Designing Your Master Bedroom
There is something very personal about redesigning a master bedroom as it is one of the rooms of a home most likely to reflect your personality. Yet the sheer choice of ideas out there can make it a confusing process. Do not fear, however, as we’re on-hand to help.
Are you looking for a funky, vibrant bedroom, a tranquil and relaxing space or a practical design that makes use of all of the space you have? You could follow in the footsteps of the DIY bloggers, who are increasingly filling the internet with their own ideas. From there, you have access to a whole realm of inspiration.
The bed has become the main focal point of the master bedroom. Gone are the days of choosing a white divan with a valance to blend into the background of your bedroom. Many designers have now created stunning beds win a whole range of fabrics, patterns and colours to offer a bed with a real wow factor.
Keeping costs down
DIY bloggers can be particularly useful when you want to revamp your master bedroom on a budget, or you simply want to make use of pre-loved furniture with a little upcycling effort.
Abby Lawson at Just a Girl and her Blog, for example, gives the lowdown on her own bedroom transformation, including a new feature wall and the addition of lots of feminine flowers.
Central to the room is a gloriously comfortable divan bed, such as those available at CMS Downs, specialist suppliers of beds in Woking. The bed sits perfectly in the room because of its size and shape and has been complemented by crisp, neutral bedding and floral cushions. The feminine design is contrasted by a reworked dresser, which adds a masculine influence to the room.
The bed has become much more of a designer item in the mainstream market as manufacturers have bought in upholstered bases and matching headboards in multitudes of colours and fabric styles. They also now consider the bed as part of the bedroom furniture, offering space saving options such as ottomans and electric ottomans, making it more realistically useable with a heavy mattress.
The business of beds
Upcycling car boot finds or family heirlooms can be perfect for adding the personal touch to a room, but there are areas where compromises shouldn’t be made. The bed, for example, must offer more than just a focal point for a room.
Bed manufacturers have recognised that they can’t just rely on the feel of the bed, as the overall appearance is equally important in today’s consumer market. Whether you wish to blend your new bed into the design of the room or make the design of the room blend around the colour scheme of the bed, you can now choose from mid-market beds, rather than expensive, designer top of the range beds.
Whether you are looking for beds in Woking, beds in Newbury, or beds in Winchester, the specialists at CMS Downs are available to offer help and advice. Give us a call today on freephone 0800 731 0953.

Flooring for complete house
We have used Downs in the past and once again the salesperson was very helpful, answering all my queries. The fitter was equally helpful and able to give knowledgeable advice for a future product. I highly recommend Downs as a local business.

Carpet order
From the first enquiry to the fitting of the new carpet, we were warmly welcomed by friendly staff, which helped to make our choice and decisions easy. Carpet came much sooner that originally told but that was great as it meant we could get on with the other changes in the particular room. Many thanks for an excellent service.
Richard M

What Our Customers Say
James AvisonKev, Ash & Mark, our fitters, have been brilliant. Working at light-speed, they've been thorough, meticulous and professional. It's not every group of tradespeople that you'd be happy to recommend, especially in a predominantly female office environment but these three were respectful, thoughtful and good company to have around. We'd be glad to have them back and the quality of their workmanship is excellent. Thank you.
