Less is more when it comes to these minimalist bedroom ideas, which look modern, cool and inviting all at the same time. If you're looking to transform your room into a pared-back and relaxing sanctuary, get some inspiration with our round-up of minimalist bedrooms from high street favourites including Wilko and Laura Ashley…

1. Grey Matters

Try a muted colour scheme of tonal shades and grey and white for a modern and minimalistic bedroom. Mixing patterns and textures will ensure this pared-back look still has maximum impact.

2. Rethink lighting

Avoid clutter from accessories like bedside lights by hanging a bulb from the wall or ceiling instead. Not only will it save space, it will also create a cool, Scandi vibe too.

3. Stick to one shade

Keep your colour palette primarily to one colour for a stripped back and fuss-free bedroom. The odd accent piece such as this red chair adds an unexpected touch to an otherwise muted colour scheme.

4. Have fun with colour

Minimalism doesn't always have to mean muted colours. Add a colour pop with geometric shaped wall décor or quirky accent furniture for a striking yet simple aesthetic.

5. Keep your bed fuss-free

Throw cushions and blankets don't generally go hand-in-hand with a minimal bedroom. Instead, opt for bedding that's plain or in a classic striped print. You'll get bonus points for a cool exposed brick wall like this uncluttered bedroom.

6. Overhaul your storage

What better way to inspire a wardrobe declutter than by having all of your clothes on display? Swapping traditional wardrobes for an open shelving unit will inspire you to have a Marie Kondo-style clear out and truly question if those old clothes still spark joy.

8. White Out

You can't go wrong with white for a minimal look. From all-white bedding to painted white wooden flooring, adding grey accents and house plants will ensure it looks anything but boring.
