Master Bedroom design ideas
A master bedroom should feel like a retreat: quiet, uncluttered and restful. In most NCR apartments it also holds the largest wardrobe in the home, so storage has to be planned as carefully as the mood.
At a Glance
A restful retreat with storage that keeps the room clear.
- Anchor the room with a full-width headboard wall in fabric, timber or textured plaster.
- Use blackout and sheer curtains together to control harsh afternoon sun.
- Keep bedside lighting glare-free with pendants or wall lights on dimmers.
Layout and storage
- Place the bed on the wall opposite the door where possible, with space to walk on both sides.
- Run the wardrobe floor to ceiling with a loft for luggage — see our wardrobe design guide.
- Choose sliding shutters if the space between bed and wardrobe is under about 90 cm.
- A storage bed with hydraulic lift keeps quilts and seasonal clothes out of the way.
The headboard wall
A full-width headboard panel in fabric, timber, fluted veneer or textured plaster anchors the room. Integrate bedside shelves and concealed lighting so you need fewer loose lamps.
Light, sun and comfort
- Layer sheer and blackout curtains — west-facing bedrooms in NCR get intense afternoon sun.
- Use warm white light and wall or pendant lights at the bedside instead of downlights above the pillow.
- Put the main lights on two-way switches so you can control them from bed.

What is the ideal wardrobe for a master bedroom?
A full-height wardrobe of around 60 cm depth with a loft, combining long and double hanging, shelves and drawers based on what you own. Sliding shutters suit tighter rooms.
Should the TV be in the bedroom?
It is a personal choice. If you include one, wall-mount it on a slim panel opposite the bed and keep wiring concealed so the room still feels calm.
