Soft Color in the Bedroom

October 31, 2013 By creatingyourspace Leave a Comment

10963164_SThe bedroom should be a place to restore our spirits as well as our bodies. For this reason, soft colors in the bedroom are a wonderful choice to create a calm and soothing space. Bold colors and bright whites might be too intense or jarring to greet you first thing in the morning. Deep dark colors create a cocoon effect that is wonderful at night, but might make it difficult to wake up in the morning.

This bedroom has a soft color palette that is layered with color, pattern and texture. The wall is covered in a pattern that is subtle enough not to overwhelm the space and bold enough to add depth to the room.  The headboard is a lighter color so it becomes the focal point of the room.  Even the desk nightstand is a light cream shade that works with both the wall and bed colors.  Layers of soft colored linens create an inviting and cozy look to the bed.

Using a color similar to the wall color on the floor will envelope the room in soothing, soft color.  A deeper tone wood floor would make the space feel warmer and cozier.  A lighter carpet or wood floor would open up the space and make it feel airy.  The floor could be layered with an area rug that ties in with the pattern on the wall.

This bedroom has an open feeling thanks to the gorgeous natural lighting from the windows.  Placing a standard ceiling fixture with a chandelier will also create a softer light as well as add a touch of glamour when the sun goes down.

Master Suite Sitting Areas

July 19, 2012 By creatingyourspace Leave a Comment

New home construction and remodels often feature large master bedrooms with en suite bathrooms.  After placing a king size bed, a pair of nightstands and a dresser, there can can be a great deal of floor space leftover in the room.  What can you do with extra the space?

There are several options on what to do with this extra space in a master suite.  One option, is adding an enjoyable seating area.  After all, a master suite should be a getaway from the demands of everyday life. Creating a calm, relaxing space for you to unwind and escape, the master suite can be your private oasis. Carving out a seating area with a sofa or pair of chairs allows you a place to read a book, take a nap, or just hang out away from all of the hustle and bustle.

This master bedroom suite is a nice example of a large space that is divided into a sleeping zone and a seating area.  The bed is off to the right of the frame, with a seating area in front of the window and closer to the fireplace. The fireplace is a great focal point in this master bedroom.

Different zones in the master bedroom can be identified with area rugs. A large area rug could be placed under the bed and a coordinating or matching rug by the seating area.
