Tranquil Bedroom Blues

tranquil master bedroom chic design

It’s been a long week. The flu knocked me out and has kept me in bed. Let’s just say it hasn’t been fun.

Long hours in bed however, made me think how important it is to invest in the design of your most private retreat, your bedroom. I have had these images of a beautiful bedroom designed by interior designer, Lee Ann Thornton of Thornton Designs of Greenwich, Connecticut tucked away and thought this was the right time to share them with you. The room's cool aqua walls set a calming feel to the room. Loving the hint of wallpaper in the hallway too.

Did you expect the burst of color in the window treatments? I didn’t, but find the juxtaposition fun and fresh aside the aqua walls and neutral bed. The pops of gold & bronze are carried out further in the starburst mirror, Moroccan poufs and geometric rug - love these touches of glam. I think a night in this bedroom would make anyone feel a little better. Don't you think?

For those searching… here are more tranquil bedroom designs.

Take care and be well!

The first picture made me say Aaaaah, Sigh!!The second picture with the pop of color made me say,that was unexpected so that is all good in design. However for me I like the Aaaaah, Sigh feel the most. In fact if you go to my sidebar you will see my Aaaaah! Sigh! Master bedroom. When I walk in ther I take a deep breath and relax, that is what I love for a bedroom!! Fun images, Kathysue

I'm with Kathysue...I like the Ahhhhh in my bedroom. My bedroom has very similar colors to the first photo and I love that it is a soothing retreat.

I'm excited to learn about Lee Ann's work...as she's just down the road from me!

Getting ready to settle into my soothing retreat for the evening!

I own a store in Southern California called DL Rhein and I painted it the same Tranquil blue. Everyone always loves the color. It really creates an inviting atmosphere!
