Ideas on how to mix and match bedroom furniture
Start with a theme
You don’t need to be an interior designer to lay out a moodboard. Don’t wait until after the furniture has arrived to realize everything is a different style. Start with a theme to create a common thread through your design that ties seemingly unrelated pieces together. Whether your jumping off point is Mid-Century Modern, geometric, or boho, a style and color palette really set the scene. If want to fall asleep and wake up to natural materials and calming tones, ground your bedroom design in mid-century pieces. The Carmen Table Lamp is a nightstand must-have and the Twin Peaks Rug adds subtle style to your bedroom décor. If you’re leaning geometric, look for furniture and décor with clean, strong lines. The Block Party Rug and the Serif Credenza perfectly tie your primary bedroom’s geometric look together. Match your boho style with an Appliqué Adobe Salt Pillow and a Signal Side Table. Accent with a rattan chair and some mismatched throw pillows to finish off the space.

Match hues, tones, and color families
Pick a color palette ahead of time to keep pieces from feeling out of place together. If your palette leans towards dark wood tones and cool-colored accents, start with our Walnut Index Wall Shelves, Nomad Armchair with Chaise, and the Apex Throw by Johanna Howard. Sticking with one color scheme makes your room look deliberate instead of slapdash. Always go back to your moodboard when planning bedroom ideas to make sure your room design ideas make sense ahead of time, so you can pick matching styles that will mesh well.

Keep texture in mind
Creating a through line in style and color allows you to mix and match different textures, like pairing an industrial Arlo Tree Lamp and a soft duvet cover or art deco Empire Rug. Mixed textures can create a dynamic space that's interesting to the eye and to the touch. Contrast the plush look and feet of an upholstered headboard with more severe matching side tables. As you pick different furniture pieces, keep in mind the decorating ideas you could use to soften sharp edges or add interesting touches to the rest of the room.
On the other hand, you can mix different colors by matching textures more closely. Put together a room set that feels fresh and natural by mixing colorful art and textiles with a sleek, minimalist bed frame, dresser, and shelf set.

Style comes in all shapes and sizes
When it comes to home design, size definitely matters. Mixing and matching large and small elements and curved or straight lines creates a dynamic look. Repeat these elements in multiple places and with color themes for balance throughout the room. Your furniture doesn't have to feel matchy-matchy to become one cohesive space. For example, picking round nightstands and repeating the curved motif with a round rug and curved patterns on the dresser makes a space feel whole. When it comes to size, picking a mixture of small and large pieces draws the eye to different places in the room, making it feel lively.

Anchor the room with neutral pieces
The first step in your makeover should involve the bigger, neutral pieces. Items made with natural materials, like the Carta Side Tables make great matching nightstands without dominating the room or taking away from your eye-catching upholstered bed. Support intricately carved wooden furniture with an understated Oat Blanket Set that adds texture to nearly any room design. Finally, add personality without taking up floor space with our White Index Wall Shelves. Keep your favorite pieces on display, not in the way.

Mix and match bedroom furniture pieces within the bigger picture
Don’t forget to factor your space as it exists now into the moodboard. Too much color and too many pieces can make your room look crowded instead of cohesive. Work within the space you have to avoid overwhelming the room. It might be tempting to pick the opposite of a furniture store showroom in every case, but if you want your bedroom to look like you made it that way on purpose, choose your pieces with intention. It is a bedroom after all, you want a room that you can rest in. Bright colors and objects certainly warm up the space, but if it’s so cluttered you can't sleep, you may have overdone it.
These mix and match bedroom furniture ideas are primed to help you bring the dream room you’re picturing to life. Start with the furniture styles that speak to you and don’t feel confined to classically matching pieces. Lay out a mood board with everything you’ve ever seen and liked and whittle it down until you’ve created the perfect space.
