25 Eclectic Bedroom Ideas for a Space That Feels Uniquely You

Eclectic bedrooms create great style by combining decor and furniture that's old, new, bold, subtle, and most of all, fun. Eclectic style embraces patterns, quirky vintage decor, and lots of color. But designing an eclectic bedroom from scratch can feel pretty overwhelming—that's why we've rounded up a few of our favorite eclectic bedrooms.

Keep reading to find one that will be the perfect jumping-off point for you and your home.

Combine Dark and Light Decor

Great style can be found when dark and light decor are mixed together, like dark and moody colors alongside florals and quilted bedspreads. Together, they create a perfectly eclectic (and stylish) look.

Mix Patterns

Pattern mixing is one of the best ways to get that eclectic bedroom look you've been wanting. Pair a subtly patterned wallpaper alongside a patterned rug and bedspread for a bedroom you'll never want to leave.

Use Oversized Patterns

Oversized patterns, like the enlarged floral wallpaper Alvin Wayne Interiors uses in the bedroom above, provide lots of visual interest and a bold look.

Make It Monochrome

Monochrome doesn't need to be boring. Instead, search for bedroom decor that's unique and interesting, while still all in the same color. We love how Mary Patton Design did this in the bedroom above with the fun planter, patterned bedspread, and sage green walls.

Make It Vintage

For an eclectic bedroom that's straight out of the 19th century (in the best way), look for vintage furniture and textiles to add to your space.

Add A Lofted Bed

Don't let lofted beds be just for kids. Instead, look for a queen-sized lofted or trundle bed to free up some space for guests, a seating area, or even a small home office.

Pick A Color Scheme

To ensure your eclectic bedroom doesn't veer too heavily into the realm of chaos, pick a color scheme or family and ensure all your decor and furniture works with it, like Mary Patton Design did in the bedroom above with purple and orange.

Frame Your Bed With Upholstery

Consider framing the area around your bed with some upholstered panels for a bedroom look that's cozy, one-of-a-kind, and full of fantastic patterns.

Add Color and Texture to Other Parts of the Bedroom

Eclectic style can be added to the bedroom through more than just the bed and bedspread—instead, look to add stunning color and texture to other parts of the bedroom, like the wardrobe or a seating nook.

Use Unique Spaces

A uniquely shaped bedroom is ripe for an eclectic makeover, as its unusual and interesting look already gets it halfway to eclectic style! Add some tapestries and a stunning light fixture to complete the look.

Match Pattern Colors

When adding pattern-rich wallpaper to your eclectic bedroom, be sure to incorporate colors from the wallpaper elsewhere in the bedroom so that the wallpaper works with the space, not against it.

Look for Playful Decor

Even something as simple as a playful light fixture can add the perfect touch of eclectic style to your bedroom. Be on the lookout for the finishing touches that will make your space shine.

Hang a Gallery Wall

Gallery walls aren't just for hallways and living rooms—they're a wonderful addition to bedrooms too! Add one above your bed or directly across from it to create a visual centerpiece for your bedroom.

Use a White or Cream Backdrop

A palette of white and cream provides the ideal backdrop for splashes of fun pattern and color, like the decor Studio Peake added into the eclectic bedroom above.

Try Yellow

Looking for a bright and bold color to use in your bedroom? Try yellow. This inviting and unique color adds some sunshine style to whatever space it's in.

Bring in Vintage Patterns

Vintage patterns are a great way to add some subtle eclectic style to your bedroom. Look for these types of patterns on vintage linens at thrift or antique stores, or try an online vintage retailer.

Don't Forget Velvet

Lush and full of color, velvet is the ideal addition to the eclectic bedroom. Look for velvet accented with gold or bronze to really lean into that lush-but-fun look.

Use Pastels

Pastels bring plenty of colorful, grown-up style to the bedroom. We like how House Nine Design played with different pastels in the bedroom above, pairing a soft pink with a muted teal.

Mix Textiles on the Bed

Use different types of linens on your bed to give it that eclectic, perfectly undone look. Try pairing a linen quilt with cotton sheets and a microfiber blanket, or use a suede throw alongside some rustic throw pillows.

Add Teal and Orange

Teal and orange add bright color like few other color combos do, and we love how Dazey Den went all in on them in this bedroom.

To get the look in your own space, look for teal bedspreads or window coverings and pair them with orange-colored decor, like lights or wall art.

Use Vintage Prints

Another easy way to add an eclectic touch to the bedroom is through vintage prints. They add a touch of whimsy, along with plenty of character. Vintage prints can often be found at used bookstores, or online at Etsy or eBay.

Bring in Some '70s Style

Let the '70s inspire your eclectic bedroom with its colorful prints, relaxed style, and its unique decor. To bring the '70s into your bedroom decor, look for lots of rattan, bold prints, and warm colors.

Repeat Patterns in Real Life

We love how the repeating pattern of the floral wallpaper in the bedroom above from Ashley Montgomery Design is mirrored in the vase of flowers on the nightstand.

A similar look can be achieved with foliage-focused textiles and houseplants, or book-filled patterns and bookshelves.

Add Stained Glass

Stained glass brings loads of character into any space, and adding to your bedroom may be easier than you think. Just look for stained glass window coverings that can be pressed onto the glass of your window.

Use Interesting Plants

Don't be afraid to bring in lots of funky plants to take your bedroom's uniqueness up a notch. Try pairing a tree (faux or real) with interesting foliage alongside a pot of picture-perfect ranunculus or tulips for a great look.
