It is important when you are decorating your master bedroom that you keep a few things in mind. You need to pick one particular theme and stick with it. You also need to make sure that the colors that you choose coordinate well. You should also decide if you have enough storage space in your master bedroom.
When choosing a theme, go with something that reflects who you are. If you love everything Oriental then you might want to go with an Asian themed master bedroom. If you enjoy traveling around the world then maybe you should consider a theme with globes, maps and suitcases. Maybe you have simpler tastes such as flowers or animals? Your master suite should be about you and the things that you love. Don't be afraid to let your imagination run a little wild.
Often times in the paint department at your local hardware store you will find a verity of color pallets. Pick one that you really love. Remember you will be looking at this color every day! You may want to pick a paint color that matches one of the accent colors in your rug. Or perhaps there is a color in your bedspread that you are particularly fond of. Picking up one or two accent colors can really make your room stand out.
Think about the colors that you want to use for your bed linens and window treatments as well. White linen looks beautiful against light blue or lavender walls. Yellow linens are the perfect accent for red walls. Make sure that your colors flow nicely, but don't be afraid to incorporate the colors that you love.
You also need to think about the storage space in your room. If you look around and see that you have a lot of clutter then you may want to consider some creative ways to store your items. Shelves are cheap and easy to make if you are handy. This will get your items up off of your furniture and will make your room appear less cluttered. If you have a lot of clothing laying around your room perhaps you should buy an extra chest of drawers. You can get racks for the back of closet door at a decent price as well. These can be helpful to store shoes, and accessories!
You master bedroom should feel like your own personal paradise. It should be a place where you can get away from it all and unwind from a rough day on the job. Remember to make it all about you and the things that you love!
If you share your master suite with a loved one consider placing items that remind you of fun times you had together in your room. It could be a photograph of your wedding day or a memento from your first date. Think of the things that reflect who you are as individuals, as well as a couple. Remember to make your master bedroom a place that you will enjoy for years to come.
