I have several favorite rooms in my home, from my open concept living space where meals are prepared and eaten and family time is abundant; my theater room where I can close the door, turn out the lights, and escape into another world for a couple of hours; my master closet where everything is perfectly organized, from my clothes to make-up.
But my most favorite room is my master bedroom. It's my space; I can relax, escape from fighting teenagers, read a book in a quiet space, and get the best night’s sleep ... all 6 hours of them, so I can get up and tackle the world again for another day.
So, what makes a master bedroom so special? Is it the lighting that sets the mood, the wall colors, or the soft furnishings?
For me, it’s the furniture. When I walk into any bedroom, the first thing I notice is the bed. Is it upholstered, a wood panel, low profile, big and grand? The furniture, for me, are the eyes of a room. They tell the story you want to tell; they dictate the style, the bedding, rugs, décor, and amazing bedroom furniture is the difference between a master bedroom that feels like a cheap hotel room to a master bedroom that is a 5-star retreat.
Regardless of your personal style, I’ve come up with my 5 favorite bedroom collections that would transform your master bedroom into a room you can’t wait to spend time in.
This beautiful collection from Benchcraft is a stylish update on the classic American farmhouse furniture.
Simple and clean in design, it whispers secrets of an era gone by. A beautiful white finish allows you to use this beauty against so many backdrops, you’ll be spoiled for choice.
What I love, too, about this collection you can also get it with an upholstered headboard and a storage footboard. Let your creativity run wild, and at only $499 for the Queen Panel bed or $599 for the Queen Upholstered bed, the choice is yours. Pair with soft linens in muted color pallettes to perfect this look.
Inspired by traditional craftsman furniture of the early 20th century, this collection offers a fresh take on a more traditional style. The soft tobacco finish allows the natural grain of the wood to show through.
This is a collection you will love and can appreciate for years to come. Adding soft organic bedding will give you a warm and cozy feel you’ll want to linger longer.

Statements about current fashion trends rarely contain the word “traditional.” This collection makes that statement without words.
Its casual nod to the styles of yesteryear reflect the relaxed lifestyle it emulates. This collection will inspire you to dream big ... the relaxed wood tones will accent any backdrop it is put against. With hints of classic styling this is the perfect ratio of sophisticated and casual.
Soft, flowing sheer curtains; neutral shades of organic bedding; the warm glow of a bedside lamp; and an ultra-soft rug will make this a space you can’t live without.
Who could resist this beauty for $599 for a Queen bed?
Distinctive warm solid mango wood with hand-forged iron legs, bases, and accents create a modern-industrial look that screams out, “I’m home!”
This beautifully unique collection--although a bit of a splurge--is stunning on so many levels. The clean, straight lines, simple design with a tip toe of mid-century charm will bring you joy for years to come.
You can take the direction of this collection in so many ways--from grays, taupe, beiges and whites, you can let your creativity run wild.

Wherever your bedroom dreams take you, you can create a retreat you’ll be running home to and can’t wait to show off. It was hard to pick only 5 ,as I have so many favorites, but these 5 are a great starting point to give you so many options at affordable prices, style, quality and, best of all, a master bedroom retreat you’ll be proud to call yours.
