Are you trying to get the aesthetic look for your bedroom?

Aesthetic bedrooms are all about creating a room with maximum visual appeal. They often feature fairy and led lights, vining plants, fun tapestries, and unique patterns.

If you’re looking for the best aesthetic bedroom ideas, here are 17 worth checking out.

Perhaps one of the biggest trends for aesthetic bedrooms is novelty lighting, either in the form of LED strip lights or firefly lights, as shown.

These lights create a beautiful ambiance that’s very relaxing. You can place these on one wall of your room for a stunning effect.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns for an aesthetic room. The best way to do this is to start with your largest pattern, in this case, the blanket. From there, pull colors out of the blanket and into accessories like throw pillows.

You can achieve this look with a bright color scheme or tone it down and do it with neutrals.

Choose the Right Bed

There are a million ways you could go when choosing a bed. But the best choice is usually a simple one, like this olive green bed from Crate&Barrel.

Since your bed is the grounding piece in your bedroom, a neutral works best. Wood, white, or neutral upholstered beds are all good options. Alternatively, if you’re going for a bold aesthetic, you can choose a brighter color.

Hang Your Chair

Hanging wicker chairs are the perfect addition to a cozy aesthetic room. Not only do these chairs look amazing, but they provide comfy seating for reading a book or watching tv.

This hanging rattan chair from Overstock comes in two colors – light beige and dark gray. Both colors are neutral, so they would work well with any bedroom style.

Canopies are excellent additions to any type of cozy room – they instantly give the bedroom a regal feel and provide a safe place to curl in bed each night.

You can add to the look by placing some string lights on the canopy, as shown above. This bed canopy from Wayfair comes in a few colors, including pink, blue, purple, and violet.

Vines are notorious for aesthetic bedrooms. The great thing about them is that they’re inexpensive, easy to hang, and easy to customize.

You can use these on any wall, but I like them behind a bed. They create a great focal point, and you can hang them at various lengths for a custom setup.

Bring in Texture with a Chunky Knit Blanket

Whether you’re using led strip lights, fairy lights, or stars and moons, you can’t skimp on the lighting in an aesthetic room.

These lights look cool hanging during the day and create a fun atmosphere at night. You can use a strip of these to create an accent wall in your bedroom.

If you’re trying to create an aesthetic around your favorite color, your bed can play a massive part in the design.

A simple linen duvet cover like this looks stunning for a pink aesthetic. Then you can layer different shades of pink throughout the room. Throw in some lighting and faux plants, and you’ve got the perfect setup.

Throw pillows are another fun way to bring color and texture into the bedroom. You can coordinate to a specific color scheme or slowly add those that catch your eye.

For an aesthetic bedroom, I like pillows with fringe at the bottom paired with more simple pillows.

While flush mounts and ceiling fans are the most common bedroom lighting, you can kick it up a notch by installing a low-hanging pendant over your bed.

I like this rattan pendant since it brings warmth and texture. However, it’s not the only way to go. Depending on your aesthetic, you could also go for a more glam or industrial pendant.

Pull in Some Multifunctional Furniture

If your bedroom is tiny, you could even use one of these ottomans as your nightstand. This one comes in four shades: pink, blue, gray, and black.

No, prelit trees aren’t just for the holidays. This is the perfect aesthetic option if you’re looking for a fun take on faux plants.

Final Thoughts

And remember, since this style of bedroom is about creating a space you love to look at, you’re free to go as bold or as soft with colors as you’d like.
