November and December are two of the most exciting, spontaneous, magical, and action packed months of the year for some people. For others, the back to back planning around Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years feels stressful, anxiety inducing, uncomfortable, and chaotic. No matter which experience feels closer to yours, both share one thing: the need for a calm space to return to at the end of the day.
Whether it’s adrenaline or anxiety powering you through, having a cozy minimalist bedroom helps you unwind and prepare for the day ahead. If you are deep into the search for 2026 bedroom trends, you’ve likely come across new year bedroom ideas that make you want to refresh and revamp your space.
Starting off the new year with products from SoftFrame® Designs is one of the easiest ways to make that happen. With only three weeks left in 2025, our orders take about 1 to 2 weeks to process plus 2 to 5 days for shipping, so you still have time to be ready for New Years Day.
Why Minimalism?
Minimalism is often linked to calm energy because it focuses on clean lines, balance, and intentional spaces. It centers on simplicity, function, and style that feels effortless. The New Year often brings a desire for a clean slate, and a less is more approach supports that feeling. Maximalism can feel overwhelming when January arrives.
Recently, we talked about why minimalist sleep spaces are trending in 2025. The strength of a minimalist bedroom is its timeless quality. Highly stylized choices can timestamp a room, while minimalism creates a sense of neutrality. The need for peace is constant, so minimalism is not fading anytime soon. Minimalism does not stand on its own, either. It often aligns with Scandinavian, Japandi, and Biophilic design principles.
Our ultra soft, carefully crafted bed frames, designed with 360° of soft surfaces, are made to put you at ease and give you a peaceful retreat from daily overstimulation. If you plan to make wellbeing a New Year priority, SoftFrame® can support that goal.
How To Get Started
Begin with a simple bed frame upholstery design, choosing from SoftFrame® bed frames made with premium materials like Dune or Boucle for a clean, modern look.
For clean lines, our Classic Bed Frame in Dune is a minimalist’s dream. This space-saving design features 2.5” thick CertiPUR-US® certified foam paneling. The light beige Dune color naturally conveys calmness, simplicity, and comfort. You can complete the look with our Classic Headboard for a cohesive bedroom retreat.
For a more modern feel, try the Luna Bed Frame in Boucle. Bold and distinctive, this round, all-cushioned, upholstered design uses 3.5” thick CertiPUR-US® certified foam paneling. The soft, curved edges enhance a sense of calm, and the faux white Boucle adds a fresh, clean touch. Pair it with the Luna Upholstered Headboard to finish the look.
The Bestseller
Our Ultra Bed Frame is the most popular choice, perfect for starting the New Year with a quiet sense of luxury. This best-selling bed frame combines elegance and sophistication to create a sense of calm.
Featuring extra-thick, all-cushioned, upholstered 5” thick CertiPUR-US® certified foam paneling, this design will create a grand, serene feeling in your new space. That reverence might help to forget about all of the unnecessary distractions in life. Our snow white fabric evokes fresh marble and exchanges stiffness for comfort. Complete the look with our Ultra Upholstered Headboard.
For the Ultra Bed Frame in particular, our Wedge Bolster Pillow can add a final touch of luxury to your sleep sanctuary. This accent piece highlights a contained form with purpose, dignified and supportive in your space.
Entering 2026 With Intention
Alyssa Anselmo, architect and founder of Studio Anva, was quoted in an article on 2026 bedroom trends, noting an “overcorrection happening” in interior design, where people are “reacting to millennial grey by going too far into dark and moody tones.”
It’s true that grey may have been overdone, but that doesn’t mean it’s cancelled. Grey works best when placed intentionally. For example, our Ultra Bed Frame in Moon features a light grey fabric. To keep the look dynamic, consider complementing that shade with one of our Round Bolster Pillows in Forest. The combination of green and grey creates a calming, modern atmosphere while preventing the room from feeling too cool.
With minimalism, it’s important to be selective with statement pieces. Your cushioned bed frame is already the focal point. That being said, to make your room feel inviting and grounded for the New Year, you can still add a touch of surprise. Our Limited Edition Round Bolster Pillow in Vegan Pony can tie your space together with its cruelty-free, refined Palomino faux hide, offering an effortlessly striking accent.
Keeping It Clean
Many people set a goal to prioritize cleanliness when creating New Years resolutions. It makes sense, because feeling clean and fresh often helps you feel calm. To keep your SoftFrame® Designs bed frames and headboards looking their best, follow these care tips:
- Vacuum or use a soft brush to dust as needed.
- If spills occur, blot them right away and spot clean with a damp, clean cloth. Let the fabric air dry.
- Spot test any cleaning product in an inconspicuous area before use.
Make sure you do not remove the cover(s). Our covers are not removable for washing. Simply use a clean rag and mild detergent to treat any stubborn spots, and your plush frame will look refreshed in no time. As an alternative to spot cleaning, professional upholstery cleaning is recommended when needed.
A handheld steamer can help release wrinkles in your bed frame more quickly, similar to how steam supports skincare. These natural wrinkles do not affect the quality, structure, or performance of your bed frame.
New Year, New Story
In her essay “The White Album,” Joan Didion wrote, “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”
In 2026, the story you choose can be one of peace, comfort, and calm. Just as you select the focus of your mind, choosing the focus of your bedroom matters. Thoughts come and go, but you can intentionally focus on what brings you joy. Each day offers moments to shift away from negativity, which is what New Years is all about: fresh starts, new beginnings, and hope.
Make SoftFrame® Designs part of the story you live by in 2026.
