Have the time to redecorate your bedroom? Check out these design inspirations!
Condo living is now considered a practical way of life especially for young professionals and millennials. Most condominiums are located in central business districts like Ortigas and Makati, thus making it easy for residents to commute to their offices without getting caught in traffic. In addition to these, there are also the perks of added amenities and security.
With these advantages of living in a condo unit, probably the only hard part in living in one is designing it. Whether it’s a small studio room or a one-bedroom unit, decorating the condo gives it life, so it’s something that definitely shouldn’t be skipped.

For the millennial who always follows the trend, make this bedroom from @mydomaine an inspiration! Tassels are all the rage right now, so why not extend it in the bedroom? It can be added in the pillows or in the duvet covers for an added flair in a pure white linen bed. A minimalist style, which is also in trend, can also be applied by opting for an all-white wall and then simply adding fun accents like the two red bold ottomans at the end of the bed.

2. Feminine Millennial
Floral doesn’t mean old in this charming, rustic bedroom.

The word ‘floral’ is often associated with vintage designs that are dated and old, but it also means feminine, dainty, and charming, like this bedroom from @houseofboysandbeauty. Instead of going all out on the flowers, the room can be given a rustic feel by using a bed with a beautiful woven-wood headboard and a wooden bedside table. Floral pillowcases can then be used to soften the overall look. The general effect will make a millennial feel like he or she’s living in a (chic) farm.

For chic millennials, this room from @thetayloredinterior is as stylish as it gets. It’s simple yet every bit elegant with the use of a gray and pink color scheme in the linens. The blush pink comforter against the dark duvet creates a beautiful contrast, and it also prevents the room from looking too sweet with the use of too much pink. To give the room a contemporary vibe, add a metallic lampshade like the one pictured above.

The use of geometric lines in the cover and in the lamps, the varied textures of the pillows, and the minimalist feel all give it a contemporary vibe.

It features bold colors such as the dark hue of teal on the wall while staying in the minimalistic side by not cluttering the wall with numerous ornaments.
