Designer Master Bedroom - Bedroom Ideas

Set In Stone

For the bedroom, Sue went for a monochrome palette peppered with red. She wanted to stick to her colour scheme, so featured a few solid and antique glass pieces rather than bringing in different tones. Everything in the room was chosen to take advantage of the space. There are several areas for relaxation and surfaces for resting books, glassware and other items.

The modern furnishings in this room enhance its historical features: the traditional marble mantelpiece displays a pared-back wooden mirror that opens up the space, along with high, coved ceilings and large windows which offer an abundance of natural light. Calming blue, white and cream tones are used, with the coffee table, lighting and trinket bowls bringing in a dash of gold for contemporary opulence.

Master Pieces

The decadent combination of black and gold is hard to top. The dark walls and furniture in this bedroom draw your attention to the intricate detailing in the screen, table lamp and hand-painted Chinoiserie cabinet.

The bedroom is a reasonable size but it has low ceilings, so Lucinda added a tall headboard to give the illusion of height, as well as multiple mirrors. She kept the colour palette neutral but added sparks of fun with a leopard print throw and faux tortoiseshell mirrors.

Après Dark

The dark chalet bedroom is all about dramatic decadence. A simple headboard was covered in luxurious charcoal velvet, then flanked with black column lamps paired on grey faux shagreen sideboards to give the space a moody, masculine feel. Comfort has not been forgotten either; tactile pieces such as velvet cushions and woollen throws, provide much-needed warmth and softness.

Loft and Found

To designate an area for the bedroom, huge swathes of fabric were hung over the rafters. The curtains separate the space in a dramatic way, but, as they are almost sheer, have no impact on the vast quantity of natural light that the loft benefits from. With such high ceilings, a four-poster bed was a must, and a large rug was introduced to bring an essential warming layer to the wooden floor.

Woven in Nature

Creating a cohesive look was especially important to Annabel. She wanted each room to be unique, but very much part of a whole concept, so she specifically included wood and rattan in several rooms. In the bedroom, the headboard, top of the chests of drawers and the back and sides of the chair are all rattan. The bedroom, in particular, had to feel very inviting, which Annabel achieved with warm oranges and browns, luxurious velvet cushions and dashes of gold. With matching chests and lamps, the room is near perfectly balanced too, which enhances the serene atmosphere.

By Georg(ian)

One of the first things you notice about this Asian-style bedroom is its sense of balance: each side is a near-perfect mirror image of the other. The use of symmetry not only makes the look feel sophisticated, but also has a calming effect – exactly what you need in a bedroom. Sue made the most of her Georgian home’s high ceilings by including a magnificent four-poster fit for an emperor.
