Do you ever feel like there is nothing hugely wrong with your master bedroom but you don’t… love it!
It feels, well – boring! You’ve had the SAME look in your room for so long, you are not even sure how many years its been now.
Or you have been meaning to get around to finishing your master bedroom since you moved into your house. The walls got painted and that was it!
Now it’s just that overlooked space, the dumping ground for clutter, a reminder of unfinished jobs… You would rather close the door!
Here are 10 beautiful master bedroom ideas to inspire you from guest participants in the One Room Challenge.
These master bedroom ideas encompass a range of decorating styles from modern to farmhouse to coastal. Some rooms involve big changes, others focused more on the decor.
Some have DIYed their way through the challenge of transforming their bedroom in 6 weeks, others have gone with new. Some of these bedrooms are small and some are spacious. One room is even a bedroom in a rental house.
You wouldn’t know it now but what these master bedrooms all have in common though, is that they started out as boring, drab, unfinished bedrooms.
Jut like yours or mine! And now… Read on to see the amazing results and find inspiration and ideas for your own master bedroom makeover.
