Master Bedroom Decorating

The master bedroom could be called the most important room in the house, a retreat for the master of the home, it should be a relaxing place to get away from outside stresses. Many people, however, bring work home and master bedrooms sometimes double as offices or even home gyms. Perhaps it's an American tradition; even the White House bedroom has been used as a living room, sitting room and private office at times.

Master Bedroom Wall Art

When choosing wall art for the master bedroom, look specifically for images that are relaxing or comfortable. Family photos may hamper romance, but a pretty landscape print of a faraway land, a pattern or image that complements the overall decorating theme, or even a framed mirror that reflects the room's architectural beauty can be a good choice.

Another option for master bedroom wall art is decorative molding panels. Paneled walls with molding can create a pattern on the wall, giving definition to the room's shape with a clean look that can be just as attractive as wall art.

Plants in the Master Bedroom

Plants are nature's air purifiers, taking in carbon dioxide while emitting oxygen. According to feng shui expert Carol Olmstead, plants can also activate positive energy in your home or office. In the master bath, a hanging fern can thrive from the steam in the shower, like a tropical rainforest. Consider placing a ficus, real or artificial, in the corner of a room to soften it up and add a tall feature. African violets, with partial sun or northern exposure, can flower for several months.

Master Bedroom Furniture

For some people, master bedrooms are also used as makeshift home offices, exercise rooms, or even excess storage. There are ways to allow these dual purposes without sacrificing beauty.

For home office furniture in the bedroom, choose woods that match your bedroom decor. Using a different color plan, with the intention of separating them creates an environment of discord, and just looks wrong.

Exercise equipment in the bedroom isn't a crime. Consider placing the equipment in a location that you can't see when you're lying in bed.

Creative use of decorative room screens can help ensure that when you're lying in bed and relaxing, your work and fitness routine aren't in view. Additionally, when you're at the desk working, you won't be able to see your sleeping spouse.

If you like having a television or stereo in your room, use a plasma screen television that hangs on the wall like a picture, or use an entertainment center armoire or cabinet, and close it up when you're not using them. This keeps your electronics from being damaged by excessive dust, and looks cleaner and more relaxing.
