Bedroom makeover with Furniture & Decor from Home Depot

Few tips for a guest bedroom makeover

It will be fun to take you along how I designed a blank canvas to a cozy guest bedroom! Would you believe everything in the room is from Home Depot (except for the art and some small thrifted pieces)? I was honestly surprised to find such a good mix of pieces. You know I’m not a fan of matchy furniture, so I’m loving how this turned out!

Home depot is a place I check for deals on high end looking pieces for a great price.
You’d not guess the price of this stunning bed frame. And it looks even better in
person! 

Use contrasts to make a room look more lively

When putting together a room, my number one tip to making it look high-end is to mix
and match pieces and not get a “matching set” – matching bed, nightstands, dresser etc.
It makes a room look dated and not very interesting!

What I’ve done here is, using pieces that compliment rather than match! For eg: Your
instinct would be to get a dark dresser that matches the nightstand, but the light dresser
really elevates the space and brings in an interesting design element. I especially love
the ring pulls on the dresser – details matter! 

When styling a dresser –

Incorporate pieces of varying heights play with scale like large
lamp, vase, layer art of different heights. Use books to layer and add height to smaller
pieces of decor. 

Get creative and mix patterns

Mixing patterns is another way to make a space look elevated. I used quite a few
geometric patterns – plaid (accent chair), gingham(curtain), stripe (bedsheets),
diamond(rug) and mixed in a floral quilt to break up all the lines!
A tried-and-true formula to design a room – try to incorporate geometric pattern,
floral/organic patterns and pops of solid colors. 

Add a cozy spot

A chair in a corner makes for a cozy spot to read. Make it a nice “moment” by adding a
floor lamp, a small pedestal table and some art.
I hope these tips are helpful when you design your bedroom!
