Bringing the Outdoors In
In this bedroom transformation, the feature wall with slatted wall panelling takes centre stage. Paired with a white shiplap, this room feels so bright and cozy.
Pretty in Pink
If you’re going for a more sophisticated spin on a Barbie Dream Home bedroom, there’s no better choice than pink-patterned wallpaper. In this bedroom transformation, Debra’s choice of warm wooden nightstands perfectly complements this chic and playful aesthetic.
Minimalist and Marvelous
When in doubt, a simple colour palette of black, white and wood-tone furniture can make any primary suite feel sophisticated.
A Space to Unwind
Daisy accents have been everywhere in interior design recently, and this charming decorative mirror is a subtle way to embrace the trend. Combined with the soothing tones of a feature wall painted gray, this bedroom feels like a perfect place to recharge on vacation.
Pop of Colour
Sprucing up bedrooms can be a budget-friendly way to enhance the overall appeal of your vacation home without breaking the bank. Debra opted for a vibrant blue shade for the shiplap feature wall, infusing the space with both colour and texture.
Winter Retreat
Paying homage to the region’s winter activities, using snowshoes as decorative art above the bed is a clever way to add character to a vacation rental.
Family Getaway
Scott and Debra knew they had to create a captivating kids’ bedroom for this family-friendly rental. Adding a contemporary bunk bed frame, a wooden wall feature, and painting part of the ceiling in a vibrant shade of blue makes this space the perfect haven for youngsters.
Beauty in Balance
This dreamy bedroom is a masterclass in interior design. Create a harmonious balance in any bedroom by integrating matching nightstands and table lamps on the left and right side of the bed. Then, add a set of three identically sized photos positioned on the wall above. This formula won’t do you wrong!
Bright and Airy
Decorating a smaller bedroom? Take this design cue from Debra and opt for a sleek open-frame headboard. It’s a surefire way to make a room feel more spacious.
Century Charm
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to elevate a bedroom, paint the floor and window trim black. This bunkbed room transformation shows how impactful a painting project can truly be.
