While many people overlook their bedroom thinking no one sees it but them , it is a room that people should make a priority . It ’ s the first thing you see in the morning , and the last room you curl up in at night . Why not make it a place that brings you joy ?
While there was nothing wrong functionally with this bedroom , it really lacked inspiration , detail and personality . My goal was to fill up this large space with items that brought it to life , and add details that would make it a show stopper in this home .
To start , I always recommend a color that you love ; choose one that gives you a serene , relaxing feel and speaks to you personally .
To add interest and dimension , we created a wall treatment using great trim products , which gave the space an elegant feel .
The most common request when working on a bedroom remodel is to create a serene , relaxing atmosphere . A fireplace is the perfect addition to a bedroom setting . A great option is an electric unit . Electric units have drastically evolved in recent years and can create the overall sense of comfort that is perfect for a bedroom . They are also easy to install and extremely affordable .
For the bed , we chose an upholstered headboard and a comfortable mattress .
Dressing the bed is where you can have some serious fun with patterns , color and texture . We started with crisp white sheets , pillows and pillow cases and topped it off with a subtle duvet cover . We used pillows to incorporate the exact texture and finishing touches that are perfect for this room .
I often like to add a bench to the end of the bed . It looks great and is also the perfect place to pile your decorative pillows and throw at night when you turn in . For this space I used this stylish white bench which fits perfectly in the space .
