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!

I love the Lisette Smocked Comforter Set in light blue. I love blue, and the look of this comforter set. It is gorgeous! Thanks for offering it.
I really like the Bamboo Grove. Looks like something both hubby and I could agree on. He wouldn’t go for anything flowery!
I hate having to choose. But actually there are only 3 that will match the walls…and since I have no intention of painting again for at least a year..
The Melissa, the 3 piece reversible, or the Metropolitan. I can’t go father than that without consulting the hubs who isn’t home right now. Not sure he would really care…but you never know and he has to live with it too.
Ohhhhhh Nice Comfortable
Love Blue Comforter Set, Pintuck Oversized, Square Pillow and Decorative Pillow, blue reminded me of the ocean
I would love the Melinda Bed Set, Pillow, Valance and Panel Pair for our guest room. It so needs color.
I like the Lisette Smocked Comforter Set because it is beautiful, and will look great in our bedroom.
My favorite is the one you chose but since I have to be original 😉 I also love the Royal Garden 8-Piece Bed Set with the gold in it it looks classy
I love the Ombre Leaf Comforter. It would give a real boost of color to my bedroom
The enchantment set. I love the color and it would be great in my room with my dark hard wood.

I like the Hudson Park Set. The colors (brown and turquoise) would perfectly complement my new aqua themed bedroom!
I like the Ombre leaf collection to match my room.
I really love the red tones in the Kalista Comforter Set. For me, there’s just something about red that I love in bedding.
My favorite comforter is the cottage rose comforter set because its simple but vintage at the same time.
The Callie Embroidered Comforter is our favorite. My niece would love this!

Thanks for the chance
Comforter Set, Pintuck Oversized, Square Pillow and Decorative Pillow is what I’d love to win because it’d match my bedroom perfectly!
My favorite is the Microflannel Comforter because it’s warm and neutral or can be tucked in a duvet cover.
