Master Bedroom Mini Makeover

 

Restful Night

Soft neutral colors and matching bedside tables instill balance and harmony for a relaxing oasis.

Creams and beiges combine with dark woods for a unified color palette. On each side of the bed, matching bookcases organize reading material and wall-mounted swing-arm lamps provide task lighting. Rectangular mirrors complete the clean, symmetrical design. A custom-made platform bed includes small tables for extra storage.

Decorating with neutrals doesn’t mean everything should be the same shade of beige. Combine silky and rough textures with shiny and smooth surfaces to keep things interesting.

“Painting the accent wall really anchors the bed.”

Make It:
Custom look

This paint treatment on one wall adds a focal point to the room. Using a combination of complementary colors, a wide brush, and painter’s tape, the homeowner applied paint in a block pattern.
