When you think of a relaxed bedroom, it can mean just about anything, but tranquil color and soft, luxurious fabrics first come to mind. In designing this client’s bedroom, we went with the elegance of white-on-white with full drapes and beautiful bedding. The colors in this space all meld together to create a peaceful and sophisticated look. The bedroom is soothing, simple, and soft, with a touch of crystal “glam” overhead – a modern take on a traditional look. In its style and scale, the look is also in keeping with the house as a whole.
In some cases, though, calm can mean a room filled with unique objects like beautiful art, funky furniture, or mementos
from a special trip. It can be a room layered with bright fabrics and wallpapers or books and objects. It can also be a minimalist room with a floating platform bed and simple side lamps where it’s all about the view outside.
Your bedroom is your haven, your quiet spot, your thoughtful place. It’s where you wash away a rough day, revisit a glorious day, or just reconnect. Your bedroom can be as personal as you are, so whatever you can imagine, you can do. It’s yours.
Tips for your master bedroom:
• You do not (and should not) buy all matching bedroom pieces.
• Create an accent wall. Generally, it’s the wall you face when you walk into the room.
• Incorporate a nonfunctional version of simple bamboo blinds, which could cut the price in half, so you can have those amazing (and expensive) drapes you’ve been wanting.
• Fill the room with your favorite scent.
• Invest in good bed linens – they are worth every penny!
