Top 10 Bedroom Trends We’re Predicting for 2026

If you’re as obsessed with stylish sleep as we are here at Funkybedz, you’ll already know that trends change faster than a Yorkshire breeze. One minute everyone wants cool grey headboards; the next it’s all about warm rust and mossy green. Our crew have been chatting with designers, snooping around industry reports and getting messy in our Yorkshire workshop to bring you the trends we think will dominate in 2026. This isn’t about fads; it’s about practical ideas that make your bedroom feel like a sanctuary.

From colours that make you feel grounded to materials that echo our love of nature, here’s our countdown of the top 10 trends to watch. Naturally we’ve woven in a few Funkybedz tips, because what good is a trend list without some Yorkshire made style?

1. Warm, Earthy Hues

Creams and greys have had their day. In 2025 we’re seeing a shift towards warm, earthy colours that hug the space. Designers are predicting that rich beiges, warm chocolates and subtle terracottas will replace cool greys and whites as our go to bedroom palette. Other experts agree, noting that earthy tones like soft browns and muted greens create a grounded atmosphere. These palettes work beautifully with natural materials and upholstered furniture.

Consider painting your walls in a cosy biscuit shade and layering textures through cushions and throws. Our ottoman beds and wingback frames look stunning against warm tones, especially when upholstered in plush velvet or tactile boucle.

Plus, rich colours pair well with wood finishes and metal accents, perfect for those who love mixing materials (more on that later).

2. Colour and Pattern Drenching

Move over feature walls; all walls want a turn. Colour drenching, painting walls, trim and even ceilings in the same hue, has been big, but 2026 takes it up a notch. Designers call “double drenching” the pairing of two analogous colours for a layered effect. Tone on tone shades create subtle depth, like blue walls with green trim or terracotta walls with peach mouldings.

Pattern drenching (wallpapering or upholstering multiple surfaces in the same motif) is also gaining traction. Think all over botanical wallpaper, matching curtains and upholstered headboards. It might sound chaotic, but when done with complementary colours and scale it makes rooms feel cosy rather than cluttered.

Consider a botanical print behind one of our gas lift beds; the bold pattern draws the eye while the bed’s clean lines anchor the space.

3. Biophilic and Nature Inspired Décor

Our need to reconnect with nature is influencing interior design. Biophilic design intertwines natural elements with indoor spaces to enhance mental and physical well being. It incorporates sunlight, living houseplants and sustainable materials and uses organic shapes and nature inspired hues to evoke calm. Designers also note that biophilic elements like green plants, natural wood furniture and soft linen or jute help bedrooms feel relaxing and serene.

Bringing biophilic design into your bedroom could mean anything from layering earthy textures to installing a living wall. Start by letting in natural light and adding houseplants; spider plants and fiddle leaf figs are low maintenance favourites. Choose furniture crafted from natural materials, such as our wooden bed frames upholstered in linen.

Plants purify the air and promote better sleep, while curved silhouettes mimic the gentle forms found in nature.

4. Curves and Shapely Furniture

Sharp corners are officially out. Designers say soft, rounded furniture, from sofas and armchairs to headboards and nightstands, will dominate bedrooms. The aim is to mimic the perfect imperfection of nature with sculptural forms and scalloped edges. Biophilic design also embraces organic curves and flowing lines.

Curvy furniture adds a sense of movement and relaxation. Consider a bed with an arched headboard or a scalloped ottoman at the foot. Our Chesterfield bed frames with their rolled edges and deep buttoning tap into this trend, as do our sleigh beds. Pair them with circular nightstands or a round rug to soften the room and invite you to curl up with a cuppa.

5. Textured Walls and Layered Patterns

Flat paint is being pushed aside in favour of walls with character. Designers highlight the use of raked or plastered finishes that create dreamy texture. These surfaces add depth and complement warm hues. Grandmillennial style, which blends traditional patterns like florals and stripes with modern colour palettes, is also resurfacing.

Layered patterns can be intimidating, so balance is key. Combine a delicate floral wallpaper with striped cushions, or pair a textured wall with graphic bedding. Our drawer storage beds offer a clean base for bold patterns, stash clutter in the drawers and let your walls and textiles do the talking.

6. Vintage Charm and Grandmillennial Flourish

Nostalgia sells. Many designers note a resurgence of vintage and “grandmillennial” aesthetics. This style mixes antique furniture, retro patterns and collected treasures to create a space full of character. Vintage nightstands, velvet chairs and floral wallpapers are all fair game.

At Funkybedz we love the idea of combining heritage pieces with modern beds. Imagine an antique chest of drawers beside one of our divan beds; you get the charm of yesteryear plus the comfort of a handcrafted, Yorkshire made mattress. Look for second hand mirrors, quilted throws and old books to add personality. The key is to curate rather than clutter: let each piece tell a story without overwhelming the room.

7. Draped Curtains, Canopy Beds and Statement Windows

Window treatments are going from functional to fabulous. Designers describe a shift toward draping the entire wall behind the bed with curtains to create an enveloping atmosphere. Many also point out a renewed love for canopy beds; not just in grand country houses but in modern settings too. These elements make your sleeping space feel like a private cocoon and act as a focal point.

If floor to ceiling curtains aren’t for you, consider a canopy inspired headboard that extends upward for a similar effect. Our TV beds and TV beds with storage benefit from this trend: a curtain backdrop hides the television mechanism when not in use and gives the bed a boutique hotel vibe. For small spaces, a fabric canopy anchored to the ceiling draws the eye up and makes the room feel taller.

8. Sustainable Materials and Eco Friendly Practices

Sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s a necessity. Organic cotton, bamboo and reclaimed wood are increasingly popular because they’re durable and eco friendly. Designers encourage choosing furniture made from responsibly sourced wood and rattan and using organic textiles.

We’re proud to say that Funkybedz sources timber from sustainable forests and offers upholstery fabrics that meet stringent environmental standards. Investing in a high quality bed frame or mattress made to last (like our mattress collection) reduces waste and often costs less in the long run. And if you’re updating your bedroom, donate or recycle old furniture rather than sending it to landfill.

9. Smart Furniture and Multi Functional Spaces

The bedroom is no longer just for sleeping, especially when you live in a small flat or need a work from home nook. Designers highlight the growing popularity of space saving furniture: beds with built in storage, desks that fold down from the wall and nightstands with charging stations. These pieces keep clutter at bay and make your room adaptable without sacrificing style.

At Funkybedz, we’ve championed multi functional furniture for years. Our range of end lift storage beds and side lift storage beds offers generous compartments for linens, shoes and seasonal clothing. Pair them with a wall mounted desk or a slim bookcase to transform a bedroom corner into a workspace. Remember, function and fashion aren’t mutually exclusive.

10. Personalised Spaces and Warm Minimalism

The biggest trend for 2026 is making your bedroom feel uniquely yours. Designers predict a move toward personal, collected spaces that tell the story of those who live there. That might mean mixing vintage finds with new pieces or creating a cosy reading nook filled with books and heirlooms. Many call this “warm minimalism” – simple yet textured rooms featuring creamy beiges, terracotta accents and natural materials.

Personalisation is at the heart of Funkybedz. With our “You Design, We Deliver” service, you choose the headboard style, fabric and storage option that reflects your taste. Whether you love maximalist flourishes or calm neutrals, we can craft a bed that complements your vision. Add framed photos, sentimental ornaments and your favourite scented candles to complete the look.

Trends come and go, but a well made bed is forever. As we head into 2026, the key themes are warmth, nature, craftsmanship and individuality. From earthy palettes and biophilic décor to smart storage and personalised details, these trends celebrate comfort and creativity. The beauty of them is that they can be tailored to your space and budget.
