What if you could save a lot of money and make all of your master bedroom furniture? What if it rivaled the bedroom furniture you were eyeing online? I did just that a little over a year ago and I’m happy to say, it’s all still standing. HAHA!! It’s actually probably better quality than what I could have purchased in the store. And I get to say, I built that!! Not many people can say that! :) But now you can too! Today, I’m sharing all of my master bedroom furniture tutorials. Well, in actuality, 4 furniture builds and 1 wall treatment.
Ever since we moved into our house 14 years ago, I have wanted a master bedroom that felt more like a retreat and less like a drab, dark, low-class motel room. Still holding onto furniture we had bought not long after we got married 25 years ago, it was time for a change….
First things first…a new bed was in order. But beds are expensive! So, just like I’ve grown accustomed to saying about most furniture–I can build that! And I did! Check out this King size bed tutorial here!
Next up, nightstands! Keeping with the mid-century modern bed I just built, I liked this design for the nightstands….
Those drawers roll like butter! I thought they would be very hard to build and would require hardware…but nope! I found a way around the hardware and love how easy these open and close. And once again-so easy to build! Here’s the nightstand plans!!
Brainstorming how I could make a standing mirror not only serve the function of a mirror, but also a substantial furniture piece, I came up with this design…
So fun to DIY this beautiful statement piece. Check out the plans for the mirror here!
Who doesn’t love a fireplace in their bedroom!? It sounded too good to be true! But again, I knew it was possible. So off to Amazon I went to find an electric fireplace and then to the drawing board to sketch out a surround for it. Believe me when I say, this was not a hard build. And the reward of now having a dreamy fireplace in my bedroom…so worth it!! Want to build one for your room? Check out the plans here!

As if our beautiful new bed needed to stand out anymore, I decided to add an accent wall behind the headboard! Love the color and the style of this MCM slatted wall treatment! It’s perfect! Grab the plans here!
With these 5 bedroom furniture builds, you can easily transform your master bedroom into the retreat you desire!

Designer Tip: When It Might Be Time to Bring in Help
If you’re working on your home and things still don’t feel quite right, you’re not alone. Many of our clients start exactly where you are now. They’ve gathered ideas, saved inspiration photos, and maybe even purchased a few pieces, but the space still doesn’t feel cohesive. That’s often the moment when having a designer can make all the difference. We help homeowners create a clear plan so every decision works together. From layout and furniture placement to finishes and lighting, the goal is a space that feels thoughtful, comfortable, and complete.
