Cutwork windows, beds that seemingly hang in mid-air, neutral palettes, metallic tones … these and other ideas have caught our readers’ eyes of late. Here we list six of the most popular bedrooms, as measured by the most viewed and most saved photos from Indian homes, from January to September 2020.
1. A suspended bed
Firm: Between Walls
If you can’t go on a vacation (especially in these times), bring the destination home. This bedroom successfully recreates the Mediterranean vibe in all its glory of pristine white interspersed with shades of blue. Additionally, the dangling bed brings home the holiday vibe by the spadeful. Made in IPS and topped off with a luxuriously thick mattress, it tricks the eye into believing it’s suspended from the ceiling thanks to the jute ropes attached from above.
The rustic coastal vibe continues into the terrace – Kota tiles used in a random pattern for the flooring echo the cobbled streets of Greece.

2. Perforated partitions
Firm: Dipen Gada & Associates
A bedroom subtle in colours and decor, boasting clean lines, is no less impactful. The swivelling perforated screens that stand in for windows allow in breeze while restricting the harsh sun, at the same time presiding over the room with their visually striking design.
The veneer-panelled headboard that conceals light fixtures and features strategic cutouts comes into its own at nighttime, adorning the room with dappled light and shadow patterns.

3. Natty neutrals
Firm: Ekta Khanna Design Studio
A neutral palette helps create an atmosphere of casual chic; and since neutral colours blend in easily, it’s important to consider textures and patterns for neutral decor to be effective. Here, tall flowing drapes in a subdued colour add a healthy dose of sophistication, as does the rich-looking bed linen and the plush velvet carpet. White wooden mini chandeliers suspended on either side of the bed add ornate detail to the decor. A dash of bold contrast through the wallpaper anchors the neutrals and saves the bedroom from becoming too soporific.
Tip: Hang your drapes from right below the ceiling, leaving no wall space in sight – this adds inches to the height of a room and visually enlarges the space.

4. Gold accents
Firm: deSigneR - Architects & Interior Designers
This bedroom is a lesson in how to decorate with metallic tones without going over the top. The several hints of gold – the trimmings on the closets, its gilded knobs and the golden candlesticks – are balanced with different textures in the soft furnishings, such as the velvety bed and cushions, and the shaggy rug, which let the metallic accents contrast and stand out on their own.
Tip: It’s best to keep the colour scheme fairly subdued (like this bedroom has) when incorporating a lot of metallic pieces in a room to achieve a tasteful, luxurious vibe.

5. Do it with mirrors
Firm: The Artisanal Story
Why stick to one mirror when you can have several? The panelling of mirrors over the bed in this image not only serves as a stunning focal point but gives the impression that the room is larger than it seems. The grey and white scheme gets an injection of colour via the padded yellow headboard.

6. Wickerwork wonder
Firm: Inscape Designers
Wickerwork is moving beyond laundry baskets and pot holders into the realm of ‘real’ furniture. This bed, with its intricately woven design, is reminiscent of vintage style. Paired with soft pink bedding and flanked by trendy light shades, set against a foil of an abstract print wallpaper, the classic piece of furniture segues beautifully into a contemporary setting.
Tip: If you’re looking for furniture that packs a punch aesthetically but doesn’t add visual weight to your space, rattan is the perfect option.
Note: Wicker refers to anything made of thin strips of woody material woven together, while rattan is one such material.
