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.

Quarry Lake kitchen reveal

Hello again! My message to you this month centers on a goal – to update a kitchen without changing its bones, the kitchen cabinets or countertops. We were up to the challenge! As you know, what an interior designer does is reveal concepts that might not be obvious but make such a big difference. The short version is that we relocated the TV into the living room so this family of four and a lovely dog could hang out there more often …since the space was not used much. (I will share the new living room space with you in the future. In this message, it’s about the kitchen). ©Elle M Photography ©Elle M Photography Moving the TV created a gathering space that was inviting and cozy and closer to the kitchen/island area. Everyone likes to be near the food! Paint is a wonderful way to create change.  The kitchen cabinets set the tone and, fortunately, this family is not afraid of bringing color into their home. The SW 9134 Delft gloss paint is t...

Useful ideas on choosing a bookcase

Du interiors  Bookcases can be classical, fanciful, functional and personal …they really add to the anatomy of a room. They display your favorite reads as well as framed memories. There are so many options on deciding on the best for your nest. Here are important considerations. What Size Should Your Bookcase Be? The most basic consideration is size. How much space do you have in the room you have in mind? If space is ample, wide bookcases that measure several feet across are a good design idea. However, if room is small, go up! Taller bookcases work in space limitations, if you plan on placing a lot on them. Otherwise, one or more small bookcases would work.  Measure the room before you shop. What Type of Bookcase Do You Want? If you need inspiration, we suggest checking out houzz.com , Pinterest, Instagram, and so forth. There are so many choices on the market. What is Your Budget? Prices range from several hundred dollars to thousands if you want a custom built-...
