My client contacted me because she had been debating whether or not to move. She decided to enlist my help with a mini bedroom makeover because she realized that if they decided to sell, it would help the room show beautifully; if they ended up staying, she could fall back in love with her bedroom. She wanted a light, airy-feeling bedroom instead of the cold, dark space it had been before we started.
Her inspiration pictures were all bright, light, and neutral. Her old bedroom felt dark and heavy. She wanted to keep her bed frame and dresser, and I knew with a few simple changes we could make a big difference here.
We painted the walls a light griege that instantly brightened up the space. Pretty white curtains now frame the headboard wall, adding softness and texture while staying light and bright.
We added light neutral art above the dresser. This area now feels clean and cohesive, and all we did was remove unnecessary items and ground the dresser by adding the art. The art also hides the electrical plugs on the wall.
Another way we finished off the space was by adding some new bedding. We kept her white duvet cover but added beige-and-white striped sheets, a beige blanket with great texture at the end of her bed, and a few throw pillows. The bed now feels lighter and more inviting even though we kept the grey headboard.
New modern artwork in white also adds to the feeling of lighter, brighter, and neutral textures.
The new nightstands and lamps are a much better scale for the king-size bed and add warmth to the space. The nightstands before were way too small and dark.
It is incredible how much of a difference you can make with a few simple changes. This makeover cost less than $2000, including my time. And my client is thrilled with the results.
