Your Main Bedroom - How Should It look like?

The master bedroom is a personal sanctuary, a very private space for you to carry out relaxed activities, to feel free and informal. 'Wabi Sabi' tenets or the wellresearched modern concept of designing the décor and the furniture mean simplistic, straight line and functional concepts to make the occupant feel elated and at peace. Interior designers and architects have a growing responsibility to create worthily livable space that is psychologically encouraging and satiating. Bedroom demands more understanding of occupant's sensitivities and moods.
For younger and romantic ones a bedroom could be a Passion Boudoir - evocative, enticing bedroom. Flattering colours contribute to personal beauty and
are romantically appealing. Choose seductive colours like rouge red, lipstick reds, creamy peaches, and subtle pinks. Be daring and use bold colours on the walls. Those who desire pure romanticism could select brighter restrains - like sunset pink or orange, morning hues of purple and clear sky blue, tender leaf green and pinkish gray etc.
Luscious fabrics encourage romance. Use silky, velvet, and chenille textures in combination with nubby textures. Use fabrics that remind you of a shared memory. Exotic oriental patterns, paisley prints in brighter but not darker colours, tropical floral etc conjure images of what one has liked as romantic aesthetic. Plain draperies in romantic colours and locating mirrors in unusual places reflecting subtle light would also enhance the ambiance. An intimate bistro table, set with two chairs, invites private conversations. Dressing tables furnished with feminine accessories add mystery and romance to a room. Straightline furniture adorned with linens, and upholstery coordinated with draperies will give the needed contrast to add interest and mobility to the décor along with adding space, while offering comfort and scope for future evolvement.
Bedroom as a reading and hobby room is a choice that many interesting couples prefer. You might consider designing your main bedroom with lounging and reading books in mind.
Eye experts claim that readers need at least two reading lamps of at least 175-200 watts, but that type of lighting would seem quite harsh in a bedroom setting. Instead of individual harsh lights, consider equalizing the overall lighting scheme by adding other less obtrusive lights across the room. Good colours for reading rooms include ivory, amber, sage green, and slate blue. These soft colors reflect light without glare and also support peaceful feelings.
Squishy pillows, luxurious Afghans or throws, landscape paintings with distant horizons, and mirrors for private reflections add feelings of indulgence. A great lounge chair with a floor lamp and nearby tea table completes the additions to a perfect bed and reading room. Let the furniture be functional and minimalist, harmonious or discordant in concept.
Perhaps you may like to turn the main bedroom into a personal retreat, where you can escape and unwind from a busy day. Surround yourself with photos of friends, family, and places you love, as well as your favorite artwork and meaningful mementos. Good colours for private sanctuaries include dark forest greens, deep chocolates, mochas, navy or cobalt blues, and eggplant. Darker colours create a womb-like feeling and aid deep sleep. A writing desk, accompanied by a comfortable chair and a small refrigerator will enable you to enjoy your time without interruption. An entertainment console will offer the opportunity to watch your favourite movies, and listen to your favorite classics. Sofas, rocking chairs, or chaise lounge help create the feeling of an oasis.
To keep the bedrooms clutter free and uncrowded in any décor system what one need are the furniture concepts that are not bulky, overstuffed and functional. If one has space available, he may opt for a walk in the wardrobe, or make custom built wardrobe in the niche. Free-standing wardrobes tend to attract and produce clutters in the room. A chest of drawers is a better solution to arrange your clothing, specially the intimate ones. The countertops, being low in heights, can be used to display interesting objects and would discourage unnecessary storage. Leave your ceilings plain, avoid false ceilings as they reduce the comforting large space. White always remains the ideal colour for ceiling.
With a little imagination, you can turn your bedroom into a room of your interest - a place where you would love to sleep in!
