Building in The Sims 4 is nearly limitless, which is often a favorite aspect of the game for players. But it can also be a source of frustration. This is because you can sometimes hit a wall and need help with inspiration. Check out our extensive list below for ideas on what to do when building and designing bedrooms in The Sims 4.
How to get bedroom-building ideas in The Sims 4
There are tons of ways to spark inspiration for building while playing The Sims 4. We’ve compiled a few of the most useful ones that we fall back on when we’re running low on creative juices:
Colorful Teen Room
Interior design for bedrooms doesn’t need to be for adults only; your teen Sims deserve some style, too! There are several expansion packs that will make this kind of room especially easy to attain: High School Years, Pastel Pop, Parenthood, etc. But you don’t need these to make an aesthetically pleasing adolescent pad. As you’re able to see in the above photo, even the base game of The Sims 4 can provide color and style if you get creative. You should focus onbright colors, interesting shapes, bright lighting, and personal clutter.
Minimalism
Technically, minimalism is really just the focus on not creating excess clutter or designing beyond what you (or your Sim) need. But most of us know that there is an associated aesthetic with modern-day minimalism. This typically shows up in the form ofneutral colors, rounded corners, and natural fibers. This style is one of the easiest to achieve without any special packs. you may even look at this as the opposite of the Tiny Living challenge. Try and keep items to a minimum while still looking stylish.

Fancy Living
If your Sim is rich, or just has aspirations of wealth, consider making their bedroom reflect that. Use lots ofgold accents, marble/glass, and use of excess features like bedroom fireplaces. You may end up spending a lot of money on this one, so make sure to look at your Sim’s budget. While many packs like Get Famous and Vintage Glamour help you achieve this look, there are tons of luxury items available in base gameplay.
Cramped Space
The Tiny Living stuff pack introduced small spaces and constraints in a more official capacity, but you don’t necessarily need it installed to make creative use of small areas. If you want to challenge yourself and your Sims, try making a small space lively. To achieve this, usecombination items like loft beds and smaller appliances like doorless showers. Even consider turning on thebb.moveobjects cheatto get yourself more space to work with.
Vampire Lair
This might be the most limiting of all of our entries on this list, but we couldn’t resist suggesting it due to its novelty. Vampire lairs are technically bedrooms, too! Having the Vampires game pack is a must, but the rest can be improvised. Make sure you havea coffin, candle-based lighting, and lots of use of the color black. You can even deviate from this if you wish and create a colorful and happy Vampire bedroom.
Double Kid’s Room
Looking to strike a middle ground between space constraints and bright colors? Then look no further than a double bedroom. Take the challenge by having two (or more) of your Sim kids have to share a bedroom, then make the most of it! Key points to focus on aredoubles of key furniture, plenty of space for playing, and cute colors/patterns. You don’t need any special packs for this one, but it can help to have ones like Kids Room, Pastel Pop, and My First Pet.

Gaming Setup
You don’t have to base your bedroom around just sleeping, you can also look at your Sim’s hobbies. Consider placing a gaming setup right at the core of their bedroom. Focus oncolorful lighting, flashy electronics, and gaming-related decor. This one can be made easier with High School Years and Discover University, but any pack that gives you electronics and cool lights is valuable for this bedroom.
