Bedroom ideas cream and more…

1. Add voiles

Not sure what window coverings to opt for in your cream bedroom? Voiles are a lovely option if you want to create an element of luxury and drama. They still let the light through but also offer a level of privacy.

If you’re looking to conserve heat then they perhaps aren’t the best design to go for. But, you can always layer them with a heavier fabric curtain on top.

2. Display dried flowers

Dried flowers are ideal for a neutral space. If you want your bedroom to maintain a cream colour palette, dried flowers are a nice addition because they add texture and visual interest.

Pampas grass and bunny tails are popular varieties and can be displayed in either a large vase or a selection of smaller bud vases.

3. Add a plant or two

Incorporating plants into a room is a great way of adding colour without it feeling too forced.

If you’re a keen indoor gardener, invest in larger houseplants to make a real statement.

4. Contrast with black and cream bedroom ideas

Cream and black is a trendy colour combination and can make a real impact. Juxtapose a cream bedroom with a statement black mirror and black soft furnishings.

If you’re feeling brave, paint a black feature wall to bring depth and drama to your bedroom.

If black is too stark, try and incorporate cream brown bedroom ideas into your design. By using dark browns alongside cream you can still achieve a beautiful contrast in a more subtle way.

5. Colour drench with all cream bedroom ideas

Colour drenching is a popular phrase in the world of interiors right now and it simply means using one colour to decorate an entire space. There’s nothing wrong in sticking to one colour, the trick is to add texture and depth.

The best way to add texture is by using accessories like layers of throws and cushions, as well as a rug to warm up your floor.

If you’re looking for cream furniture ideas then we suggest choosing cream coloured furniture to adhere to the colour drenching trend.

6. Lean into boho with cream and pink bedroom ideas

Warm neutrals can easily be the foundation of a boho-inspired scheme. Bring in some obvious boho touches such as a dream catcher or some macrame wall hangings.

Alternatively, be a little more subtle by incorporating cream and pink tufted cushions. A berber rug is a boho staple!

7. Try wall panelling

Elevate your cream bedroom by installing wall panelling. You can either get a local carpenter in to do this or have a go yourself.

The elegant wall panelling pictured above is a traditional design that will never go out of fashion.

8. Cream and gold bedroom ideas

Warm up a cream bedroom with pops of metallics. Gold or brass works really well as it pulls out the natural warm tones in the colour cream.

A circular gold framed mirror and a gold vase are the perfect accessories to decorate a dressing table or chest of drawers with. Cream gold bedroom ideas are a match made in heaven.

9. French-inspired

Take inspiration from French interiors and bring a sense of sophistication to your cream bedroom design.

French bedrooms are known for their luxurious and intricate details. A chandelier is a great option and ornate furniture is a must.

10. A luxurious hotel feel

There’s no reason why your bedroom can’t mimic the design of your favourite hotel. Make your bedroom feel like a luxury hotel room by keeping it minimal but luxurious.

Fabric panelled walls are a sumptuous feature. Add elegant wall lights to each side of the bed.

11. Keep things minimal

Adopt a Scandinavian approach and keep things minimal in your cream bedroom.

Opt for items that are simple in design but still make a stylish statement. Neutral toned artwork and accessories made from natural materials are a good way to go.

12. Log cabin effect: light brown and cream bedroom decorating ideas

13. Add texture to your walls

Texture, texture, texture! It’s very important, especially for neutral coloured spaces. Adding texture to the walls of your bedroom can bring an element of interest and cosiness that you can’t recreate elsewhere.

Take inspiration from the bedroom scheme above and apply brick slips to the wall. If you don’t want to make that much of an investment, you can always opt for a limewash paint effect instead.

14. Pair with wood and rattan

The undertones of cream are warm, which means it pairs nicely with warmer toned materials. Opt for a natural wood or rattan to complement your cream bedroom.

Wooden bedside tables are timeless and a rattan mirror or headboard is a lovely addition.

15. Restore original flooring

Because cream pairs so well with wood, consider restoring your original floorboards. There’s nothing better than ripping up an old carpet and finding a hidden treasure underneath.

If you do have original floorboards, take great care in sanding them down and staining them to your ideal finish.

16. Introduce wallpaper

Pattern is another way of elevating a cream bedroom. You can do this through many different ways including your choice of bedding, soft furnishings, accessories and wallpaper.

If you’re feeling brave, give hanging your own wallpaper a go. You can read our tutorial, here.

Build upon a cream bedroom with elements inspired by your travels. A global interiors scheme is made up of natural materials and sculptural elements that evoke images of exotic locations.

Rattan, jute, linen and terracotta are some materials that are popular with this kind of design. Keep your walls and bed linen cream and then bring in other components.
