Dreamy Master Bedrooms

There’s nothing more intimate than your master bedroom. It’s where you rest and restore your health with a good night’s sleep. Now that the holiday madness has passed, this is a great time to revisit the most important space for your sleep and rejuvenation. Here’s a peek inside a few of my best bedroom designs to inspire yours.
Cool Bachelor Pad
![View in a bedroom, with a long hall to the left, the bedroom to the right, painted in a warm gray paint color, with a dark headboard and white linens on the bed, topped by 3 different colors of accent pillows – blue, gold, white. Metallic palm fronds adorn the walls. 2 pendant lamps hang just over the floating drawers that act as bedside table in a warm brown.](https://kimballstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Kimball-Starr-Interior-Design_Master-Bedroom_Bachelor-Pad-580x387.jpg)

While the rest of this San Francisco condo is filled with bright colors, the master bedroom tones down the shades to cooler, calmer hues, perfect for relaxing and sleep. Floating walls unrestrained by doors separate the office and private master bedroom from the living area.

The bed is topped by 3 different colors of accent pillows – blue, gold, and white, with a brown blanket and blue patterned comforter folded down to reveal crisp white linens. Metallic palm fronds adorn the walls. 2 glass pendant lamps, one green, the other bronze, hang just over the floating drawers that act as bedside table.](https://kimballstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Kimball-Starr-Interior-Design_Master-Bedroom_Bachelor-Pad-Bed-Detail-580x870.jpg)

There’s still plenty of interest, created by metallic textiles and wall hangings. The suspended bedside pendant lamps provide dramatic lighting while leaving the floating shelves-as-nightstand uncluttered. Reducing the number of items within view helps to prepare your for a restful slumber.
Mid-century Moroccan Loft
![A sky blue wall paint color is the backdrop to this restful bedroom, showing 2 ceramic blue lamps on blond bedside tables, either side of a sea-blue-green headboard and bedstead, with white and gray patterned sheets and 2 stacks of pillows, and a matching blue accent pillow in front. The dark wood floor contrasts against an oriental rug at the foot of the bed.](https://kimballstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Kimball-Starr-Interior-Design_Master-Bedroom_Mid-century-Moroccan-Bed-580x777.jpg)

This loft’s master bedroom continues the mid-century Moroccan design introduced in the main living area below. By mixing multiple patterns and textures, you get the impression of a Moroccan bazaar filled with mid-century furniture finds.
![A beautiful vintage mid-century modern secretary desk and matching chair are highlighted against a saturated, gold-with-a-hint-of-green wall paint color, over dark wood flooring. The desk contains papers and collectibles. A small painting is hung just above the desk, and to the right of the pictures, sitting atop the desk, is a small bamboo plant in a glass container.](https://kimballstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Kimball-Starr-Interior-Design_Master-Bedroom_Mid-century-Moroccan-Loft-Desk-580x772.jpg)

Using different colors on the walls gives each area a unique feeling and purpose – blue for resting, reading and sleeping, gold with a hint of green for writing letters and working at the vintage mid-century secretary desk.
Contemporary Hillside Retreat
![Low lighting from a pair of bedside lamps in white with yellow flowers sit atop a matched pair of bright yellow bedside tables. The gray suede footboard and headboard have a lilac hue to them, offset by multiple layers of white and yellow pillows with gray patterns. A yellow and silver floral comforter repeat the tones from the interlocking patterned rug that protects your feet from the cold of the shiny cherry-colored wood flooring. A door to the right and a mirror to the left complete the balanced look of the room.](https://kimballstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Kimball-Starr-Interior-Design_Master-Bedroom_Hillside-Retreat-Bed-580x389.jpg)

Set into a hillside, this four-story home boasts breathtaking views of downtown San Francisco. Contemporary design, color, and character welcome the owners and their guests.

Long dark purple draperies are accented by yellow fabric line 1/3 of the way from the floor.](https://kimballstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Kimball-Starr-Interior-Design_Master-Bedroom_Hillside-Retreat-Dresser-580x387.jpg)

In the master suite, a chic array of vintage patterns, warm colors, and low lighting create an intimate retreat to enjoy with a loved one.

Lush, floor-length purple draperies with a gold accent band are visible to the left.](https://kimballstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Kimball-Starr-Interior-Design_Master-Bedroom_Hillside-Retreat-Seating-580x387.jpg)

White leather lounge chairs and daffodil-yellow lacquer nightstands brighten the morning, while the dramatic draperies swaddle the room in darkness for a restful night. I can’t decide whether the gold detailing on the window treatment or the floral lampshades are my favorite finishing touch!
