The master bedroom is your sanctuary from the real world; a place you can retreat to at the end of the day. It’s important to create an atmosphere that is warm and comforting while still being functional. How do you strike that balance?

Moving into a new home is the perfect excuse to creating a new look for your bedroom. If you’re at a loss as to how find the balance between function and form, we put together some tips on how you can create a comfortable and stylish master bedroom that’s fit just for you; because it’s more than just a place to sleep.

Establish your bedroom personality

Before hitting Pinterest, sit down and take a moment to figure out how you want your bedroom to feel. Do you want something light and dreamy? Peaceful and serene? Moody and sultry? Cheerful and full of color?

Once you’ve decided on your bedroom personality, take design inspiration from your favorite hotel or room to pull together decorating elements to create a similar feeling in your bedroom.

Select the right paint colors

Your walls are the largest space in your bedroom so you want to make sure you pick the right colors for your space. Paint colors can influence your mood so you’ll want to choose colors that will complement the mood you want in your bedroom. While you can go bold, you’ll probably want to keep colors muted and neutral so they’re calm and happy and the room is a place where you can rest.

Choose appealing lights

Think about the kind of lighting you need and want in your bedroom. Aside from table lamps on nightstands (or attached to both sides of the bed), also consider ceiling lights and floor lamps to add more lighting options. Oftentimes our bedrooms serve multiple purposes: from lounging to watching television to even working, so you will want to make sure your lighting scheme can handle these use cases.

Create a seating area

If space allows, consider creating a seating area in your bedroom. While we usually use our bedrooms to sleep, you may want to just retreat to your room for a few moments of sanity recollection. An easy way to achieve this is to create a seating area so you don’t have to always lounge on your bed. A couple of comfy armchairs or a loveseat is enough to create this secondary lounge space.

Creating a space where you can relax and breathe is very important. We hope these tips will help you create the perfect master bedroom retreat in your new Urban NW home.
