New Traditional Bedroom Design

Warm neutrals with golden accents draw you into this warm, intimate space. The slight sheen on the drapery panels and bedding add a luminous quality, and the linear details of the fabrics and furniture are caught by the light from the wall mounted arc sconces on either side of this master bedroom. A true retreat within the home, this cozy spot will make for a memorable 'staycation'.

Bed hangings fashioned of lace and a hand-loomed French linen rug add to the airiness of this light-filled master bedroom. The subtle contrasts in color and texture create an elegant and serene retreat. Photograph by Hyunjung Bay.



Fitzsimmons Design used a fresh periwinkle blue to fill the volume of space in this master bedroom. Light and airy window treatments complete the happy feeling in the room. Designer tip: When designing a large bedroom, think outside the box; choose a settee and a café table at the end of the bed for a private breakfast area.



An inviting guest room mixes warm golds with crisp black and white. Adding just a pop of color, the pillows repeat the spring green color found in the antique lamp.



Repeating the pattern in the rug, ceiling and throw pillow creates a very interesting look in a room.



A colorful rug adds a playful touch to the twin beds in this bedroom.

Candice Olson Decorating Ideas 2011 , Kitchen , Dining room , Bathroom , Bedroom , Living room

Can't you just picture coming downstairs to the smell of coffee in your chic kitchen? Even though it isn't huge the space is really used well. I love the glass door cabinets and dark counter-tops. The fridge gives it a sleek look but the little touches like the green stools and cute lamp keep it more traditional and warm. The great thing about these types of designs is they look beautiful but it's nothing the average person couldn't do with a little elbow grease.

This dining room is a dream! Soft powdered blues and cremes are so serene and calming. It would be lovely to have a fireplace in your dining room to roar while you have your family dinners. The detail on the chairs is phenomenal as well. It's a solid light blue on the seat but the back has a pretty pattern upholstered on it and the rug below matches perfectly with the whole scene. Bon appetite!

I think this bathroom would be like having your very own spa in your house. Lots of dark finishes and stone looking tiles with a large soaker tub make it feel classic and comfortable. I think the floating counter is a really interesting look and the white coral accessory is the perfect touch. Give me my glass of wine and dim the lights because I'm ready for a soak!

This massive bedroom is the size of my entire apartment! It's so warm and inviting and the vaulted ceiling gives it a unique architectural touch that draws the eye. A bedroom is your sanctuary so it should be a representation of you and whatever makes you comfortable. A fireplace in the bedroom is so romantic and a chaise always looks like a luxurious place to flop down with a good book. I would love to retire to this paradise every night.

This is a basement hang out Candice did on a more recent episode and I am digging everything about it. It's such a warm colour pallet but it's practical at the same time. One thing that always drives me crazy is when designers fill a room with white furniture. Of course it looks beautiful but will it after your dark furred kitty has rolled around on it and the kids have spilled their juice or the dust settles and it just looks grubby? A dark couch helps you to feel less neurotic about spills and messes. The recessed lighting really works well here with a few lamps and sconces and the neutral rug ties everything together. Pop in your favorite movie and cuddle up with the ones you love!

Master Bedroom Pictures 2011 " HGTV Dream Home 2011 "

Black furnishings and men's-wear fabrics pop against walls painted a vibrant cranberry shade.

A miniature replica of HGTV Dream Home 2011, 3-foot-high by 3-foot-wide Doggie Dream Home, constructed by carpenter David Brown, features space for two small dogs. Padding is upholstered in the same houndstooth fabric as wingback chairs.

A door from the master suite leads to a private balcony, where one can enjoy a morning cup of coffee or sunset cocktail.

Geometric shapes, layering of textures and intriguing design elements keep the eye moving about the room.

The queen-size pencil-post bed is dressed with boutique hotel-quality linens, quilted bedding, a cozy wool throw and a ticking-stripe comforter.

Lined drapery panels continue the room's focus on men's-wear fabrics, a subtle nod to Vermont's history as a leading textiles manufacturer.

An oversized walk-in closet, steps from the master bedroom entrance, provides storage space for both linens and clothing.
