Our edit of six modern bedroom design ideas provides inspiration for creating a love nest of your own at home, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Eglon House, London NW1
The enormous master suite of Eglon House, a landmark new project based on the Maison de Verre in Paris, incorporates raw plaster walls, track lighting and a rug inspired by Ben Nicholson. The museum-like sense of scale and exquisite details such as Italian marble and brass rolltop bath equate to a truly unique space.

Nevill Road, London N16
A sliding door in the master bedroom of this ingeniously designed home opens to reveal a balcony overlooking the living space; perfect for living out those Romeo and Juliet fantasies. Seemingly carved out of the birch ply core, storage space along two of the walls seamlessly blends with the rest of the cladding.

Barrington Road, London SW9
A former Victorian furniture warehouse, first established in 1871, has been converted into a sprawling mixed-use space, with plenty of character coming by way of original wood and concrete floors, exposed ceiling joists and steel pillars. The master bedroom is equally distinctive, accessed via a bespoke hardwood spiral staircase and done-out in whitewashed exposed brickwork, vintage signage and exposed ceiling beams for a raw yet cosy feel.

Assington, Suffolk
The master bedroom of this lauded barn conversion on the border of Essex and Suffolk offers a sanctuary from the rest of the house. Arranged over two levels, the suite offers a dressing area, shower and freestanding bath, as well as a seating area overlooking the adjacent field. Like elsewhere in the house, the bespoke joinery is particularly sightly, as are the exposed timber ceiling beams.

St. Ann’s Court, Surrey
A modernist riff on the English country house tradition, St Ann’s Court has a fittingly grand master bedroom. At the heart of the first floor, the circular room is a lesson in the art of keeping things simple and letting the views do the work. There are full-height glazed doors, which open onto a wisteria-draped balcony that affords vistas over landscaped gardens. A large dressing room and bathroom flank on either side.

St John Street, London EC1
Henley Halebrown Rorrison Architects’ adaptation of a Clerkenwell warehouse into an open-plan apartment celebrates the original fabric of the building with a parred-back aesthetic. Materials come to the fore, with exposed brickwork in the bedroom area and concrete pillars and birch-ply panelled floor demarcating the living space.
