Traditional + Classic Bedroom Design + Cozy Bed-Making Tips!
One of my favorite rooms to refresh, whether in my own home or for a client, is the bedroom! I recently transformed this bedroom into a cozy oasis and wanted to share a few of my favorite tips for creating a cozy bed!

Bright + Cozy Basement Guest Bedroom Install
Who says basements have to be dark and drab? You would never know this beautiful guest bedroom is in a basement and that was our goal with this design! I love the pops of blue in here paired with cozy neutrals and lots of different textures throughout the bedding, rug, and furniture. A metal bed is such a simple and classic piece that will never go out of style and I love how it paired with the more modern side tables, lamps, and accessories in this space.

Holiday Home Tour 2020: Master Bedroom
Christmas time means my master bedroom is at its peak coziness level! I’ve been slowly chipping away at refreshing this space. So far, I’ve added new bedding and nightstands, and I’m excited to jump into more updates in the future. For this holiday season, I jumped on the chance to do double trees in another room, with a pencil tree on either side of the bed. I love the size of these trees- you can add one to just about any space for instant coziness. I kept the tree decor pretty minimal with some wood bead garlands, and added warm tones to the bedding for subtle holiday touches. I spruced up my antlers and bed frame with greenery to complete the look.
Bright + Clean Guestroom with Cozy Sitting Area
I am loving this recent guest room makeover I designed and am really ready to move right in! I always love when there is space in a bedroom for a cozy seating area, and this one situated around the beautiful curved window is just perfect! We kept it light and neutral in here because this room will see a ton of different guests and I wanted it to be cozy and comfortable for everyone. We painted all the walls “Pure White” by Sherwin Williams to give the room a bright and clean backdrop. We also added a modern and chic ceiling fan where there was a small light fixture before. I especially love the mix of cozy textures and layers in this space- from the bedding, to the rug, linen slipcovered chairs, and pillows!
Shop the Design: Crisp, Modern, + Neutral Bedroom Design {McGee and Co. Look for Less}
One of my biggest design inspirations that I love to follow is Mcgee and Co. / Studio Mcgee. I love the simplicity and timeless feel of all their designs- super crisp and clean but also so warm. Recently I pulled together this design board for a client’s guest bedroom that reminded me of their designs, but definitely using more budget friendly pieces! I wanted to share this in case you might be looking to duplicate the same kind of high-end look for less! I shared shopping links to everything I used (and some extra similar items) below!
Minimal Spa-Like Master Bedroom Makeover
Here’s a sneak peek of a project I am currently finishing up. This super minimal and chic master bedroom makeover is giving me all the spa-like vibes! This client knew exactly what she wanted, which made my job super easy. I have never done such a simple, minimal design before but I really loved the process. One of the biggest challenges for the space was choosing the right white paint color that would coordinate with the existing trim color which was a little darker beige. Before all the walls in this house were a very pale yellow (very 90’s- check out the before photos below) and we are slowly changing them room by room. Keeping the trim color as-is is a huge money saver in the long run, especially since the actual paint was still in good condition.
Anthropologie Look for Less Bedroom
Today I’m sharing this recent guest bedroom makeover that I completed for a client this past week! We started with basically nothing except a plain bed and transformed the space into a cozy and layered bedroom that any guest would love to stay in. I think everyone covets that high-end and super cozy Anthropologie look especially in a bedroom, but not so much the price tag. I was able to copy the look for a quarter of the price using bedding and accessories from Target. Their new Opalhouse line in particular has a ton of Anthropologie inspired pieces. We also added these gorgeous nightstands and headboard from Wayfair which really anchor the room.
