When it’s time to design the master bedroom, many people aren’t sure where to begin. From planning a custom closet to arranging the furniture, the process can be challenging. If you need a bit of inspiration, the following tips from an interior design service should help.

What Are Some Interior Design Tips for the Bedroom?

1. Functionality

The first step is to decide what you want to accomplish in the room and how best to do that. For instance, if it's the master bedroom, you'll want a comfortable place to sleep, along with plenty of clothes storage and a place for you and your partner to get ready.

Place the dressing table or vanity and mirrors near the closet to minimize trips across the room. Leave enough space between the furniture to enable comfortable foot traffic.

Situate dressers and wardrobes, so the open doors or drawers don't block the entry to the room or closet. Constantly having to squeeze past your furniture or another person gets tiresome quickly. 

2. Storage

If the closet is small, or you have a ton of clothing, you'll need a wardrobe or chest of drawers. For small rooms, consider double-duty furniture, like a trunk that doubles as a seat at the foot of your bed.

Closet organizers are extremely useful, as well. Finally, make use of the space that might otherwise go to waste with under-the-bed storage and shelves above your dresser, bed, and night table.

3. Airflow

When arranging the furniture and shelves, avoid blocking heat vents and return-air ducts.  These are necessary for efficient heating and cooling, and if they’re blocked, it could make for uncomfortably warm or cool nights.

Also, be cognizant of the effect of ceiling fans. Some people love the feel of moving air while they fall asleep, while others do not. Situate your bed for the best effect in relation to the fan.
