Master Bedroom Design Elements

We designed our master bedroom in a mid-century modern style, characterized by a neutral color palette that sets the tone for a serene and calming atmosphere. This palette allows for effortless color coordination, which we've carried through to our closet organization featuring built-in storage solutions and thoughtful color-coordinated organization.

To enhance the ambiance, we've incorporated statement lighting elements, including pendant lights that make a stylish statement. Additionally, we've optimized natural light by positioning the room to take advantage of the morning sun. This combination of design elements creates a peaceful retreat that's perfect for relaxation.

Room Layout and Measurements

Thorough room measurements were taken to guarantee that a king-sized bed would fit comfortably, with careful consideration given to the walk-thru closet and positioning the bed under small windows. We wanted to make sure room functionality and comfortable placement. Our spacious layout allows for easy movement around the bed, which faces large floor-to-ceiling windows on the east side.

Room Feature Measurement
Room length 15 ft 6 in
Room width 12 ft 6 in
Bed placement Under small windows
Window size (east side) 6 ft 6 in x 4 ft 6 in
Walk-thru closet size 4 ft 6 in x 6 ft 6 in

We're thrilled with the outcome, which provides a perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and retro elegance.

Furniture and Decor Choices

Choosing furniture and decor for our mid-century modern master suite required careful consideration, as authenticity was key to capturing the retro vibe we desired. We opted for a mix of vintage and modern pieces to achieve a balanced look.

Our West Elm bed, though not vintage, provided a sleek, modern foundation. We added Thedor prints and orange polka-dot shams to infuse a touch of retro flair. A neutral color scheme allowed us to introduce pops of color through accessories, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Bathroom Design and Features

Our master bathroom's compact footprint, measuring around 6.6 feet wide, is cleverly optimized with a double vanity and toilet, alongside a spacious double shower that adds functionality without sacrificing style.

We've carefully designed the vanity to include ample storage, featuring faux drawers that cleverly conceal essential items. This thoughtful approach guarantees the bathroom feels spacious and uncluttered, despite its compact size.

The double shower is a standout feature, providing a luxurious and relaxing experience. We're thrilled with how the retro-inspired tile design and vintage fixtures have come together to create a truly unique and inviting space.

The result is a bathroom that exudes retro elegance while meeting our modern needs.

As we continue to refine our MidModMich master suite, we're excited to explore new ways to enhance the space, building on the progress we've made so far. We're always on the lookout for vintage finds that fit our mid-century modern aesthetic, and we're currently searching for the perfect art piece to hang above our bookcase.
