The master bedroom is the intimate heart of your household. When designing the master bedroom do so with awareness; the bedroom you share with your partner is a container for your love.

The following slides show some elements to consider when designing your master bedroom.

Opposite the doorway
Beds should be opposite the doorway if possible, and not directly in front of a window.
Placing a bed between windows helps create boundaries within a space by drawing attention to the windows and the focal point of a space—in a bedroom the focal point is usually the bed.
A solid wall behind the headboard will provide grounding and support, whereas a window allows energy to leak out, and energy from outside to invade the sanctity of the room and the relationship. The headboard also represents stability and support.
Soft, white luxurious fabrics invite rest, and window treatments that complement the décor create beauty and give the room a sense of warmth, privacy and cohesion.

Greens and purples
Greens and purples are wonderful colors for a master bedroom. Green represents the heart chakra and purple honors the spiritual dimensions of your union.

Release the tensions
When you step into your master bedroom it’s important to release the tensions and impressions of the outside world. You can honor that shift by emphasizing the doorway with molding, paint colors, or by creating a defined archway that echoes the style of a culture that you love such.

Lovely retreat
Your bedroom can be a lovely retreat. This room is arty and full of personality and light.
It also has an armoire where you can hide a TV. According to feng shui principles, TVs pull the chaos of the world into your intimate space and destroy peace of mind. If you must have one, hide it in a console.
