Master Bedroom Retreat

©Elle M Photography

When redecorating our homes, priority often goes to the public spaces, while the private rooms like the bedrooms which are where we spend the largest portion of our lives quickly fall on the list of spaces to work on someday. And this is the case of many of my clients.

After Du interiors successfully designed this couple’s entry/family/dining homein Tigard, Oregon, they enlisted Du interiors to take on their upstairs master bedroom.

Both wife and husband knew what they like and disliked...but pulling it all together was going to be Du interiors task. The wall paper was the foundation for the design concept of the master bedroom while the metal headboard and many other material and texture provide a warm and invited monochromatic palette to this relaxing master bedroom.

If your Master Bedroom falls on the list of spaces to work on someday, this is a good the time to change the situation. The holiday is over, the kids are back to school, taxes are done, the winter weather still here, so what could be more enjoyable than a peaceful haven in which to warm up, relax and rejuvenate at the end of the day? Here are few elements to consider as you create your master bedroom retreat.

Mattress. The single most important element in the bedroom is a good mattress. There are endless options, so take the time to research the options online before heading to a mattress store to test them.

Frame. After the mattress, the next item to decide on is what type of frame or headboard would be good match with your lifestyles. An upholstered headboard would be a smart choice if reading is part of your nightly routine.

Bedding. In addition to offering warmth and comfort, it plays a major role in setting the design. The options are endless.

Lighting. Soft lighting helps to create a relaxing atmosphere. If reading light is required, make sure that the light falls where it’s needed.

Night stands and additional furniture, area rug, mirror, art, and color pallet are where you introduce your personal style.

Couple builds dream home in Walla Walla

Melissa & Mike visiting the construction site... a marvelous winter landscape! The calendar years of 2020/2021 have been one of the most challenging and unpredictable years of my life. On the other hand, they have also been one of my best professionally. The saying time flies when you are busy is true! My last blog was in November! Therefore, I am enjoying taking a break and sharing with you my pleasure in having had an opportunity to meet some wonderful new clients and catch up with existing clients. They kept me busy with consultations, renovations, new contractors and problem-solving with people working and teaching their children at home. You might think the interval during new construction won't have much of an effect on interior design, but decisions made from initial drawings and during construction have a profound effect on home decor. They set the groundwork for client satisfaction, such as this project. As the point person for a couple building their third (and fi...

Creative table tops add to dining experience

www.jellinadetmar.nl Whether it’s tea for two on an island in Capri or dinner for 10 in your home, a creative table setting adds an extra dimension to the dining experience. You can play with so many ideas, a Mediterranean theme, or Mexican or African…just about any country on the globe has cultural objects. If you do not have the accessories to start with, begin collecting whenever you see something that would work. It’s amazing what you can find shopping on your own house if you think out of the box. I always find something that I purchased on my travels like wraps from Africa or straw beach mat from Mexico as a table runner, bracelet from Hawaii as napkins holder, etc. Scarf from South of Africa Candles? Always! Add votives to take your centerpiece from day to night. You can play with colors and different heights to make the table décor interesting. You could go seasonal and use greenery in your garden or find some objects at the local nursery or your supermarket. A li...
