Design Process: Primary Bedroom

These clients were building a new home and were looking for a calming retreat for their primary bedroom. They have a dog and a young child so they were looking for something comfortable, stylish, yet also durable. They were open to all new furniture, but did have a gray upholstered bed they were open to using in the room if needed but it could also go in the guest bedroom.

I envisioned a space that added light wood tones for warmth, added textures, and a neutral color scheme with pops of blues and greens to add a calming element to the room. The client mentioned that the dog sleeps in their room, but doesn’t get on the furniture which made it possible to add light-colored bedding to the design. They had a small, but totally doable budget so I focused on items that would make a large impact with a small amount of money. 

After sending over a space plan I got to work sourcing items that would create a calming retreat for my clients. I added a dog bed, reading nook, bold canopy bed, and slatted wood bench. I love the way the wood tones work seamlessly with the canopy bed. The slatted bench adds a fun, unexpected touch to the design and the geometric rug pulls the design together. The artwork and accessories finish the space. I added a pop of color with the reading chair which is also in a performance fabric so it’s perfect for their everyday life with a dog and toddler. I ended up sending over one design with a new canopy bed and one design with their current gray upholstered bed so they could easily visualize each option and make the best decision for them!
