How To Curate
A
Rich-dad-bedroom

Here's the boyshostel suggestion on how to curate a rich-dad-bedroom:  

What Defines a Rich-Dad-Bedroom?

​

Firstly, let's begin with what a rich dad bedroom is not, 

​

  • It’s not hypebeast (no sneakers on display, no cartoonish collectibles dominating).

  • It’s not minimalist (too bare, too “start-up founder” energy).

  • It’s not maximalist (no clutter, no loud patterns).

 

Unlike trendy or minimalist spaces, a Rich-Dad Bedroom always has these non-negotiable markers:

​​

1: Commanding Centerpiece Bed 

  • Large, weighty frame (wood, leather, or upholstered in deep tones).

  • Presence over sleekness — it should feel like the room belongs to it.

2: Timeless Materials, Not Trends

  • Woods (mahogany, walnut, oak), marbles, leathers, heavy drapery

  • No plastic, acrylic, or lightweight “fast furniture.”

3: Heritage Objects

  • Art, collectibles, or heirloom-quality décor (a watch case, sculpture, rare book stack).

  • Items that whisper wealth without needing logos.

4: Muted Power Palette

  • Deep neutrals, navy, forest green, burgundy, or beige + gold accents.

  • No neon, no excessive whites — it’s authority, not minimalism.

5: Subtle Opulence

  • A rich-dad bedroom is never loud. It’s about understated dominance — the quiet kind of wealth that doesn’t need to prove itself.

In short: A Rich-Dad Bedroom = A commanding bed + timeless, weighty materials + heritage objects, all wrapped in muted power colors. If those three aren’t present, it doesn’t qualify.
