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.
The 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?
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:
Steps for a Neutral Bedroom Redo
- Pick your base color (we choose the cream in the Midnight Velvet Comforter set)
- Choose your accent color (s) ( we chose chocolate brown and gray-blue)
- 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)
- 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)
- Lay out the best arrangement for your room (we moved the bed and took out a large entertainment center)
- 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
You don’t have to completely redecorate your bedroom to step up the style and great a fresh look. Just adding a Midnight Velvet comforter can transform and refresh any bedroom. Just look at how great our new guest room looks!

The Sapphire Bedding Set because I really like the vibrant colors in that bedding. Thanks!

I like the microflannel comforter. I’m one of those people that likes to sleep on flannel sheets through the year – I just like the texture so much! I also like that this has an anticlumping design, because I tend to wash my bedclothes until they fall apart on me!
I am redoing my guest room, and I would love to put a Velvet Carmen comforter on the bed in there!
I love how the Lisette comforter in your photos looks. I prefer a single color because it is restful and easy to change the look with whatever color or pattern you like and the ruching (?) makes it look interesting without being too busy. Beautiful room!
If I had it my way, I’d get the Hand-Stitched Cotton Voile Lightweight Comforter & Sham in pink… but hubs might like it better in aqua, so I’d compromise and get that. I love the texture and simplicity of it.
would love to win one 🙂 they are beautiful 🙂
I love the Sapphire Bedding because it would go so very well with my happy yellow walls
I like the Serenity Comforter. I am a warm sleeper, and that looks nice, but thinner than most.
i love all of them if i had to choose i would pick the Taipei Complete Bed Set, thank you
I think I like this one best: midnightvelvet.com/For-the-Home/Bedroom/Comforters/champ-des-fleurs-bedding-pillow-window-treatments.pro?fpi=119933&catCd=VW&prefixCode=VW sicne I think it would work well with my existing decor:)
I love the bold colors of the sapphire set. But I like the simpleness of thesmocked set too.
My favorite is the Sapphire Bedding because it’s not too feminine & my favorite color is blue.
Kismet set. my son is buying a new home. he likes the colors in this set. be great gift for him!
I like the Zaire comforter. I’m obsessed with zebra print and it’s black and red also 2 of my favorite colors
I like the Kismet bedding set. It is pretty, but I think my husband could live with it too. He hares froofroo bedding
I like the Hudson Park set. The colors are pretty.
I like the 3-Piece Reversible Comforter Set because you can switch it to the other side and get more use out of it
Its hard to choose. I like the colors in the new 21-Piece Serafina Woven Damask Bed Set.
I saw so many that I really loved but the Fantasy Satin Comforter would make me feel like a storybook princess.
Scottsdale Comforter Set, Pillow and Window Treatments because it matches my current decor
