Good morning, friends!!
Get ready to be inspired by this stunning transformation. Today, I'm sharing all the details and beautiful photos of a glam bedroom makeover explicitly designed for a young adult woman—or anyone who loves a touch of sophisticated sparkle!
My beautiful niece Paula wanted a sophisticated, cozy bedroom that truly reflected her style. She had bravely tried to add personality to her plain white canvas by installing a bold geometric accent wall. While that gave the room a great pop of color, it was still missing a sense of warmth and cohesive design, as this "before" photo clearly shows:

The plan: Turn this bedroom into a glamorous space where she could escape at the end of a busy day.
The first task was to address that big wall. That blue color was competing fiercely with the color of the headboard, and well, the headboard had to stay.
A gorgeous wallpaper was installed, and you can check all the details about that installation right HERE.
THE BEDDING
New linens, a duvet cover, cute pillowcases, and a warm throw blanket gave the bed some serious oomph!
You can never go wrong dressing your bed in white, especially in a small bedroom like this one. 😉
The new wooden legs fit much better, and they provide even more storage underneath the bed.
My niece's beautiful pictures fit like a glove in her new space. She wanted lots of gold, which she received by adding gilded picture frames.
Two skinny, light nightstands flanked the bed on either side.
The lighter color of the new tables also lets more light into those corners, and a pretty bouquet is the cherry on top.
Time to take a look at that back wall where the TV was hung. Well, I'm not a big fan of TVs in a room, but this one had to stay.
Thin pieces of molding were cut at a 45-degree angle, sanded, painted, and glued to the wall.
Last but not least, a fluffy white rug was added; it is so soft that it brings the glam factor up a notch, just as my niece wanted! :)

The two mirrors with their Moroccan-inspired design and a few accessories followed suit in the gold department.
The mirrors were handcrafted here in Bogotá at EMPODIO, a shop north of the city that you can contact at 318-238-9918.
LIGHTING
This wasn't a dark room by any means; the big window lets in lots of light. But please, never underestimate the power of a well-lit room!
The room was lacking a bedside/reading light, and I didn't want to stuff the nightstands with bulky lamps. So I brought in these headboard-mounted LED lights. Each light has its own switch, which she can use at the same time or separately.

Did you notice that a center chandelier was installed as well? As usual, my nephews were my big helpers with everything that needed to be installed.🥰
THE NIGHTSTANDS

Their predecessors couldn't fit together on each side of the bed; they were way too wide for the space.
Remember to choose the right-sized furniture for your space when redecorating.
THE TV WALL
I did nothing to the TV, but the little shelf on top was removed because it wasn't serving much purpose and created visual clutter.
We installed wall frames to add more interest to that wide wall.
Thin pieces of molding were cut at a 45-degree angle, sanded, painted, and glued to the wall.
Then, I added these string lights with little clips to both outer frames, which my niece had displaying goofy pictures of her and her friends.
It's now easier for her to add or change pictures, and she can enjoy them even more now that they're in front of the bed.
THE WINDOW
Yes, that window needed some drapes!
The gray color ties in so nicely with the headboard. The long curtains add height to the room and provide warmth and extra privacy.

It was super fun working on this glam room makeover! Given that it was for my niece, it was more special working on it.
Here, I leave you with the before and after of this space:

ReplyDeleteThat wallpaper really toned things down in a good way, and yes, the headboard was meant to be there. Thanks Debra!
DeleteI love everything about your makeover, the wallpaper is so light and pretty, the pillows feminine and subtle, the bedside table have a nice line with the curve in the legs, the molding on tv wall brilliant, and the photo string lights nice to fill up the rest of the wall...wonderful room !
