BEDROOM
Bedrooms 32. Channel-tufted headboards. A headboard offers an opportunity to introduce something interesting in the design of your bedroom. Because most walls that beds sit against are flat, plain surfaces, it makes sense to use the headboard to bring in a bit of texture. The channel-tufted option seems to be taking off. The design offers the look of shiplap or wood slats, but its subtle curvature and fabric give it the softness you want for a bedroom. Designer Raychel Wade used one in the New York bedroom seen here. Its rich brown color also adds a dose of warmth to the mostly gray scheme.

10. Natural Light Meets Organic Materials In the remodel of a 1940s ranch house in Los Angeles, designer Shannon Ggem updated the master bedroom with wellness in mind. Organic linen bedding in soft colors complements the channel-tufted upholstered headboard that extends all the way to the ceiling. Green accents from the sofa at the foot of the bed and living plants enliven the mostly neutral palette and attract the eye. Natural light streams in from two existing windows, which the designer framed with light-filtering fabric. “This is a designer trick — I used the window treatments to give it a more centered look,” Ggem says. She and her design team also re-covered the fireplace, plastering it in a hand-troweled striated pattern.

Because the bedroom is one of the simplest rooms in the house, it’s often overlooked. One of the first steps to a great bedroom design is having an efficient and well-designed floor plan that gives you everything you want — no matter how much space you start with. Here are seven tips to help you get the most out of your bedroom.
1. Plan for Simple Circulation Try to keep your circulation on one side of the room. Hotels do a great job of this. There’s a reason 90 percent of hotels have the same floor plan: because it’s simple and it works.
Circulation plans become a little more challenging with en suite rooms — bedrooms with bathrooms attached, as in the plans above — or bedrooms that have doors to the outside. To save on space, pay attention to where you locate the bathroom and closet in your bedroom. Rooms that have bathroom or closet access before the sleeping area, above left, require a longer hall. If you organize the circulation so the bathroom and closet are accessed through the sleeping area, above right, you don’t need a separate hall, and you can add the circulation space into the room to make it feel larger too.
2. Focus on the View A bedroom always feels nicer when the first thing you experience is a pleasant view out the window — as opposed to a view looking straight at the bed. If you’re designing a new bedroom or reworking an old one, try to come up with a layout that focuses on the vista — whether it’s something as stunning as a lake or as simple as your backyard.
3. Keep Privacy in Mind It’s always nice when you can leave the bedroom door open without forsaking all of your privacy. The small foyer in this drawing provides separation from the family room. I always try to avoid designing a layout in which you look directly into the bedroom from a more public space, like a great room, kitchen or family room.
4. Connect With the Outdoors While this might not be feasible in all climates, connecting a room with the outdoors is a great way to make the space feel larger and admit more natural light. If your bedroom is on the ground floor (or is on the second story and has an adjacent terrace), adding a set of French doors can instantly increase visual space.
5. Consider the Furniture Layout Your bedroom’s architecture should take your furniture into account. Bedroom floor plans usually have a bed wall — but what about dressers, nightstands, TVs, chairs and a desk? Work with your architect or designer to make sure there is enough space beside the bed for nightstands and ample circulation so you can access three sides of the mattress.
6. Increase Light and Ventilation Locating your bedroom at the corner of your home can give you windows on two or more adjacent walls. This gives you the added benefit of cross ventilation and a softer natural light.
7. Take Your Time Great design takes a while and usually requires refining before you come up with the perfect plan for your lifestyle. Don’t rush through the design — it’s worth taking a little extra time up front to make sure you have a more efficient and functional plan in the end.
The truth is, great design doesn’t necessarily mean a space that’s overly complex and expensive to build. A space that functions better, costs less to build, is more efficient to run and is easier to maintain can be an outstanding example of great design.
Not into green-painted walls or ceilings? Not a problem. Green has been enjoying a long run as a popular hue for home furnishings, so you can find lots of pretty green bedroom textiles and decorative accessories to work in to your space. Pull a shade of green you like from an existing decorative item, such as your comforter, and have your paint retailer match it. Then you can paint any furniture that needs some TLC. You'd be amazed what a couple of coats of paint in a pleasing hue can do for an old dresser, bed frame or bookcase.
Celery green is one of my favorite alternative neutrals. When you want something light and soothing and shades of white, beige or gray just won't cut it, look for a soft green with a slight yellowish cast to it, such as this one. It's an elegant grown-up green.
Here's a cooler minty green that works well with a variety of decorative styles to create a restful space. If an all-white room feels stark to you but you aren't a fan of bold color on your walls, consider a shade of light cool green.
Here's another example of a green ceiling paired with light-colored walls. While the previous example had a minimal palette of just green and white, this bedroom has many different shades of yellow-green mixed with whites and wood tones. It's colorful but feels soft and harmonious.
Instead of painting the four bedroom walls green and leaving the ceiling white, mix it up a bit and paint the ceiling and one wall or part of one wall your chosen green hue. Be sure to pick up the color elsewhere in the room. Even small accents of it will add visual rhythm, causing the eye to move throughout the space and the viewer to appreciate all of the lovely details.
I find this fetching green bedroom appealing for the mix of bold and soft color as well as the charming furniture and accessories. The green walls really help the wood beams stand out, but the remainder of the palette remains light and soothing. It's a relaxed, airy room that I think would appeal to many — perfect for a guest room.
