We've tried everything in our eternal quest for decent shut-eye, from adopting nighttime routines to adjusting the level of bedroom darkness—but before you settle down for the night, there's one thing you may still want to do: decorate. The design of your bedroom can help you feel more relaxed and calm when it's time to lay down.

Considering how much time we spend in our slumber sanctuaries each day, we think they deserve plenty of attention. But having designer digs shouldn't cost you too much: With designer IKEA bedroom ideas, you'll encourage the sandman to bring you a dream in your stylish space without breaking the budget.

Below, browse 14 IKEA bedrooms to take inspiration from the pros.

Plenty of warm wood accents paired with white décor and modern touches give this space a dreamy Swedish style.

Keep It Kid-Friendly

Need some inspiration for your child's bedroom? If it's tough getting yourself to sleep, helping your kids wind down can bring its own challenges—but this bedroom is bringing us a dream. Designer Molly Guy turned her daughter's room into a relaxing sanctuary with the IKEA Kura Reversible Bed. Underneath its custom floral patterns, beaded pillows, and velvet décor, this bed frame adds a warm touch to the room with natural wood textures.

Style a Serene Space

Even when your body is ready to wind down, your mind can still be racing with tomorrow's to-do list. Our remedy? Read a book. It's a great way to invite the sandman to your space, and this trusty IKEA Kallax shelving unit styled by The Everygirl makes an excellent nightstand. Store your books, favorite accessories, reading glasses, and a nighttime reading lamp all in the same place for an organized style that's also functional.

Maximize Textures

We could stay in this bedroom forever. With maximalist textures, Caffeine and Cacti styled this IKEA dresser alongside leafy wallpaper, plush bedding, and plenty of trailing plants that bring vibrance to the room. The Koppang dresser, upgraded with woven faces on the drawers, is a unique touch that showcases the stylist's IKEA hack DIY skills. Soft colors like gray and white are blended throughout the room with deep blues, shades of green, and a few hints of pink to contrast the cooler hues.

When you're working with lots of different textures and patterns, keep your color palette simple for a streamlined design that creates a dynamic finish.

Try a Crisp, Clean Look

A simple space free of clutter andexcess furnitureis conducive to rest (and ultimately, sleep). If your bedroom is feeling too busy or the design is overwhelmed by daily items strewn about the room, invest in a bed frame with storage. The IKEA Mandal bed base pictured here may not be available anymore, but in the same family, the Nordli frame can bring a crisp white feel to your space. This stylish storage helps to keep clothes, shoes, and extra bedding hidden from view.

Contrast Colors

Colorblocking works to the max in this bedroom designed by Amy Brighton. Rosey, clay-colored hues are offset by bold white paint along the top half of the walls—but it all comes together with a warm wood IKEA Ivar dresser that complements both shades. This creative style makes room for plenty of wardrobe items while using the top of the dresser as a combination television stand and surface for storage baskets.

If your bedroom has a cutout in the walls, measure the space to fit furniture inside to add more storage while maximizing floor space.

With the IKEA Hovet mirror in an aluminum finish, this dressing area is complete with a makeup desk and vanity mirror that bounces light across the room thanks to the Hovet's large size.
