After all, where else do you get to be yourself, completely and absolutely? If you're wondering how to create the master bedroom of your dreams (like this stunning space from McCroskey Interiors), here are all the tips, tricks, and inspirational photos you'll need.

Mix together an Old World-inspired traditional vibe, a contemporary sensibility, and a dose of masculine flavor, and you end up with this stunning bedroom from Jeff Andrews Design. It’s proof that when done right, dark walls, lots of wood, and a neutral palette are anything but gloomy or dull. 

Here’s an idea that works equally well in both very large bedrooms and studio apartments: Position a loveseat or a pair of comfortable armchairs at the foot of the bed alongside a small table. Now you have a seating area for relaxing, chatting, or reading. The beautiful bedroom shown here is from Possibilities for Design Inc.

Decorator-to-the-stars Jeff Andrews created this opulent bedroom for Kris Jenner. While her throw may be real mink, you can get a similarly luxurious look for less by tossing a faux fur blanket across the foot of your bed.  

This beach cottage master bedroom from The Good Home proves that a space can be both casual and sophisticated. Notice how the small pops of bright orange liven up the room, while the mismatched bedside tables prove that there's no need for an all-in-one-purchase bedroom set. 

It's a little bit rustic, a little bit bohemian, a little bit industrial and a whole lot gorgeous. This terrific bedroom is from Orsman Construction. 

The British Colonial style, as demonstrated by Eye for Design, is truly the best of both worlds—combining traditional, formal English style and the casual, tropical vibe of the British colonies.

There's a wide range of styles in this bedroom featured by Lonny, and they all add up to a truly lovely space. The Asian-inspired wallpaper sets a pretty backdrop, while the chrome shine of the bed and side table spark up the black walls. The unexpected old-style trunk shakes things up a bit, while the black and red curtains create drama. 

A contemporary bedroom provides plenty of opportunities to spice up the decor with touches of personality. Case in point: this gray, cream, and black master bedroom from Cuckoo 4 Design. While it would still be a gorgeous room without the add-ons, the animal print throw pillows, gold "Texas longhorn," and potted banana tree (this one is faux, but they do grow indoors) really raise the decorating bar up high. 

Just because a bedroom is in a log cabin doesn't mean it can't be luxuriously gorgeous, as this master bedroom from Andre Pierce Architects proves. 

There's nothing stodgy about traditional decor when it combines color, pattern, textures, and shapes with effortless skill, like this beautiful master bedroom seen on Dwellingdecor.

When it comes to bedroom design, neutral colors like brown and cream can be every bit as glamorous as more vibrant hues when combined with luxurious materials, curved lines, and interesting accents, as in this offering from Dwellingdecor. 

Just because a room is decorated entirely in neutrals doesn't mean it can't contain contrast, visual interest, or even a wide range of color. Check out this beautiful bedroom from Marie Flanigan Interiors and see for yourself. 

Here's a contemporary take on the ever-popular beach bedroom from Anne Becker Designs. The blue and white palette, clean lines, and lack of fuss keep the space fresh and airy. Suspending the bed with iron "ropes" is an outstanding touch. 

This bedroom from Robin Pelissier Design highlights the power of metallic accents to glitz up a space—here in the wallpaper and bedside cabinet. The purple upholstered headboard is another gorgeous touch. 

There's just something so warm and welcoming about vintage style. Whether you decorate your entire bedroom with vintage pieces or just add one or two, the result is a restful retreat that welcomes you home at the end of a long day. 

If you want a strong color for your bedroom walls, but don't want to lose the peaceful vibe so conducive to sleep, you can't go wrong with deepest blue, as in this beautiful bedroom from LGB Interiors. 

What a fabulous Mediterranean-inspired bedroom from Jones Clayton Construction. The Old-World formality, luxurious materials, and overall attention to detail make this room a winner. 

As seen on Homedit, it's hard to beat the romantic flair of a canopy bed—especially when the rest of the bedroom is equally soft and luxurious.

Soothing dark neutrals are one way to decorate bedroom walls, but if you want to create a little more interest than paint alone, consider wallpaper with a limited palette and interesting design, like the vining floral used here. 

One way to add serene beauty to a bedroom is with natural materials. This bedroom shows off several: twigs in the light fixture, worn wood on the walls, faux fur on the footboard stools. Botanical artwork continues the natural theme. 

"Stunning" is an apt description of this elegantly beautiful French country bedroom from Tucker & Marks Design. It's the perfect blend of pattern, subdued color, rustic elements, and luxe fabrics.

Potted plants help purify the air and lend a relaxing vibe to the bedroom. Up your decorative power by going full-size, as in this bedroom with large potted banana trees. Other tree options are palms, ficus, and dracaena. 

"Stunning" isn't necessarily synonymous with "lots of stuff." In fact, an open, airy room with just the right blend of color, pattern, interest, and personality can be the most stunning room of all. For proof, just check out the lovely yet simple master bedroom from Amber Interiors, shown here. 

Think black walls are only suited for caves, goth clubs, or angsty teen girls? This stunning room from McCroskey Interiors might change your mind. Notice the white ceiling: that's the key to keeping black walls dramatic, not depressing. 

While traditional style never goes out of fashion, it can get updated to contemporary tastes. Here, McCroskey Interiors does it right. Touches of shine, simply-styled yet boldly-patterned window treatments, the sunburst mirror, and the intriguing small shell table place this traditional bedroom firmly in current times.

If your master bedroom is large enough, take advantage of the extra space with a seating area, as in this room, also from McCroskey Interiors. An area rug defines the space and adds extra interest to the room. 

Crowning the bed or over a dresser isn't the only spot to showcase artwork. Use a large hanging to create interest on an open wall, as in this room from Blackband Home & Design.

Is your bedroom small with a low ceiling? Then take a trick from Blackband Home & Design, and use wallpaper with thin vertical stripes to open up the space.

This bedroom would be pretty without it, but the addition of the colored chandelier takes it to the next level. That's the power of a fantastic lighting fixture. This lovely room is from RSVP Design Services. 

When a room's furnishings are very symmetrical, as in the room shown here, it lends the space a rather formal style. But by keeping the palette limited and peaceful, and the furnishings soft and interesting, the formality mellows into tranquility. 

This stunning bedroom from designer S.R. Gambrel was spotlighted on Architectural Digest. It's decorated in a traditional fashion, but the wonderfully unique artwork—each with a different wilting flower—takes it in a contemporary, rather whimsical direction.

This beautiful bedroom from Combined Interiors highlights the power of pastels. Soft and serene, pastels are perfect for a bedroom where color is desired, but not too much of a dramatic statement.

Not everyone likes to play it safe in the bedroom when it comes to design. This bursting-with-personality master bedroom from Studio Ten 25 shows off its owner's personality to a tee.

There's a reason blue and white is one of the most popular color combinations for the bedroom: it works. Peaceful, versatile enough to complement any decorating style, easy to accent: this palette is a winner. It's also a good color scheme for a tiny bedroom, as demonstrated here by designer Josh Greene.

Sara Gilbane Interiors uses an over-the-bed valance to add a huge dose of drama that isn't too brash for this bedroom. 

Whisper-soft blue on bedroom walls is so peaceful and soothing. In this room from At Home In Arkansas, pastel blue provides the perfect backdrop to a contemporary bedroom with the slightest hint of country style.

Canopy beds are often formal or old-fashioned in style, but as Marika Meyer Interiors shows here, a shiny chrome finish on a simple and contemporary shape brings an otherwise traditional master bedroom right into the modern age. 

Want to turn your master bedroom into a stunner? EJ Interiors shows you an easy way to do it: Add plenty of luxurious glamour in the form of mirrored surfaces, plush velvet, and soft faux fur.

Love colors and patterns? Then you'll love this cheerful and gorgeous bedroom, also from Taylor Borsari Inc.

Here, there's a touch of pink in the flowers and pouf, but you could substitute any favorite color. 

As featured in Lonny, a contemporary take on country shows off the power of white. It provides the perfect backdrop for a striking black bed, and only requires a few colorful accents to liven up the room. 

A stunning bedroom needs a spectacular bed as the centerpiece: that means throw pillows displayed to perfection. While there are many ways to arrange your pillows, you can't go wrong with classic Euro shams in the back, regular shams in the middle, and two or three throw pillows in front. 

Top off your headboard with a sizable piece of artwork, and your bed will get the attention it deserves. Don't make the easy mistake of hanging the art too high—just a couple of inches above the headboard is enough.

Here's how to do purple in the master bedroom the right way: Choose softly muted shades of lilac, lavender or plum, and then add in a cool neutral to chase away any potential "child's bedroom" vibes. Here, Barlow Reid Design Inc. uses a silvery gray with soft purples to create a sophisticated master bedroom.

Pink and green is a lovely and classic color combination for not only girls' bedrooms, but also feminine master suites. The secret, as demonstrated here by Megan Winters Design, is to choose traditional or classic styles of furniture that look sophisticated, not overly youthful.
