1. Install a Statement Chandelier

A chandelier in the master bedroom serves as a focal point, creating a sense of luxury and sophistication. Choose a style that complements the room’s decor, whether it’s modern, vintage, or classic. Ensure it provides sufficient light while creating a cozy ambiance.

2. Choose the Right Wall-to-Wall Carpet

Installing wall-to-wall carpeting adds warmth and comfort underfoot, ideal for colder climates. Select a durable, stain-resistant fabric in a color that complements your room’s palette. It also helps in soundproofing the space, ensuring a tranquil environment.

3. Create a Board & Batten Accent Wall

A board and batten accent wall provides texture and architectural interest. Paint it in a contrasting color to make it a standout feature. This design element works well in both traditional and contemporary bedrooms.

4. Select Elegant Floor-Length Curtains

Floor-length curtains add elegance and the illusion of height to the room. Choose a heavy fabric for insulation and light blocking or a lighter fabric for a breezy feel. Ensure they match the room’s color scheme and overall style.

5. Add a Wooden Headboard for Style

A wooden headboard introduces a natural, rustic element to the bedroom. Choose from various woods like oak or walnut for durability and aesthetic appeal. The headboard can be intricately carved for a traditional look or sleek for a modern feel.

6. Personalize with Unique Wall Art

Wall art personalizes the space and serves as a visual anchor. Select pieces that reflect your personal style and create a desired mood, whether calming or invigorating. The scale of the art should be proportionate to the wall space.

7. Place a Plush Area Rug

A plush area rug provides comfort and warmth, especially on hard flooring. Choose a size that fits well within your furniture arrangement and a pattern that complements the room’s decor. It’s also an easy way to introduce color and texture.

8. Design a Coastal-Themed Master Bedroom

For a coastal interior, use light, airy colors like blues and whites. Natural materials like wood and wicker add a beachy feel. Keep the decor light and breezy with minimal clutter to evoke a relaxed, seaside atmosphere.

9. Opt for Light Sheer Curtains

Sheer curtains allow natural light to filter in, creating a soft, airy feel. They offer a level of privacy while maintaining an open, bright ambiance. Pair them with heavier drapes for versatility in light and privacy control.

10. Refurbish with White-Washed Furniture

White-washed furniture brings a light, airy feel to the bedroom. It works well in shabby chic, farmhouse, or coastal-inspired decor. The muted tone of white-washed furniture allows for bold accents in bedding or curtains.

11. Style a Dark, Masculine Bedroom

A dark, masculine bedroom uses deep colors like navy or charcoal to create a cozy, enveloping feel. Use contrasting textures and materials like leather or metal for interest. Keep lighting subdued but sufficient for reading and relaxation.

12. Make the Most of a Bay Window

A bay window can become a charming focal point with the right treatment. Consider a built-in window seat with storage underneath. Dress it with cushions and throws for a cozy reading nook while enjoying the outdoor view.

13. Brighten with Skylight Windows

These architectural marvels bring the beauty of the sky indoors, filling your space with natural light and a sense of openness. At night, they offer a view of the stars, adding a romantic touch. Ensure they have shades or covers for light control during sleep.

17. Revamp with Decorative Wallpaper

Decorative wallpaper adds a dramatic effect and can serve as a feature wall. Opt for patterns that complement the room’s scale – larger patterns for spacious rooms and subtle designs for smaller spaces. Wallpaper is an easy way to inject personality.

18. Embrace a Pastel Interior

A pastel interior creates a soft, soothing environment. Use light pinks, blues, or greens for a tranquil and feminine touch. Balance it with neutral colors in furniture and flooring for a grounded look.

19. Enhance Comfort with Throw Pillows

Throw pillows add comfort and an opportunity to introduce color, texture, and pattern. Mix and match different sizes and styles for an eclectic look or keep them uniform for a more streamlined appearance. They are an easy decor item to swap out seasonally.

20. Introduce a Luxurious Canopy Bed

A canopy bed adds drama and romance to the bedroom. It can be dressed with light fabrics for a dreamy, ethereal feel or left bare for a more modern, minimalist look. Ensure the bed’s size is proportionate to the room’s dimensions.

What is the best color for the master bedroom?

Colors can have a significant effect on your mood. Blue is a great option because it evokes feelings of relaxation and calmness. It will help you transition into a calm state for a more restful night’s sleep. Brown and grey are also good options because they are neutral and invoking.

What should a master bedroom have?

There are several pieces of furniture that every bedroom should have. You need a bed, dresser, nightstands, and a place to sit. Other nice features are a mirror, desk, and console for the TV.

What can I do with an oversized master bedroom?

An oversized bedroom is a unique challenge because you have more space than you need for the standard master bedroom furniture. Start by dividing the floor plan into zones. You’ll have one area that’s meant for sleeping, with your bed and nightstands.

Another area could be meant for getting ready. It will have your dresser, armoire, or clothing rack. Other options for the additional space include a desk for working or a chair for a reading nook.
