Beautiful master bedroom with light yellow tones, seating area and an expansive view
For those gifted with DIY skills, you can repurpose an old door for use as a headboard. It is nice to have a headboard run from the floor to the ceiling because it creates a focal point and accentuates the height of the room. One can stick tiles, wooden planks, or even create a mural in the form of a blown up photograph on the wall behind the bed.

Other features that exude a modern taste include the use of shiny surfaces such as metalworks and glass, polished concrete floors, and simple patterns. To maintain a modern feel where less is more, customized hidden cabinets in the walls or under the bed is a nifty way to store your belongings when they’re not in use.

Size Matters
In master bedroom design, size does matter. Before purchasing furniture, measure and check that the furniture pieces are proportionate to the space available and that people can still walk around without bumping into all the furniture. If space is limited, there are several small master bedroom ideas to choose from.
Light blue bright master bedroom decor
Reflective surfaces like a mirror hung opposite a window can help make a space feel bigger and brighter. Light colors are safest to use since dark colors tend to create an illusion of a smaller space if used incorrectly.

To make windows look bigger, curtains should drape to the floor to give the illusion of tall windows. When the curtains are drawn, the curtain rods should extend beyond the sides of the windows to give the illusion that the windows are wider still.

Also, avoid using bulky furniture and opt for furniture pieces that have open shelving or are raised off the ground. Picking furniture on legs or suspending them by mounting them to the wall lessens the visual weight by revealing more floor space. It also makes cleaning easier.

Master bedroom designs are changing from suspended beds to movable walls with hidden compartments in resource furniture. Customization can be expensive, so try to purchase furniture pieces that have dual functions, such as an ottoman that doubles as a small storage bin.

Stylish couches have removable tables that can be placed on the wide armrests and built-in storage beneath the cushions. All this is possible without sacrificing comfort and aesthetics.

For dramatic effects, canopies can be hung from the back of the bed going up and across the ceiling. If there is a fireplace in the room, it is a great spot to place candles for a touch of romance.

Usually large, white candles of varied height will look great. A small cabinet nearby used as a cocktail bar or even a stylish cart on wheels can add a cohesive look.

If certain areas of the room are an eyesore, like a desk that speaks of work and stress, an inexpensive solution can be a decorative folding screen or nifty wall partition hung from the ceiling or on tracks to keep it out of sight when not in use. After all, having a work place in a bedroom isn’t always a great idea for relaxation and sleep, as once often then associates the bedroom with work.

The Bottom Line
Master bedrooms should provide a refuge for rest and relaxation, so make sure that whatever design ideas you have will emphasize those two attributes.
