49 Small Master Bedroom Ideas

1. Rustic Blue

Bedroom with wooden cabinet and window

This room is beautiful and perfect for the little part of you that loves rooms with an old-but-not-outdated feel.

With a gorgeous choice of wallpaper, a perfect combination of colors, and old, reused, or refurbished furniture, this room is perfect for anyone, especially if you love thrifting as much as we do.

But don’t feel limited by the blue-and-white theme! This theme would look just as nice with yellows, pinks, and even grays!

2. Hotel Chic

Wood panelled bedroom

Ever look at a hotel room and think that you would love that luxury, service-with-a-smile feel? This room embodies that and more with a lovely minimalist style.

3. The Tall-Hearted Minimalist

White bedroom with parquet flooring and wardrobe

Love the look of clean and tidy? Maybe a white, minimalist bedroom is what you’re looking for. This room may be small, but it sure looks a lot bigger.

The curtains over the door and the tall wardrobe make the room feel much bigger than it actually is, and you’d be amazed at how easy it is to recreate.

You can also add mirrors to the walls! But don’t be afraid to add a splash of color, as seen above, because total white-out may not be for everyone.

4. The Enlarged Dorm

Simple hotel bedroom with wooden interior

This room hasn’t quite moved out of its college years and still utilizes the simplicity and functionality of a college dorm room—just with a little bit of extra space.

The mirror amplifies this effect by reflecting more light and giving the illusion of a larger area.

5. Pretty in Vintage Pink

Pink bedroom for girl

If you want your bedroom to feel full of vintage wonders and secrets, this style might be for you.

The key element is the old wardrobe, which has a lock reminiscent of those in movies and hides magical things. The woven chair adds a rustic, handmade touch.

The color theme of beautiful pinks and grays is perfect for lovers of soft hues. If pink isn’t your style, consider yellow and gray, white and gray, or green and gray for a fantastic color scheme.

6. The Autumn Tone

Oriental inspired bedroom design

Can’t get enough of fall? Neither can we. Incorporating earthy tones into your bedroom can be challenging, but this example does it beautifully.

The room evokes a Japanese hotel with its cherry blossom design on the blinds.

The uniform wood tones, browns, grays, and minimal black create a stunning color scheme that will make you fall in love with the space, even if you don’t usually prefer the minimalist style.

7. The Business Side of Things

Monochromatic white bedroom

This sleek bedroom is perfect for the busy professional. The all-white color scheme, from walls to furniture and bedding, creates a bright, cohesive look that makes the room feel spacious.

Minimalistic design reduces visual clutter, enhancing openness.

Natural light flooding through the door highlights the airy feel, making the room look even larger. This setup is functional and sophisticated, ideal for a tranquil retreat after a busy day.

8. Warm and Clean

Modern white hotel bedroom with closet

The key to this room isn’t the white, as it may be in others, but the lighting. A mixture of bright whites and warm yellow undertones gives this room the contrast it needs to feel clean and warm.

The light wood mixed with white and gray match the lights perfectly, and if you’re looking for comfort that’s a bit closer to the minimalist rooms you see elsewhere, this style may be a good idea.

9. The Functional Space

Modern white bedroom with make up table

It’s amazing how much you can fit into a small room without it looking messy. This space manages to include a vanity, a desk, and a television!

Naturally, because of the size of these items, the bed size is compromised. However, this setup shows that you can have all the functionality of an office and a bedroom if you’re willing to sacrifice a king-sized bed.

10. The Land-Lover

Modern neutral bedroom furniture

The warm, honey-toned wood furniture creates a harmonious and inviting atmosphere, complemented by the lush greenery that brings a touch of the outdoors inside.

This space effortlessly combines functionality and aesthetics, making it a tranquil retreat for anyone who loves a natural, rustic style.

11. The Reflective Retreat

Modern minimalist bedroom with sliding glass wardrobe

This modern bedroom, bathed in natural light, is perfect for those who don’t want to search for a mirror in the morning.

The monochromatic color scheme, featuring shades of gray and black, adds a sophisticated touch, while the large windows provide a stunning view and plenty of daylight.

12. The Expensive Student

This room is a perfect inspiration for those with small masters and tall walls. To keep the room from feeling too empty, optimize this space with longer ceiling lights and larger decorations.

13. Bed-Focused

If your room is a bit too small for excess decoration or furniture, make sure your bed is the perfect space-filler and make it functional. Observe the drawers built into the bed above.

14. The Tri-Color Wood-Lover

Putting the bed in the middle of the room can be risky, but if your master is longer than it is wide like this one, you can use it to your benefit without everything feeling overcrowded.

15. The Mix-Match

Modern hotel bedroom with wardrobe

You may think you can’t have the black-and-white color scheme you want when your master is overrun with wood tones, but that’s definitely not true.

Observe the gorgeous coordination of the grayscale bed surrounded by an evenly-toned wood.

16. The Fashionista

17. Color-Cozy

This room combines the ever-so-beloved grayscale with perfect pops of greenery in clear vases. Notice how furniture and decor are placed in relation to having three doors taking up space in the room.

This room has the perfect move-night-in vibe. With tones of beige and brown, dimmer lighting, and the television in perfect view of the bed, it’s perfect for a nice Saturday in with some popcorn.

20. The Organized Student

Perfect for the student who needs to keep their bedroom as clean and organized as their headspace. The stool at the desk slides underneath it, allowing it to be neatly tucked away after use—a definite must-have.

21. The Skyline Literate

Modern bedroom with wardrobe and window

This room is perfect for those who love reading in bed. With perfect lighting and movable lights right above the bed, any late-night bookworm is sure to love it.

Also take notice of how the nightstand is dual-purposed, acting as both a bedside table and a bookcase.

22. The Lovable Single

Modern bedroom with office table and window

If you’ve only got the room for a single bed and a desk and love the clean white and gray theme, this room is right up your alley.

This room makes the most of the wall space and has storage all the way up to the ceiling, preventing the need for excess furniture that would clutter the room.

23. The Dark Horse

If late nights and darkness are your aesthetic, this room should totally inspire you. Notice how much texture the sequin pillow adds to the otherwise flat room.

24. Gray and Wooly

Modern bedroom with grey bed and wardrobe

This room has a very modern cabin vibe. Wood tones, built-in lighting, and an overall clean build make it perfect for those who love luxury.

26. The Funky City-Lover

Modern bedroom with artistic interior

For the more adventurous decorator, yellows and Blues can be a bit scary to get into, but this room offers a perfect example of how well these colors can fit together.

Another great addition is the bed frame, which is reminiscent of a pull-out bed without all of the discomforts of a pull-out bed.

27. The Crescent Moon

For those of you with a room like this one that’s shaped a bit like a flattened crescent moon and have no idea how to handle it. Notice where the furniture is placed and how the angle of the bed offers a bit of privacy.

36. Grandma’s House

Here, we have another room with an oddly-shaped roofing situation. This room goes less for a modern or functional vibe and was definitely built for comfort. Warm, comfy, just like grandma’s house.

37. Simple Ombre

Contemporary bedroom interior

Notice how the mirror makes this room seem just a bit spacier than it actually is.

41. The Sharp Room

Black and white modern bedroom with wardrobe

Another way to place the bed in the center of the room while maintaining functionality and preventing it from feeling too cramped.

45. Techy-Spaced Minimalist

Bedroom in contemporary style

This room embraces a techy-spaced minimalist design, utilizing solid shapes and clean lines to create a uniform, modern look.

The sleek furniture, neutral color palette, and strategic use of space contribute to a clutter-free and sophisticated atmosphere, perfect for those who appreciate simplicity and contemporary style.

Beautifully fitted wardrobes

This room exemplifies the artful use of patterns as a cohesive theme—notice the curtains, bedspread, picture frames, and chandelier. The design achieves a harmonious look without appearing tacky or overdone.

47. Royal in Purple
