Whatever the scope of your project, make sure you have a budget in mind before you start so you can spend wisely. It’s also helpful to line up a licensed contractor if your work is beyond your DIY skills.
Finally, create a Pinterest or mood board with ideas for colors, patterns, or other ideas you’d like to add to elevate your master bedroom to something truly special.
Expand Your Closet
If possible, turn your closet into a walk-in with plenty of room for your clothes, accessories, shoes, and even a full-length mirror. And whether you enlarge your closet or not, invest in a top-of-the-line custom closet organizing system so everything has its own (easy to reach) place.
Create a Sitting Area
Are you adding square footage to your bedroom, or just trying to figure out what to do with that empty space in one corner of the room? Turn it into a sitting area with a chaise or slipper chair, a beautiful lamp, and a table large enough to hold a small vase of fresh-cut flowers.
Let in the Light
A master will look more spacious with natural light spilling in and casting a warm glow. If you don’t already have an adequate number of windows, consider installing some, or perhaps even a set of glass doors.
Make Your Bed
A lumpy bed has no place in a luxury bedroom. Think of the finest bed you’ve ever slept on in a hotel. It likely had luxury bedding, including a cloudlike duvet, tastefully coordinated throw pillows, sumptuous sheets, and, perhaps most importantly, a high-quality mattress that offers premium support and plenty of comfort for a good night’s sleep.
Give Your Furniture an Upgrade
In addition to getting the best possible bed (perhaps a king or California king that doesn’t skimp on sleeping space), you may want to look at new night tables or dressers, too. Look for interesting textiles, like a leather headboard, or incorporate light wood pieces, rattan chairs, stonework accessories and plenty of greenery to capitalize on the trend toward natural materials.
Pick an Elevated Palette
Rich blues, pastel greens, soothing mauve—explore the many different colorways available to update your paint, as well as your bedding, wallpaper, and more. Just don’t use too many colors at once; sophisticated bedrooms tend to use two colors that complement each other, with a neutral thrown into the mix to tie the palette together. Of course, you can stick to a classic neutral palette as long as you…
Play to the Senses
Neutrals look extra-luxe when they are presented in a range of appealing, touchable textiles. Velvet, boucle, silk damask, can all add a layer of drama to your bedroom. And don’t forget to add patterns here and there for visual interest. Throw pillows are a wonderful option for mixing different patterns and textures, and they’re easy to swap out when you want to try something new.
Don’t Overcrowd Your Walls
Modern luxury master bedrooms often take a minimalist approach to interior design. Create a statement wall with one large-scale artwork, wall hanging, or family photo, or just leave the wall blank but paint it in a different color from the rest of the room or add a patterned wallpaper to create a focal point.
It’s Curtains for You
Nowadays you can order custom window coverings in a variety of styles and fabric to coordinate perfectly with your bedroom. Once you’ve selected your drapes, Roman shades, blinds, or shutters, take it to the next level and add blackout shades that are operated via remote control so you can sleep peacefully without extra outdoor light interrupting your sweet dreams.
Devise a Light Scheme
Luxury doesn’t mean just hanging a breathtaking pendant light or chandelier in your master bedroom (though it definitely helps). Instead, make that light the centerpiece of a design that includes table and floor lamps and sconces to provide accent, task, and ambient lighting. And remember to put warm-toned light bulbs in your fixtures for a calming sense of relaxation.
Find Smart Storage Solutions
Clutter can make even the grandest master bedroom feel cramped and unwelcoming. Night table drawers, discreet closet bins for laundry, and under-the-bed drawers can help you avoid a pileup of random items so your space feels tidy and organized. For the height of luxury, order custom furniture pieces such as a chest or vanity with storage crafted to your specifications.
Look Into Mirrors
Not only is a mirror an elegant design statement, but it’s also a clever way to add the illusion of space to your room. You may want a large rectangular mirror in an ornate frame, or perhaps a grouping of three round or oval frameless mirrors. Whatever you choose, you’ll be leveraging a simple yet smart design tool that adds luxury to your space.
Make a Room Within a Room
Your master can feel more like a bedroom suite if you divide up the space into smaller “rooms” by, for instance, adding curtains around your bed so you feel cocooned at night. You can also find a beautiful antique paneled screen to section off a sitting area or desk from your bed.

Start Making “Scents”
Luxury is in the details, whether it’s an oversized quilted headboard, an antique clock on your nightstand, or the shades on your floor lamps. And scent is a detail you should never overlook. Use a candle or oil diffuse with your scent of choice: citrus to energize, lavender to soothe, gardenia to add a note of glamour.
You spend a lot of time in your bedroom. Make your master a room that draws you in, giving you the feeling that there’s no place else you’d rather be. Whether you employ small but impactful changes or decide to tear down a wall, you can have the luxury bedroom you’ve always dreamed of.
