The bedroom is that spot where you’re supposed to unwind after a long day at work or in school. But if this space has become more of a stress than a place of relaxation lately, then it’s high time to set it up for an upgrade. Welcome to your master bedroom decorating guide.

Not a lot of people spend a lot of time decorating their bedrooms. These are rooms, after all, that are not seen by visitors, hence, they often end up neglecting them.

Rest and Relax

Okay, in creating a more restful master bedroom, you have to go back to the basics. Ask yourself – what is this room for?

Of course to rest and relax! Since this is supposed to be a place for a retreat, you have to bring in the elements that make it so. Jars and baskets of essential oils, soaps, bubble baths, etc.

Create an Accent Wall

The accent wall is that differently-colored wall in a space. This is an effective way to liven up space, though, you have to be extra careful in choosing the color that you paint it with. If you’re gearing to have a warm color, then use shades of red, orange or yellow. These colors tend to pull the beholder’s eyes towards that accent wall.

A perfect wall to use a warm accent color on is that long, narrow bedroom wall. Painting this space offers a more balanced look.

As for the cool color enthusiasts, you should look into blues, greens, and the lighter tints of purple. These tend to pull the away the attention, thus, making a room appear larger. When you use a cool color as an accent wall in a small bedroom, then you make it appear larger. This cool color will also give the impression that you actually have a higher ceiling.

Using a bedroom accent wall is also being ready to define the visual temperature in your room of relaxation. The east or north facing bedroom should use warm hues since they tend to appear cooler. As for the south or west facing rooms, these should be painted with a cool hue in order to lower the visual temperature.

Install an Accent Rug

So now, how do you choose the area rug that will help define your bedroom? The general rules are simple –

First, the area rug must not touch any of the bedroom walls. Leave five inches between the area rug’s edges from the wall.
An area rug must never push against any of the large pieces of furniture inside the bedroom such as the bed, the wardrobe or a drawer.
If you have to choose an area rug for a tiny bedroom, then don’t go shopping for an equally tiny one. Instead, find a large area rug that will almost fill up the space leaving just a few inches that are bare.
The area rug must not be at a location where the bedroom door swings. If there’s no way around it, then the bedroom door should be high enough to not drag the rug.

Add ‘Em Candles

Don’t forget to bring in those romantic candles. What could be more relaxing than to look at these flickering lights once you dim the other lights?

The candles are a wonderful addition because of their aromatic benefits. The most relaxing fragrances include vanilla, lavender, and chamomile.

Create a Gallery Wall

The gallery wall is often set up in a living room but never in a bedroom. Why not create one in the master bedroom for a change?

Choose artwork, photos or abstract pieces which you can gather to create that master bedroom gallery wall.
