She also shared with us her top 3 design rules!
Dee Dee's Tricks & Tips for a Master Bedroom
Always put something at the end of a bed. Whether it's a bench, chest or desk - create a little space at the end of your bed.
Repetition with material - it's a great way to pull a room together and adds a luxurious feel and texture to a room.
Create a fine balance between the masculine and feminine aspects of your master bedroom. Use colours like browns, creams, whites and accent with pops of colour. Dee Dee's favourite colour right now is orange.
Lighting is so important. Dee Dee recommends table lamps, 2 pot lights above bed for reading, wall sconces and a fabulous ceiling fixture.
Dee Dee's Design Rules:
1. Your cocktail table height should not exceed your sofa seat height. You want to be able to put up your feet comfortably.
Check out this sofa with this great cocktail table that has a shelf. Dee Dee loves when there is storage for books and magazines.

2. Your mirror above your console should be narrower than the console itself.

3. Anywhere you sit, you should have a place to put down a drink. The height of the table should be lower than the arm of the chair.
