You want a design for a sumptuous master bedroom. You could choose to reach out to a professional or decorate it yourself. If it’s the latter, simply follow the tips below for an opulent and comfortable space.
1. Choose a decadent bed
For a luxurious master bedroom, start with a statement-making bed enhanced with carved frames and a tufted, velvet headboard. For the mattress, you could choose hybrid ones that are a combination of latex, memory or polyurethane foam and coils or springs, which work together to make the bed soft, bouncy and don’t strain your muscles.
Tip: The bed’s height can affect the overall look of the bedroom. In low-ceilinged or small bedrooms, lower beds can make the ceiling look higher and the room more spacious. On the other hand, if your room has high ceilings, a taller bed would make the room look more balanced and proportionate.

2. Add silken furnishings
Layer your bed with plush linen – add a satin bed cover and pillow cases. Choose bed linen with a thread count of at least 300 (the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch. The higher the thread count, the softer and smoother the sheet). When selecting pillows, look for those with down fillings (these are the soft under-feathers obtained from geese, ducks and other waterfowl) that keep the pillow soft and don’t let them lose shape easily.
Tip: Choose your mattress carefully – a mattress that is either too hard or too soft can result in back pain. One easy way to determine which one is right for you is by lying flat on the mattress and placing your hand under the small of your back – if there’s a gap, it suggests the mattress is too firm. If pushing your hand underneath is a struggle, it’s too soft.

Glam up the master bedroom with sheer curtains that have a subtle tinge of shimmer. Ensure you add a second layer of blackout curtains so that you won’t have to wake up at the crack of the dawn with the sun pouring in.
3. Introduce a stylish lighting piece
An eye-catching chandelier above the bed or a bunch of statement-making pendant lights hung at different heights can add to the glam factor of the bedroom. Also, spotlights that highlight artworks can contribute to the overall effect of stylish luxury effect.

4. Choose a few, but statement-making furniture pieces
To give your master bedroom a grand look, keep the number of furniture pieces minimal to ensure a clean, clutter-free interior, but make sure each item is high on style and finish. For example, choose a mirror-finished dressing table with gold or silver detailing and side tables with inlay work.
Tip: Have a lavish, large bedroom and want to create a seating area? A small seating space can be created even in a 4x4-square-foot area with a single chair and a small table. If there’s more space, a loveseat and two tables can fit in a 10x5-square-foot area. Leave at least 2 feet of walking space around the perimeter of the bed.

5. Upgrade your storage
Choose automated closet systems equipped with sensor lights, soft and silent closing, motorised clothes rails, internal digital lockers and pull-out laundry baskets. You can even customise the wardrobe finishes and internal shelves to neatly store big-ticket items, from clothes and shoes, to even small accessories sich as watches and rings.
