What Are The Best Steampunk Bedroom Design Ideas?

It would be an understatement to say that there isn't a single "right" way to decorate your bedroom; rather, there are many options, some of which adhere to long-established norms and others of which are radically novel. Distinctive means they are one of a kind in a huge way. In the vein of steampunk.

In Steampunk, the steam engine and its era are celebrated. It's the kind of decor that would have been popular a century ago when people tried to picture how their lives might be in the future.

The style is reminiscent of the industrial era, but with a more inventive spin. Imagine you are the director of a science fiction film.

Give us a glimpse into the bedroom of your movie's protagonist. This is the essence of the steampunk genre. Now, let's talk about some creative ways to decorate your bedroom in the steampunk style.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

This is your chance to fulfil your childhood dream of riding in a submarine. Metallic looking wall coverings. Submarine-themed wall art and a vintage ceiling fan adorn these walls and ceiling.

Add a steel bed frame to finish the room. It may seem far fetched to some, but if you're into steampunk, you're probably already there. Is it too much? That's the case, so why stop there? Add that special something that will make them curious to explore further.

Gear It Up

How can you achieve that steampunk vibe while decorating your bedroom dressing table? Simple: just collect the appropriate sized gears and set them up in the right order (a hint: gears have always been aligned with each other). The next step is to place mirrors into the gears.

The nicest part about steampunk is that it can seem either romantic or straight out of a horror film, depending on how it's decorated (like Saw). Get a style that suits your own needs and interests.

Old Map Of The World On Your Wall

Your home's decor should represent your adventurous spirit if you consider yourself an explorer. A global map, preferably one that's old and tattered, will complete the ensemble. Then, to demonstrate your enthusiasm for travel, you can add a tiny pattern of globes.

You might think of a map as a miniature library that you can keep on your wall. A library is a sign of your academic prowess, while a map displays your passion for travel and exploration. Displaying a map on the wall gives off such a dramatic and impressive visual effect that it needs no additional decor to stand out.

Hanging Light Bulbs Over The Bed

We're talking steampunk romance with this one. Strings of globe-shaped lights dangling above the mattress. The bed's backdrop is a plain brick wall, which contributes to the steampunk vibe. The bed's natural wood surroundings are complemented by the stairs that double as storage.

When you need extra storage but don't have a side table handy, you can use the stairs instead. The bed's metal pillars have a practical purpose—they hold up the light bulb string—but they also lend an air of industrial chic to the space.

Add A Gyro Crystal Chandelier

Any room can be given a futuristic feel with the help of a gyro crystal chandelier. Then, add some gears and globes to the area to give it a more steampunk vibe. Additionally, a few leather briefcases that appear like they're from the 1970s would do the trick.

If you want to make it even more obvious, put some glass science bottles in the background. Have you ever fancied yourself as a mad scientist? Your time to shine has arrived. Get a steampunk vibe like Johnny Depp's set with these kinds of decor. You'll dig the steampunk style whether you prefer Edward Scissorhands or Sleepy Hollow.

Rotting Out Globe

You need not completely renovate your bedroom. You may achieve the steampunk look you want in your bedroom by displaying a few tiny items from the genre. Take a look at this globe, the fabric of which appears to be rotting. The atmosphere is enhanced, however, by the fact that the metal frame of the globe appears to be rusting.

A filament bulb lights up the interior, while the base has a few wheels and gears. There are miniature magnifiers mounted on top. It's the final touch your bedroom needs to complete its steampunk or industrial theme.

Try A Steampunk Photo Frame

Gears and metal that has been rusted and charred can be found off to one side. Can a steampunk aesthetic ever be achieved without gears? Several gears are a wonderful match for one another. The fact that they don't fit is of no consequence.

An eagle's wings perched on one end, illuminated by a single filament. That sums up steampunk perfectly in a single picture. You can find this steampunk-style picture frame anywhere. But even if you don't, it's simple to create!

Steampunk Wall Clock

Here is a steampunk wall clock with a lot of attention to detail. This clock seems to be concealing something behind all those gears and chains. Maybe there's a hidden passageway accessible by turning the right gears.

Adaptation time is inevitable. There are a lot of moving parts, chains, padlocks, and other distractions that make it difficult to read the time.

Put this on your wall and everyone will want to see your room. Because of its exquisite design, though, you may prefer to display it in the living room rather than the bedroom.

A Steampunk Octopus Wall Plaque

Bronze artwork like this will enhance the steampunk vibe of your private quarters. It's sporting a pair of thick glasses, a signature accessory of the steampunk aesthetic. Could you also have a look at the tentacles?

Incredible in design, the tentacles exude a sinister vibe to which we've grown used (due to Dr. Octopus and Blackbeard). And of course, Cthulhu; who could ever forget him?

In popular media, octopus-like creatures have developed a bad reputation. Create that steampunk with a bad boy/girl vibe by hanging this plaque on the wall.

Steampunk Bed Linen

You may achieve the proper bed linen for a steampunk vibe without spending a fortune on room renovations or artwork. Instead, take a look at the steampunk cat that decorates the bed linens.

The cat is manufactured from metal, and the entire series is painted to look like rusted steel. This cat's fur is covered in gears, and its body contains pocket clocks that shine a bright yellow. Incredible in its steampunkness! You can always spend a little more to complete the appearance by purchasing complementary artwork or picture frames.

A Wall Full Of Gears

It's only wallpaper, but it looks like a bunch of rusty metal gears. A quick and easy way to achieve the desired aesthetic in your room. A 3D effect can be achieved by suspending gears from the ceiling or wall.

This wallpaper is sufficiently steampunk to give your space an old and rustic feel even if you don't want to go all the way. Use this wallpaper to make your guests feel like they've stepped into a science fiction film.

Steampunk Guy Fawkes Mask

A Guy Fawkes mask is mysterious and fashionable regardless of whether or not you are a fan of Anonymous or the film V for Vendetta. And if you give it a steampunk twist, you've got yourself a masterpiece within a masterpiece.

You can make the perfect piece of wall decor for your space out of a bronze Guy Fawkes mask and a few random gears. Get the full effect by using steampunk bedding with steampunk wallpaper.

Keep A Couple Of Old Bottles

Bottles with a patina of age and use can be a great addition to a steampunk bedroom. These vials of enchantment appear to have been plucked straight from the pages of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.

They could hold wine for those nights when you just want to curl up with a book and a glass, but even if they're just filled with water, you'll feel like you're drinking out of a magical chalice because of how they make even ordinary water taste. You may either buy them already styled for the steampunk aesthetic, or you can buy plain old chemistry bottles and paint them yourself.

A Steampunk Table Lamp

Walls, artwork, and accessories all contribute to the room's overall theme. A side table with a lamp on it is also there. Look at this one-of-a-kind steampunk table light that looks like a movie projector.

You can rock this style with equal panache in either a steampunk or a movie nerd milieu. This table light won't disappear when you decide to redecorate the room.

Changing up the standard bulb for a filament one will give it a more steampunk appearance.

Steampunk Side Tables

If you're in the market for a piece of steampunk-inspired furniture, your search ends here. It's tiny, comes in grey, and is shaped like a gear. Additionally, the top is a dark grey colour with gear patterns.

Swapping up the knobs for gear-shaped ones will give it a more steampunk look. The colour rust complements this style perfectly. This steampunk and fantasy-inspired side table is reminiscent of the British Victorian era.

Ship’s Wheel For Steampunk Look

To achieve a steampunk aesthetic, it takes more than just gears. The look of a ship's wheel and some vintage leather briefcases is absolutely appropriate for a steampunk theme.

You could locate a pair of leather briefcases among your family's antiques. These briefcases were stylish in addition to being extremely sturdy. To complement your collection of leather briefcases, all you need to do is go out and buy a ship's wheel.

Steampunk Ceiling Fan

The steampunk fan is unlike any other ceiling fan with its numerous blades. Certainly not aerodynamically optimal, but it does create a charmingly old-fashioned appearance. A filament bulb, standard in steampunk style, is included.

The fan seems to have worn out blades. Using a rust-colored paint can give it that look. Make sure the paint isn't finished properly, though, otherwise it won't have the desired weathered appearance.

The Mad Hatter Look

We return now with even more. Once again, there is something about him that is distinctly odd, unusual, and steampunk.

The Mad Hatter's hat is a fantastic piece of decor for your private quarters. Your appreciation for steampunk can be on full display with this clock that features gears, chains, and keys. Assuming it's cloth, the hat, of course, would be grey. Brown is a good colour choice if the material is leather.

And when you're ready to walk outside, don't forget to put it on so your fellow steampunkers can see how serious you are about your fandom.

A Boat Bed

Is there a specific style of bed that would complement a steampunk room? It should be nothing short of spectacular. A plain bed would not fit in with the rest of your steampunk decor.

Take a look at this comfy boat mattress. It seems like it was plucked straight from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The steampunk who enjoys a voyage into their own realm of invention will feel right at home on this boat, which appears to have had leather belts fastened to its sides and whose material appears to be green and worn apart.

Steampunk Musical Instruments

As a steampunk, you can still flaunt your appreciation for tunes. A steampunk guitar allows you to blend your steampunk aesthetic with your musical preferences.

This instrument is split in the middle with a series of wires and cords constructed of brass gears. It may look odd, but you can actually play it rather effectively, making it an ideal choice for the occasion when you need to both demonstrate your musical prowess and your enthusiasm for steampunk.

Stacked Leather Briefcases

You can make do with two leather briefcases as end tables. But build a wall out of them if you have a lot of them.

The dimensions of the briefcases were used in the creation of this wooden frame. Because of this layout, fewer suitcases and storage containers will be required. You can acquire a wooden frame for them even if you only have a couple.

Because you can store all of your garments in there while still maintaining your steampunk aesthetic, it's a novel solution for tidy, clutter-free storage.

A Furnace From Another World

A furnace is perfect if you prefer a more traditional method of heating your bedroom. Add some steampunk metal to your stove's aesthetic. For fans of Game of Thrones or The Lord of the Rings, the dragon is a must-have.

The brick wall serves as a backdrop for the furnace. To round off the steampunk aesthetic, hang some gears on the wall.

Hang Old Maps On Your Wall

As we've already established, antique maps are a popular choice for adorning a steampunk bedroom.

You can hang these from the wall, or use them as lamp shades. Remember that the more worn the map appears, the more at home it will feel in your space.

Purchase A Globe

The antique appeal of terrestrial globes makes them a favourite accessory in the steampunk bedroom.

Look for an item that appears to be very old if you want it to add to the atmosphere of the room. To add to that, it's the kind of thing that youngsters will want to spin over and over again.

Make Use Of Exposed Bricks

Do not hide any exposed brick that may be seen anywhere inside your home; instead, proudly show it off.

However, if you find out that the structure of your house prevents you from doing so, you can always resort to wallpaper.
