7 Ideas to Create the Perfect Master Bedroom
The master bedroom is the most luxurious space in the house. At least, it should be. Too often it’s taken over by dirty laundry, an awkward furniture layout or mismatched décor. If your master bedroom needs a makeover, check out our top seven ideas for creating the perfect, luxurious, master bedroom.
1. Furniture Selection
Your furniture selection has a heavy bearing on how the final room will look. Consider whether you’d like a country-inspired look with a vintage metal bedframe, or an oriental atmosphere with heavy timbers. If you already have furniture pieces you’d like to carry over to the new room, how can they tie in with a furniture theme?
2. Furniture Layout
There are particular rules to furniture layout; of course, one doesn’t always get the best results by sticking to the rules, but in this case they do help make layout choices easier. Some simple tips include placing furniture slightly over the edge of rugs, choosing a focal point for the room and making sure there’s an easy traffic path.
3. Mirrors
Mirrors are not only great decorative items, but they make any room look larger (and not to mention, a mirror in the master bedroom means you don’t need to wait for the bathroom to get ready to go out).
4. Artwork
Artwork helps to tie in colours, themes, textures and fill up bare walls to bring a cosy feel to the bedroom. Choose something that fits the available space, complements your bedroom’s colours, textures, themes, and above all, choose something that speaks to you. You’ll have to look at it every day, after all.
5. Wardrobe
Built-in wardrobes have plenty of space and are fantastic for storing away all of your clothes. If you want to complement your built-in robe, a new wardrobe is a great way to let your master bedroom tell a story. It might be a vintage hardwood wardrobe that’s been handed down the family line, or a simple monotone unit from Ikea – whatever your choice, this is such a large item it can’t help but speak about your home’s theme. Is it sleek with clean lines, eclectic and mismatched, simple and modern, or something else? Let your wardrobe do the talking.
6. Décor
Use online tools like Pinterest and RoomStyler to create mood boards before starting your design. These tools show you a collation of the things you like and let you play around to see how they go together. Seeing the items you like laid out together helps consolidate your theme – do you like mostly natural style products, or is there a particular colour you lean towards for the bedroom? If your mix of items is eclectic, think about how you can tie the room together.
7. Bedding
Your bed will always be the focal point of the master bedroom, so choose textures, tones and colours that bring out your bedroom’s design theme.
