![]() ![]() “It’s bold patterns on the whole, but especially stripes, that we have noticed are proving popular for 2023,” says Caz Myers, founder of Caz Myers Design. ![]() From traditional smaller-scale ticking stripes for the more reserved and traditional interior decorators, versus more striking stripes for the contemporary interiors fellows working in the industry, we’re seeing stripes being incorporated into bedroom designs in an altogether bolder and almost, dare we say, theatrical fashion. Friend to many an interior designer - and popping up in flooring trends for 2023 too - stripes are big news in bedrooms next year. If you have classic furniture and bedding and a traditional area rug, you can show a bit of whimsy with an accent wall.You love ‘em, or you hate ‘em. Think wall colors in soft grays, tans, and greens instead of deep jewel tones. To keep that traditional bedroom design, the drapes, bed linens, and area rug should have similar hues to keep a classic, neutral vibe. Today’s traditional is more of an airy motif, so when you are dressing the bed, use several sizes of pillows, but ensure that not all of them are fringed and tasseled. How about mixing things up with a nice nubby throw? Or even some fabulous faux fur in a neutral color? You can use a tufted comforter with a pop of color or pattern and still maintain that traditional look. Classic traditional often have throw blankets at the end of the bed, carefully folded and stretched taut for a clean look. Use colored lampshades to add symmetry and a pop of color. Stay traditional, but go a bit modern, and switch them out for drum-shaped. Forgo lampshades that are fluted, scalloped, fringed, bell-shaped, and need regular blow-outs with a leaf blower to get the dust off.Instead, pick a few favorite items that evoke a peaceful feeling or happy memories and use those as your accents. For example, you might find tiny statues on the dressers with several different kinds of jewelry organizers, or a haircare set with an ornate hand mirror and collections of small figurines on the end tables and in the bookshelves. Old traditional design has knick-knacks everywhere.Just be sure, if you have an upholstered headboard, you don’t go too small or fussy with the artwork. You can also go with a gallery wall behind the bed or even a large, stretched canvas piece. One large framed piece of artwork centered above the headboard is a big part of traditional bedroom design.Decorative patterned shades (instead of plain shades or blinds) fit into that traditional design aesthetic. Use less fussy drapes, maybe with tassels or decorative fringe on the bottom. Drapes with fussy patterns, tasseled tiebacks, and shears underneath are traditional.You can use a dresser with a similar stain and ornate hardware, and everything will play together nicely. An ornate four-poster would be traditional, but use end tables with less scrollwork. Collect and use bedroom furniture with the same stain color, basic shape, and scale. You can go for a collection look and maintain that traditional feel. The traditional style matches its end tables, bed frame, and dressers. Use furniture that looks like it came from a collection.Use an unexpected pattern to give a jolt to traditional design, like polka-dot pillow shams or floral prints. Keep the classic floral pattern but go for patterns on a white or cream background. An area rug adds texture and pattern to a traditional bedroom design. You can choose traditional designs or switch it up to an area rug with a simple, medium-sized geometric print or jute, or even animal hide. Bring in an area rug and place it underneath the bed.How about a bright ottoman or a modern, trending starburst mirror? Switch it up for traditional looks Take classic bedroom ideas and add contemporary touches with pops of color. Traditional bedroom design elements include hardwood or reclaimed pine floors, beamed or paneled ceilings, deeper baseboards paired with wainscoting, and crown molding. Getting the idea? If there’s a comfortable chair, there will be a table, perhaps an ottoman, and a lamp grouped with it to make it a classic setting. ![]()
