Our vision for the master bedroom was clear: to keep the sleeping area purely functional, dedicated to rest and relaxation. We prioritized simplicity—a comfortable bed and a wardrobe for our clothes. We intentionally chose to leave out any distractions like a TV.
The room began as a clean, blank slate with simple white walls and vinyl flooring, part of the OCS scheme we opted for. The minimalist space, bathed in natural light from a large window, offered plenty of potential.
We deliberately selected this bed for its wooden headboard, which complements the flooring and aligns with the overall aesthetic of the room. The earthy-toned bedding was a thoughtful gift, adding both texture and a pop of colour that blends seamlessly with our home's colour palette, bringing together the warm, cohesive vibe we envisioned.
We wanted our bedroom to feel like a cozy space to unwind, so we added this pendant light above the bedside table. The soft, warm glow creates a relaxing atmosphere - it adds just the right touch of calm to help us settle in for the night.
We opted for track lighting above the wardrobe to avoid using large overhead lights that might disrupt the cozy atmosphere. The built-in wardrobe, painted in a muted grey, provides ample storage while keeping the space feeling open. We chose a straight design instead of an L-shape to prevent the room from feeling cramped. This has easily become our favourite room in the house, and we wouldn’t change a thing about how it came together.
