I don’t know about you, but often times my master bedroom is the last place to get my devoted attention. I spend a lot of time making sure the common areas like the kitchen, living room and entry and decorated, but the master I kind of put on the back burner. It really doesn’t make sense to do this, because the master should be your happy place after a long day at work or running kids around. It should be relaxing, since this is the place that you rejuvenate yourself for the next day.
Here are few ways we can get our master bedrooms up to par with the rest of the home:
• Painting will immediately change the look of any room. A warm grey or beige are great because they are neutral, warm and calming.
• Changing your bedding also makes a big impact. A year or so ago, I changed my bedding to a solid gray. I love it because I can change out the pillows to match the season. It really updated and warmed up the room.
• If you are feeling ambitious, paint your furniture. Painting it all white will freshen up the look while giving an updated farmhouse vibe.
• If you have hard surface flooring, adding a rug makes the room cozy and inviting. Even if you have carpet, try layering a rug on top.
• Drape a coordinating throw blanket on a siting chair or across the end of the bed to make it feel as if you could curl up with a good book.
• Changing lamps will also give a room a big change.
If you’re not ready to make the changes all at once, start small and do a little at a time. Decorate your bedroom for you. After all, it is YOUR happy place!
