Midnight Velvet Neutral Bedroom Redo under $250!

July 29, 2014 By Shelley Zurek 630 Comments

Redecorating a Neutral Bedroom with $250 and Midnight Velvet Comforters

Today’s discussion is brought to you by Midnight Velvet. This is a Fashionista Event.

Midnight Velvet Before and after
still blondeThe Chief Blonde Remarks:  Working with Midnight Velvet, I had the opportunity to update my son’s neutral bedroom. He has moved out and is now married. We had made a few updates to the room after he left but it was DULL, all beige and the comforter was too big.

So I switched up the comforter, pillow shams and dust ruffle to this beautiful Queen Sized Lisette Smocked Comforter Set  from Midnight Velvet. Can you imagine a luxurious queen comforter set for $129?

Midnight Velvet Before and after

The placement of the bed in the room was all wrong, it was blocking the door as you walked in. So the first thing we did was move the bed to the opposite wall. After that we decided on using the gorgeous Queen Sized Lisette Smocked Comforter Set as the base for our redo, and then adding chocolate brown and gray blue accents. Here’s how we did the transformation:

Midnight Velvet Neutral Bedroom Redo

Steps for a Neutral Bedroom Redo

  1. Pick your base color (we choose the cream in the Midnight Velvet Comforter set)
  2. Choose your accent color (s) ( we chose chocolate brown and gray-blue)
  3. Figure out what pieces you already have (we were able to reuse the bed, the side table, the arrangement, the vintage picture, the bed throw and the brown pillows)
  4. Determine what pieces you need to buy (we bought the Lisette comforter set (C/O), the rugs, the blue pillow, the curtains and the curtain rod)
  5. Lay out the best arrangement for your room (we moved the bed and took out a large entertainment center)
  6. What is your budget?  (we decided to just redo the bed at this point but in the future we will probably add a chest of drawers, a small desk and a side chair.  Our budget for this part of the redo was $250 and we achieved that easily.)

Think Midnight Velvet for your Room Refresh or Redo

    I like the Sapphire bedding b/c it would match our wall color and my DH doesn’t like anything too girly.

    The Bella Rosa would go best in our Master Bedroom, besides it is also elegant and not too “girly”, so my husband will approve!
    Thanks

    My favorite comforter set is the Pintuck Oversized Comforter Set.
    I love the look and width of this comforter and the face that it would hang over the sides of out bed to the top of the box spring.
    This would keep me from waking up in the middle of the night without cover because my husband has taken it all.
