8) Traditional & Comfortable Master Bedroom

The fabric is the key to this traditional and comfortable master bedroom. The curtains, throw pillows, wall monogram and headboard were all handmade. Making your own fabric items for your master bedroom provides you with a much broader array of options for color and pattern than if you simply purchased them. The lamp shades weren’t quite the right color for the room so this Hometalker painted them with chalk paint to give them the perfect look. Master bedroom paint colors can be difficult to choose but this soft gray “Quiet Moments” color is perfect. All put together, this room is traditional, calming and comfortable in the best possible way.

9) Modern Gray & Orange Master Bedroom

How often do you see gray paired with orange? Probably not very often! However, this color palette is perfect for this striking modern master bedroom. The wall behind the bed has a decal on it, adding texture and interest to the room. A decal is yet another option for walls amidst the many options of paint, wallpaper, stencils and more. The striking orange pillows tie in well with the painting and throw pillows, all adding color and personality to the room. Adding pops of bright colors is a great small master bedroom idea since it can draw your eyes away from the size of the room towards the pops of color instead.
