Master Bedroom Update

For years I struggled with the placement of furniture in this room. The bed seemed to only fit on the wall without any windows which meant it was sandwiched between the door and the bump out for the chimney flue.

This room layout felt unwelcoming and crowded. Plus since our room isn’t square it left the other side of the room feeling empty and unused.

Earlier this year I got the urge and energy to try a new layout in the room. I went against bedroom decorating rules and decided to try the bed partially up against the chimney flue.

I am so glad I did because this layout has a better flow and makes the room feel much larger and more open.

I like keeping bedrooms soft and clean which is why I chose white curtains and kept the colors neutral and light.

Once I got the layout down I was able to make a few more changes to the room –

Updating our nightstands and lamps

Adding a functional bench to the end of the bed

And staining our dresser to match the bench and updating the hardware

Here is the only before picture we have of before.

Now our bedroom is a peaceful retreat!
