You might be putting off decorating your master bedroom and getting it done because you don’t think you have the budget yet to make it into something special. People tend to put off decorating their master bedrooms because visitors usually don’t see this room. However, it should be your sanctuary, where you go to escape, rest and relax. Also master bedrooms are typically the larger bedrooms in homes, so you’re missing a big opportunity if you’re not taking advantage of the space. I love the sitting area I have in my master bedroom, and when I want to escape and relax, it works great for me!

How to Choose Your Decorating Style & Use a Design Plan
Posted by Ragan Corliss on January 16, 2010 · 6 Comments
Choosing your decorating style can be a fun experience but also challenging. The biggest problems I see people run into is they don’t stick with a style, but instead pursue their interior decorating without a plan and begin purchasing items that often times don’t enhance their décor or go with their style. Consequently, many of the purchases end up not working and wasting money. A real key to accomplishing a beautiful home interior that you’re happy with is to first decide what style you want to have, and then create a decorating plan that helps you to stick with that style, (and budget).
