Creating a Clean, Contemporary Master Bedroom

Are you dreaming of a luxurious contemporary master bedroom in your Carmel The Village apartment?  The clean, neat lines of contemporary style can be used to create a peaceful and relaxing bedroom retreat where you can recharge every night. Contemporary is an extremely versatile decorative style, allowing you to incorporate much of your personality and preferences into the décor of your room.

Add Contrast with Furniture

Metal and wood are two of the most popular furniture materials used in contemporary-style bedrooms. Metallic furniture or hardware speak to the clean lines used in contemporary décor, while wood brings elements of nature and warmth into the space. You can mix and match these two materials to your heart’s desire to create the right amount of contrast for your tastes. Consider choosing an all-wooden bed frame and placing it beside a metallic nightstand or coffee table. Alternatively, wood furniture with metallic accents marry these two themes and can be used throughout the room. Regardless of the type of furniture you choose, remember to select a bureau, bench, or armoire that offers plenty of storage. A contemporary room should not look cluttered, so it’s important to have enough space for all your clothing and other items to keep your bedroom neat and organized.

Soften with Fabrics

The key to utilizing contemporary décor in the bedroom is to soften the clean, flowing lines of your furniture with fabrics. A bedroom is a great place to utilize contemporary design because this space naturally incorporates fabrics into the pillowcases, bedclothes, and curtains. Choose a bedspread that is a single color, then add texture with patterned pillowcases or a throw at the foot of your bed. Even if you don’t want large curtains or shades on your windows, use a valence or drop panels to soften the edges of the window and frame your apartment’s mountain views. If you would like more stylized curtains, don’t hesitate to add them—these features are a great place to bring a softer elegance into your contemporary room. Additionally, consider the benefits of an area rug beside your bed, which will provide a cushioned and comfortable place for your feet each morning while adding additional color and texture to the room.

Add Personal Touches

A contemporary bedroom doesn’t need to be cold or impersonal. Add personal touches to your bedroom such as photos, artwork, statuettes, or souvenirs to create a more inviting, warm space. Plants can also add personality and soften the look of the room as well. While you should aim to keep most of your surfaces clear and clutter to a minimum, a small bookshelf or curio cabinet is the perfect spot to display just a few personal items or collectibles. Alternatively, a decorative serving tray is an excellent place to display one or two small items without tempting you to go overboard.
