The odd shape of a master bedroom with a high, slanted ceiling offers an array of decorating possibilities. The slanted ceiling can be used as a canvas for decorative elements that will enhance whatever design theme you choose. The offset appearance created by the allows for unconventional furniture placement and the freedom to decorate without the typical restraints of a square configuration.
Paint Color Choice
Paint choices are wide open for a master bedroom that has a high ceiling and a slant. Since the ceilings are high, you can select a darker color paint without running the risk of making the room feel confined. Since your ceiling has a slant, which brings part of the ceiling lower, you can also select a light color wall paint and still not make the room feel too big. It depends upon the way you use the wall space for decor. If you'll be hanging a lot of items, you may want a lighter color paint, but if your wall decor will be sparse, a darker color may work better.
Wall Decor
The wall that attaches to the slanted portion of your ceiling, depending upon how low the ceiling comes down, may not be ideal for decoration. The wall your furniture is against will contain little or no wall decor. Depending upon where your door is located, you may have two full walls for hanging wall decor. Choose a decor theme that matches your paint color and build a wall decor that features framed photographs, art work or a mirror. Consider using the slanted portion of the ceiling for hanging a special piece of art or something decorative that matches the theme.
Furniture Placement
Arrange furniture to balance the slant of the ceiling. Place your bed with its headboard against the highest wall in the room. Small corner tables work well on the side of the room where the ceiling is at its lowest point. Larger furniture pieces, such as dressers or tables, work better on the same side as the highest wall. Depending upon where your door is located (on the side of the room with the highest wall or on the side of the room where the ceiling is at its lowest point) you may want to avoid clutter by minimizing the placement of furniture.
Decorative Elements
Find room for a sculpture or decorative vases, an ornate bookcase or other items that will take up floor space and provide a pleasing aesthetic. A statue placed on a corner table is one idea. Corner metal sculptures can add a modern feel to the room.
