As a professional designer, there is nothing that gives away an amateur design like pieces that simply look to big or too small for the floorplan. I encourage you to either draw out the layout of your room, or use a computer program or phone app (there are tons available) to map out how each piece will fit. My second piece of advice is pick with a color palette and stick to it. Beautiful bedrooms tend to have a very cohesive style. A big part of that is the fact that the color scheme, accessories and furniture all blend together.

Master bedroom decor is one of those projects that you can really have fun with. Chances are that very few people will be going into your bedroom. For this reason, you dont have to worry about designing a space that anybody but yourself (and your partner) loves. This means that you can incorporate elements in your master bedroom designs, that you would not ordinarily add to other areas of your house. This room is a great example of what I am talking about. The rest of this clients home is decorated in a very traditional style. A lot of deep burgundy and emerald tones with dark wood accents. She wanted a space that was light and bright for her to relax in. This decor would not really blend with the rest of the house, so we decided to incorporate it into her bedroom decor ideas. We did an all white color palette for paint, flooring, furniture and linens. Then, to add some elements of style, I scattered touches of gold and mirrored accents throughout the space. The final look is quite the opposite of anything she had done before, but perfectly suited her wishes.

When you are putting together master bedroom decor, it is important to consider all items you wish to bring into the room. Without proper planning, you run the risk of not being able to fit everything, or creating a cluttered uncohesive look. My advice is to always compile your favorite master bedroom ideas first, then rank them on necessity. Chances are that, with a little bit of creativity, you can fit everything. But just in case that is not possible, it is always helpful to map out your design first. This lovely master bedroom is a great example of a situation where we narrowed down the wants and needs in order to plan the decor. The three things that this client really wanted were a large flat screen television, fireplace feature and bookcases built from rugged dark wood. In order to incorporate all of these items in this fairly narrow room, we modified our ordinal bed design to make it fit. Originally, we wanted to do a large four poster bed in the same wood as the built ins. However, we knew this would not fit with the fireplace and mounted television. Instead, we swapped out the statement bed with a simple slim headboard that took up significantly less space.

You may call me crazy, but we just converted our former formal living room into a master suite. Previously, we had never really used the front living area of our home and I have always been attracted to trendy first floor bedroom ideas. The remodel was actually quite simple. We loved the existing panelling and built in bookcase, dark oak floors, and wood burning fireplace. I thought it would make an elegant and cozy addition to bedroom decoration. To make it seem more like a bedroom, we simply added a door to the existing half bath and upgraded it to a larger master bathroom. In addition, we converted one side of the room into a walk in closet. For the master bedroom decor, we wanted to keep it simple and let the unique architectural elements of the space be the star. I chose a classic white headboard and gorgeous antique side tables to use as night stands. Simple bed linens with elegant throw pillows completed the look. After taking on this project, I would highly recommend using your creativity and consider converting unused spaces into something fantastic.

I think that most people think that bedroom interior design is somehow different than decorating the rest of your home. The techniques are certainly the same, just carried out with different furniture and goals in mind. Throughout the rest of the home, we tend to always be considering traffic flow, how a space can be used for friends and family to gather, as well as keeping cohesive styles and home decor ideas throughout all of the rooms. The bedroom on the other hand, can have a different look and feel than the rest of the home; however, the same principals of design still apply. This room is a great example of using consistent color palette and decor theme to amp up the style, while still adding uniquely bedroom elements. The lovely wood bed and coordinating nightstands provide a basis for the master bedroom decor. To add a bit of style, they added a fun accent wall with contemporary style mosaic wallpaper. A coordinating grey area rug, armchair and artwork complete the space.

Bedroom design can be intimidating because you spend a large portion of your evening at home in this space. For this reason, I always encourage our clients to think long and hard about the style and room decor they want to incorporate into the space. Depending on your personal preference, bold bright colors and a cluttered design can make it hard to relax. On the other hand, a simple and soothing color palette paired with luxe linens can provide a relaxing oasis in your home. For this bedroom design we incorporated a little bit of both worlds. Our client loved neutral master bedroom decor but did want to incorporate some muted pops of color. To achieve this, we kept the paint palette, furniture and bedding quite simple. Nothing too bold that would overwhelm the space. Then, to bring in a bit of decor interest, we added these abstract wall art pieces that all utilized the similar earthy tones. To complete the look, we added a few coordinating throw pillows, a plush area rug, and contemporary light fixtures throughout.
