12 First Apartment Bedroom Decor Ideas We Found on Pinterest

When we moved into our first apartment, our vision for our space was a mix of modern, traditional and cozy. We created mood boards on Pinterest and had a specific style in mind.

It’s so much fun designing your first apartment after college. It’s 100% your own space and your bedroom needs to be a space you love to relax after a busy day of work.

We thought we would share some of the Pinterest inspiration we used for our first apartment bedroom design. We’re’ showing you 12 different design looks, how you can achieve the look, and where you can shop for similar items for your first apartment.

This post is all about apartment bedroom decor ideas.

12 First Apartment Bedroom Decor Ideas 

1. Neutral Modern Bedroom

We feel like the crisp, white design never goes out of style. It’s such a classy way to make a room look bright, airy and peaceful. This look is super simple to achieve too! Layer light colors and different textures of bedding, add a light grey, vintage rug under your bed, and a wood night stand.

2. Modern Minimal Bedroom

Do love the minimal design style? If so, this nightstand look is a great apartment bedroom decor to achieve that look in your space.

Start with a light wood nightstand and layer the top with small white vases and a white desk lamp. Maximize the space with a stunning black rimmed mirror to stand against the wall adjacent to the nightstand.

3. Rustic Modern Bedroom

We are obsessed with this moody, rustic bedroom. This look may be complicated to piece together by the looks of it, but we’ll make it super simple for you.

The darker accent pieces juxtapose the bright, neutral bedding. The mix of different textures (like the woven blanket basket, the knitted blanket and the linen bedding) make the space super cozy and relaxing.

4. Scandinavian Boho Bedroom

If you have a small bedroom, the Scandinavian style bedroom is perfect for bringing more light into your space. Light colors, earth tones, and natural elements are staple to the Scandinavian design, and are things you can easily add to your space as well.

5. Trendy City Apartment

We are obsessed with Ally Provost’s New York apartment! It’s the pink dream we only imagine having in a big, bustling city. This design is a gorgeous mixture of different patterns, textures and colors that look seamlessly beautiful. She maximized her space for function and design, which is genius!

6. Contemporary City Apartment Wall Decor

This contemporary design is so New York City, and we are here for it! We love how the older character of the apartment is complemented with newer modern furniture, decor and art pieces.

7. Romantic Cozy Bedroom 

A romantic, relaxing retreat after a long work day, is something we look forward too every single day. This cozy bedroom is a beautiful blend of old world and modern.

If you have lower ceilings, like this room does, positioning the floating shelf higher on the wall gives the appearance that the walls are taller than they seem.

8. Moody Bedroom Dresser Decor

If you’re wanting to create a moody moment in your bedroom, this is a great idea to recreate! Decorate with a black terracotta vase, simple greenery, decorative beads and a round gold-rimmed mirror.

9. Traditional Bedroom Decor

If we could choose one style that is super cozy, warm and inviting, it would be this traditional bedroom. When you’re designing a space with a traditional design style in mind, it also helps to mix in a few modern elements.

A modern lamp or vase on the night stand adds a beautiful accent and makes the space feel fresh and modern.

10. Dark Romantic Bedroom Dresser Decor

Black accents are one of our favorite design trends of the year. They are a great way to add bold contrast in a room while still keeping the neutral theme in a room. A great way to add a black accent is with a black dresser.

A piece this big makes a stunning statement in the room, so you’ll want to keep the decor on top of the dresser minimal. Add some romantic, vintage art work, some decorative books and small geometric decorative accents.

11. Neutral Modern Nightstand Decor

If you are obsessed with CB2 like we are you’ll probably love this look, and you may be shocked that we found it for less.

This look would not be as stunning without the burled wood accent table. Style the top with some white coffee table books, a candle, a vase of flowers and framed art.

12. Neutral Modern Bedroom

If you’re working with a small bedroom in your first apartment, a neutral, clean-lined design can make the space feel bigger and brighter.

Choose a neutral pallet for your bedding and headboard. Add white nightstands and decorative pieces that contrast the lighter tones. These decorative pieces could be a dark accent pillow, a lamp with a dark base, and a dark, framed art print.
