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.
