I was talking to my neighbor the other day and she mentioned that they swapped bedrooms with their daughter. They wanted to give her space for a desk in her bedroom for distance learning. Such kind, selfless parents. Now they were left with the smallest bedroom for a master. I couldn’t help but offer to make it over and make it something they would just love, no matter the size. They are the kindest people and we wanted to give back to them somehow. First we started with the design plan….
Thank you The Home Depot for sponsoring this post
Master Bedroom Plan #1-
Floral wallpaper // Upholstered Bed // Bedding // Gold Sconce
Master Bedroom Plan #2-
Bird removable wallpaper // Stripe Bedding // Upholstered Bed // Gold Sconce
I actually did two plans! Fun to see what a difference a rug and wallpaper make! I like both looks. But the bird wallpaper in this plan was backordered. So I went with plan #1.
Master Bedroom Before-
Master Bedroom After-
What do you think?!! Our neighbors, the new owners of this bedroom are from Italy and have great style, I knew they would appreciate the modern mixed with the vintage. It feels very Italian vintage to me. Kevin said it reminded him of a bed and breakfast! I personally love a cozy master bedroom 🙂
Let’s talk about the placement of the bed. I did swap the wall the bed was on. Now the bed is in front of the window, but it works much better with the shape of the room. The addition of these whitewashed roman shades brings in texture and adds some interest above the bed. I also grouped a piece of art that I had (and love so much) with the window. It works! Don’t let a window stop you from putting your bed on the wall you want it to go!
Isn’t this removable wallpaper so pretty?? (I ordered from The Home Depot too!) It was probably one of the easiest wallpapers to install. And I really like it on every wall in the bedroom. I wanted this small bedroom to pack a punch. This bedroom has two windows so I knew it could handle some pattern!!
Wallpapering all the walls the same really makes a small room feel bigger! Many of you saw my stories installing the wallpaper and asked what tool I used to smooth the wallpaper, it is actually this paint edger!
I did wallpaper over the closet door! A big reason was to make the room feel larger and to disguise the door. It worked!
The addition of the mirror here, feels like a window and is another way to make a small bedroom feel bigger! I had the mirror and gave it to them, but I found one similar here.
You can see the entrance to the door doesn’t have wallpaper on the back and now I want to wallpaper it too!
The velvet bed is such a nice comfy addition to the room (and it was a good price). I like to mix design styles, this modern bed with the floral vintage wallpaper is a great example of how nixing styles can work.
The bedding turned out so cozy and eclectic! The stripe duvet and shams are from The Home Depot (only $109 for the set!!). These new sheets are SO soft, they are cotton sateen, I ordered those for them from The Home Depot too. I gave them a few extra pillows I already had to finish it off!
We did the magic light trick on either side of the bed instead of nightstands. I used these gorgeous sconces from The Home Depot. You can read about the magic light trick here (and find the smaller puck light I used). Basically I use a puck light (instead of a lightbulb) and attach it to this pvc part I get at The Home Depot. Instantly you have light, without the expense of an electrician.
Nightstand accessories are always my favorite. Functional and stylish. A little vintage dish for rollers, a books to give height to a plant!
There wasn’t a lot of room for a nightstand over on this side, without blocking the closet door. So I went with this ottoman and a basket on top. And this little side table. Perfect for a diffuser and oils for sleep!
Find details on the rug on this blog post with my tips on rug sizing!
They are very happy with how it turned out! And I am thrilled for them to enjoy it!!

Love shopping online at The Home Depot and going to the local shop to finish off every room I do with plants! Plus when I shop online at The Home Depot I know I can easily make returns to my nearest local shop if something doesn’t work right in the space.
Hey Brooke!
I have to admit… you’ve turned me onto wallpaper! I’ve added wallpaper to a few different areas of my home becuase of you!! I can’t get enought!!
Thanks for all you do! Keep inspiring!!
ahhhh love this statement!
Love how it turned out! Lucky friends!!!! Quick question: with the asymmetrical placement of the window, if you had it, would you have put a painting with light background to kind of continue the whites on the window and make it seem more continuous?
No, I like the contrast and what I used.
Thank you!
You rocked it again Brooke and Kevin. I know from experience what a blessing a new bedroom can be.
Thanks for blessing others.💕
Love ya,
Mom
Love the bedroom! So cheerful and bright now. I love the magic puck light trick . my only issue worry is That it wouldn’t be light enough to read in bed. What are your thoughts about that?
The lights I used in these are smaller, so no they aren’t super bright, but bright enough to cast a nice soft glow. You could read by it if you were right near it. The bigger puck light it much brighter
CN you link the duvet insert?
That duvet insert was one I had! I don’t have a link because I don’t remember exactly what one it was. Sorry!
Where is the gray diffuser from?
It is this diffuser (I will say it is very pretty but it doesn’t mist a lot or put out a lot of scent- more for a small space or a desk)
Hi! Looks great! Question on that plant on the nightstand. What kind is that? I have a little jar (an old candle actually that’s in the freezer right now so I can pop it out) 😃.
Hi! That is a Emerald Ripple Peperomia!
Lovely! Please share details for blanket on bed. Is that from Home Depot too?
That was from the company store! I can’t see it on their website anymore….
Check out QVC Forums under the catagory HOME. They are posting about your living room. Some say it is too cluttered . And some say they don’t like your lamp or coffee table.
Actually I like the other coffee table you had much better.
Never going to please everyone with my personal design style. All that matters is that the person who lives there likes it.
The mirror in your post isn’t the same one linked at Home Depot. The one at Home Depot has 8 panels and is shorter.
yes, I mentioned I already had that one…. I gave it to them. I got mine at Birch Lane 3 years ago
When you use the puck lights are they on different remotes or the same one? I was wondering if one light can go on and the other light be off. Silly question I know.
Thank you!
you can use the same remote!!!
