Add a handful of extra décor items that are meaningful to you or go on over to my newly refreshed curated shopping pages by clicking here. Let me back up one second and discuss how to really love the room design you create. Simply, don’t rush. I can shop for an entire room of stuff that will all work really well together, but it could feel a little empty without YOUR personal touch. The above design is considered “the bones” and then adding in items from your travels or shopping will make the room really spectacular.

For example, in my personal home, I have decorative objects, art and signs from the cruises I went on. In my living room, I have a hand-carved wiener dog from Jamaica, a stylized Palm Tree from Haiti, and a carved sign, also from Haiti. My husband and I gathered them while we were shopping and enjoying our honeymoon so they are very special to us. I also go to my local treasure shop where they have talented artists, people who redo/flip furniture, and handcraft décor. Shout Out to Do-Over Décor which happens to be on the way to our favorite beach! My husband and I also frequent different consignment stores around town which allows us to curate the look of our home to be perfect for US.

California Casual Bedroom 1

Hey Guys!


Me again…. So I know it has been AGES since my last post, so I guess I should take a brief minute to play catch-up! … I relocated from Charlotte, NC to Port Saint Lucie FLORIDA with my 2 crazy cats and happy wiener dog. There’s more to my story, but that’s all I am going to share in this post! SO since I am loving this sun and palm tree weather, I am leaning in more toward my favorite design style - - California Casual Design!!

I have always been super into Modern Boho Interiors with a strong mid-century influence and masculine lines. While I will still be working on those projects, I am also feeling the pull of soft tones and beachy textures and would love to embrace the new casual lifestyle.

SO all that being out of the way, LET’S GO SHOPPING!!!

For this one, I mixed a high Modern look of the Figure Drawing Artwork and A-lined Chair with a transitional spindle bed and muted area rug. Keeping it casual and not matchy-matchy, I decided to mix and match side tables with varying wood tones. Personally, I love mixing a rectangular nightstand with a round table, but also think this look is best in a guest bedroom. Something about the vibe just works. I’m a sucker for solid bedding. This duvet and sham set is a stonewashed linen which gives it a vintage feel and luxurious European Flax hand. Popping in distressed hand dyed pillows with a ticking stripe pattern and Cactus Silk patterned lumbar pillow act as the focal point. Finishing off this pretend room design, I added in transitional decor with a wild flower bouquet, a neutral Hydrangea Stem, and a faux olive tree placed in a wicker planter basket.

My Designer Tip of this post: Don’t Forget to DECORATE!

Even the prettiest rooms can wind up feeling flat. Why? Well, my simple answer is, if you don’t have the following things in your room texture / pattern / greenery / meaningful decor your room feels flat. Do you need real greenery? No. Do you need to spend a ton of money on blankets, pillows. decor, and art? No. Pick pieces that are meaningful to you. Go to Home Goods and find something inexpensive and mix it in with more expensive item - - No one will notice. Go to Walmart and find a Gem to display - - No one will notice. Go to Target and shop shop shop - - No one will care WHERE the items came from or ask how much you paid for something.

I was inspired to complete this Shoppable Mountain Bedroom Design for a neutral master bedroom or guest bedroom idea. This bedroom features a channeled headboard, plug-in wall sconces, white bedding, and a tufted bench at the foot of the bed. Read on to find why I made the suggestions, and scroll to the bottom to shop this design.

SO I am obsessed with wall sconces over a nightstand! They really open your room up and make the nightstand have more usable space as well as allowing for strategic decor placement. The wall sconces I’m suggesting to you guys is a sexy and sleek plug-in wall sconce from CB2! A plug-in wall sconce is perfect for all you existing home owners! Skip the electrician fees and install these bad boys yourself! All you need is a drill / screw driver, tape measure / level, and a pencil. I recommend dividing your nightstand into thirds and mount the wall sconce to the outside third of the nightstand. Now, when it comes to the height, it really depends on the specific wall sconce and the height of your headboard. Shoot me a message if you have a specific question on where you should hang yours!

Since we have all this amazing room on the nightstands without lamps, we can really ADD STYLE to them! I usually love night chests over smaller nightstands to allow for more room, but since chests are normally a lot more expensive than more standard nightstands, a wall sconce makes them work! The beautiful nightstands featured in this design are only 20” wide so are perfect for a small bedroom space.

On one side, I have a marble standing picture frame with a clock in front of it and a ceramic vase with a faux eucalyptus bunch. On the other side, a framed picture of eucalyptus with a couple books stacked in front of it. On top of the books, a candle, a small storage container, and then a bold decorative object.

 

Designer Tip: If your bedroom is feeling flat, you need to add more layers with decor, textures, pattern, and artwork.

 

I’m obsessed with white bedding! Why White Bedding? Well, for a few reasons. First, white bedding is easy to clean because all you need is some bleach. Second, hotels always have crisp white bedding, so our minds think white bedding is elegant and high style. Third, white goes with everything! We can swap out pillows and accents whenever we want without having to change the bedding. Lastly, a dark bed cover can feel like a black hole in a small room, whereas white bedding will make your bedroom look larger. SO if you have kids and think their dirty feet will ruin your bedding, see point one.

To complete this bedroom design, I added a large framed print above the velvet channeled headboard, pillows, throw blanket, tufted bench, and area rug. Hang the art above the bed 6-8” for a standard 8’ ceiling.
