Achieve a harmonizing color palette within the master bedroom suite by selecting bedroom and bathroom hues that coordinate graciously with one another. Bedroom and bathroom colors need not be the same. However, when both areas reflect an identical intensity of color, visual harmony can be maintained. Stick to your favorite color preferences and mimic the intensity of color throughout the space. If your favorite colors are purples and yellows, consider selecting soft lavendar and pale yellow as the basis for the color scheme that reflects a peaceful bedroom suite. Complete the palette by adding one or two additional hues (such as a hint of green and creamy white) to add visual interest. Separate into two unique spaces by selecting one hue as the dominant wall covering color within the bedroom and a distinctively different color within the palette as the main wall covering in the bath space. This allows both areas to portray a customized uniqueness, yet remain visually connected through the application of the same overall color scheme. Allow the remaining colors in the desired palette to highlight and integrate decorative accessories and other design elements (i.e. floor coverings and window coverings) within the entire bedroom suite.

The "5th wall" (in designer's terms: ceiling!) of your master bedroom and master bathroom deserves the same careful consideration and imagination as it's surrounding wall covering "neighbors". Depending upon the look you are trying to create, it will determine the character of your ceiling space. Many homeowners enjoy lounging in a serene, calming master suite area. If you are searching for that perfect and peaceful space, consider applying the same color paint to the ceiling as the wall coverings, using two or three shades lighter in intensity. Sponged clouds and other special effect paint techniques can be applied to ceiling spaces or walls in order to create wonderfully relaxing and ethereal looks.
