FAQ

How do you spell bedroom correctly?

In modern usage, it’s generally written as one word: bedroom. That single-word spelling is widely used in home listings, design guides, and shopping categories.

  • Use bedroom when you mean the room or the product category (for example, bedroom furniture or bedroom decor).
  • Bed room may appear in older texts or as a descriptive phrase, but it’s uncommon today.
  • When browsing, searching for “bedroom” typically aligns best with categories like furniture, bedding, and storage.

Style choices can vary, so if you’re working on a project or document, it can help to stay consistent with a single spelling throughout.

What are common bedroom synonyms?

You might see different terms used for sleeping spaces. Here are common alternatives and what they usually mean:

  • Primary bedroom or main bedroom: the principal sleeping room in a home.
  • Guest room or spare room: a room prepared for visitors.
  • Kids’ room: a child’s sleeping and play space.
  • Sleeping area or sleeping nook: a designated space within a studio or open layout.

Names can vary by region and listing style. When shopping, focusing on the room’s function (sleeping, storage, study) can help you find furniture and decor that fits your needs regardless of the label.

What’s the 60-30-10 color rule for bedrooms?

The 60-30-10 rule is a simple color guideline that can create balance without overcomplicating your palette:

  1. 60% dominant color: walls, large rugs, or major bedding pieces.
  2. 30% secondary color: furniture finishes, curtains, or an upholstered chair.
  3. 10% accent color: throw pillows, art, lamps, or small decor.

This approach can make it easier to coordinate items and switch accents seasonally. It’s flexible—natural light, room size, and your style may lead you to adjust the proportions. Sampling colors and fabrics first can help you see how they work together before you commit.

What counts as a bedroom in a home?

For general planning, a bedroom is typically an enclosed space intended for sleeping. Common features include:

  • Privacy: a door or partition separating it from common areas.
  • Space for a bed: room to fit a mattress and allow safe movement around it.
  • Ventilation and light: a window is often expected for comfort and egress in many areas.
  • Storage: a closet may be common in some markets, though expectations vary.

Real estate definitions and building codes differ by location, which can affect how a room is listed or permitted. If you need a formal definition for a sale, rental, or renovation, consider checking local guidelines or consulting a qualified professional in your area.

How can I make a small bedroom feel bigger?

A few layout and styling choices can help a compact bedroom feel more open:

  • Lighten the palette: choose a lighter base color and keep window treatments airy.
  • Scale furniture: pick pieces proportional to the room and keep pathways clear.
  • Add storage: try a storage bed, under-bed bins, or a tall dresser to use vertical space.
  • Use mirrors: reflect light and extend sightlines.
  • Limit visual clutter: coordinate bedding and decor so the eye reads fewer breaks.
  • Shop smart: use site filters to sort by size, storage features, and delivery or pickup options.

Mix and match these ideas to suit your layout and natural light.

Ideas for a bedroom

Bedroom Furniture

When it comes to decorating your bedroom, start with your bedroom furniture. This will take care of the functional parts of the room.

Beds & bed frames

There are many beds to choose from. Start by deciding what size your bed should be. This will also determine what size your mattress will be. You can find standard sizes for beds (from Queen beds to California King beds) in our bedroom furniture buying guide.

Once you've decided on the size of your bed, start thinking about material and style. We love metal beds for a vintage-inspired look and wood beds work well for almost any style. Darker wood beds are more traditional while lighter woods work for boho or Scandinavian-style bedrooms.

Think about storage space as well. If you live in a small apartment or house, the space under your bed can be a valuable place for under-the-bed storage.

Mattresses, mattress pads, and accessories

Make sure you find a mattress that fits your sleep style and preferences. From traditional inner spring mattresses to memory foam to gel, there are a variety to choose from. Need help finding the best mattress for your bedroom? Be sure to read our guide to the best mattress.

Mattress protectors can increase the lifespan of your mattress and mattress pads can add an additional level of comfort or cooling to your mattress as well. Find more information about each mattress accessory and everything you need in our Sleep Well at Home shop.

Dressers

Whether you have a closet or not, a dresser can be a great place to house additional clothing and other items. You can choose between a horizontal dresser or a vertical dresser. Consider how many items you'll want to store in this piece of bedroom furniture. Use this to determine how many drawers you need and how deep they should be.

Nightstands

Nightstands are one of the most useful bedroom furniture pieces. They are perfect for keeping books, tablets, journals, or anything else you might want to use while in bed. We also love nightstands with USB charging capabilities. These allow you to charge your electronics without needing to buy an extension cord or reach around for a plug.

Accent chairs

An accent chair can be a wonderful addition to a bedroom. It gives you a place to sit as you're getting ready and can also be a nice place to come to relax. We love having an accent chair styled with a side table for a little reading nook in a bedroom.

Bedroom vanities

If you want a special place to get ready in the morning or evening, consider a bedroom vanity. These are perfect if you have a small bathroom and need an additional space to put on makeup or check. This extra mirror can also help your bedroom feel bigger.

Bedroom benches

A bench at the end of your bed is another great option for a bedroom. Not only does this create an elegant aesthetic, but it also gives you a nice place to keep folded blankets or put on shoes in the morning.

Bedroom sets

When styling your bedroom, you'll want each piece to work well with the others. This means finding items in the same style, same material, same color. If this sounds overwhelming, consider purchasing a bedroom set which comes with key bedroom furnishings, all in the same aesthetic.

Bedroom decor ideas

Bedroom decor is an important part of your bedroom. It's what creates that cozy, welcoming atmosphere that helps you relax. Some of our favorite bedroom decor items are wall art, candles and diffusers, soft lighting, and decorative pillows.

Bedside lighting

As we mentioned above, lighting is key when it comes to decorating your bedroom. Because you'll want to wind down at night, you don't want bright lights that usually come from your ceiling fixtures. At the same time, if you like to read at night or chat with a partner, you'll want to make sure your bedroom isn't completely dark. We love table lamps that sit on your nightstand or wall sconces that are installed on either side of your bed.

Wall art

Wall art can add a big stylistic element to your bedroom. One of our favorite bedroom wall art ideas is using an oversized piece above your bed. If your bed doesn't have a headboard, this can be a great alternative. A gallery wall or set of three art prints can be perfect for adding a bit of personality to this room as well.

Bedding

When choosing bedding, there are a few factors to keep in mind. First, what types of bedding are you looking for. Depending on your preferences, you'll want to choose between a comforter and a duvet, a sheet set or just the fitted sheet, bed skirts, and more. You can learn about the different types of bedding, sizes, and quality-ratings in our ultimate guide to bedding.

You'll also want to think about your sleeping habits and characteristics. Are you a hot sleeper? A cold sleeper? This will determine the material and make of your bedding. You can find more about bedding for any type of sleeper in our Sleep Well at Home shop. This shop also helps you find the perfect mattress for your sleep style. You can also read our guide to choosing the best mattress for detailed information about mattresses.

Finally, think about the style that you're looking for. A bold pattern can add to an eclectic bedroom while neutrals are perfect for modern or Scandinavian style homes. We love bed skirts for farmhouse style homes and floral prints are perfect for spring.
