Plaid Bedroom Decor & Design

Depending on who you are, plaid can be a bit of a hot topic- you either love it or you absolutely hate it. Personally, I love using plaid bedroom decor… as long as it’s done the right way! Plaid is very traditional, cozy, and a little rustic of a pattern, but you can easily transition this classic design to be more modern to better fit your aesthetic!

I’ve used plaid in many rooms over the years like my son’s forest bedroom, a simple plaid throw in our modern primary bedroom in our previous home and now in my son’s new upcoming bedroom.

I’m a firm believer that anyone who is anti-plaid will change their mind if they see a plaid room done right. I’ve created three plaid bedroom design boards, all very different visually and aesthetically, but all with a tasteful amount of plaid flair!

Black and white plaid patterns are definitely on the more modern side of the plaid spectrum, and can easily be mixed and matched to create the perfect balance in your room. With the ‘Black Plaid Bedroom’, I wanted the bed to be the focal point of the room with contrasting light and dark pieces to fill the rest of the space! (and you can’t forget about your four-legged family members!)


Antique Plaid Bedroom Decor

I’m sure when you think of a plaid bedroom, you think of something similar to the ‘Antique Plaid Bedroom’. While on the more traditional side, with the help of modern gold fixtures and a chic leather swivel chair, this traditional space turns into the plaid bedroom of your dreams!


Vintage Modern Plaid Bedroom Decor

Bed Frame | Airplane Wall Art | Plaid Wall Art | Dandy Fox Wall Art | Curtains | Table Lamps | Similar Nightstand | Linen Duvet Cover | Throw Pillows | Handwoven Rug | Floor Lamp | Similar Chair | Cabinet

As you all know, I’m a big fan of mixing new and “old” pieces to create a room with a dynamic style. This is why I love the look of the ‘Vintage Modern Plaid Bedroom’ because it looks and feels traditional but is very modern and sleek at the same time. I think this room is perfect for an older teen or collage-aged boy!

My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, i My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, inviting and extra cozy. It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space.

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
