A modern bedroom may sound cold and sterile, but the results are often incredibly inviting. With the right elements—including vibrant colors, soft textures, and warm wood furnishings—modern design can feel right at home in a primary suite or guest room. These tranquil retreats take advantage of natural light for a bright and airy feel and pare down furnishings to the essentials to create an uncluttered spot for relaxation. We’ve gathered bedrooms in homes from New York to Hong Kong that use streamlined pieces and minimalist layouts to beautiful effect. Below, find modern bedroom ideas from spaces by designers such as Shawn Henderson, Waldo Fernandez, and Amy Lau. There’s no doubt they’ll inspire you to put a contemporary twist on your own bedroom.

Inside Amber Valletta’s Peaceful L.A. SanctuaryToday, AD is welcomed by Amber Valletta to tour her peaceful and sustainable home in Los Angeles. Alongside an illustrious modeling career, the supermodel is also a keen climate change activist, so when it came to designing her home, sustainability was key. Valletta enlisted friend and interior designer Ross Cassidy to help design a stylish yet eco-friendly space. Paint on the walls is replaced by natural clay plaster, and the exterior is clad in light stone that will last for years. Inside, Valletta upholstered the furniture she already owned with sustainable materials and went vintage or artisanal to fill in decor gaps. Full of natural, earthy tones and organic textures, Valletta created the peaceful and sustainable sanctuary she was looking for—"a place where, when you come in from the world, you can exhale.”
