Find Inspiration

When designing a master bedroom, or any room for that matter, it is important to find inspiration for the color scheme and design.  In a bedroom, a great place to find inspiration is with the bedding. Quilts, duvets and comforters are plum full of color, texture, and pattern. From these elements homeowners can easily find a color and design scheme for the entire space.

Gray and yellow is the hot color scheme trending right now in the design world. Especially popular in nurseries, gray and yellow can also be used in a master bedroom! Soft and warm, gray and yellow tones provide a comforting feel in any space.

Accessorize

In a master bedroom, the bed is usually the focal point. That is why the bedding can serve as a sounding board for the rest of the room design with its color and pattern. Once the bedding is found, accessories and accent pieces can be added to the space.

In using the gray and yellow bedding as an example, there are several colors that can be used in the room’s accent décor.  Pulling from the pops of white in the comforter and using white pieces of room décor will really give the space a dramatic appeal. White lamp shades and artwork hung in white picture frames will coordinate nicely with the bedding and provide the space with interest and depth.

Window Treatments

Second to the bed in terms of focal points are the windows.  Often times left forgotten, the windows are such an important element to the design and décor of any interior space. Simply updating the window treatments can instantly give the room a brand new look and feel.

When choosing treatments for any window, two important elements must be considered; function and aesthetics. Is the purpose of the window treatment to provide complete privacy? Should the window treatment allow for natural sunlight to enter the space, or are blackout panels needed.

In addition, when choosing treatments for the windows in a room, consideration should be given as to how the treatments will coordinate with the rest of the space.  The color, pattern, and design of the material used should flow nicely with the rest of the room design.  The window treatments should serve as additional focal points and coordinating accent décor in the space.
