Key elements to create a master retreat room

When decorating a master bedroom in your house, you want to incorporate few key elements that sets a tone for your room. If you are looking to design a room with a spa-like feel, check out the rules to follow:

Rule 1: Light paint/wallpaper

We went with "Blue Sky" Kelly Moore wall paint and "Spa Grey" for the ceiling in our master suite. I like how the colors contrast in a daylight, while at night, the room transforms to a lush retreat my hubby and I aimed for.

Rule 2: Soft lighting
Keep your light soft by selecting lighting fixtures that will create a pattern reflection on a ceiling. Chandelier guarantee to set the right mood in the room, and will make it look and feel luxurious. For rooms with 8 feet tall ceiling, you can find semi-flush chandelier lighting options these days. If you are working on the budget, the cost of flush and semi-flush chandeliers starts at $600 and if having the most Fab lighting fixture is not your priority, then you may consider other gorgeous lighting options to add to your room. My husband and I set a budget of $400 for the master room overhead lighting and allocating most of our budget for the bed frame.

We did consider the following options:

Option 1, Option 2, Option 3

Rule 3: Soft material bedding
Choose bedding with comfort and style in mind. It has to compliment the look and feel you are going for: for relaxing rooms select soft colors and discrete patters in complimenting colors; to add a bit of drama to your otherwise "bland" room, go for big patterns and NOT bright colors.

Rule 4: Pillows and more pillows
You can never have too many pillows in your bedroom. The minimum number of decorative pillows should be 3, but the standard number designers use is 5. To look like you have put much effort into your design, go for different pillow shapes and sizes, that will add dimension to your overall room design.

Rule 5: Candles
Add a candle to your room and adjacent bathroom. It is amazing how your room will immediately transform to a relaxing retreat!
