Bedroom design trends come and go, and as the year comes to an end, it’s time to look at which styles are fading as we head into 2026.
+ The new décor trend for 2025: small tables replace coffee tables
According to The Spruce, some classic bedroom styles are already falling behind, giving way to cozier and more colorful solutions.
Here, three professional interior designers talk about six bedroom styles that, according to The Spruce, will be completely out of fashion next year. Overall, we can expect more color, texture, and a relaxing setup in sleeping spaces.
Architecturally complex beds
Ornate beds draw attention, but will they last? Susan Hill, founder of Susan Hill Interior Design, believes not — this style won’t make it into 2026.
“They really weren’t great when they were trendy and they wear out a space very quickly,” she says, as reported by The Spruce.
Instead, opt for more understated and simple beds — they offer style versatility and pair well with different décor schemes.
Maximalist bedding
Rebecca Amir, founder of Rebecca Amir Design, predicts that in 2026 we’ll see less complex bedding setups.
“I’ll always love a layered bed, but recently there’s been a trend toward simpler schemes,” she explains, according to The Spruce.
The new trend suggests a textured bedspread that covers the entire bed, keeping the look sophisticated without seeming fussy.
Overly simple bedrooms
While a minimalist look is popular, Marlaina Teich, founder of Marlaina Teich Designs, warns that fully beige or cool-white bedrooms are on their way out.
“These palettes can look clean, but often feel bland in a space that should feel inviting,” she says, as quoted by The Spruce.
Instead, expect to see more touches of natural wood, linen, and cozy elements that create a sense of warmth.
Hybrid work-and-sleep spaces
According to The Spruce, the trend of bedrooms serving as both sleep and work areas is declining. Amir notes:
“Bedrooms are becoming more sacred relaxation spaces. It’s time to move that desk you bought in 2020 out of there!”
Matching furniture sets
If there was ever a time to retire matching furniture sets, it’s now. Hill notes, cited by The Spruce, that mixing different pieces creates a more personal and interesting space.
Teich reinforces: “Buying all the pieces in the same finish makes for a predictable space. Mixing new finds with older pieces brings personality.”
Ultra-trendy touches
Last but not least, Teich doesn’t foresee 2026 bedrooms following exaggerated trends like bouclé, farmhouse details, or floral-on-floral.
“They overwhelm rather than calm the bedroom,” she explains, according to The Spruce.
Keeping the space classic and pleasant is still the best choice, avoiding turning it into a laboratory of fleeting trends.
