The current Australian style that designs the most beautiful beds
Australian interior design is internationally renowned. In fact, it is the origin of many trends that are then imposed in Europe. In addition, they have many of their own interior design, furniture and home textiles brands, which operate almost exclusively on the continent.
One of the Australian minimalist trends that is triumphing and that we can see in many Instagram influencers' accounts is the use of layers of textiles and combination of prints in pastel shades to decorate beds. Have you noticed?
But let's start by unpacking the keys to the fascinating Australian style of decorating.
What is the Australian decorative style like?
The interior design that arrives with force from Oceania has these characteristics:
- It mixes midcentury modern design, contemporary minimalist and coastal-themed décor.
- Vintage touches add curves, tapered legs and slats to the furniture.
- In terms of tones, white and pastel shades predominate. This adds a lot of light to the interiors.
- The walls of the houses are usually white and there is a lot of wood panelling and textured surfaces.
- A strong presence of tropical and vintage decoration and references to the sea and surfing.
- In the fittings, gold or copper finishes predominate, together with matt white.
- There are hardly any boundaries between the inside and outside of homes.
- The decoration is full of wooden furniture and natural materials.
- Cosy materials are also combined with surfaces imitating stone in white or neutral tones.

How to decorate the bed following the trends coming from Australia?
Firstly, it's all about layering, so in addition to fitted and fitted sheets, you'll want to use a quilt or duvet cover, then top with plaids or bedspreads and arrange them informally at the foot of the bed.
Leave the bed partially open so that all layers of textile can be seen.
As for the use of colours, use a neutral base and add sweet and warm colours. Lately, the most popular colours are earthy (browns, oranges, ochres, earth tones...) together with powdered pink.
Mix prints without fear. This is a key feature that is harder to master, but if you dare, your bed will look spectacular!
Using a three-colour palette, don't be afraid to mix stripes with flowers or other graphic motifs with pillow and cushion covers.
Try to have a few plain and a couple of patterned designs. As long as you stick to a harmonious colour palette, it will look great!
Designs that can help you create an Australian style bedroom.
A perfect collection to get you started this season in decorating your bedroom in this style is Bloombastic, as it has many designs based on a triad of warm colours that also combines various graphic motifs.
The Spring Blossom or Summer Floral designs use three colours, with a pink base, and mix stripes and flowers in their cushions.
Also White Peonies or Azahara have easy-to-match sand-coloured check and stripe cushions with a bed linen neutral, earth tones or pastel colours. Throw in some textiles with plant or small flower prints and you've got the perfect outfit, with a distinctly Australian touch!
Also our bed linen with vichy squares in grey or beige may work for you.
To replicate this trend well, we remind you to start by selecting home textiles with a neutral or pastel base, and then introduce blankets and cushion and pillow covers that have a presence of that base tone and a couple more that are warm (orange, brown, yellow...) or, if you prefer, in blue, green or violet.
As for the reasons, those that have a place are the floral or vegetal, the stripes wide, sailor-style or the tables. If you stick to it, success is assured.
