It is often true to say that remodeling your master bedroom is one of the last places in the home that receives a makeover but it has become one of the most desirable on homeowner’s lists. If the bedroom is only used for sleeping, this can be a waste when it can be used for so much more; relaxing, reading or listen to music are just a few examples. In Europe of course, in particular, France and Italy, the master bedroom has always had a more sensual feel it.
The main aspect of change if you remodel your master bedroom in to a more sensual place is the color scheme and you can achieve this by using shades of red, cream and peach. Candles are also useful but they need mirrors to enhance the reflections or you can add plants which will also provide the same effect. More people prefer the master bedroom to be a place where they can relax with a good book whether on the bed or in a comfy chair placed near the bed or a window to provide views.
With a bedroom, subtle lighting is preferable to a single harsh light because it doesn’t enhance the feel of the room at all whereas many soft lights are more inviting and relaxing. Traditionally to achieve the best effect in a room for reading in you should look towards the softer shades of ivory, amber and slate blue. When you are remodeling you master bedroom to create a room which is more like a retreat, then beautiful throws, cushions (or pillows) and mirrors will achieve the desired look.
If your sanctuary is also a place where you intend to read then the addition of a comfortable chair and a reading lamp will be a simple matter. Of course when remodeling your master bedroom this way, pictures of your family (preferably in antique brass frames) should be placed around the room to provide a sanctuary like feeling. The most comfortable colors for a sanctuary style room are darker shades like chocolate brown, deep greens and cobalt blues which help make the room feel cozy.
If you are determined to create a space that is purely self indulgent, then why not add a radio or cd system, television and traditional writing desk where you will be able to enjoy your own private little world, but this is obviously something that is dependant on available space. It is not uncommon to place concealed fridges either in addition to tea or coffee making facilities which almost provide the feel of a quality hotel suite. Remodeling your master bedroom may end a project that requires some compromise if there are two occupants that cannot agree on a particular them but many mentioned previously can be mixed and matched quite successfully together.
