How to get the look, step by step
- 1Photograph your bedroom in daylight with the widest view you can frame — the RivAI app needs the whole space to work with.
- 2Set the base: Crisp White (#F4F4F2) for walls and ceilings.
- 3Use matching nightstands about 40-60 cm wide so the bed wall reads as balanced.
- 4Bring in walnut and oak wood veneers and polished concrete floors — the two signature materials of Modern design.
- 5Add one statement piece: low platform sofa with clean arms.
- 6Finish with graphite (#3C3F41) accents in textiles or decor, keeping them under 10% of the visual field.
Key materials
- Walnut and oak wood veneers
- Polished concrete floors
- Brushed steel and chrome
- Large-format glass panels
- Leather upholstery
Furniture to look for
- Low platform sofa with clean arms
- Molded plywood or leather lounge chair
- Rectangular coffee table in wood or glass
- Flat-panel media console
- Arc or tripod floor lamp
Mistakes to avoid
- Pushing the bed into a corner to save space, which makes it hard to make and unbalanced to look at.
- Relying on a single overhead light with no bedside lighting for reading or winding down.
- Choosing a rug that stops at the bed edges, so it looks like a bathmat instead of an anchor.
Budget tips
- Swap the bedding set first - new duvet cover and pillows change the entire room for the cost of one dinner out.
- Paint only the wall behind the bed as an accent; one wall uses about a quarter of the paint of the full room.
- Buy second-hand solid wood dressers and refinish them instead of buying flat-pack new.
