Ease into an accent colour. You don't have to go the whole hog with a new hue in a room, in fact, you don't even need to paint a wall to bring in an accent shade. Try adding colour through art and an accent chair or two – if you don't like the colour in your bedroom then you can always try putting the items elsewhere in your home.

Achieve a more spacious look by choosing a platform bed. The low profile of a platform bed looks sleek, laid back and minimalist in comparison to their bulky based divan counterparts. They also make the room look bigger since the line of sight is free to flow straight over them and beyond.

High ceilinged bedrooms can sometimes feel a bit too open and chilly, consider painting with muted colour or shades of grey to visually lower a lofty ceiling.

Approach the scheme as a whole rather than as separate elements. That is, instead of choosing your favourite bed, then bedsides, then closet, then a colour, consider looking at the room as one item. This bed, headboard wall, bedside units and closets all run on as one beautifully coordinated piece.

It's all about the ottoman. There's just something so high-end about placing an ottoman at the foot of a bed. Perhaps it's because the average size of master bedroom doesn't have the necessary floor space. So, if you've got it, flaunt it!

Give your bedroom the midas touch, with gold accents and glowy golden lights.

Fashionistas will love fashion forward glass closets, which display a treasured capsule collection from dusk till dawn. Warning: Not recommended for messy clothes hoarders who keep an overstuffed closet and mismatched hangers!

Crown your bedroom with heavenly lighting. This halo of light makes a show-stopping statement.

Embark on a multi-panel project. The headboard wall is the perfect place to roll out a combination of textures that bring the room together. This one incorporates a centre section upholstered in the same taupe fabric as the bed; dark wood side stripes twin with the flooring.

Continue the accent wall upwards and onwards to create a feature ceiling too.

Consider moving the bed away from the wall in order to harness more useable floor area. This bedroom incorporates a home office desk behind the headboard.

A comfortable reading area offers a place to relax in the bedroom without ruffling up the bedcovers.

If you're lucky enough to be building a new dream bedroom from scratch, consider incorporating a courtyard garden. The courtyard will invite extra natural light into the room, and you'll feel the revitalising effects of having nature surround you.

In this bedroom, an extra picture window has been put in above the headboard for extra light and garden views.

Visualizer: Vasyl Ambroziak

Taking garden views to the extreme, these floor to ceiling windows run the full length of the room and an outdoor plant bed. The botanical view paints the room green, like a living wall mural.

Bedrooms with bathtubs always look decadent. In this one, a small step up to the bathroom area helps to define the space. LED strip lighting marks the edge of the step for both a pleasing aesthetic and for safety.

Dress with dramatic drapes. These dark master bedroom curtains hang heavy at full height windows, making the room feel cosily cocooned.

Mirrored headboard walls create the illusion of a larger bedroom area. Include a horizontal stripe of mirror above headboard level, or mount a floor-to-ceiling frameless cut behind each bedside unit.

Slatted doors are a cool way to divide the main sleeping area of the bedroom from a walk-in closet, or an open plan ensuite bathroom. The slatted design allows airflow and light to travel between the two spaces. It also allows just a peek of what lies beyond without overwhelming the peaceful sleep zone with all of the added detail of the adjoined room.

Divide and conquer. When incorporating a home office area into the bedroom, it's a good idea to create some kind of visual divide. In this bedroom, the simple desk appears to extrude straight out of a dark wall section, with the bed and bedsides attached to lighter wood panelling.

Tie it together with a wrap of colour. A wide purple bedroom stripe wraps these walls and ceiling. Purple pillows and scatter cushions continue the theme.

Don't underestimate the power of a great colour. Simple pieces furnish this blue bedroom, but the rich and saturated colour treatment makes it into a special room.

Another clever mirrored headboard design – this time with etched glass.

Seek a Yin and Yang balance of darkness and light. Huge sunny windows can afford a room to embrace a deep and dark colour scheme, like this deep stained wood and dark grey bedroom.
