Decorating the Master Bedroom

Decorating the master bedroom in French vintage decor.

Decorating The Master Bedroom - So Much Better With Age

They say when you move into a new house that you should decorate the master bedroom first so that you have a cozy place to retreat to.

Usually it’s the last room people decorate as so many other rooms take precedence. I think I’ve been decorating each room in my house pretty consistently and evenly throughout.

Because a lot of the house is still not in complete order, I love how my bedroom is all white and uncluttered. There’s literally no decoration so it’s such a serene place.

But it won’t stay like this forever.

I just finished painting a dresser so I can’t wait to move it into the room and really start decorating.

I will add a few more decorative touches and some ‘color’. Color as in more neutrals, textures and patterns.

Today I’m sharing with you how decorating the master bedroom is coming along with some before and after photos.Decorating The Master Bedroom / white bed - So Much Better With Age

Decorating the Master Bedroom

Remember what my master bedroom used to look like?

The flooring in here didn’t match any other room in the house which was odd.

You can see inside the master ensuite.

I just love cushy carpet in bedrooms so I got this beautiful cream-colored carpet.

I still need end tables but for now chairs will do.

Yes, I’m aware I need a duvet cover.

I put up the curtain rods and for now I’m just using old curtains I had sewn with blackout lining. I’m still deciding on fabrics so I can sew new curtains for this room.

I just painted a dresser for this side of the wall and it turned out GORGEOUS! I can’t wait to show you!

Finally, no more bins!

My sister loves to crochet. She loves a lot of color but she often makes me blankets and things in my favourite neutral colors. She just made me these three baskets.

I stuffed a blanket in the large basket but the other two are standing completely on their own.

I love them! They are so versatile too. You could use them as totes, decoration or baskets. Decorating The Master Bedroom / beautiful handmade baskets - So Much Better With Age Decorating The Master Bedroom / knitted baskets - So Much Better With Age Decorating The Master Bedroom / grey and white totes - So Much Better With Age

Would you buy one of these from her? She might take custom orders if anyone is interested.

Left to be done in the master bedroom:

  • duvet cover
  • decorative pillows
  • night stands
  • sew new curtains
  • new dresser (done!)
  • artwork

And be sure to see my master ensuite makeover:

    I love the sereneness of the bedroom. Great bench at the end of the bed! I’d definitely buy a basket from your sister if she is willing to make some. The sweet bungalow is certainly coming along!

They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .
