A master bedroom is a space where you unwind fully at the end of the day, sleep deeply and comfortably and wake feeling well rested. It’s a room where you can close out the rest of the world and relax with a good book or with your loved one. This article brings together five of our favourite master bedroom ideas.
Colour Scheme
The colour of your bedroom can vastly alter the mood of the space, whether it’s serene sunny white, or rich, moody blue. Pale colours can enhance existing light and space, while bolder colours can create a brightness all of their own and an indulgent, enveloping effect. If you don’t want to commit to strong colours on the walls, you can always go for something pale and understated, and warm it up with patterned textiles – curtains, cushions and bedspreads.

Bedroom Blinds
Window blinds play a significant role in the bedroom by blocking external light to create a relaxing haven. Standard roller blinds offer the most window coverage, while custom-made fabrics allow you to block out around 90% of natural light. In order to get the most restorative and deepest sleep, blackout blinds are the best option on the market.

Dual Window Coverings
Another way to effectively manage light and style is to choose dual-window coverings. This is when you use two different window blinds installed parallel to each other, which allow you to manage light and privacy. The most popular way to incorporate this in your master bedroom is by pairing full-length curtains and roller blinds. On your windows, select a sheer or voile roller blind. This will allow you to draw back the curtains when you want extra light without compromising on privacy and keeping glare at bay too. If you choose high-quality blackout fabric for your curtains and hang them outside your window recess, you’ll achieve even better light control.

Luxurious soft furnishings
If there’s one thing that your master bedroom must be, it’s comfortable. You want to create a cosy and opulent space that invites you in during the evenings.
Before choosing your bedding, consider the climate you live in and how you feel most comfortable sleeping. Depending on the time of year, you’ll likely want bedding that breathes and keeps you cool in the summer, and in the chill of the winter you’ll want something to snuggle down into – something that envelopes your body. If you have sensitive skin, you may prefer natural fabrics such as silk or bamboo.
When choosing duvets, the two most popular choices are hollow fibre, feather and down. For pillows, choose a fabric that suits your sleeping type and make sure to try them before you make a purchase.
Accessories such as scatter cushions or throws add additional colour and texture. Think velvets, silk or linen with patterns that bring your home together.

Bedroom Rugs
A soft and inviting rug is the perfect addition to your bedroom. Rugs are a visual way of defining zones in your bedroom clearly identifying the sleeping area away from the dressing zone. If you live in an older building, a rug will help to muffle the sound of you moving around the space and will offer warmth too. We recommend choosing a wool rug for ultimate softness and durability.
