4 Must-Haves in a Modern Master Bedroom

The bedroom is no longer just a room for retiring to at night to go to sleep; it can now be an escape haven. Our hectic, contemporary lives are such that we are time-poor, forever running around, attending to the needs of others and acting as taxi drivers on weekends, ferrying kids from one sport to the other. There is no ‘me’ time or downtime, and sometimes you just need somewhere to retreat to and experience the small luxuries in life when all is quiet in the house … or not so quiet. So rather than term these adult spaces as master bedrooms, a more appropriate name should be the ‘main bedroom suite’, because just like hotel suites, you want these spaces to transport you to another world; a world that reflects the individual personality of the occupants. Therefore, there is no right or wrong layout for the main bedroom suite but rather core ingredients that allow you to experience your own private oasis. So what are these core ingredients and how have they evolved?

1. A room with a view
There are times when a master bedroom layout is dictated by one key attribute, and in the case of this master bedroom (within the same house as above), that key attribute is a panoramic view of the water beyond, which spans two entire walls. With limited wall space, the inclusion of furniture beyond the bed itself is not possible. However, the designers have been creative in incorporating a pop-up TV at the end of the bed that stores away when not in use and can act as both a seat and storage unit without inhibiting the view.

2. A private bath
The introduction of a private bath or ensuite as opposed to sharing one with the rest of the house is now a common appendix to all master bedrooms. They are for the private use of the room’s occupants only, and can be lavish or simple, large or small. They can also be hidden or transparent within the room. The bedroom reflects the individual personality of the homeowners and provides an idyllic, stress-free environment away from the chaos beyond the bedroom door.

3. Wardrobe
A key component in the design of any master bedroom layout is the inclusion of a cupboard for your clothing. Once freestanding pieces of furniture that could be moved anywhere within the room, they now form part of the built-in joinery. Generally located against one wall, they incorporate storage space usually reserved for the dresser and other pieces of furniture, and allow for vertical hanging and even a compartment for the TV unit. Almost anything can be stored and purpose designed. It fundamentally eliminates an array of furniture pieces and de-clutters a room.

4. Work space
If you’re a night owl an you work at ungodly hours when the whole house is asleep, sometimes comfort can be gained by working in an area annexed to your master bedroom and not far removed on the other side of your home. Lights can be dimmed in the main bedroom suite while you are busy at work and not disturbing anyone else.

Though these moments are remembered every now and then, if you show up it in your surroundings, you might feel as if you are reliving those memories.

Collected pieces of memories:
The shells collected from the sea-shore, the collection of coins when you first visited some foreign country, the stamps or marbles which you gathered during your childhood, are these memories locked in box or lying on the loft packed in some trunk. Is this the right place to keep your valuable memories? Certainly not. These memories can be splashed in a much charming and creative way. Instead of locking it, you can use these small memories to decorate your living space. The seashells collected can be placed in a glass container with some sand.

Want to Make Your Small Kitchen Feel Bigger?

We be willing to bet that when you think about your dream kitchen, it doesn’t include the word “tiny.” Yet that’s the reality that many of us live with: Skimpy counter space, a cramped work triangle and precious little space for appliances. If you’re not ready – or willing – to knock out a kitchen wall, you can at least do the next best thing –create the impression of a bigger space with a few strategic decorating tricks.

1. Replace solid cabinet doors with glass ones

Glass fronts lighten the look of cabinetry and allow the eye to travel through to the back, which helps the kitchen seem more expansive. Just don’t clutter the interiors with bric-a-brac – you’ll defeat the purpose.

2. Paint cabinets the same colour as the walls

Limiting the cabinetry and the wall colour to a single hue erases visual boundaries that might stop the eye. The conventional school of thought is that pale colours will reflect light and make the space feel bigger, and that’s certainly a safe approach. But don’t be afraid to go dark, either. Deep tones such as black, navy, charcoal and chocolate recede visually and create the impression that the walls are farther back than they really are.

3. Choose furnishings with a small footprint

Select petite islands, slim chairs, streamlined stools and narrow tables that don’t eat up valuable floor space. Avoid chunky furniture legs or thick bases, which add visual bulk.

4. Recess storage

Tuck a pantry, shelving or cabinets flush with the wall to keep from obstructing the kitchen’s flow. It’s fairly easy to retrofit a recessed niche, especially if you orient it between wall studs.

5. Design with clean lines

Big corbels, ornate cabinetry and fussy details can make a kitchen feel chopped up. Instead, keep the elements tailored and sleek to smooth out the look and create a roomier feel.
