pull colors from your rug and use them to inspire your decor to get a more cohesive look.
I love Turkish rugs; they are such timeless pieces of furniture, and they look elegant and have such beautiful colors and patterns.
17. Include a Vintage Mirror
Including a vintage mirror adds so much character to your bedroom, and the great thing is you can find these over time at thrift stores or flea markets, which means they aren't too expensive.
Look at how this mirror makes the space feel much bigger and brighter!!
Remember, if you find a piece you love but do not like the color, you can always refurnish the details and create a harmonious look.
18. Play Around with Lighting Fixtures
Lighting sets the mood.
It's all about creating the right ambiance, from a bright reading light to a soft, dimmable lamp for evenings.
This room is so simple, but the small addition of a fun lampshade is so eye-catching and creates such a great vibe.
19. Mixing wood tones
Don't be afraid to mix light and dark wood. It's a way to add depth and keep the room from looking too structured.
However, choosing colors that complement each other rather than clash is still essential – for example, I usually avoid buying wood that has an orange or red tone.
If I go for a warmer wood tone, I will pair it with cool blues or greys. I try to keep it to no more than three or four different wood tones per room; otherwise, it can look chaotic.
Remember, you always have the option to refurnish the wood if you love the furniture piece but not the color.
20. Bedding
Once you've chosen your bed, you need to consider the bedding.
This is a great way to combine textures, colors, and patterns to complement your chosen mix-and-match furniture pieces.
Additionally, keep the bedding subdued to focus on your statement piece.
You can add color and pattern to your bedding to add more visual interest.
Change it up with the seasons or whenever you need a new splash of color or pattern.
21. Personal Preference
Ultimately, your room should reflect you.
Go with what you love, and it's important to remember to have fun. Your room is your sanctuary, so trust your gut and make it a space that feels like home.
Start small, like in this mix-and-match bedroom; you can add a colorful throw pillow and slowly add more colors over time!
We hope these 21 mix and match bedroom furniture ideas have inspired you to transform your space.
Find your perfect furniture styles and get started on your bedroom design.
Remember that the key to a successful mix-and-match aesthetic is to reflect your personal style, making the space uniquely yours.
