Master Bedroom Essentials

Tense times call for a soothing retreat into your master bedroom. As we prepare to come out of hibernation, it’s time to give our bedroom decor a good overhaul.

Color Selection of a Master Bedroom

Colors in a bedroom must feel calming and stimulating at the same time.

For colors that radiate freshness, bring in Benjamin Moore shades of 2023 like Rosy Peach, Aegean Teal, and Potters Clay but with a quirk. Color washing! The unfinished plastered finish adds an artistic panache.

That floral focal wall you just put in? Nourish them with some trimmings in fresh neutrals like Muslin.

Fancy some charcoal sleek? Exposed bricks are the partners to a laid-back Trout Grey.

A bedroom is all about the feels. A bedroom design that resonates with you is everything you need!

For the lovers of the basic, Scandinavian provides minimal flair with the warmth of raw, natural textures while mid-century modern offers a pretty trip down history without overpowering.

Similarly, tips for tricky maximalist and eclectic styles are balance and blending. Pair black velvet accent walls with robin-egg-blue décor and bronzed fixtures for a look that jumps right off the glossy pages of a magazine.

The Master bedroom should be your personal sanctuary at home!

The ultimate step in any ardent interior designer’s rulebook is layering.

You can bring whatever style through layering-area rugs on carpets, quilts on a chaise, framed photographs on textured walls, and organized trinkets on finished surfaces, as long as harmony is upheld!

Do you prefer headboards that stretch wall-to-wall or graze the ceiling?

Maybe, you are a green panther and would elect a gorgeous rattan piece.

From tradition to minimalist interior design, wooden headboards are ageless beauties.

Whereas upholstered headboards have our hearts. The traditional tufted beauties or contemporary scalloped headboards can singularly jack up the luxury quotient of your bedroom.

The fabrics used can range from highly chic linens and velvet to equally tasteful leather and suede.

While solid colors are trusty options, bold prints pack a punch.

A swanky headboard is incomplete without a dapper bed frame, full of character.

While padded bedframes have tons of personality, a wooden or open-frame can create some contrast. For a rustic vibe, fit reclaimed wood into a wrought iron frame!

Interior designers also vouch for bed-legs. Turned, tapered, or squared. Mid-century Spartans, canopy beds, or fancy half posters, beds with legs just stand tall!
