17 Quirky Bedroom Ideas to Create a One-of-a-Kind Space
The best quirky bedroom ideas for you.
Is your bedroom in need of a refresh? Are you looking for creative ways to create a space that is uniquely you? Well, look no further! We've curated a list of 17 quirky bedroom ideas to help inspire you to design a social media–worthy look that expresses your personality. No matter the type of bedroom you have, you are sure to find something you love here.
1. Try Pink & Gray Glam
Pink and gray make for an unexpected color combination that creates a surprisingly glam aesthetic. Opt for accents in both tones in equal measure by way of blankets and pillows. Be sure to add fun touches like a textured pink upholstered headboard, a sparkly chandelier, and matching metallic table lamps.
Create a feature wall by displaying a large graphic print wallpaper in a striking hue – like this bold pink dahlia print. The large and small flowers create a dynamic effect, so you can keep the rest of your bedding and room decor to a more muted gray and an array of pink hues (or not if you want to be really quirky!). Use a chunky baby pink throw and a fun salmon pillow for additional texture, and finally finish it off with unusual hanging lights – we have a whole range of unique and statement lighting options for you to choose from.

3. Go for an Eclectic Style
Bring the outdoors inside with a bohemian-inspired room. Start with rouge grasscloth wallpaper and bring in more woven-type elements such as a woven pendant light and eclectic grass wall hangings, and stick to those natural browns with a latticed wood headboard and some terracotta planters. Here a stack of wood has been used as an unusual home decor piece – if you choose to follow a similar idea, just ensure the wood is treated to avoid any unwanted critters in your room!
If you are looking for standout quirky bedroom ideas, maximalism is the way to go. Don't be afraid to mix a range of patterns for the biggest effect. Start with a green squiggly patterned comforter paired with a striped rainbow-inspired headboard, and a floral throw pillow for a juxtaposition of designs. For the kicker, choose a busy botanical wallpaper featuring matching hues (green in this case) for that ultra-busy effect. Use easy to remove peel-and-stick wallpaper if you feel like you'll change your mind on the pattern at a later stage.

5. Give It a Tropical Feel
Create your very own tropical resort right in your bedroom. A raw wood canopy bed draped with white lightweight fabric will immediately give an island style look. Add a set of whimsical flamingo decals to make it feel as though you are in an outdoor daybed surrounded by exotic wildlife. Stick to all-white bedding with magenta accent pillows and a throw for a flamboyant touch.
Start with a striking anchoring hue like this fuschia and paint from the floor to the ceiling to create a bold look. Select gilded features for a regal aesthetic that is worthy of any interior design magazine. Choose a gold four poster bed, side table, and pendant light to make it feel like those accent touches have been dipped in gold. You can even hit those smaller touches like picture and mirror frames, as well as drawer hardware for some extra sparkles here and there.
Your quirky bedroom ideas can be simple in execution but still make a big impact. Select one statement piece – like this dusty rose upholstered bedroom set with matching side tables. The tufted velvety texture and puffy aesthetic adds a cushy look while the gold hardware and framed abstract wall art in orange and yellow hues help give the space a well-balanced mid-century modern air.
A deep vermilion color will give a warm and moody air that speaks of mysterious places. It's easy to match those warm brown undertones with a variety of materials too, adding to that understatedly elegant feel. A leather bench, wooden dresser, woven baskets and mirror, and natural hardwood floors combined with heavily fronded live plants all give the impression of a cozy bungalow nestled up high in the jungle canopies.
Little ones get to enjoy the quirky fun too! Go all out with a pink and animal-themed style so your child can kick off each morning in a miniature wonderland. This cotton candy winged bed is a lovely addition that pairs well with a simple white nightstand made playful with a cute pink drawer knob. Pick three-dimensional wall art like wall plaques or even mount a few fun toys for adorable one-of-a-kind hangings. Finally, make sure to choose a kids rug to anchor everything together.
Bedtime will never be a hassle again with this nautical-themed bedroom set. Stick to the classic blue and white color scheme and bring in a few sailing icons with a ship wheel and the customary shiplap wall for a stunning and cohesive space.
As far as quirky bedroom ideas go, a comic book is definitely at the top of the list. By selecting an abstract black and white lined wallpaper, it almost seems as though everything has been hand-drawn into this room. Particularly when matched with the asymmetrical mirror, curved wood headboard, and abstract wall art. Even the gold frame side tables have a penciled-in feel that plays up the animated effect of it all.
For a truly personalized bedroom, pick your favorite color (pink in this instance) and run with it. Include all the things you love but try to keep all your home decor, vases, pillows, blankets, and anything else you can think of, to that same color. Be sure to vary the tones to create some depth and add a wallpaper with your dominant tone for some effortless visual impact. You can even find lampshades and side tables in a range of hues if you look hard enough!
If you have a flair for the dramatic, why not give your bedroom a moody makeover with a grayscale theme? Begin with a chic round black tufted upholstered bed as the showstopper – it's hard to go wrong with such an impressive piece. From there, pick black and gray (or silver) accents by way of nightstands, wall paint, and even a dark planter with a ghostly-looking plant that will all work together and contribute to that ethereal feeling.
Can't decide what hue you like the most? Play with them all! This bubblegum pink wall is a good background for the bright multi-colored artwork which acts as an inspirational piece to pull different tones from. The stunning gold and teal pillow and lemon yellow throw work well against the raw wood headboard, while the varied bedding patterns make for a clever juxtaposition.
Do you love the desert and warm dry weather? Why not try to mimic that arid landscape in your bedroom? Opt for taupe, tan, and faun, or any other shades of brown you can think of for a minimalist color palette. Bring in textural appeal through natural fiber pieces and cozy textiles like a wooden bench, bedside lamp, nightstand, as well as wool throw pillows and a woven rattan planter. Include a spiky-leafed plant for a nod to the wilderness you are emulating.
Go all out and select an entirely upholstered bedroom set. Not just the bed and headboard, but the dresser, nightstands, and bureau too! The tufted design and plush padding will work together to keep the fabric from looking too flat and give a rich and soothing effect. The best part is that you don't have to look for matching pieces thanks to the impressive set size!
One of the quickest ways to make any interior design scheme look harmonious is by utilizing complementary colors. When combined the matching hues transform any space with ease. This aqua blue upholstered bed and pumpkin linen, rug, and paint combination gives the feeling of an eternal sunset, especially with all the natural light streaming in.
Hopefully these quirky bedroom ideas have inspired you to create a timeless sleep space of your own. Now it's time to get shopping and transform your space.
