The pattern of the rug pushed the client’s comfort zone a bit, but once they saw how it tied the room together, they grew to really love it!
We chose a collection of grey and white pillows with touches of red and gold to pull in just a bit of color and texture.
The client’s original nightstands were much too tall and narrow, and the lamps much too large. We selected new nightstands with a better scale and replaced the lamps with classic sconces.
Styling nightstands with sconces can be a challenge, because there is a large space to fill between the nightstand and the light. We addressed this issue by hanging a black and white framed photo below each sconce, then styled the nightstands with the client’s photos and books.
The client was original interested in painting the fireplace mantle because they don’t love the yellow time of the wood, but since it matches all of the other wood in the house, we quickly decided it would be a better choice to keep the wood and find a way to incorporate its yellow tone into the room.
The large painting of aspens above the dresser was in the original room, but it feels like much more of a focal point in the redesigned space! And the yellow and orange leaves now coordinate with the other golden tones in the space.

Looks beautiful…but what happened to the TV?? Since that is what puts me to sleep, removing the TV from my room would not work at all!! Yeah, I know, you really aren't supposed to have a TV in the bedroom!! I especially love the rug and drapes – great patterns!!

I agree with you on the tv… I can't live without mine in the bedroom either! In fact, if you look at my master bedroom you'll see that we created an entire gallery wall around our tv in an effort to make it less of a focal point. 🙂 But the clients didn't want the tv in their room any more. I offered to work it into the design, but they wanted to remove it.

Amazing transformation! And I'm sure your clients loved the budget in keeping most of the larger pieces!
