11 Items You Need for A Fearless Master Bedroom

To celebrate this project hitting newsstands in Better Homes & Gardens November 2017 issue, we are sharing a breakdown of this bold and dynamic master bedroom from our Fearless Style project. Our interior design clients were undeniably bold when it came to this space, giving us the freedom to push the design to its ultimate creative limits. See our tips for creating a fearless-yet-soothing master along with the 11 essentials behind this space…

Fearless Style Fit for a Family 20

5 Tips To Strike Perfect Balance Between Bold + Soothing

  1. Palette. Keep bold pattern soothing with a soft palette that still packs a punch.
  2. Lighting. A daring room needs statement lighting. We selected a neutral and intricate piece to create interest without overpowering the rest of the space.
  3. Hardware. Well-designed spaces need cool details on every inch.  Update furniture with fresh and unique hardware to achieve an elevated look.
  4. Reflections. Mirrors make spaces feel larger and are essential for dressing and living areas. Chose a mirror that complements the room’s details.
  5. Go bold or go home. When covering a room in a bold wallcovering, don’t forget the fifth wall — the ceiling. Putting wallcovering on the ceiling makes a space feel more intimate and makes an instant statement.
