Ah, January. Everything is fresh and new and…cold. Or wet, depending.
Here in Florida? It’s wet. It’s rained for days on end now, but I happen to like the rain! If I don’t have to go out in it. If I can stay inside and let the rain fall outside, I’m pretty happy!
And when it comes to the inside of my home, I’ve always wanted it to be cozy. I’ve wanted people who visit to immediately feel at home and safe and calm in our home – and I hope I’ve accomplished that so far! But here recently, I’ve been working on making one particular room in our home “cozy”. That room is the Master Bedroom.
We’ve had the same decor in our Master Bedroom since we got married. Everything has been shades of teals and browns. One day I’ll give y’all a tour of that decor. And teal and brown is fine – but I was ready for a change!
So I started thinking…how about shades of white and blue, with some yellow thrown in? Bright, cheerful, clean, cozy and not TOO girly (for the sake of my hubby, right?)
Well, as far as I’m concerned, the first step in making sure a Master Bedroom is cozy is taking care of the bed itself. I’m a pretty frugal chick, but I’ll be honest: one thing I don’t mind splurging on is bed linens. Why? Because you can’t put a value on a good night’s sleep! And in looking for some fantastic bedding, I knew I had to check out Parachute Home.
Look what I found!
Can’t you see yourself sinking into the middle of those?! Along with a few of these…
So crisp and clean. Are you sleepy yet?
Now, at our house, we do not exist at the same body temperature. Yours truly is normally cold, while my husband is normally hot, so I found something else that would remedy that issue perfectly!
Do you not LOVE the cream one on the far left?! Perfect to add to the bed (just on my side), or for a quick wrap-around on the couch!
And for that extra touch of cozy…
Just the ticket! There’s nothing quite like a candle to make you feel all warm inside…especially one like this…since we have no fireplace!
So now that I’ve figured out what the plan is for the Master Bedroom, I’ll move on to the guest bedroom, so our guests can feel just as cozy as we do!

I’m determined to redo my master bedroom this year. Seems I spend all my time and efforts with the main area – great room/kitchen/dining room.
I love the throws, the pillows, the bed linens – I love it all! I need to check it out!
I’m still struggling to find that cozy spot in bed after having surgery a few weeks ago. I sure hope I find it soon. I’m getting deliriously tired. Sleep deprivation is definitely kicking in.
Those are pretty, calming and relaxing colors for the bedroom. It is so much fun to re-decorate a room, especially the bedroom! I was not familiar with Parachute Home, I will have to check them out.
Oh my goodness that all looks so cosy, cosy is just want I want from my home, homely, cosy and welcoming.
Thanks for the decorating advice. Always try to make my home cozy, though it isn’t that easy!
Re-decorating!! I am totally in. I am planning to change the curtains for all the rooms as step one. I love the throws , they are so calming 🙂
Oh wow, I just wrote about this company myself, and how funny we are both from Florida too!
Redoing your bedroom sounds fun. I like the colors in our master bedroom but I don’t have anything on the walls so it looks plain.
I always focussed
In accessories. I think you are right the bed needs to be the cozy focus
We re-did our master bedroom 2 yrs ago – and I am so loving it – the bed was cozy but now the walls and the decor is making it just wonderful
I love candles! They add so much to your space.
I could use a couple new pillows and bed linens–i will go and check this site out.
I good throw is a must. I do like that cream one, but since I have kids and dogs, I’d opt for one of the darker colors.
We just bought a new duvet cover last fall, and the pillow shams arrived in December. They’re gray and white and I’m in LOVE with them. I feel so elegant when I get into bed now. 🙂
A good warm, thick blanket is necessary for me to feel cozy. I really do like a good thread count sheet set too!
I love getting something new for the bedroom in the winter such as a new cozy blanket or a nice scented candle. You can never be too cozy!
A cozy master bedroom is definitely worth splurging a little on. After all, a good night’s sleep can make or break everything you do!
Oh I love those throws and candles I am addicted to candles. I have my computer office in a spot in my bedroom and next to it is our old rocking chair which used to be my husbands. We have a nice big king size bed I have been looking for a smaller bed because hubby and I really would like to free up a bit more room in the bedroom and we would like to be able to snuggle next to each other with out having to climb over the huge space between us. I really like the blankets, pillows and the cozy throw the cream would look really pretty in my all white bedroom or maybe the grey heck I want one of each. Great review. No I’m not sleepy I’m kinda excited got some creative ideas on how to decorate my bedroom now thank you so much for sharing.
I need a really nice & warm blanket in my cozy place. Something I can curl up with a book to read 🙂
What is it about master bedrooms that so many of us leave them til every other room is done? I’m guilty of that, too!
Now those items look very nice and classy. Cozy is important too!
Thanks for these awesome decorating advice, I could really use a little something different in my bedroom!
This is something I really need to implement, I needed something fresh and new to bring the bedroom alive!
I love your ideas for the master bedroom. I definitely need to check out that candle scent too. Also, I feel the same way about rain that you do! 🙂
For me comfort it is a nice comfy blanket as well as flannel PJs. I also like my special cozy socks that I manage to get a new pair of each Christmas.
I am so with you on the comfort and cozy!
That comforter is simply gorgeous too! I can see going to bed with a comfy cozy smile on my face under that!
Hopefully in a few months I can take some of your lovely advice and make our new home cozy!!
I do love the cream one on the left. I can totally see that one in my house, and on me. 🙂
I love those throws, they are so pretty!! great tips!
Oh my those bedding look so comfy. I believe that your bedroom should be one of the first spaces to get decorated.
This makes me want to redo my bedroom. OH and I need to start now. Love the throw as well.
