As the most private and comfortable space in the home, the master bedroom suite carries the owner's pursuit of a high-quality life and unique yearning for personal space. It is not just a place to sleep, but also a comprehensive space that integrates multiple functions such as rest, relaxation, dressing, and storage. A well-designed master bedroom suite can bring physical and mental pleasure and satisfaction to the residents and improve the quality of the entire home life. This time, I will teach you how to create a master bedroom suite that is comfortable and luxurious from multiple aspects, such as space layout, color matching, material selection, furniture arrangement, lighting design, and detailed decoration.
1. Space layout: functional zoning and traffic line planning
First is the sleeping area. The bed is the core of the sleeping area. Its position should be as far as possible from the door to ensure privacy and security. It is also necessary to consider the space on both sides of the bed to place bedside tables and facilitate daily activities. It is usually more appropriate to leave at least 60cm of space on both sides. The size of the bed should be selected according to the size of the bedroom. For larger master bedroom suites, a large bed of 1.8m or 2m width is usually selected, matched with a comfortable mattress and high-quality bedding to create a warm and comfortable sleeping atmosphere.
The background wall at the head of the bed is the visual focus of the sleeping area. It can be designed in a variety of ways to enhance the beauty and personality of the space (for example, using wooden wall panels to create a natural and warm atmosphere; or using wallpaper, choosing styles with textures or patterns to increase the layering of the wall; you can also paint latex paint and highlight the theme through color matching (such as elegant beige, tranquil blue, etc.) In addition, you can also install wall lamps or decorative paintings on the background wall at the head of the bed to further enrich the visual effect of the space.
The location of the dressing area should be close to natural light sources so that you can get good light when making up. If the master bedroom suite has a large window, you can set the dressing area by the window and use natural light to makeup. The layout of the dressing area should be designed according to the size of the space and personal needs. There are two common types of dressing tables: freestanding dressing tables and built-in dressing tables. Freestanding dressing tables have various shapes and can be moved flexibly, which are suitable for master bedroom suites with larger spaces; while built-in dressing tables can be combined with wardrobes or walls to save space and make the overall layout neater. The dressing table should be equipped with sufficient storage space for cosmetics, jewelry, and other items. Usually, styles with drawers, partitions, or open shelves are selected for easy classification and storage.
The mirror is an important part of the dressing area. Its size and shape should be selected according to the size of the dressing table and personal preferences. Usually, the width of the mirror should be slightly larger than the width of the dressing table to ensure that the face can be fully illuminated. Lighting is also crucial for the dressing area. Choose lamps with uniform light and good color rendering. You can install wall lamps on both sides of the mirror or install mirror lights above the mirror. Avoid shadows on the face to ensure a natural makeup effect. In addition, auxiliary lighting (such as table lamps or floor lamps) can be set up in the dressing area to meet the needs of different scenes.
The wardrobe is the main storage furniture in the master bedroom suite. Its design should fully consider the rationality of the storage space and the convenience of use. The internal structure of the wardrobe should be divided according to the type and quantity of clothing (for example, setting up a hanging area, a stacking area, a drawer area, an underwear area, an accessories area, etc.). The hanging area can be divided into a long clothing area and a short clothing area. The long clothing area is used to hang long clothing, such as coats and dresses, and the short clothing area is used to hang short clothing, such as shirts and jackets. The stacking area can be set up with multi-layer shelves for folded clothing, bedding, etc. The drawer area is generally used to store small items such as underwear, socks, and ties for easy classification and sorting. In addition, accessories such as trouser racks, tie racks, and jewelry boxes can be installed in the wardrobe to improve storage efficiency. The doors of the wardrobe are generally chosen as sliding doors or swing doors. Sliding doors save space, and swing doors have good sealing. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and you can choose according to the actual situation.
In addition to wardrobes, the master bedroom suite can also increase storage space in other ways (for example, set up a drawer-type storage box at the bottom of the bed to store seasonal clothing, shoes and other items; install shelves or hooks on the wall to place books, decorations, bags, hats, etc.; you can also use the space under the bay window to design it into a locker or drawer, which will increase the storage function while not affecting the use of the bay window)
2. Color matching: creating a comfortable atmosphere and personal style
The color matching of the master bedroom suite should be coordinated with the overall decoration style (for example, modern minimalist style generally chooses neutral colors such as white, gray, and black as the main colors to create a simple and clean space atmosphere; while the Nordic style often uses white, beige, and light wood as the main colors, with a small amount of bright colors to embellish, showing a fresh and natural feeling; as for the European style, it prefers warm colors such as gold, brown, and beige, and creates a luxurious and elegant atmosphere through gorgeous decorations and exquisite details)
Usually, the size of the space and lighting conditions will also affect the choice of the main color. For smaller master bedroom suites, choose light-colored main colors (such as white, beige, light blue, etc.). These colors can visually expand the sense of space and make the room appear more spacious and bright; for master bedroom suites with better lighting, you can appropriately choose some dark-colored main colors (such as dark gray, dark brown, etc.) to create a sense of hierarchy and stability through color contrast.
After determining the main color, you can also enrich the color hierarchy of the space through auxiliary colors and decorative colors. Usually the main color accounts for about 60% to 70%, the auxiliary color accounts for about 20% to 30%, and the decorative color accounts for about 10% (for example, for a master bedroom suite with white as the main color, gray is generally selected as the auxiliary color, which is used for soft furnishings such as curtains, carpets, and sofas, and then matched with bright colors such as blue and yellow as decorative colors, and embellished through elements such as pillows, decorative paintings, and green plants to make the space color richer and more vivid)
Pay attention to the balance of coordination and contrast in color matching. Coordination is generally achieved by choosing colors of similar or same color system, making the space look harmonious and unified; contrast is achieved by contrasting warm and cold colors, light and dark colors to increase the visual impact and vitality of the space (for example, in a master bedroom suite dominated by warm colors, a small amount of cold-toned soft furnishings (such as blue pillows, green plants, etc.) can be matched to form a color contrast, making the space more layered)
3. Material selection: dual experience of texture and touch
A wooden floor is one of the common choices for the floor material of the master bedroom suite. It has a natural and warm texture and can add a warm atmosphere to the space. Solid wood flooring has a natural texture and comfortable feel, but the price is relatively high and requires regular maintenance; while composite wood flooring is affordable, wear-resistant and durable, with realistic surface texture and high cost performance; as for solid wood composite flooring, it combines the advantages of solid wood flooring and composite wood flooring, with both the texture of solid wood and good stability and wear resistance. Therefore, when choosing wooden flooring, it is necessary to pay attention to its color and texture, which should match the overall style, while considering environmental protection performance and quality.
Carpets can add a soft and comfortable touch to the bedroom, and also have the functions of sound absorption and warmth. You can lay a large area of carpet around the bed, or place small carpets in the dressing area and leisure area to decorate and divide the space. Carpets are made of wool, chemical fiber, cotton, and linen. Wool carpets are soft and warm, but they are expensive and require professional cleaning; chemical fiber carpets are cheap, wear-resistant, and easy to clean, but the texture is relatively poor; as for cotton and linen carpets, they are breathable, environmentally friendly, and natural, suitable for bedrooms that like simple styles.
Latex paint is a common material for wall decoration, with the advantages of rich colors, convenient construction and affordable prices. Therefore, when choosing latex paint, pay attention to its environmental performance, and usually choose low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) products to ensure indoor air quality. In addition, the appropriate glossiness (such as matte, semi-gloss, glossy, etc.) should be selected according to the function and style of the space. Matte latex paint has a soft texture and is suitable for large-area painting; semi-gloss latex paint has a certain glossiness and good scrub resistance, which is suitable for children's rooms or walls that are easily dirty; as for glossy latex paint, it has a high glossiness and can reflect light, making the space appear brighter, but it is easy to highlight the flaws of the wall, and is usually used for small-area decoration or embellishment.
Wallpaper and wall cloth can bring rich patterns and textures to the wall, increasing the decorativeness and personalization of the space. There are many types of wallpaper, including pure paper wallpaper, non-woven wallpaper, PVC wallpaper, etc. Wallpapers of different materials have different characteristics and are applicable in different scenarios. Pure paper wallpaper is environmentally friendly and natural, with good breathability, but poor water resistance and wear resistance; non-woven wallpaper is soft, breathable, and has certain tensile resistance and mildew resistance; as for PVC wallpaper, it is waterproof and moisture-proof, wear-resistant and durable, but its environmental protection performance is relatively weak. Wall cloth is a wall decoration material made of cloth. It has a softer and more upscale texture and has good sound absorption, heat insulation, mildew resistance, and antibacterial properties. It is suitable for master bedroom suites that pursue high-quality decoration.
Solid wood furniture is deeply loved by people for its natural texture, warm texture, and good durability. In the master bedroom suite, furniture such as solid wood beds, solid wood wardrobes, and solid wood dressing tables can add a natural and rustic atmosphere to the space. Common solid wood materials include oak, walnut, cherry, pine, etc. Solid wood furniture of different materials has different colors, textures and prices (for example, oak furniture has a hard texture, clear texture, good stability and durability; while walnut furniture has a deep color and beautiful texture, showing a noble and elegant temperament; as for cherry furniture, it has a ruddy color and delicate texture, giving people a warm and romantic feeling; pine furniture is affordable and soft in texture, suitable for simple and pastoral style bedrooms)
And board furniture is furniture made of artificial boards (such as particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, multi-layer solid wood board, etc.) Board furniture has the advantages of relatively low price, diverse styles, rich colors, etc., which can meet the needs of different styles and budgets. Therefore, when choosing board furniture, pay attention to its environmental performance, and choose E0 or E1 boards that meet national standards to reduce the release of harmful substances such as formaldehyde. In addition, pay attention to the quality of the board and the quality of the hardware accessories to ensure the service life and safety of the furniture.
4. Furniture arrangement: a balance between practicality and beauty
The style and style of the bed should be consistent with the overall style of the master bedroom suite (for example, modern minimalist style beds usually have simple lines and simple shapes without too much decoration; while European style beds have decorative elements such as gorgeous headboard carvings, exquisite bedposts and bed curtains, showing luxury and romance; as for Chinese style beds, they focus on traditional craftsmanship and cultural connotations, generally using mortise and tenon structures, carvings and other designs, showing a simple and elegant charm) and the height of the bed should also be moderate. Usually, the bed surface is 40 to 50 cm from the ground, which is more suitable for getting on and off the bed.
The bedside table is the best partner for the bed. It can not only place table lamps, alarm clocks, books, and other items, but also play a role in decoration and balancing the space. The style and material of the bedside table should match the bed. You can choose products from the same series as the bed, or choose styles with contrasting effects to increase the sense of hierarchy in the space. The size of the bedside table should be selected according to the size of the bed and the actual space. The width is usually between 40 and 60 cm, and the height is flush with the bed surface or slightly lower than the bed surface. In addition, you can also place some decorations (such as photo frames, vases, aromatherapy, etc.) on the bedside table to enhance the warmth and personalization of the space.
The design of the dressing table should take into account the convenience of use and storage function. The width of the tabletop should be sufficient to place cosmetics and dressing supplies, usually between 60 and 80 cm; the height of the tabletop should be determined according to the height of the user, usually between 70 and 80 cm, to ensure comfort during use. The mirror of the dressing table should be selected with a magnifying function to facilitate observation of details when applying makeup. In addition, the drawers and partitions of the dressing table should be reasonably designed to facilitate the classification and storage of various items. The material and color of the dressing table should be coordinated with the overall style of the master bedroom suite. You can choose materials such as solid wood, board, and metal. The color can echo with furniture such as beds and wardrobes, or you can choose colors with contrasting effects to highlight the characteristics of the dressing area.
The choice of a dressing chair should not only consider comfort, but also pay attention to the matching with the dressing table. You can choose a dressing chair with the same material and color as the dressing table to maintain the consistency of the overall style; you can also choose a distinctive dressing chair (such as a cushioned chair, a stool with a backrest, etc.) to add comfort and personality to the dressing area. The height of the dressing chair should match the height of the dressing table. Usually, the chair surface is 40 to 50 cm from the ground, which is convenient for users to sit down and stand up.
If the master bedroom suite has enough space, you can also set up a leisure area with a comfortable sofa and a small coffee table for the owner to rest, read, drink tea, etc. The style of the sofa is generally a single sofa, a double sofa, or a chaise longue, etc., which should be determined according to the size of the space and personal preferences. The material of the sofa is generally fabric, leather, or imitation leather. Fabric sofas are soft and comfortable, with a variety of styles, suitable for warm and casual styles; while leather sofas are high-end and easy to clean, suitable for modern, simple, or European styles. As for the size and shape of the coffee table, it should match the sofa. You can choose coffee tables of different shapes, such as square, round, and oval. The materials are generally glass, metal, wood, etc., to increase the layering and texture of the space.
In addition to the sofa and coffee table, you can also place a leisure chair and a side table in the leisure area to create a more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The leisure chair can be a rocking chair, hanging chair, lazy sofa, or other styles, according to personal preferences and space style. The side table can be used to place books, magazines, tea cups, and other items. Its material and color can echo the leisure chair, or you can choose a style with a contrasting effect to increase visual interest.
5. Lighting design: create a warm and comfortable light environment
Chandeliers are one of the common choices for the main lighting of the master bedroom suite. It not only provides sufficient light, but also plays a role in decorating the space. The style and design of the chandelier should match the overall style of the master bedroom suite (for a modern minimalist master bedroom suite, you can choose a chandelier with simple shapes and smooth lines; for a European-style master bedroom suite, you can choose a crystal chandelier or a chandelier with gorgeous decorations; for a Chinese-style master bedroom suite, you can choose a chandelier with traditional elements). The installation position of the chandelier should be determined according to the position of the bed and the layout of the space. It is usually installed directly above the bed or above the end of the bed. The height from the ground should be adjusted according to the room's floor height and the style of the chandelier, usually between 2.2 and 2.5m, to ensure that the light can be evenly illuminated throughout the room.
The ceiling lamp is also one of the commonly used lamps for the main lighting of the master bedroom suite. It is easy to install, does not take up space, and is suitable for rooms with low floor heights. Ceiling lamps come in a variety of styles, including round, square, oval, and other shapes. There is also a variety of colors and materials to choose from. Choose according to the style of the master bedroom suite and personal preferences. The power of the ceiling lamp should be determined according to the area of the room. Usually, 5 to 10 watts of lighting power is required per square meter to ensure sufficient brightness. In addition, you can also choose a ceiling lamp with a dimming function to adjust the brightness of the light according to different scenes and needs to create a comfortable lighting environment.
Wall lamps are one of the important lamps for auxiliary lighting in the master bedroom suite. They can be installed on both sides of the bedside, both sides of the dressing area, corridors, etc. to provide local lighting and decorative effects (for example, bedside wall lamps can provide soft light for reading before bed, and can also increase the layering and beauty of the bedside background wall; while the dressing area wall lamps can provide uniform, shadowless light for makeup; as for the corridor wall lamps, they can play a guiding and decorative role, increasing the warmth and sense of security of the space). The style and color of the wall lamp should be coordinated with the overall style of the master bedroom suite. Generally, simple modern wall lamps, gorgeous European wall lamps, and simple Chinese wall lamps are selected.
Table lamps are a flexible and convenient auxiliary lighting fixture, usually placed on bedside tables, dressing tables, desks, etc., to provide local lighting and atmosphere lighting. Table lamps come in a variety of styles and materials (such as fabric table lamps, metal table lamps, ceramic table lamps, etc.) and can be selected according to different usage scenarios and personal preferences (for example, the table lamp on the bedside table should be simple in shape and soft in light, which is convenient for night use; the table lamp on the dressing table should be of good color rendering to ensure the makeup effect; as for the table lamp on the desk, choose a style with adjustable angle and brightness to meet the needs of reading and work)
As for floor lamps, they can be placed in the corners of the bedroom, next to the sofa, at the end of the bed, etc., to provide soft indirect lighting and create a warm and romantic atmosphere. Floor lamps come in a variety of styles (such as floor lamps, projection lamps, etc.). Floor lamps can be selected to match furniture such as sofas and coffee tables; projection lamps can be installed on the wall or the ground to create a unique light and shadow effect through the projection of light. The light of floor lamps is usually softer and will not produce a glaring feeling, which can create a comfortable resting environment at night.
Light strips are a type of hidden lighting fixture that can be installed in suspended ceilings, wardrobes, bedside background walls, etc., creating a soft and uniform lighting effect through the reflection and refraction of light. The colors of light strips include white, warm white, and color, and should be selected according to different scenes and needs (for example, installing white light strips around the suspended ceiling can increase the layering and three-dimensional sense of space; installing warm white light strips inside the wardrobe can facilitate finding clothes; installing colored light strips on the bedside background wall can create a romantic and warm atmosphere). The installation methods of light strips are embedded and surface-mounted. Embedded light strips need to reserve installation positions during decoration, while surface-mounted light strips can be directly installed on the surface, which is easy to install.
The night light is a lamp designed specifically for night use. It can provide weak light to facilitate the owner to get up at night, go to the toilet, and other activities without affecting sleep. There are many types of night lights, such as plug-in, rechargeable, and induction. You should choose according to your actual needs (for example, plug-in night lights need to be connected to a power source and are usually installed near a socket; rechargeable night lights can be placed anywhere and are easy to use, but they need to be charged regularly; as for induction night lights, they can be automatically turned on and off by human body induction, which is more intelligent and energy-saving). The light of night lights is usually warm yellow.
Suggestion: The design of the master bedroom suite needs to comprehensively consider space, color, material, furniture, lighting, details, and other aspects to create a private space that is fully functional, comfortable, and beautiful, and meets personal living habits and aesthetic needs. During the design process, you should fully communicate with the designer, make reasonable plans and a layout according to the actual situation, and ensure that every detail can meet your needs and expectations.
