The Ultimate Bed Makeover

The Ultimate Bed Makeover

Turning your bed from drab to fab is often the most impactful way to change the overall feel of your bedroom. Knowing where to start is key to a successful bed overhaul but is often the biggest design challenge most clients’ face. 

The good news is, there is no wrong way to find your inspiration! Is the paint color of your room bold and unique? Did you find a bedspread that you love? Maybe you’ve always dreamt of a blue crushed-velvet headboard, or simply the feel of a peaceful bedroom escape. No matter the source, find what captivates you, and let that be the launching pad for the rest of your design. 

Not ready for a complete overhaul but still want to update your current design? These are a few of our favorite quick-win design ideas to spruce up your current space:

• These aren’t your mother’s neutrals. Muted pastels, platinum and icy blues have joined the ranks, and are shaking things up in stunning ways. Use the trendy hues in your bedspreads, throws and even on an accent wall. Nina Campbell’s Braemar Wallpaper Range is gorgeous with the soft hues that demand attention.
• A customized headboard is great for a statement piece. Check out Lee Industries or Vanguard Furniture for a headboard you can make your own by way of fabric choices, nail trim or wood stain. Century Furniture also has a Custom Shape Headboard option if you have a more structured image in your mind of what you want specifically.
• Freshen up a traditional bed design with an updated quilt, or unique throw pillows. Looking for something a little different? Add flare with a bed scarf. Here you can customize it as your heart desires and change it out with the seasons. Our go to brands for bedding are Tradition Linens, Orchid Lux Home and Wooded River.
• Maximize the functionality of the room by adding a bench at the end of the bed. Not enough space? Foot stools are a great alternative! We love the expansive selection from Bernhardt Furniture.

Whether your taste is soft and calm, bold and glamorous, or anything in between, the options are endless!
