Boho
Year after year the boho trend comes back around with laid-back and eclectic additions; boho room decor is all about bending the rules and mixing and matching patterns and textures to create a free-spirited space.
To transform your bedroom, unleash that boho spirit with textured cushions, blankets and rugs, and natural materials like rattan and bamboo. The goal with boho room decor; create an imperfect feel that adds soul and personality of the people that live there.
To really inject the boho trend into your bedroom, bring the outdoors in with houseplants and faux plant greenery. Opt for trailing ivy or even smaller succulents to bring this decor to life.

Industrial
Characterised by exposed brick partnered with unrefined wood and metal, industrial interior design has gained in popularity since the 1960s. Originating in the loft apartments of New York, this style has expanded worldwide and become a staple for interior designers across the globe.
Industrial home decor is characterised by a stripped-back style, particularly open pipes and unfinished wood floors. Expect a blend of metal and unpainted wood, as well as items that resemble repurposed objects such as barrels and ladders - perfect for bedside cabinets or bedroom storage.
Soft furnishings tend to be in neutral colours to match the natural shades of wood and metal, however, key splashes of colour certainly have their place in industrial interior design. The key is to balance this with the industrial aesthetic rather than detracting from it.
Our Top Picks
Sticking with neutral shades for soft furnishings, the Gallery Interiors Chunky Knitted Throw Grey is both timeless and chunky, making it the perfect addition to your bed or accent chair for any interior decor style.
Add bold side accents to your bedroom makeover with the Olivia's Derby Table Lamp in Antique Brass. With a captivating modern classic design, this table lamp features a matt black base with an antique brass finished frame.
Fitting in seamlessly to an industrial design, the Gallery Interiors Mustique Dressing Table has both elegance and rustic charm.

Maximalism
You’ve probably heard of minimalism, but have you heard that there’s a new trend on the block? Introducing maximalism. The concept is: “more is more”. It is the art of perfectly showcasing the styles and objects that you love, the bolder the better, but in a way that doesn't appear cluttered.
Maximalist style is known for its loud, proud, and flamboyant decor with clashing colours and patterns. So if you’re looking for a bedroom makeover idea that allows you to bring colour and personality to your home, then this is the style for you.
Be brave and opt for bright colours, clashing patterns and statement furniture pieces to give your space a new lease of life. Maximalism gives you the scope to go all-out with your room makeover - there really are no limits!

Scandi
Scandinavian interior design draws influence from the simplistic style of Scandinavian living. After growing in popularity over the past few years, Scandi interior design is all about utilising simplicity and minimalism to create an inviting, cosy ambience. It draws largely on the concept of 'hygge' living, a Danish idea of feeling content and enjoying the simple pleasures in life.
Clean, crispness is a key part of Scandi style, so consider bright whites and lots of natural light to further exemplify this style in your bedroom. You may also wish to add warm, wooden furniture such as beech and oak, which will continue to bring the light, natural aesthetic.

Luxe
Elegant, glamorous and sophisticated, luxe style interior design is all about attention to detail. Shiny metals, cool marble, reflective surfaces and silky fabrics all help to capture this stunning interior style.
Luxe homes are light and airy and feature a pared-back elegance. Mirrored and metallic finishes are a huge part of a luxe interior and play the basis for any luxe bedroom makeover. Choose furniture with high-shine mirrored surfaces, such as bedside tables or dressing tables, and create symmetry to fall in line with this trend.
Textiles in the luxe home interiors style are, of course, rich and sumptuous. Look for chairs and headboards upholstered in plush velvet. Complement this with an assortment of neutral or silver-toned cushions or blankets for an understated elegance.

Minimalism
Minimal interior design is characterised by clean lines and a peaceful ambience. Less really is more when it comes to minimal decor spaces, so keep clutter at bay and prioritise functionality as well as form.
However, there is so much more to minimalist interior design than white walls and very few accessories. Instead, this kind of sophistication is achieved through selecting pieces that work in harmony with each other; either purposefully or purely aesthetic.
Minimal interior spaces are suited to those looking to create areas of peace and tranquillity, which lends itself to the bedroom space perfectly. This style is also an excellent way to use texture to breathe life and comfort into what may otherwise feel like a very bland space.

Minimalistic at its finest, this Gallery Interiors Milano 6 Drawer Chest is designed with no handles to create a minimalist appearance, perfect if this is the bedroom makeover direction you are taking.
