One Room Challenge Week 3 – Townhouse Master Bedroom Design Plan
How has it already been a week since my last ORC update?! Time flies when you’re renovating/scrambling through life, I guess! In case you’re just now tuning in, you can see my week one announcement and before images here, and week two bathroom design plan here. For our One Room Challenge week 3 update I’m sharing our master bedroom design plans!
Keep in mind I still have quite a few little details left to iron out as far as what we’re including in the final design. Hopefully this will give you a general idea of what we’re going to be working with as far as the big pieces though, and I’m SO excited to see it all come together. Let us not forget the horror that was the before photos.
When it comes to the bedroom design, my biggest concern was keeping the space equally as bright. I already sleep like a dead animal, and now with a baby on the way, I’m looking at full on zombie dead animal status. That said, I still wanted the space to feel very different even though we’re keeping the same general layout of our furniture and what not.
The featured photo (above) is the gist of the design if you’re looking directly at our bed. We’re doing all of the wall Sherwin Williams Extra White (because that’s the white we used for the rest of the house and want to make it flow throughout), and a wallpapered accent wall behind our bed only.
We’re also bringing back this beloved Nuloom rug from Overstock that I used in this room last year that everyone goes WILD over. I still love it so much, and since we got a new rug for our living room makeover, I’m moving this one back upstairs to replace our current. bedroom rug.
The above photo is the wall opposite of our bed where we’ll have a credenza, accent chair, laundry hamper, TV, etc. I am literally DYING to own one of the Samsung The Frame TV’s. It looks like artwork on the wall when you want it to, and functions like a typical smart TV any other time. I mean WHAT THE WHAT?! That’s literally all of my TV dreams come true. Maybe it will happen, maybe it won’t, but dang it looks good in design mockup, ha!
Our general color scheme is a bit…unorthodox… for most adults. I’m basically using this marble print from Overstock and this mint and gold Ferm Living wallpaper as a guide for what colors we’re going with. Plus a touch of navy and emerald green. Is that crazy?! I didn’t want to get too stuffy with the decor because that’s just not us, especially in a space where we spend some portion of every day in.
As for artwork placement, is it too boring to do one large print or two smaller side by side prints over the bed? Filling the blank space on the walls is definitely what I’m having the hardest time with when it comes to quick decision making. Right now we have one medium print above the bed and it feels a bit small and misplaced, so that’s adding to my doubt I’m sure. Let me know your thoughts!
