Replace bedding with organic cotton or bamboo sheets, shams, and duvet for a crisp finish to your master bedroom - and an excellent night's sleep!

Quaint and Cozy

When thinking about treatments for your bedroom windows, consider shutters; these fixtures bring a quaint feel to your space while also blocking out light and providing privacy. You can use shutters to create a cute alcove in a window or gambrel, which could add a lovely sitting area to your master bedroom.

Pair this cozy atmosphere with soft and sumptuous bedding, like flannel sheets, fleece throws, and textured shams.

Layered and Versatile

Another way to completely change the looks of your bedroom is to layer your window treatments; combine sheer and opaque for added visual intrigue and texture. This pairing also provides you with the chance to alter the light in the room and change the mood. Layer your bed linens too; use both cotton and fleece flat sheets, cotton throws, quilts, and lots of accent pillows in different fabrics and textures.

Traditional and Timeless

If you like to keep things classic and traditional, you can't beat cotton for bedding and curtains. Consider cute cotton valances over the top pane of the window with a floor-length sheer panel underneath; choose neutral tones of mocha, taupe, steel, and ivory for your window treatments.

Select prints and patterns for your bedding - florals or stripes are both timeless favorites - and coordinate with your neutral color palette.

Casual and Beachy

Evoke a beachy vibe with opaque panels on the windows in colors that mimic the beach: soft blues, rich greens, neutral beige, and frosty white. Use plush pillows and a thick comforter in a pattern or gradient color scheme for your bed; consider adding a tented nook for reading or hiding out, which feels a lot like a beachside cabana. Accent your bed and furniture with crisp cotton throw pillows for a nautical touch.

Serene and Sophisticated

Treat yourself to the serene and sophisticated bedroom that you deserve; invest in quality Egyptian cotton sheets and pillowcases, and add rich velour or velvet window treatments. Choose long, jewel-toned drapes that can be tied back with drapery cords during the day and allowed to hang loose over the window at night.

Complement your ensemble with a thick rug by the bed, shag or faux fur, in a coordinating color.

Cool and Contemporary

Create a cool and contemporary bedroom with a bold color scheme and super simple window treatments. First, start with functional, streamlined blinds for the windows, and ask vendors about cordless varieties for added ease.

Then, keep your bedding simple and luxurious, like organic cotton sheets, cotton-weave blankets, and a bamboo or silk bedspread. Warm up your floors with an interesting hand-painted floor cloth.
