Mood Board Making: Dark Teal, Wood, & White Bedroom: a house log
I cannot promise that we will execute this mood board to a T when it comes to our future bedroom – heck, the whole vision could easily shift by the time we move into a new home. But as of right now, this is what I am loving (and John’s surprisingly right there with me):
1. I am dreaming of a cozy and enveloping room painted in a rich and saturated teal like the stripe of color across the top of the mood board (Benjamin Moore’s Rendezvous Bay 726). I’d temper the bold color by adding some white furnishings/accessories and some rich dark woods to ground things. And then I’d add a pop of tangerine, simply because I am feeling crazy. Layering in a few distinct prints and patterns along with some geometric shapes and modern lines will be the icing on the cake.
2. This round mirror will bounce around plenty of light and break up the rich hue on the wall to make sure it still feels relatively light and airy. I can see it now, hanging centered above the four-poster bed.
3. This sleek and affordable double dresser in a rich wood tone could certainly come in handy since the built-in drawers and shelves in our bedside wardrobes are staying behind (we are offering them up to whoever buys our house since they are built in with a header and crown molding). Oh and sometimes these Ikea dressers come up on craigslist for even less than their already low in-store price.
4. John and I are both loving the idea of a new bed with some presence (we are also leaving our current bed frame for the future homeowner since it fits perfectly between our two bedroom built-ins). And this new bed combined with the luxe teal walls will still feel airy and open while creating some fairly strong “lines” in the room.
5. These curtains would look remarkable with teal walls. And John and I have both enjoyed the idea of embracing more pattern and color in the next house- even though it means moving away from the breezy white curtains that we right now enjoy in every room. Change is good.
6. John enjoyed the idea of a pop of tangerine in the bedside lamps for a less monochromatic effect (we truly are embracing color, huh?). And although we enjoy these beauties from Crate & Barrel, we have also seen something similar (and especially low-cost) at HomeGoods so we might check those options out if we end up bringing this mood board to fruition someday.
7. The clean and modern lines of this night table will pair perfectly with the four poster bed and the dresser for a not-quite-matchy-matchy look that still “goes.”
8. I have been loving this chic organic bedding since first laying eyes on it in the West Elm catalog a few months back. And John agrees that a new bedroom in a new house deserves some new bedding (yesssssss). I truly like how textured and layered this room could feel with a large scale pattern on the duvet and another bold-ish pattern on the curtains. And the clean-lined brown and white furnishings will certainly play a pleasant supporting role in the room (so it does not feel too crazy and chaotic).
So there it is. My master bedroom wish list as it stands today. Anyone else loving the layering of distinct textures, patterns, and rich saturated hues (cut by a fair amount of white if you are us)? Any other bedroom planning or daydreaming going on?
