Tips for designing a master bedroom

Tips for designing a master bedroom

Designing a master bedroom isn't just about choosing furniture and decor; it's about curating a space that embodies comfort and reflects your style. In this guide, we'll explore invaluable tips to help you transform your master bedroom into your own personalised oasis. 

Define your style

Before you begin designing your master bedroom, take a moment to explore and define your preferred style. Whether you lean towards modern chic, cosy farmhouse, elegant traditional, or minimalistic designs, identifying your style preference is a good starting point for the design process. 

Optimise space and layout

Once you’ve decided on style, take the time to assess your room's layout and make a plan to optimise your usage of the space. You should ensure there's ample walking space around the bed and other key furniture pieces. A well-balanced layout not only contributes to a calm environment but also enhances the functionality of the room.  One important but often overlooked consideration is the location of the door in the room, as this will affect the placement of your bed. When buying a King size upholstered base, you should consider where the bed will be positioned relative to the door to avoid the split being visible.

Choose the right bed

Select a comfortable and inviting bed that complements your chosen style. A high-quality mattress paired with an aesthetically pleasing bed frame can serve as the focal point of the room. When deciding on the right bed, bigger is not always better. Instead, focus on finding the biggest bed you can comfortably fit. If you’re having trouble choosing the right mattress size, take your height and add 6 inches, then select the mattress longer than the length you calculated.  

Layer lighting

Introduce a variety of lighting sources to create an ambiance that suits different moods. Besides overhead lighting, consider incorporating bedside lamps, wall sconces, or even pendant lights. Dimmable lights provide flexibility, allowing you to adjust the room's brightness according to your preferences.

Create a relaxing colour palette

Choose soothing colours that contribute to a sense of calmness and relaxation. Soft neutrals, pastel tones, serene blues, or gentle greens often work wonders in creating a peaceful atmosphere. Consider adding pops of personality through accent colours or patterns in accessories like pillows, throws, or artwork.

Embrace texture and layering

Add depth and visual interest by incorporating various textures into the room. Consider layering with rugs, throws, cushions, and curtains to create a cosy and inviting ambiance. Mixing textures such as wood, fabric, metals, or natural elements can elevate the room's visual appeal.

Introduce functional furniture

Balance aesthetics with functionality by selecting furniture pieces that not only enhance the room's aesthetics but also serve practical purposes. Bedside tables, dressers, vanities, tallboys and seating options should complement the overall style while offering adequate storage and utility.

Declutter and organise

Maintain a clutter-free environment by incorporating adequate storage solutions. Use built-in shelves, under-bed storage, stylish baskets, or organisational furniture to keep the space tidy.
