Give Your Bedroom a By Wendy Kerr
Bedrooms have often been treated as an afterthought, even in the most elegant of homes. They’re low on the priority list because many view them as private spaces, not to be seen by guests. However, with families spending more time at home, the trend is shifting. Gone are the days of bedrooms designed purely for rest. Master bedrooms are routinely built larger and equipped with all the amenities of a boutique hotel. In addition to being a place to rest your head, these spaces may offer workspace, entertainment centers, sitting and dressing areas. The design of these suites range from understated casual elegance to over-the-top opulence, all aimed to appeal to the individual’s style. t a l l a h a s s e e wo m a n
