32 Aesthetic Room Ideas for Every Style

Murphy beds get a bad rap, but you can make one look very elevated. If you live in a small space, like this studio apartment designed by Neal Beckstedt, a fold-up bed is the way to go for an eye-pleasing apartment. Not only is it an aesthetic room idea that gives you more floor space, aka entertaining space, but the alcove makes it cozier.

Is there anything more luxurious or aesthetically pleasing than a bedroom with French doors that open onto a beautiful backyard? Designer Brooke Wagner created an airy bedroom that coordinates perfectly with this sandstone patio.

Designed by Kylee Shintaffer for a Montana vacation home, this bedroom can be your wallpaper inspiration from now until forever. It's perfectly busy and a nice counter to the wood-paneled ceiling. You can even put up wallpaper yourself as a weekend DIY project.

This Kylee Shintaffer design is a playful example of leaving no space unstyled—even a hallway. These bunks are one of our favorite aesthetic room ideas: They add space for guests and look so cozy. Creating new built-in areas of your home makes it seem more lived-in and gives it a unique touch that others won't have.

Don't take up unnecessary floor or table space with lamps. Use sconces next to your bed instead. They give the room a mature touch and add character to your wall, like this one from the Etsy shop Sputniklights.

It's the interior equivalent of matching your purse to your shoes and lipstick. Your room will instantly become more aesthetic, and you can layer the furniture to break up the space and add depth, as designer Mark D. Sikes did here.

Give an old house some modern charm with your lighting choices. You don't have to mess with the original integrity of the house to make it more your style, as Melissa LaSalle's 1930s Colonial-style home shows. Incorporating a bohemian light fixture and some patterned sheets and curtains is an aesthetic room idea that simply works.

You don't need a gallery wall if your headboard is work of art in itself. Add limewash painted walls like these, and you'll have an aesthetic room to remember.

In her own Seattle-area lake house, Heidi Caillier demonstrates how mixed textures and patterns immediately warm up a bare-bones space (without distracting from this spectacular view, either!). It helps to have a gigantic window too.

No detail is overlooked in this bathroom by Shelley Johnstone–notice the Greek Key trim along the walls, which coordinates with the blush velvet on the side chair.

If you're lucky enough to have a view—like this one at the Point Grace resort in Turks & Caicos—go soft on the pattern, with motifs in muted hues for a subtle style, as Young Huh did here.

Staircase cutting off your wall space? Don't fret: Hang right up to the last inch for a gallery wall that will draw the eye up, like this one by Barry and Amanda Lantz. Layering the frames over the molding on the wall creates beautiful dimension in the space.

Not a fan of bold color? That's ok: Take a cue from Sherrell Neal and stick to a tight color palette. The key? Tons of textural variety, like nubby linen, sleek porcelain, and iridescent inlay still leave the space interesting.

On the other hand, if you're open to bold hues, take a cue from Rayman Boozer—a.k.a. the Color Guru—and opt for a bold scheme, like this pink room inspired by cherry blossoms.

There's a reason designers love antique carpets: They add an instant patina, like in this study by Corey Damen Jenkins. The best part? There are tons of affordable options on sites like Etsy, eBay, and even Craigslist.

In the bedroom of Cupcakes & Cashmere founder Emily Schuman's home, designer Katie Hodges mixed plush, oversized elements (like the cozy chair) with petite stools and a sculptural lamp and bed frame for an enticing effect.

No matter how great the decor, no room is complete without a personal connection. Take a cue from Rasheeda Gray, who incorporated family photos in black frames to create a gallery wall that makes a design statement while showcasing happy memories.

Instead of leaving awkward corners overlooked, turn them into cozy spaces of their own, as Jae Joo did with this inviting reading nook. There will be no better place to curl up on a rainy day than in a nook like this.

There's no limit to what a coat of paint can do. For proof, look to this bedroom by Kevin Isbell, where fresh paint makes simple, rustic walls look chicly textural.

In a home for a recent widow, Kesha Franklin of Halden Interiors put artwork that the couple had collected around the world on display for a meaningful visual effect.
