100 Stunning Master Bedroom Design Ideas

Whether your room is small or large, whether you prefer a casual or a formal decorating style, whether you fancy the newest trends or the tried-and-true classics: your master bedroom should be your favorite space in your home. After all, where else do you get to be completely, absolutely yourself? If you're wondering how to create the master bedroom of your dreams (like the stunning space from McCroskey Interiors shown here), 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 pair of comfortable armchairs at the foot of the bed, along with a small table. Now you have a seating area for relaxing, chatting, or reading. The beautiful bedroom here is from Possibilities for Design Inc.

Decorator-to-the-stars Jeff Andrews created this opulent bedroom for Kris Jenner. While hers may not be faux, you can get a similarly luxurious look by tossing a pretend-mink 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 pulled-together lovely. Notice how the small shots 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. 

A combination of traditional, formal English style and the casual, natural vibe of the many tropical lands colonized by Britain in centuries past, the British Colonial style is truly the best of both worlds. 

There's a wide range of styles here, all adding 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 opportunity 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 them, 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 so beautifully. 

There's nothing stodgy about traditional decor when it combines color, pattern, textures and shapes as skillfully as this beautiful master bedroom. Perfect.

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 the bedroom shown here. 

Just because a room is decorated entirely in neutrals doesn't mean it can't be filled with contrast, interest and 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—here in the wallpaper and bedside cabinet—to glitz up a space. 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 strong color on 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 makes this room a winner. 

It's hard to beat the romantic flair of a canopy bed, especially when the rest of the bedroom is equally soft and luxurious. So pretty. 

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 just-enough-luxe fabrics. 

Sometimes, all it takes is a couple of well chosen accent pieces to transform a room from ho-hum to stunning. Here, Liquid Interiors used a glorious wooden screen in place of a traditional headboard, as well as unique spiky pendant lights, to create a small but beautiful master bedroom. 

Stylist Shelly Turner decorated this fresh and airy midcentury modern bedroom in blue and white, perfect against the brick walls. 

Ever wondered what would happen if you mixed country design with a touch of Hollywood glam? Well, wonder no more, because Alexander James Interior Design has answered the question for you with this stunning master bedroom. 

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

"Stunning" is not synonymous with "lots of stuff." In fact, an open, airy room with just the right blend of color, pattern, interest, and personality is 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 to caves, Goth looks, or overly-dramatic 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 does 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. Stunning. 

If your master bedroom is large enough, take advantage of the extra space with a seating area, as in this room 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. 

Nothing says romance like a canopy bed. The gently draping panels on the bed shown here (the room is decorated by Blackband Home & Design) are quite simple, but add a touch of soft sensuousness to an otherwise serene bedroom. 

 This bedroom would be pretty without it, but the addition of the gorgeous, uniquely colored chandelier takes it several steps beyond mere prettiness and into the stunning zone. 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. So pretty.

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. So wonderfully quirky, dramatic and full of fun.

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 Hernandez Greene.

Sara Gilbane Interiors uses an over-the-bed valance to add a huge dose of drama that isn't overly brash or loud to this stylish master 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. 

Wow. If you've ever had any doubt that it only takes one or two fabulous accessories to elevate a room from attractive to stunning, then this glorious space from Shabby Slips should dispel all questions. The ornate baroque mirror over the bed, couple with the formal chandelier, truly turn this black-walled bedroom into a decorating win. 

Want to add some sizzle to a neutral bedroom? Then layer an oh-so-bright area rug over the floor, even right on top of wall-to-wall carpet. Martha O'Hara Interiors lights up this room with the hottest of pinks, but you could achieve the same effect with any other intense bright. 

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 takes 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. 

Every bedroom benefits from a touch or two of metallic shine, but if you want to create a stunning bedroom, take metallics all the way, as in this feminine, beautiful space from EJ Interiors. 

Even the tiniest bedroom can be a stunner if instead of denying the lack of space, you embrace it. Here, Holly Dyment Design fills a micro-bedroom with bright, happy color, pattern and texture. 

Gray used to be an uncommon color for bedroom design, but today, it's prized for its serene and calming vibe. In this room, Lucy and Company show off the peaceful and pretty combination of gray and white. 

Looking for an unusual touch to transform your room into something special? Why not take a tip from designer Tobi Fairley and paint your ceiling with bold stripes? This wonderful bedroom is decorated in green and coral, but you could choose any strong color for a similar effect. 

Despite the name, wallpaper is a great option for more than just walls. In this model home, Perkinson Homes demonstrates the power of a wallpapered ceiling to transform a room into something special. 

This wonderfully subdued Moroccan-influenced bedroom from designer Taylor Borsari is entirely neutral, and yet filled with interesting pattern and texture. Stunning. 

Love color and Pattern? Then you'll love the cheerful and gorgeous bedroom from Taylor Borsari Inc. shown here. There's a whole lot of color and pattern going on in this bedroom, but because the palette is limited to red, yellow and green, and the pattern is nicely balanced in scale, there's nothing chaotic or overly-stimulating about the space. 

Who wouldn't look forward to bedtime if it meant crawling into a bed as gorgeous as this four poster beauty? When you have a unique piece of furniture like this, the rest of the room can stay simple. This lovely room is from Heather Scott Home & Design. 

This soft and sublime bedroom from Tucker & Marks Design shows off a bit of Asian influence in the patterns on the bedside lamps, wallpaper, and bench, but the furnishings and color scheme are traditional in style. 

Beautiful window treatments add a lot of color and pattern to a space. In this traditional master bedroom, McCann Design Group choose pink and salmon floral drapes topped with valances to light up this mostly neutral room. 

This contemporary take on cottage decor from Benjamin Dhong Interiors shows how cheerful and fresh a yellow and green palette can be. 

Designer Jamie Herzlinger decorated this master bedroom in elegantly glamorous French style. Ornate trim, plenty of gold, expensive fabrics, and a sense of the traditional all play a part in this somewhat formal style.

There's nothing froufrou about this black and brown bedroom from Marie Flanagan Interiors. What a wonderful room for a single man, a couple who prefer a strong style, or any woman who isn't wowed by the traditionally feminine. 

Orange and black isn't a common color combination for the bedroom, but after a look designer Tobi Fairley's creation here, you'll wonder why it isn't used more often. 

This stunning bedroom was once the upper eaves of a church. Today, it’s a testament to the power of a show-stopping and unexpected focal point – or as in beautiful bedroom from Periwinkles Design, several focal points in the form of stained glass windows. Every aspect of this simple, colorful bedroom is sheer perfection.   

A stunning headboard surround nearly as large as the wall turns a rustic bedroom into a showstopper. 

Here's a nautically-themed bedroom done right. No overly-cutesy, take-the-theme-too-far kitsch in this thoroughly grownup bedroom from the thinking closet. Instead, a nod to the theme with blue and white stripes, just enough boat-related accessories, and a couple of throw pillows with nautical motifs. Perfect.

Here, Tucker & Marks Design prove that country style doesn't have to be cutesy, overly casual, or anything less than stunning. Rustic wood, warm color, traditional patterns... this room gets everything right. 

This swanky stunner shows off Hollywood glam or Hollywood regency style. Luxe fabrics, plenty of shine, a showstopper chandelier, and an overall sense of expensive style are hallmarks of this dramatic look.

There's so much gorgeousness going on in this room from Woodson & Rummerfield's House of Design, it's hard to know where to start. The beautiful salmon pink walls? The gorgeous peacocks and flowers mural? The bed, with its crystal-clear posts? Or perhaps it's all of these factors put together that make this bedroom so stunning. 

Rich and delicious, chocolate is as tasty a color as it is a candy. Case in point: this soothing, warm, and elegant bedroom from Rugo/Raff Ltd. Architects. The strong brown walls aren't too dramatic, but instead, are like a warm hug. Lot of white keeps the room feeling open and airy. 

Sloped roof in an attic bedroom? Play it up, as in this lovely space from Andrea Schumacher Interiors. Simply attach a length of pretty fabric to the ceiling with a curtain rod, drape it gently over the bed, and then secure it over the headboard with a second curtain rod. So pretty.  

Love lots of color in your bedroom? How about a riot of pattern, a sense of humor, an artistic sensibility, and a love for global influence? If your answers are "yes," then you are a fan of the boho decorating style, displayed beautifully in this colorful bedroom from The Jungalow.

Here's a bedroom from Amber Interiors that shows off the power of texture to liven up a very subdued color scheme. Notice the varied textures in the rug, window shades, light fixture, bedding and bench. 

Neutrals are inherently soothing, making them perfect for bedroom design. But sometimes, an all-neutral color scheme can be a bit blah. If you want to spark up your own neutral space, take a tip from this lovely room from the blog Nesting Place. Here, it's a touch of pink in the flowers and pouf, but you could substitute any favorite color. 

Here, 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 stunning 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 the classic Euro shams in the back, regular shams in the middle, 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 common mistake of hanging the art too high above the headboard—just a couple inches is enough.

Chalky black walls, a bed piled high with cozy bedding, a chandelier dripping crystal pendants and a simple display of one flowering branch... this bedroom is both minimalist and glamorous. 

Looking to add elegant drama to your bedroom without spending a fortune? Hang a set of curtains over your bed, as in this sophisticated space from Summerhouse Interior Design. You'll get decorating bang without spending a fortune.

Sometimes, you can be surprised by a color combination that seems questionable, but actually works wonderfully to create a gorgeous bedroom. Case in point: this orange, blue and brown stunner from Jonathan Adler. 

The most cheerful color of the spectrum, yellow lends its happy vibe to any room it graces. In this airy, fresh master bedroom, Meg Braff Designs uses yellow and white to create a cheery, welcoming space. 

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 sophisticated neutral to chase away any potential "child's bedroom" vibe. Here, Barlow Reid Design Inc. used 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 young. 

"Stunning" is in the eye of the beholder, of course, and different people love different decorating styles. But one element that is quite common in gorgeous bedrooms is an impressively tall headboard, like the one in this bedroom from Megan Winters Design.
