Master Bedroom Inspiration

Initial Color and Design

I want to share some of my master bedroom inspiration with you, since I think that can be helpful to see where some of the ideas came from when designing a space. It’s nice to see different versions and interpretations to things.

When we moved into our house, we painted the yellow master bedroom a faded blue (Sherwin Williams Krypton) and had a mix of new/old furniture with a farmhouse feel. I was never totally crazy about the color in that particular room. It was darker and bluer than I desired, but I put off changing it since we’d had a professional painter do it.

Wall Sconces

Sometimes I struggle with having enough room on our nightstands, and our large lamps take up quite a bit of the surface. I’ve seen TONS of swing arm wall sconces online lately and love the look. It also totally frees up your nightstand for other items!
You can have them wired in, but they also make plug in sconces, so that’s what I’m going for–no electrician required!!
I love this brass Glass Globe Sconce Wall Light by Project 62 at Target. It’s ultra modern and sleek, and a little different than the typical swing arm designs. It’s also on sale for $43.99 right now, so that has a lot of appeal!

I love these brass sconces from Little House of Four. The look so high-end and the brass really pops against that smoky wall. And surprise–the lights are actually Wray Modern Industrial Up Down Swing Arm Wall Lights Set of 2 Lamps Dark Brown Sconce from Amazon that she spray painted and covered in Gold Leaf Rub and Buff. Now I’m wishing I’d picked up two wall sconces I saw at a yard sale a few weeks ago. I’ve never used that product, but plan on trying it on something soon!!

Color

I really want to go with something more neutral on the walls for our master bedroom–think white, cream, light beige, etc. I’d also like to bring in a darker color somewhere, and instead of straight up gray, I’m really crushing on mid and dark greens.

I love this image by Hunter Premo with the deep green accent wall.

I could save all of Chris and Julia’s images and put here, but the main thing I’m inspired by is the color. They just did a Phase 1 kitchen renovation and did all the cabinets in a mid green and it is so good! Chris Loves Julia does everything well.

Wall Treatment

I’ve been wanting to try out some sort of wall treatment after doing my Faux Shiplap with No Nails laundry room accent wall a few weeks ago. Chris Loves Julia did vertical shiplap for their backsplash in the photo above.

100 Things 2 Do does a full board and batten wall in medium green behind their bed.

Texture and Finishes

Overall, I want a clean, fresh room that still feels cozy, and A Thoughtful Place really nails it. Her use of colors and textures is just perfect. The dark dresser with gold hardware is spot on. I love the mixture of black with gold accents. I’m also crazy about a big statement wall of photos.

Puling Everything Together

I am so inspired by these images (and MORE!) for our little refresh. Finding master bedroom inspiration is easy; the difficult part is figuring out what you like best and what works together in YOUR space. Of course, there are also budget constraints, but I’m a firm believer that you can still have a beautiful space you love without breaking the bank. That’s my quest for now, so wish me luck and we’ll see where we end up!

Fluted Nightstand DIY

October 13, 2022
I can't remember the first example of fluted wood furniture I saw, but it was probably either this gorgeous custom wood bathroom vanity from Chris Loves Julia , or the DIY fluted coffee table Fariha shared on Pennies for a Fortune . The custom cabinetry was done professionally using a router for each line, which isn't something I possess the skills to do. This did help inspire the colors I used in our bathroom remodel, though! I really connected to the method Fariha used to build the coffee table--wooden dowels. What a fabulous idea!

Upcycled Canvas Art

February 14, 2022
I did a little refresh in our daughter's room, and I decided we needed some large-scale art. I actually planned to order a print, but inspiration struck on a trip to HomeGoods when I saw two HUGE framed canvases on clearance for $25 and $9. I grabbed them up and headed home, with my head filled with ideas on what to do with them.

Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper

February 14, 2022
I love peel-and-stick wallpaper so much! It's an easy, DIY fix for any space that just needs a little refresh. Because it's easily removeable, I feel much more confident going ahead and choosing a pattern. I struggle to commit to traditional pasted wallpaper--I think it's because we removed so much of it when we bought our house. It is no easy task. Peel-and-stick is also very economical, so if you decide to change it up a few years down the line, it doesn't feel so bad. I've now put it in four areas of our house. Today, you'll see the kitchen and den. It's the same pattern in different colors. I love how much the simple pattern really just makes each space.

Free Fall Art Download

By Jenni Jarvis • October 1, 2021
Just for fun, here's a freebie--a digital download for some fall wall art! This quote is from Anne of Green Gables. I still want to read the book, but I was a huge fan of the series Anne with an E on Netflix. Just click on the file, download it and print it at home or send it to a place like Office Depot. Happy October!
