The master bedroom is a retreat from the world, the kids, the dogs, your career, your daily commute, and stress. It is a place where you and your partner can relax and unwind. Without a doubt, out of all the areas of the home, the master bedroom is the most personal area. If you want to learn how to create a relaxing and sexy boudoir then please continue reading.
The Importance of the Master Bedroom’s Design
Your bedroom’s design is about more than chilling a bottle of Dom Perignon on the nightstand, lighting a few candles, and sprinkling the duvet with rose petals. You always want there to be a certain ambiance in the bedroom. It is a place to feel relaxed, romantic and loved.
It’s All About the Lighting
You will want soft diffused lighting that is layered to create shimmer combined with sensuous textures. A bit of bold geometry in the room is also a nice touch.
Velvet Throw Pillows
You are shaking your head over this idea, but velvet is sexy. On the iconic sitcom Seinfeld, one of the main characters George went on about velvet sex appeal and how he wanted to wrap his entire body in the luxurious material. Without a doubt, a few velvet throw pillows really do help set the mood.
Don’t Overlook Candles
Candles give an exceptionally soft glow that most people associate with romance. However, lighting a few candles on the nightstand or dresser is not ideal. Instead, you should invest in wall sconces that truly set the look and feel. You might even be swept back in time a few centuries.
It is All About Layers and Textures
There is something sensual about texture and layers. Wall texture is fabulous and so are area rugs…especially those that you can sink your toes into! Try a luxurious sheepskin or cashmere rug from AZADI Fine Rugs. Your pillows and bedding should complement each other while offering opposing textures.
Do Not “Over” Pillow the Bed
As mentioned above, a couple of velvet throw pillows combined with your standard bed pillows is enough. You do not want to “over pillow” the space or you will feel like there is no room left on the bed for the two of you. Men also often find too many pillows daunting. They don’t know what to do with them all. You certainly don’t want to waste precious time removing all the pillows from the bed to store in the bedside chest.
Make the Walls Shimmer
If you are serious about redesigning your bedroom, then how about a Venetian finish on your walls so that they shimmer? This is an impressive option that is sure to set the mood. The upscale Blakes Hotel in London features metallic silver walls that have become iconic.
Luxury Bedding
The time you spend in bed should be filled with sensations that are pleasing. Investing in luxury bedding is the best way to truly create a sultry atmosphere that is memorable. At the end of a long day, you will look forward to climbing into bed with your partner.
Adorn the Walls with Wallpaper
You might be balking at this idea because you think that wallpaper is ‘out’ but that is simply not true. There is always going to be a place for fashionable wallpaper. In the bedroom, hang dimensional wallpaper to add depth, color, and contrast to the room. Even Kourtney Kardashian used wallpaper in her bedroom to create a stunning effect.
Abstain from Electronics
Do not take your cellphone or computer to bed. Also, avoid placing a television in your bedroom. Undoubtedly, the ‘no-tv’ rule is more than some people can handle so if you simply must have a television in the room then you need to hide it in a wall cabinet and only turn it on occasionally. Truly, nothing kills the romance like having the television running in the background.

Rugs today: The history of rug making is long and diverse. Many people adore an antique rug because of the story that it illustrates. Some prefer the modern look of Contemporary Tibetan rugs. Today, there are so many choices available for area rugs. When purchasing a hand-woven area rug, you must consider the quality. This is based on 3 things:
- The quality of the wool used: New Zealand wool and Turkish wool are considered the highest quality wools. Did you know that the most prized wool comes from sheep that are shorn in the springtime because they are fed fresh grass, which produces softer wool? Sheep shorn in the winter are fed dry grass, which produces dry wool that is coarse feeling.
- The quality of the dyes used: All natural vegetal dyes are proven to stand the test of time as they have been used for thousands of years. Their colors are derived from many items found in nature. Some examples of naturally derived dyes are; Indigo, which grows wild and is cultivated in the Near East, is the primary source for the color blue and red, which comes from the root of the madder plant.
- The quality of the workmanship: The quality of the workmanship depends on the experience of the weaver (i.e. the length of time he/she has been weaving rugs). Remember, this is art, created by a talented artisan, whose craft may have been passed down from generation to generation. These artisans use their expertise to weave rugs to enhance our mood by color, pattern, and shape from an architectural point of view.
