A few months ago, my sister, Rose Angel from Design by Occasion asked for my help; coming up with a design plan for her master bedroom makeover. I was honored and psyched to be part of the process! Her existing room was dark, lacked functionality and not so glamorous. I don't have any "before" pictures and I think she would be embarrassed (and kill me) if any were posted (lol). Rose Angel wanted her new room to be light, modern, calm and serene. Key elements to think about for the new design plan.
Her inspiration . . . this jewelry tiered tray, purchased at Target (no longer available). This was the jump start to a beautiful bedroom retreat!
When sourcing options for the makeover, I pinned items like crazy! You can see my Pinterest board here. I wanted to make sure I was going in the right direction when I went over my design plan. Once we were on the same page, it was time to narrow down the choices.
Here's an inspiration board created for the new space (an e-design):
Since we live in two different states, most of the items were purchased online. Online purchases can be tricky because you're getting a picture view as opposed to seeing it in person. To make sure you are getting the item as pictured, if you have the store in your area, visit it first. For items that are online only, read reviews and item descriptions.
Let's get to the reveal. . .
Okay, I've kept you waiting long enough!! Here's a look at the master bedroom:
Let me take you on a tour and walk you through the room and items picked.
One of the items purchased, was the Skyline Furniture Mystery Upholstered Wingback Bed purchased from Wayfair. Since, this was an online purchase, the option to return the bed, really wasn't an option. So, the next best thing was to order fabric and color samples. This particular color was called Dove. Once we received the samples, we moved onto the next phase - picking out paint colors, rug color and accessories.
Next big item were the nightstands. My sister went back and forth with the idea of choosing two different nightstands, one with drawers and the other with a shelf and drawers. When sourcing different options, I found this Madelyn Chest from Joss and Main. I immediately knew this would be the perfect piece for her bedroom. The glossy white finish gave it a modern feel, while keeping with a classic look. The shape of the drawers and legs, paired with the gold hardware was truly stunning. And, it was in her price point.
For lighting, wall lamps were on the wish list. It saves space on the nightstand and the swing arm makes it convenient when reading in bed. I found these Kohle Chrome and Acrylic Ball Swing Arm Wall Lamps at Lamps Plus. The outer shade has this beautiful silver sheer fabric. The acrylic ball adds a jeweled look and the chrome finish gives it that sleek modern feel.
And, don't be afraid to mix different metals. This room has gold and silver finishes throughout the space.
For the wall color, we chose by Pale Oak by Benjamin Moore. The wall color is so creamy and dreamy. It lightens the space and gives it that calm feel. Benjamin Moore describes this color . . . "Reminiscent of the majestic white oak, this beautiful neutral is graceful and elegant, conveying a sense of style and quiet restraint. "
One of the biggest challenges in this space, was the window above the bed. Window treatments would have looked out of place; especially considering the fact that window treatments for the other two windows are still being worked out (fabric shades would be the way to go). I suggested artwork large enough to cover the window. After several attempts of finding the right artwork piece, my sister was not in love with any of them. I asked her why doesn't she paint her own artwork? She's very creative and has painted a few in the past. She gave it a go and I think she did a damn good job!
She took this picture of her artwork (with her iPhone) and I love how the sunlight filtered through.
I guess having that window has some advantage - LOL!
Another big change in the space was a custom closet design. I love the way it turned out and the gold hardware really gives it the wow factor!

Her original closet also got a makeover. Since the closet is small, it needed to function properly. The new space is organized and easy to access. My sister found this Petal Pusher Tile (Taupe) wallpaper tile and used it to accent the wall - giving it interest and glam.
A closer look at the wall. What a great idea!
Adding this Forza Mirror by Z Gallerie completed the look. The ghost chair seen below, is temporary until we find it's replacement.
White and gray bedding was on the wish list. This SFERRA Orlo bedding (in white/charcoal) gives the bed a crisp clean look.
I also picked up some accessories from Williams Sonoma Home that were perfect for the color scheme.
