The master bedroom is first and foremost a retreat where the body and mind should be able to unwind and recharge. Ideally, it should be easy to fall asleep in the master bedroom. If the bed becomes an area for stressful work instead, then logically, one cannot associate the bed with a place where they can rest fully. This is where good master bedroom interior design comes into play.

The Basics
Master bedroom designs are based on the idea that the master bedroom is typically the largest bedroom in a house with its focal point being the bed. Ergonometric standards require a minimum bed height of just up to the knees so that it would be comfortable to transfer from an inert to sitting position when getting in or out of bed. In terms of bed size, a queen or king size bed is suitable for couples in a master bedroom design.

Other important furniture pieces include the night stands. A bedside table, which should be situated near electrical outlets is usually placed on either side of the bed.

The top of the tables should be level with the bed height to keep reading glasses, cellular phones, alarm clocks, and other important items within reach. Also, the bottom brim of the lamp shades should be lower than eye level to provide enough shade from a glaring light bulb.

Master bedroom interior design ideas vary depending on the traffic flow and furniture layout desired. Some may ask for a desk and chair to work on, a dresser, or television, or even a seating area incorporated into the room.

It is best to realize first how you want to use the master bedroom before coming up with a design theme. The basic functions of a master bedroom require sleeping and rest, work, leisure and entertainment, and of course some storage.

Addressing Common Problems
One way to decide what you need to be able to do in the master bedroom is to brainstorm about your daily routine from waking up to just before going to sleep. Afterwards, you can see what areas need to be addressed. For example, maybe getting ready in the morning is hard because there are too many furniture pieces in the way or there are items getting lost.

If there is no attached walk-in-closet, a simple, but stylish chair by the door to sit on when putting on shoes and an end table for laying out the next day’s bag and accessories can help make getting ready in the morning easier.

Usually the best designs come to mind when you are trying to solve problems. Another example of a problem when decorating the master bedroom is cold floors. If you like to walk around barefoot in the morning but you hate having to walk on a cold floor and you cannot afford to install carpeting, you can place a large, decorative rug that frames the bed area instead.

The Importance of Color
For good master bedroom decorating ideas, it is recommended to have images and pegs for inspiration and reference when shopping. Typical modern master bedroom decors call for neutral colors such as black, off-white, shades of gray, and neutral cappuccino-like colors.

The rule of thumb with colors is to design with no more than three main colors in a room. Keep in mind that neon colors are not very conducive to relaxing in a bedroom. Colors that are easy on the eyes tend to be more on the “cool” side of the color wheel such as blue.

Shades or tints, like pastel blue, make for good color schemes. Note that one color may serve as an accent color, or a color that pops out against a majority of more neutral values. For example, a pop of green on a black and white background is aesthetically pleasing.

Restoring old classic furniture can also be cost-effective and can be customized to fit the design theme you’re seeking. For example, an antique table can be brought back to life as a make-up table. Try painting it a solid color of black with a matte finish.
A white marble top can be added with a tall mirror mounted on it and with light bulbs lining the frame. Add a matching set of accessories such as a clear acrylic case for jewelry, a pink orchid plant in a silver vase, and memorabilia such as a framed achromatic photograph.

Materials
Another design element to consider is the choice of materials. In the current design industry, industrial style mixed with contemporary style is most commonly used for master bedrooms. One way to achieve this look is to use exposed brick for an accent wall behind the bed.
