Bonjour and welcome to our photo gallery of beautiful master bedrooms decorated by professionals. And as always, sharing “The Little Plus” (“Le Petit Plus”), hope you enjoy…
We, at Art of the Home, believe that everyone is a designer at heart! That’s because a truly inspirational design is born from life experience, love and the internal compass that tells you “yes, I feel good in here.” We all have it. What can happen is that not everyone has the time (and it does take time…) to nurture their interior design garden so to speak. You may have other priorities. You may be on a different timetable, or you enjoy cultivating other interests. Whatever the reason, that’s where a professional interior designer can come in handy and speed up the interior design process. Through asking targeted questions, checking photo examples of what you love and simply talking to you to find out who you are (e.g. what brings you joy, helps you relax and makes you glow), a talented designer will use their designer toolkit and customize a master bedroom that’s the right fit for you.
So whether you are planning to hire an interior designer to bring some joy into your master bedroom or simply want to share design ideas with your significant other and friends, one of the first steps is to gather photos that “wow” you. And don’t cut your dreams short! Sure, you may not be at a place where you can afford the dream bedroom you’ve seen in your favorite magazine, or right here at Art of the Home, but it’s important to include everything that resonates with you in your dream portfolio — it will inform your interior designer as to what you are looking for and then allow them to make helpful recommendations based on your current home and budget. It’s also very neat to see how one’s dream evolves over the years…such fun!
So take a look at what some professionals did in our gallery below of amazing master bedrooms decorated by professionals. And if you want to hire a designer, leave the guilt at the door, it has nothing to do with you not having a good eye, you may just be choosing to use your time elsewhere, and that’s totally ok…good for you! Of course, if you want to start your own designer journey, go for it. Home design is not reserved to interior designers. We all get to play if we want to…it’s free and can be so uplifting. Hope you enjoy the photos and beautiful day to you!
1. Sleeping by the Fire…
The Little Plus: the brick cast iron fire insert with its matching sconces above the mantel. Love the French Provencial writing desk. And the exposed ceiling beams with the hanging chandelier add just the right amount of rustic feel to this cozy room.
2. Room with a View…
The Little Plus: the dark accent wall calls back the metal frame of the full view wall windows. With this view, the designer opted for a minimalist modern design to give this ocean view the honor it deserves. Also, note the whitewashed hardwood floors that soften up the look and call back the sand color of the beach. Vacation feeling guaranteed every day!
3. French Castle Beauty…
The Little Plus: the engraved stone fireplace carved up the tall ceiling is magnificent! And, you can feel how the simplicity of the furniture and the neutral tone of the color palette are just the right choice to showcase the antique terracotta hexagonal tomette. Oh, and did I mention the exquisite vintage candle chandelier, so romantic, wow, just wow!
4. Evening Gallery …
The Little Plus: the dark brown wood accent wall makes the headboard seem larger. You can see how the designer cleverly added spotlights on the artwork to set the mood in the room — what a fantastic idea! Finally, note the rug design and color palette which were both chosen to soften up the room and add a gentle feminine touch.
5. Let There Be Light…
The Little Plus: the stone-faced fireplace and the cathedral ceiling with exposed rustic beams — wow! The showering of natural daylight thru the wall windows illuminates the room without compromising on privacy too much.
6. Far Niente…
The Little Plus: the in-swing French patio doors that with a 360-degree opening so you can fully enjoy the view…and the fresh air! Also, how rich is the assortment of frames and mirrors on the wall — totally lives up to the richness and warmth of the room. And notice how a rustic desk doubles up as a nightstand — perfect to share your daily discoveries and all that is to be grateful for in your journal.
7. Yellow Warmth…
The Little Plus: the three-panel door armoire in a Louis-Philippe style is so beautiful. The iron bed with pale yellow tufted headboard adds a feminine touch of luxury. And note the elegant simple night stands with cabriole legs — not too overwhelming and just enough to store the essentials with style.
8. Tropical Nights…
The Little Plus: the fireplace located in the corner of the bedroom — beautiful and so cozy! And note how the interior designer matched the color of the linens with that of the walls — nice touch. Also, the addition of all the plants adds a nice calming and refreshing feel to this getaway master bedroom.
9. Golden Accents…
The Little Plus: the tufted upholstered headboard in light gray combined with the handmade curtain design gives a romantic touch to this bedroom. The two nightstands, hand painted in a grayish tone with golden trim, brings a royal seal to this master bedroom. And as is always the case with flowers, the addition of the tall white flowering table plant is welcoming and brightens the room.
10. Romantic Simplicity in Mauve and White…
The Little Plus: the coved crown molding makes the ceiling look higher. Super charming white caned bed frame — so shabby chic!
11. Royal Dreams…
The Little Plus: the beautifully carved baroque headboard reigns in this monochrome master bedroom. The antique white vanity with mirror, that doubles as a desk, is very elegant and the Louis XVI chair adds a gentle touch of luxury. Also, notice the white framing on the grey walls and ceilings — great idea to lighten up the room and add flare at the same time.
12. Breakfast on the Balcony…
The Little Plus: the French door to the balcony to soak in the sun and fresh air in the morning — there is nothing like it to start a great day. The wood shutters and white seating area chairs give this room a coastal feel. Love that the bed and nightstands are tucked in a recessed wall.
13. Colors of Provence…
The Little Plus: the warmth of this earth-toned bedroom is so soothing. The chaise longue is in perfect position to enjoy the view and very practical when getting ready.
14. Collection Line Up…
The Little Plus: in this earth-toned master bedroom, the dominant color is dark brown with the brown leather weaved headboard, the dark brown wooden French doors, and sideboards. A lighter color palette is introduced to lighten up the atmosphere with ecru floor-length curtains, an off-white lounging chair and white linens. The frames on the walls have dark matting to bring focus to the art pieces as well as to be in harmony with the dark brown theme of the master bedroom.
15. Tea in Bed…
The Little Plus: the warmly toned boudoir with an unassuming arched entrance to the master bedroom. The shelving offers a nice spot to display favorite photos and items brought back from vacations without darkening the room. Also, love the wood shutters…adds a resort feel.
16. The Joy of a Roaring Fire…
The Little Plus: the leather Louis Philippe bed. The built-in with glass faced doors is as beautiful as it is practical. To add a feminine touch to this masculine bedroom, the interior designer chose a his and hers nightstand and used creamy white colors for the fireplace and bed linens to soften up the mood.
17. Writing your Memoir…
The Little Plus: the tray ceiling makes the room feel larger and welcomes a charming five shade chandelier. The room is large enough to host a colonial desk — perfect to catch up on emails or write your memoir!
18. Cozy and Warm in the Corner…
The Little Plus: the Carrera marble fireplace steals the show. The custom-made mantel and crown molding on top of the marble surround are both beautiful and functional. They welcome a large flat screen TV to watch your favorite show after a long day. Also, notice the gorgeous bay windows that provide plenty of daylight and a lovely spot to enjoy your favorite book or catch up on your Facebook feed.
19. Blue Roses…
The Little Plus: the hand painted shabby chic bench looks like it was found at a French brocante…so lovely! His and hers nightstands break the symmetry — in a good way (too much symmetry can make a bedroom feel like a bland hotel room…).
20. Celestial Nights…
The Little Plus: the two pieces of art on top of the bed frame complement each other in this small modern bedroom. This is a good idea to have a kind of “his and hers” theme on top of the headboard when you have matching nightstands. Also, the faux finish accent wall compliments the natural wood bedroom furniture well.
21. Sleeping Beauty…
The Little Plus: the elegant canopy bed in ecru and sage green is gorgeous. The softness of the color palette is so relaxing. The olive branch design of the flooring contributes to the feeling of peace in this beautiful master bedroom. Also, note the elegant decorative wall moldings — a very sophisticated touch.
22. Bubbly Dreams…
The Little Plus: the headboard combines both modern design elements and functionality. The custom designed shelve allows you to have your favorite books handy and adds visual interest to the room. And check out this modern light fixture hanging at the center of a shallow tray ceiling — how can you not sleep in the clouds?
23. Dreaming in Velvet Pink…
The Little Plus: the caned camelback headboard gives a tropical feel to this room. And notice how the medium brown dresser is used as a nightstand — very good idea. It adds personality to this room not to mention functionality. The front of the bedroom is a bit more feminine with the pink and rose pattern of the comfortable armchair with ottoman.
24. Blue Dreams…
The Little Plus: the small oval window next to the large bedroom window is lovely. With the blue color choice for the walls, you could almost feel like you’re on a cruise looking out the porthole of your cabin. And did you notice that the bed is tucked into an arch alcove? It gives depth to this room and adds character. Also, the transom window brings in the morning sunshine and increases the natural light coming in — always a plus!
