I have been wanting to paint my bedroom one color for months and I finally did it! A couple of years ago, we added a board and batten accent wall. But the accent wall trend is fading, and dramatic walls are now in. In order to give a room a refresh, you definitely do not need to go out and purchase new furniture. You can simply transform a room with paint. I’m definitely going for a very cozy cottage vibe for our master bedroom. So, let’s get to it!

Adding cozy cottage details to give our Master Bedroom a refresh. See how I changed the paint color, curtains, and furniture to get the look.

Room Color

When we built our home, I decided on Repose Gray for our Bedroom. It’s a nice gray, lighter in color. Because we have a huge window, it pulls more green and the whole room tends to look green. After a couple of years, we added a board and batten accent wall behind our bed. I wanted (at the time) a bold color. I chose a very dark green: Regal Leaf by Magnolia. I wasn’t happy with it, and I ended up changing the accent wall to Boothbay Gray. And I love it! I decided that I’m over the accent wall and I wanted the whole room to be one color. The color is…Boothbay Gray!

Window Treatments

When we first moved in, I didn’t’ want any window treatments to any windows. Since we don’t really have any neighbors, the openness of bare windows was perfect. I decided I wanted a softer and more romantic look for our bedroom, so I added some beautiful pink velvet curtains and linen shades. I love the romantic feel. But I didn’t love the contrast of the pink and blue walls, and I wanted something more neutral. I went with triple pleated cream velvet curtains with a sunlight liner. They’re not total blackout, but they provide some darkness from daylight.

Nightstands

Our bedroom set is OLD! We bought it when we built our second house in 2004. And I still love it! I have a new bed that I absolutely love, but it hasn’t been in stock forever. So, until that happens, we will stick with what we have. I’ve searched for new nightstands…but I have something very specific in mind. I tried to strip our current nightstands, but they don’t make things like they used to, and a lot of the “wood” isn’t really wood at all. So, I resorted to painting them. I started with Revere Pewter. But it wasn’t enough of a contrast for me with our cream-colored bed. I have now painted them the same color as our Theater Room: BlackJack.

Bedding

I love a cozy layered bed. And I have to have lots of blankets when I’m sleeping…even in the warmer months. I just like the heaviness…it feels cozier to me. I love flannel sheets in the colder months, as well. I recently discovered linen sheets and they are amazing! You can change up your bedding by shopping your home and changing up the different layers.

Here’s my formula for a cozy bed:

Add a fitted and flat sheet
Textured quilt and Coverlet
Hospital corners
Add 4 pillows.
Finish with decorative pillows and a fluffy duvet
You can also add a throw blanket for extra coziness.

Conclusion

You can totally transform your bedroom with only paint! I painted all the walls the same color for a cohesive look. I also painted the nightstands a contrasting color, so they don’t look too matchy matchy. I added new curtains and switched out my bedding by shopping my home. My question for you is, do you use a top sheet? I never knew that was a controversial topic, but I guess it is. Let me know in the comments. You know I love to hear from you! Until next time Treasure Hunters!
