The bedroom is kept deliberately calm and pared back, with soft daylight filtering through to the en-suite beyond. A glazed opening draws light deep into the plan, while the restrained palette and gentle furnishings create a space that feels quiet, restful and unforced — a place to slow down at the end of the day.

Master Bedroom Ideas and Designs

When designing the perfect master bedroom, there are many things you should consider to make your space uniquely your own. The bedroom is a haven and needs to make you feel relaxed enough to be able to get a good night’s sleep.

Artwork and wall décor

Including choice pieces of artwork in your master bedroom décor or scheme can help to bring everything together while adding some personal style and flair. One way to display your artwork is to make a focal point of a gallery wall. A good-looking gallery wall can just be a collection of pictures, but it can also be so much more than that. Make it truly unique by adding your cherished items such as postcards, jewellery, items of clothing, anything really as long as it still looks stylish. Of course, this is just one idea and really anything you want to put on your walls goes - it’s up to you.

Lighting fixtures

The first and most essential aspect that defines your lighting choices in the bedroom is the size of the room. Pick light fixtures that emit enough light to illuminate every corner of the room in the desired fashion. Your choice of light fixture can literally transform the style and mood of your bedroom. You may also want to invest in side lamps for your bedside table, if you read in bed or don’t always want to have the main light on.

The size and style of bed frame you choose really does depend on the size of the room. With a small master bedroom, a bed too big would leave no room for other furniture so couldn’t work. With so many different types of bed available, it can be difficult to choose one. From air beds, bunk beds, cabin beds, canopy or four poster beds, divan beds, feather beds, futon beds, hammocks beds, loft beds, wall beds, sofa beds, space saving beds, trundle beds, water beds and platform beds, the choice is almost endless. After you’ve decided on the bed type for your bedroom, you may also want to complete the styled look with a choice headboard, bed linen and throw pillows. Whether you go for a statement headboard, upholstered headboard, or none, with all the choices, you can really create something unique.

What colours work in a master bedroom?

Choosing the right colour for your walls and furnishings in the bedroom is particularly important as different colours create different moods. Decide on the feel you are looking for in your room and choose colours that will help you achieve this.

Blue is a calming colour and in the bedroom creates a serene feel.
White feels clean and inviting and works as a blank canvas to create a peaceful and restful space.
Green is thought of as the most restful colour for the eye. It has been proven to reduce anxiety and relieve stress by helping people relax. It is a great colour for a bedroom.
Yellow is often associated with energy and happiness and although it is a good colour to use in the kitchen, for the bedroom, and in large amounts, it can create feelings of frustration and anger. Not what you want when you’re trying to sleep.
Red, the colour of passion. Such an intense colour so makes a great choice in a room where you might want to create an exciting atmosphere. It’s a colour that draws people together and sparks social interaction, perfect for a living room or dining room but not so much for a bedroom where you might want a more relaxing vibe.
Another calming colour that works in the bedroom is pink. Being exposed to large amounts of this colour gives a relaxed feel. Often, this colour can be seen as quite feminine, but using a shade with a blue undertone, or when paired with other colours such as grey, you can still create a master bedroom design that is gender neutral.

One way to bring colour and texture into your master bedroom without using paint is to use wallpaper. These days, there are so many beautiful choices in bold patterns and interesting textures that it is easy to create a space you love. If you opt for something a little more extravagant, then making it a featu
