Does your master bedroom make you want to yawn, even in the middle of the day? No worries! Turning your bland bedroom into a romantic, restful, and relaxing abode is easy as pie with with these super simple master bedroom decorating ideas.

Create the ultimate bedroom for rest and romance

Let the Walls Work for You

You can enhance the mood of your bedroom instantly with the right color. Infuse the room with a passion color like deep lavender or earthen browns, ranging from pale caramel to rich chocolate browns. Staying on the warm side of the color palette promotes restful sleep and amps up the spice factor to the boudoir as well.
Create a custom wall mural from your favorite digital photo and use it as the focal point in your bedroom. From your honeymoon to your latest couple’s getaway, find your best romantic photo and let the memories work their magic!

Advice from the Ritz… and Mom

All the finest hotels in the world can’t be wrong when it comes to using crisp white linens. Take a hint from them and invest in a good set or two of your own. The same goes for summer and winter comforters. Get outside the “bed in a bag” thinking and find bed covers that feel and look amazing.

Lighting, linens and decor make the perfect master bedroom

Once you have your linens, be sure to wash your sheets once a week minimum and launder the comforters seasonally (and as needed). And remember what Mom taught you- always make your bed. Nothing is as inviting as fresh clean sheets and a well-made bed.

Rethink the Lights

Switch out those old table lamps and go for wall sconces instead. These will tastefully frame your bed and free up nightstand space at the same time (fresh flowers anyone?). For a cozy colorful glow, go for a pair of Tiffany inspired sconces hung on either side of the bed. For a more elegant look, choose crystal chandelier style sconces with scrolling gold accents.
And instead of the expected boring ceiling fan above, consider crowning your room with a signature lighting piece. Whether this is a sleek Ikea design, a Japanese-inspired paper lantern creation, or a fabulous vintage thrift store chandelier, dim out the lights and bask under the romantic glow.

Create a room that is full of light and inspiration

Peace and Quiet

For the best quality sleep possible, keep the bedroom an electronics-free zone. Reassign computers, cellphone chargers, and televisions to other rooms to create a sanctuary of uninterrupted quiet. If you can’t do without the TV, keep it tucked away and turned off in an armoire when not in use.
