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 just wanted to let you know that I’m only get your daily emails once a wk. If you still have Feedburner that is why. They don’t deliver to some servers and mine is one of them.Other blogs I follow had to switch to Feedblitz or Mad Mimi because they were losing all their readers.Truth is if it’s not in my box I forget.I blame it on menopause and chemo brain.Lol!

    Your bedroom looks amazing just goes to show you how a small investment can make such a huge difference. The whole mood of the room changed. My favorite piece from Midnight Velvet is the Kingstone bedding. I love that it has a rich elegant feel but is not overly dramatic. I am in bedspread love.

    Champ Des Fleurs Bedding is my favorite. It is neutral colors and isn’t too feminine or masculine.

    I like the Saphire Set. My bedroom is a pale green with lots of pictures of the ocean. I think the blues and greens would look awesome in my room.

    Serengeti Jacquard 10-Piece Bed Set because it’s leopard and stylish. I also love that it has 10 pieces. Adore the Sheba Bedding set as well. It looks so modern and comfortable too.
