How To Redefine the Master Bedroom

Create a Place to Unwind

Add elegance to a space by placing an armchair in the corner of a bedroom, and complete it with a matching throw pillow. Throw pillows offer the perfect opportunity for a pop of color, from shiny, burnt orange to textured, mint blue. If there is space to do so, homeowners may even choose to recreate a living area in their master suite — complete with a full-size couch, coffee table and fireplace.

Merging warm colors with comforting textures, this master suite — located within Harford Manor, a 40-acre estate near Windsor, Berkshire — exemplifies a luxury lifestyle without sacrificing that “homey” feel.

Design with Self Care in Mind

Whether it’s with a spa-like bathtub, refreshing rain shower or relaxing sauna, master baths are all about embracing luxury in 2018. As self-care increasingly becomes a priority, homeowners are spending nearly just as much time in their bathrooms as their bedrooms. In turn, the bathroom is becoming a higher priority among interior designers — with new additions including faux greenery, backlit mirrors and creative storage.

Get Creative with Storage

Complete with sleek coat hooks and organized cubbies for boots and pocketbooks, this walk-in closet merges the need for storage with stylish design. Using orange accents, modern lighting and neutral colors, this space is about more than just function. With bright lighting and ample seating space, designers are redefining the closet — transforming them from a functional storage area into a stylish place to spend time.
