How to Style a Midtown Chic Bedroom

 

There’s something alluring about midtown style, and you’ll be happy to know you don’t have to be bound by the location to achieve it. This effortless look is truly a state of mind, mixing and matching upscale elements with urban pieces. The idea of melding two different styles may seem like a challenge, but we’re here to make it a piece of cake. 

We’ve simplified midtown styling by curating a look that centers around rustic-industrial pieces, refined by classy, sophisticated elements. As we go through a bedroom step by step, you’ll see how minor details can make all the difference.

Make the Most of a Small Space

If you happen to live midtown, you’re probably living in a smaller space. But, keep in mind, it’s less about the size of a space and more about how you accentuate what you have. In a smaller bedroom, consider pieces that pull double duty, like beds with built-in storageOpens in a new window.

 

As for other storage options, we love styling with the Sommerford collection. The bedOpens in a new window, nightstandOpens in a new window, dresserOpens in a new window and chest of drawersOpens in a new window all offer plentiful space with a streamlined design.

Stick With Neutrals

Neutrals help keep a space light, open and airy. It’s the ideal color palette for refined versatility, and our styled picks quell all notions of it ever being “boring”. Neutrals also give you the opportunity to play with textures and patterns. For example, beautiful pieces like the Dilanne vaseOpens in a new window add interesting dimension without being overwhelming.

 

If you want to go bolder, try gold or silver metallic accent pieces for a well-placed pop that doesn’t stray too far from classic neutrals.

Hang it Up

If you’re not a fan of accent pieces that take up precious surface space, wall decor is your go-to styling choice. The DonnanOpens in a new window wall decor panels placed over a bed creates a modernized regal vibe. For a more contemporary feel, the DrayenOpens in a new window wall decor captivates with an intricate, lavish pattern.

 

Inject Industrial Style

You’ll find the perfect balance of rustic charm and cool, industrial details with the Sommerford collection.

Add Cozy Elements

To expand on the homey feel, place a plush poufOpens in a new window or two in the room to soften up the look, all while serving as a casual footrest or tabletop.
