Modern Wardrobe Ideas | How to Style a Master Bedroom

In search of modern wardrobe ideas? We’ve written this post on stylish master bedroom design. Whether you’re looking to update your decor from scratch or make better use of the space, we cover everything from lighting to zones and wardrobes.

The latter, specifically, plays a pivotal role in shaping bedroom design and goes far beyond the functional purpose of storage. For example, wooden doors create a cosy, natural vibe, while mirrors open the room. The choice depends on your personal preferences and the available space.

Given that sleep accounts for approximately one-third of our lives, where we do it matters, and efforts to create a restful sleeping environment are worthwhile. Remember, your bedroom is a retreat from the world (and let’s not forget the rest of the house) – here’s how to create a haven of comfort you’ll never want to leave.

How to style a master bedroom like a pro

1. Identify your ‘dream scheme’

There are plenty of great decorating ideas out there, and that’s one reason why we turn to bedroom trends for direction. Whether you prefer mid-century modern decor or rustic farmhouse, there are many ways to style a master bedroom.

Paint colours

When it comes to choosing a paint colour for your bedroom, start by thinking about the kind of atmosphere you’re aiming for. Do you want it to be calm and relaxed or energetic? Also, pay attention to how much sunlight the room gets.

Sunnier rooms can handle cool colours like blues and greens, while rooms with less light might benefit from warmer tones like beige or soft yellows. Once you’ve got a colour in mind, get some peel-and-stick samples ordered and observe how they change with the room’s lighting throughout the day.

Flooring

Selecting the appropriate bedroom flooring primarily revolves around optimising cosiness and a welcoming ambience. Not surprisingly, carpets stand out as the preferred choice for the majority of bedroom layouts.

Solid hardwood flooring, however, presents an equally excellent alternative, offering the potential for warmth, especially when accompanied by the addition of a rug.

2. Think about the layout and zones

When crafting a chic master bedroom design, it’s essential to consider layout and zoning for a well-balanced space that exudes both style and functionality. Begin by defining distinct zones for dressing and sleeping while positioning the bed against the longest wall to create a visually appealing setup.

To achieve a seamless flow, place the dressing area nearby, taking into account natural light for makeup application and outfit selection. Remember, a successful master bedroom scheme seamlessly blends layout considerations with stylish elements, resulting in a harmonious and elegant sanctuary.

3. Ensure there’s plenty of storage capacity

While it may be tempting to overlook the importance of storage in design, doing so would be a mistake. Storage might not be the most glamorous aspect, yet it plays a pivotal role in maintaining an organised and clutter-free space.

This is where fitted modern wardrobes shine, offering not only practicality but also a more spacious solution compared to standalone wardrobes. Whether you require more hanging space for your garments or a tidy place to fold them, the choice is entirely yours.

4. Choose furniture that works with your theme

Selecting the right furniture to complement your bedroom scheme is a vital aspect of interior design. Achieving a harmonious atmosphere involves striking a balance between different elements, particularly the wardrobe and other furnishings like the bed and bedside tables.

The wardrobes, as a dominant piece, set the tone for the room, and their style, colour, and design should align with the overall aesthetic without overwhelming the space. Meanwhile, bedside tables act as functional companions, offering a chance to introduce complementary textures and colours. 

With the ability to customise both modern wardrobe designs and storage solutions, at Kingfield Bedrooms, we can match or complement fitted wardrobes with the following pieces:

• Chest of drawers
• Dressing tables
• Overhead shelves
• Bedside tables
• Display units

5. Never underestimate the power of a wonderful bed

When it comes to choosing a bed, don’t do it in haste; it’s just not worth losing sleep. Begin by evaluating the size you would like and the size of the room, giving yourself enough room to spread out.

Additionally, take your personal style into account; whether you’re drawn to minimalist designs or upholstered frames, the bed’s aesthetics should resonate with your taste and complement your bedroom decor. Likewise, if you’re looking to maximise storage, why not choose a divan? These are particularly invaluable for smaller bedrooms.

And even better bedlinen

Although bedding might not seem like such a big deal, it can elevate your decor, and top-notch linens win every time. But it’s not just about looks; it’s about waking up feeling refreshed, especially if you suffer from allergies.

6. Create a functional lighting plan

Creating the perfect ambience through bedroom lighting involves a delicate balance between functionality and aesthetics. To start, use a central overhead light for general illumination, then layer in various lighting types to achieve warmth and depth.

Wall sconces work well for accentuating pictures or architectural features, while bedside lamps create a cosy reading nook. Integrated dimmer switches also offer the added benefit of easy intensity control, accommodating various moods. Moreover, did you know we can even help with bedroom accessories like wardrobe lighting?

7. Make it your own with the right bedroom accessories

In any bedroom design, small finishing touches can make a substantial difference in both style and atmosphere, regardless of your budget. For instance, the addition of a high-quality rug not only adds a layer of softness but also plays well with other textures in the room. Furthermore, integrating house plants into the design not only brings a touch of nature indoors but also contributes to fostering a healthier atmosphere.

Modern wardrobe ideas; which design is right for your space?

Now that you’ve got these tips under your belt, there’s only one thing left to consider – the type of wardrobe and storage solutions you’d like for your space! As mentioned before, a wardrobe’s colour, material and finish can go a long way in complementing a master bedroom’s interior scheme. 

But what exactly is modern design? Well, it depends on your taste; modern wardrobes don’t have to mean a minimal aesthetic. In fact, as trends tend to circle back around, there’s no reason why a classic shaker-style door can’t be modernised with gorgeous brass hardware.

We especially love the following styles for a modern master bedroom scheme:

• Bella Austin in Supermatt Dust Grey
• Valore Warm Walnut and Smooth Anthracite
• Bella Richmond Sliding Door in Matt Sage Green
• Valore Linear in a White finish
• Bella Aldridge 4 Panel Shaker in Supermatt Mood Grey (this modern wardrobe design is NEW to view in our showroom)

Remember, style is just a perspective, and it completely depends on your taste. Follow us on Instagram to keep an eye on our fitted bedroom range.
