Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to refresh your current setup, these tips will guide you in designing a master bedroom that truly feels like your own personal retreat.
Dos:
Do invest in good quality bedding:
Choose high-quality sheets, pillows and a mattress to ensure a comfortable night’s sleep. Not only does good bedding contribute to a better sleep but it also enhances the overall aesthetic of the room.
Do incorporate a neutral palette:
Calm neutral colours like soft whites, greys, and beiges for walls and large furniture create a serene atmosphere to optimise relaxation.
Do layer lighting:
Use a combination of ambient and accent lighting to create a cosy environment. Bedside lamps and dimmable lights allow you to cater to your varying moods and activities. We recommend warm-toned lighting as it encourages healthy sleep and deep relaxation.

Do add personal touches:
Whilst a neutral base palette is recommended for your master bedroom, remember that it’s important to add touches of your favourite colours, items and memorabilia. Family photos, artwork and your favourite décor make the space uniquely yours.

Do consider storage:
Walk-in robes may not be an option for everyone, but the integration of efficient storage like dressers and nightstands help to keep your bedroom tidy. Multi-functional furniture – including a high bedframe for under-mattress storage – is sure to maximise your space.
Don’ts:
Don’t overcrowd the space:
Avoid filling the bedroom with too much furniture. This can make the space feel cramped and chaotic. Remember, keep it simple.
Don’t ignore proportions:
Oversized pieces can overwhelm the space whilst undersized items can make it feel unfinished. Choose furniture that aligns with the measurements of your main bedroom.
Don’t neglect window styling:
Don’t overlook the importance of curtains and blinds. Depending on your vibe, the right window finishes can add softness to the room, provide privacy, and allow you to control natural light.
Don’t follow trends blindly:
Avoid decorating your room in a ‘trend’ that isn’t aligned with your personal style. Opt for timeless pieces that you know you’ll love long-term.

Don’t use harsh lighting:
Don’t rely on harsh direct lighting. Avoid harsh LED downlights and opt for softer lamps, beside lighting and other diffused sources of light.
When styling your master bedroom, it’s important to ensure you create a space that oozes rest, relaxation and personal expression. By following these essential tips, you can transform your bedroom into a visually appealing sanctuary.

Choosing a new bed or mattress can be surprisingly confusing with all the different size names like Queen, King, California King, Full, Twin XL, etc! If you want to make an informed decision, it’s super helpful to look at Bed Sizes and Mattress Dimensions laid out clearly. Seeing the exact width and length measurements side-by-side helps you visualize how much space each size actually offers and whether it will fit comfortably in your room. It can save you from a costly mistake of buying a bed that's too big or too small for your needs.
Knowing how to choose the right size bed is crucial for a good night's sleep and a well-proportioned bedroom. Factors to consider include your height, whether you sleep alone or with a partner, how much you move around, and the size of your room. Online guides and dimension charts can help you weigh these factors against the actual measurements of different bed sizes like Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and Cal King. This information empowers you to select a bed that perfectly matches your comfort and spatial needs.
