Her dream was to overhaul her massive 1980s-style master bedroom and create a traditionally-inspired oasis where she could escape for a little "Laura" time and reconnect with her hard-working hubby each evening. So I called in my crew and geared up to create a luxury master bedroom that is kid-, animal- and chaos-free. My first task was to get rid of all the dated finishes, including the gaudy green carpeting and pink faux-finished walls. I decided on a traditional and calming color palette of cream, fawn, wheat and tan. I used these neutrals on the walls, on the ceiling and in the new carpet; they all have same tonal quality, but work as quiet contrasts.
The fabrics are what create the colors in this space. I used a subtle floral pattern for drapes and upholstery, which complements the glacier blues and bolder geometrics used for throw pillows and accents. Next it was time to organize the space. This 500-square-foot bedroom — almost the size of the couple's first apartment — was big on space. But bigger doesn't always mean better. The cavernous room was vastly underutilized, so I divided it into two more manageable zones: a bed/lounge area and a sitting area.
In the bed and lounge zone, I put in a cozy bed with a stunning beige headboard. On the bed I used sumptuous linens, textured throws and a heap of pillows. I also set up little end tables, a relaxing chaise and a mirrored desk/vanity by the window. In the bed sitting area, I installed a camel-colored sofa in a durable microfiber, two chairs that are upholstered in the floral pattern, a cream-colored ottoman and a giant wall-leaning mirror.
