Three Great Concepts
for Remodeling a Master Bedroom
Since it’s one of the places people spend the most time,
one of the most satisfying home makeovers is the main
bedroom. Here are three ideas for creating a dynamic new
main bedroom space:
The Passion Boudoir
The French have always led the world in designing sexy
bedrooms, and now homemakers all over the world have
followed their lead and begun decorating their bedrooms
for sex and sensuality.
Use emotionally appealing colors that will enhance your
beauty and sensuousness. Be daring; use bold colors.
Examples of seductive colors are rouge or lipstick reds,
creamy peaches, and subtle pink tones.
Prints such as animals or florals can suggest exotic
locales, and mirrors placed in unusual places can
reflect seductive candlelight. Tropic plants add
mystery, and dressing tables filled with feminine
accessories and intimate objects create a romantic mood.
The Reading Room
For many people, the bedroom is a place to lounge and
read a good book. If you're one of those people, you'll
want to create a space that will enhance your reading
pleasure. For instance, adding padded headboards will
make it easy to maintain proper posture while reading.
When painting your reading room, choose soft colors that
reflect light without glare and also support peaceful
feelings. Good colors choices would be old world ivory,
antique amber, sage green, or slate blue.
Soft, pliable pillows, luxurious Afghans or throws,
paintings featuring wide-ranging vistas, and mirrors
will promote private reflection and add feelings of
indulgence. A comfortable lounge chair with a floor lamp
and tea table also work great in a reading room.
Be sure to provide enough light for reading, which can
be done without having to flood the room with harsh
reading lights. You can enhance the overall light by
placing softer lighting throughout the room.
The Private Sanctuary
This type of bedroom, designed to create a place where
you retreat from the world and unwind, provides total
privacy. Display photos of friends, family, and places
you love. Also display meaningful mementos and souvenirs
to remind you of happy times, but don't go overboard and
clutter your calming serenity. Exchanging these personal
keepsakes often with ones in storage helps counter the
clutter and gives added significance when next viewed.
Colors that work well in private sanctuaries include
navy or cobalt blues, deep chocolates, and forest
greens. Darker colors create a womb or cave like feeling
and aid deep sleep.
A writing desk, small refrigerator, and television all
contribute to the feeling of being able to shut out the
world and luxuriate in your own private space, without
interruption.
You spend a great deal of time in your bedroom, so no
matter what type of feeling you're trying to create,
remodeling your main bedroom to reflect your lifestyle
is one of the best projects to undertake.
