2022 was an interesting year for interior design trends, especially for bedrooms. While our bedrooms should be our sanctuaries, they are often neglected because they aren’t open for guests. However, as many of us got back to work post-pandemic, our bedrooms and their design have become far more essential. It’s also important to note that bedrooms are especially important in luxury homes, even beyond aesthetics and comfort. The right finishes, features and styles can potentially add value to the price of a home.
Whether you are looking to renovate your current bedroom or seeking inspiration for a new home, here are six bedroom trends we saw in luxury homes on the market in 2022.
Frosted Doors

One interesting trend that has popped up in the past two years is frosted doors. It’s a modern touch that can be used throughout the home but has been particularly popular for closets as well as en-suite bathrooms. Take the double frosted doors in this new construction home in McLean, Virginia, for example. Sleekly designed, the room also features a grand trayed ceiling. The en-suite has both a soaking tub and large walk-in shower.
Sconces

Sconces have been a major lighting trend in most rooms throughout the home including the bathroom and living room, but they are especially ideal for bedrooms. This is because they don’t take up any additional space on the nightstand. They are also a more unique touch than standard lamps. From modern to traditional and contemporary, the style of sconces runs the gamut.
Sconces have also become popular when built into the wall next to a headboard as seen in the bedroom of this stunning estate in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is just one incredible detail in this noteworthy property.

Floating Furniture
Along the same lines of sconces, floating furniture is another trend we saw in 2022. For example, the floating drawer at this incredible home at 2508 Cuernavaca Drive in Austin, Texas, is an ideal way to add some extra storage to this well-designed bedroom.

Floating nightstands have also been falling into favor in recent years. They’re a great way to save space, particularly in city apartments and condos where square footage is at a premium. But no matter how you install floating furniture, know this trend is more than a fading fad and likely won’t look dated in a year or two. We’ve also seen floating storage in other spaces like bathrooms.
Sitting Areas
Adding a sitting area to a larger bedroom is a great way to use the space and elevate it. For example, this elegant home in a parklike setting located in Bethesda, Maryland, has a large master bedroom with a sitting area that’s nearly the size of a living room with a sofa, two chairs and an ottoman. It offers a perfect spot for reading, lounging or watching television in a spot that isn’t the actual bed.

No matter the size of a bedroom, there are a variety of ways these spaces can be styled, whether you have a chaise lounge, settee or a comfortable recliner.

Custom Closets
What home couldn’t use additional storage space? It’s important to maximize a master closet. Forget double rods and a shelf or two. Add value to a home by going for a custom closet such as the one seen in this fabulous New York-style residence in the heart of Yorkville, Ontario.

The closet features a rich wood finish and plenty of space for hanging clothing as well as storing handbags and shoes. The mirror on the wall is a smart addition that makes it easy to get dressed in the morning. But this closet isn’t the only thing this home offers, it also has a newly renovated kitchen as well as contemporary bathrooms that are the epitome of charming.
Hanging Chairs
This hanging chair adds an element of fun to this children’s room.
Hanging chairs are especially trendy in children’s and teenagers’ bedrooms as seen in this adorable room in this luxurious modern farmhouse in Tualatin, Oregon. While this room features a boho-style fabric chair, clear acrylic and rattan hanging chairs are also great choices. There’s no easier way to add a fun dose of character to these spaces.
