Every room needs to be decorated, keeping three things in mind:

* Harmony of all the décor ideas that are to be used in the room to create a perfect visual and aesthetic balance;
* Its functionality and uses; and
* The mood, vibrancy and energy level of the setting that you want in the room.

The style to be followed, furniture to be kept in the room, storage area and cabinet design in the room, furniture and furnishings of the room and layout and seating arrangement of the room, all are decided upon and judged according to the above said three principles. We will take examples of a room and analyze on its décor using the three basic principles of room décor stated above.

Master Bedroom With A Masculine Feel

Functionalities Decided Upon:

* Quiet retreat for complete relaxation and sleep,
* Comfortable reading area, and
* Romantic enough for couples.

Things That Can Help You To Achieve The Above:

* Window to provide natural light and proper ventilation of air,
* A pair of bedside lamps to supplement the light to allow for reading in bed,
* Bookshelves behind the headboard to keep books and family photos.
* A bench, low dresser or a hope chest at the foot of the bed not only adds the style to the bed but also is quite functional. Sprinkle rose petals on it for instant romantic makeover of the bedroom or keep a laptop computer on it to keep in touch with your office and lady love at the same time or even drop the robe or lap blanket on it while changing clothes.

Mood of The Room:

* Masculine,
* Restful,
* Modern, and
* Demure.

Accessories That Can Help You To Achieve The Above:

* Leather headboard in a dark solid color that darkens the room,
* Using simple solid neutral colors for the sedate mood, and
* Plain sisal carpet in a light color to brighten up the room a little.

To achieve harmony:

* Avoid all clutter and useless products in the room.
* Neutrals make the room look demure and restful at the same time working as the unification factor, though you can use some accents in bright colors such as red and green for dramatic touches but subdued to the level that they don't disrupt the harmony.
* Classic furniture and contemporary furnishing work well for the room as frills make it look feminine.
