Designer Master Bedroom Ideas

Rich fabrics make an attractive addition to a master bedroom.


Your bedroom should be a comfortable relaxing space. With careful planning and savvy shopping, a designer bedroom design is well within your reach. Determine your goals for the space, romantic retreat or an eco-friendly function, as well as your preference for colors before embarking on a master bedroom redesign.


Eco-inspired








Eco-friendly design combines high-end style with sustainable components. Begin your eco-inspired master bedroom with a natural and soothing shade for the walls. Blues and greens inspired by sea, sky and botanical items make an excellent choice for a bedroom as they are relaxing and versatile. Choose a paint low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and install a sustainable flooring option such as recycled carpet or bamboo. To add texture to the room, use natural fabrics free of bleach and dyes, such as hemp and organic cotton, for bed coverings and window treatments.








Pair Patterns


Experiment with a bold designer technique in your master bedroom by pairing seemingly mismatched patterns. While too many disparate patterns and styles in one room can look busy and overwhelming, when done with focus, multiple patterns in a single space scream designer style. To achieve a high-end look, choose one color in multiple patterns. Experiment with stripes, botanicals, geometric shapes and polka dots in a similar hue. Use a simple pattern for large expanses of space such as the headboard, window treatments or bedding for a focused look. Incorporate more intricate patterns in smaller quantities, like throw pillows or lamp shades. Keep furniture simple, both in design and color or finish, so as not to fatigue the eye.


Romantic


Create a romantic retreat in your master suite. Sexy shades such as orange, tangerine and red infuse your space with life and energy. Romantic designs exude opulence with rich draping fabrics on the bed and as window treatments. For a bit of extra indulgence, create a canopy over the bed with flowing fabric to the floor. Pair a rich, dark wall color with light bright fabrics to avoid creating too heavy a look. Candles placed throughout the space will contribute to a romantic mood. Original artwork is a unique way to add designer style to your space. Choose pieces that intrigue and inspire you for your romantic bedroom escape.
