Perfect Master Suites

FREE IMAGES For me, the perfect master suite is a combination of a beautiful, inviting bed, a serene and calming color palette, and an edited collection of meaningful personal touches (ie, no unnecessary clutter).

I'm really attracted to beds that serve as focal points - upholstered and poster are my favorites. A couple of sparsely used accent colors help give the room just a touch of energy.

Even though you spend most of your time in the bedroom in the dark, I do love a bedroom with large windows.
