Creating a Designer Master Bedroom

Your master bedroom is one of the most important rooms in your apartment. This peaceful retreat should be a place where you feel comfortable and relaxed, providing the perfect setting for you to get a restful night’s sleep. Regardless of your bedroom budget, there are many ways you can create a luxurious designer master bedroom in your Wahiawa apartment home.

Linens
The best place to begin designing your ideal master bedroom is the bed. A comfortable bed sets the stage for higher-quality sleep while also acting as a stylistic anchor for the rest of the room. Choose good quality sheets for your bed—they’ll be worth it—and make sure you have a bedcover that is light or heavy enough for you to sleep comfortably, depending on the season. Wash your sheets regularly (most experts suggest at least once a month, if not more often) and replace them entirely when they become worn to keep your bed looking beautiful and feeling clean and comfortable. Pillows should be washed twice a year and fluffed in the dryer on air cycle or low heat. With regular washing, pillows can last ten years or more, but don’t hesitate to replace them if they’re getting thin, worn, or otherwise uncomfortable.

Lighting
Proper lighting can transform your bedroom into a functional and relaxing space. Start by ensuring the room has enough ambient light so you can complete tasks such as getting ready for bed or getting dressed in the morning comfortably. Place lamps in areas where they will do the most good, such as in corners or near walls where light will be reflected back into the room, making this space feel warmer and more inviting. Although you’ll want to ensure the room has sufficient lighting, consider using bulbs of slightly lower wattage than those in the living areas of your apartment. Studies have found that getting ready for bed in a lower-light environment can help your body and mind wind down for higher-quality sleep. If you like to read in bed, make sure you have a focused light source near your bed, such as a lamp placed on a nightstand, to avoid eye strain. Similarly, any work or task areas in the room, such as a desk or reading nook, should also have dedicated lighting for comfort and convenience.

Décor
Although you may not spend much time in your bedroom, there is no reason to leave this area of your apartment lacking in décor. Some of the easiest and most popular decorative elements for the bedroom include rugs, artwork, plants, and lights. Tying artwork and rugs in with the color scheme or pattern of your linens will make this room feel more like a completed whole, while plants bring a softer element of nature into this relaxing space. Lighting and lamps can be used for decorative purposes as well as functional ones—consider using string lights or hanging lanterns for an additional soft glow that adds whimsy and personality to your master bedroom.
