How to Create a Cozy Master Retreat

Most people consider their bedroom the coziest place in the house. But creating the ultimate lounge station doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. From lighting and colors to bedding, accessories and other decor, there are dozens of small and simple ways to make your master bedroom your own little oasis. The last thing you want to do is enter this room and feel overwhelmed; the right design tricks can help you cuddle up into bed every evening without a worry in the world.

If you’re interested in achieving a retreat feel in your bedroom, consider the following tips:

Choose the right color scheme.
Red walls in merlot or cherry can evoke an intimate feel. Likewise, dark shades of gray can tone down the space and make it easy to fall into a deep slumber. On the other hand, a light color scheme can make the space feel larger. Shades of white cascaded with natural lighting creates the ideal spot for a quick afternoon wind down with a book in hand.

Layer rugs.
Area rugs are ideal for adding color, pattern and texture to any space, but they can also bring more comfort and dimension to the bedroom. This is specifically true if you have hardwood floors, but it can still make a major statement when the master bedroom is carpeted – it just makes it even cozier.

Have fun with textures.
Whether you’re searching for the next best area rug, throw pillows or decorative canvases – or perhaps a mix of all of these accents – a variety of textures can add another layer of comfort to the bedroom. Some super snug textures to consider throughout the space include velvet and faux fur.
