Traditional Bedroom Ideas
Traditional bedrooms exude elegance, classic design and charm. Although they’re more formal in design, they still feel comfortable and welcoming thanks to rich colors, textures and decorative elements. If you’re on the lookout for some traditional bedroom ideas to incorporate in your home, read our guide below and find inspiration in our extensive photo gallery.
1. Choose a Color Palette
Most colors work in traditional bedrooms, so pick out a palette that will make you feel most relaxed and at home. If you want to create a light and airy space, muted shades of blue, yellow, green or blush pink look gorgeous against crisp white wood. For a stately look, go with deep shades of red, blue or green and wood in rich, natural stains. Incorporate velvet, linen and soft fabrics throughout your bedroom.
2. Pick Out Unique Furniture
Don’t shy away from mixing and matching furniture pieces in various styles or finishes. A collected look will only enhance the traditional charm and elegance of your bedroom. If you’re picking out a bed frame, upholstered, wooden and four poster frames would all work well. If you’ve got the space, consider adding in luxurious touches like a tufted bench at the foot of the bed, or a stately armchair in the corner.
3. Make It Your Own with Decorative Touches
Traditional bedrooms aren’t finished without balanced decor pieces that give the space character and ambiance. You could opt for a French toile wallpaper, an ornate wall mirror or vintage prints of flowers. Crown molding or wainscoting can really give your bedroom a finished look, as can floor-length curtains or a chandelier.

This six-bedroom home — all with en-suite bathrooms — is a brand new home on one of Lincoln Park's most desirable streets. The neo-Georgian, brick and limestone façade features well-crafted detailing both inside and out. The lower recreation level is expansive, with 9-foot ceilings throughout. The first floor houses elegant living and dining areas, as well as a large kitchen with attached great room, and the second floor holds an expansive master suite with a spa bath and vast walk-in closets. A grand, elliptical staircase ascends throughout the home, concluding in a sunlit penthouse providing access to an expansive roof deck and sweeping views of the city..

I like how they have a small balcony so they can let air in. I also like how everything is a different color but if it is the same color it's a different shade. - webuser_892042824

like the panel wall - like the 2 different color paints-like the color-like the bed frame - shelly_nesbitt
A spacious shower that flows into the bathtub frame is a great way to elongate the look of your bathroom. Paired with the large format tile with natural-looking striping, this bathroom embodies a modern feel with some decorative finishes. ADA compliant hand rails in the shower give this family the comfort and utility they need while updating the space.
