Ideas For Decorating The Walls In A Master Bedroom

The master suite is your private sanctuary.


The master bedroom is the most intimate room in the house, and the walls are the cornerstone of the room. This room should reflect your personal preferences, and if you share a room, the room should suit both people's taste. Creating a private sanctuary where you can rest and relax will help to rejuvenate your body after a long day at work.


Color


The color of the bedroom walls can be light or dark depending what décor suits your needs. If the room is very lush you may want to paint only one color to keep everything balanced. For instance, if your room is filled with fine cherry wood furnishings, paint the wall behind the bed burgundy or pastel purple. Purple complements cherry wood, but there are also many other colors that will do the trick.


If the room is filled with basic oak furniture, then consider a more neutral color like yellow or baby blue. Be selective about wallpaper because it can be hard to find a pattern that matches the décor of the bedding and other accessories in the room.


Good Housekeeping magazine suggests white, gray or beige walls for a modern master bedroom.


Texture


The color of the room is one of the most vital decisions when it comes to decorating, however the texture of paint can also make a difference. Decide on whether you would like a matte or glossy look. Glossy paint usually works well in the kitchen, but it can also suit a master bedroom depending on your color choice. A matte look is very pretty for light colors, and glossy paint usually adds depth to darker colors. Some paints have different textures that can add a sensual feel to the wall as well.


Accessories


Accessories like crown molding or even wood molding that wraps around the center of the room can add a sophisticated finishing touch to the walls in the room. Crown molding is ideal for people who have elegant taste and appreciate the finer things in life. Let a professional install the molding to ensure a polished look.


White or cherry wood molding usually works well depending on the color of the walls. White molding looks lovely in a room with a nautical theme. Cherry molding can complement plain white or pastel walls as long the furniture matches. Cherry wood molding may look off-base in a room with oak furniture so select molding wisely.


Other accessories like paintings and framed photographs can also add a personal feel to a master suite. Choose items that blend well with the overall décor of the room. For instance, if you are going for a French country look, choose rustic white frames for your pictures.
