Modern Rustic Bedrooms: Two Inspiring Showroom Setups with Wood and Warm Lighting

12.05.2025

If you're drawn to cozy bedrooms with a mix of modern simplicity and rustic charm, these two showroom setups from Europe might be exactly the inspiration you need. Captured by Mauritz during one of his many design-focused travels, both spaces showcase natural wood finishes, clever lighting, and stylish decor that strike a perfect balance between comfort and design.

Showroom 1: Earthy Elegance with a Festive Touch

The first bedroom features a bed frame and wardrobe in a combination of warm-toned wood and matte black accents, instantly creating a grounded and cozy look. The soft gray curtains paired with a concrete-style wall give the space a modern edge, while the red holiday-themed bedding adds a splash of cheerful color — proof that seasonal decor can be both fun and stylish.

Ambient lighting plays a big role here: pendant lamps over the nightstands and subtle strip lighting in the wardrobe elevate the mood. The neutral armchair and round coffee table also hint at a multi-functional space — not just for sleeping, but for relaxing or even reading by the window.

Showroom 2: Natural Tones and Forest Wallpaper

In the second setup, the bed and wardrobe also feature beautiful wood finishes, but the overall vibe leans more natural and earthy. A tree-patterned wallpaper acts as a striking accent wall, creating depth and visual interest. Floating shelves filled with books and vases give the room a lived-in, personal feel.

One standout feature is the large classic wall clock that anchors the room and adds a hint of vintage style.

Matching nightstands and soft lighting complete the inviting atmosphere — it's the kind of bedroom you want to unwind in after a long day.

Both rooms, documented by Mauritz in real showroom environments, show how wood textures, soft lighting, and thoughtful accessories can transform a bedroom into a serene retreat. Whether you're looking to refresh your current setup or planning a full remodel, these examples are rich in ideas — from layout to lighting.

IKEA's new RÅDMANSÖ series offers a warm walnut wood look with sleek, modern details that stand out in any bedroom. The series combines a retro-inspired design with practical storage solutions, all elevated by slim black legs with subtle brass-colored tips.

KALLAX is a fan favorite when it comes to dividing space, but it's not always the easiest to move around. If you live in a small apartment, like to change up your layout often, or just want something lighter, IKEA has several room divider options that are stylish, portable, and easy to fold or roll away.

The IKEA STOCKHOLM collection is one of IKEA's most exclusive and beloved ranges, known for its focus on craftsmanship, natural materials and timeless design. Unlike many other IKEA series, STOCKHOLM is created with the idea of long-lasting furniture pieces that bring a sense of luxury while still being accessible to a wide audience.

The STOREMOLLA series is one of IKEA's newest storage solutions, combining the timeless appeal of solid pine with a clean, rounded design. Available in two sizes and two elegant stain finishes, these chests of drawers bring both practicality and style to the home. Filmed by Mauritz at the IKEA Berlin Waltersdorf and Spandau store.

Finding smart storage solutions is often a challenge, especially in smaller homes or apartments where every square meter counts. One of the most overlooked spaces is under the staircase, a tricky corner that can either collect dust or be transformed into a highly functional storage area.
