    5 Master Bedroom Decorating Tips - bhgrelife.com1. Always Focus on Comfort

    It’s important to remember the purpose of the master bedroom, and also how much time you spend in your bed each night. With this in mind, you’ll quickly come to the conclusion that comfort is an absolute must. Be sure to purchase high-quality sheets and fluffy comforters, while focusing less on luxurious furniture for the room. You can snag a stylish bed, dresser, chaise lounge, and whatever else you need at an affordable price, but comfort is something you just can’t skip out on. Opt for higher thread counts, a high-quality mattress, supportive pillows, and a good comforter.

  • The Newest Hue: Blue

    One of the coolest colors on the spectrum is now the hottest hue in decorating. Blue is as familiar as the sky and as versatile as a pair of jeans, making it a universal favorite. Using blue in changing shades, varying intensities, and different patterns creates high-impact rooms that please the eye. And while it may be considered a “trend” color now, blue has staying power. In its range of hues—sky, aqua, turquoise, cobalt, indigo, navy—blue offers a livable, everyday palette you can use now and still love later.

    Blues perfectly play off of white or neutral elements already in your home and the diverse shades mix and match well together. However, as a general rule, pair darker tones with lighter ones for a balanced combination. If there is a blue you particularly love, you might choose to paint the walls that color. But if you’re looking for less of a commitment, even adding in a new decorative accessory like a ceramic lamp in a bright teal gives a room a little lift so it feels more current.
