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.
