The Answer – my Master bedroom.
The question – Which room in my home do I field the most questions regarding design elements?
This is our sanctuary. We live in our master bedroom more so than any other room in the home. And we know this about ourselves. To this point, we had the builder expand this room a little while our home was under construction.
Truth be told, I have been dying to update our master bedroom. I did not want to do a complete overhaul. Therefore, I wanted to focus on lighting and accessories.
First, a little history. We have been in our home for nearly 4 years. Right before we closed escrow, Tony and I went on a “decorating mission” over the course of a couple of weeks. Well, Tony was with me while I perused stores with my scaled graph paper drawings for every room in our home. He was a total trooper during this decorating shopping spree.
I loved everything we chose then and still do today. But, it’s time for an update and today is the day for my master bedroom reveal. Are you ready to see the updated look?
I have recently updated several spaces in my home. I’ve learned that adding a new chandelier makes a huge difference. This was the item I started with in our master bedroom.

It’s by Aidan Gray and has strands of capiz shells and a beautiful silver finish. I so happy with the details. Update: this chandelier is no longer available, but this is a very similar one.
The light color of the new chandelier gave the room a more airy look, which I love.
I also traded my old lamps for a new pair of silver ones. They seem less heavy than their predecessors and they compliment the new chandelier.
Next, I replaced my wall sconces with a pair that are less ornate. The new ones are called Skvode Candle Sconces and I love the vintage-glam look they provide. I also love that they have a jagged edge, which provides an unexpected quality to an otherwise soft room.
Remember that I said I did not want to do a complete overhaul? In general, the bedding and the decorative pillows have remained the same, but I switch them around often. Learning to restyle your bedding can give you a fresh look at little to no added expense.
Lastly, I decided to use a round mirror from my entry in this corner. It’s a favorite spot of ours to enjoy the view from this cozy chair. I love how the mirror ties the dresser and the lounge chair together.
There you have it! I’d love to hear your thoughts and what you think about the new look!
As always, thank you for visiting Decor Gold Designs! Also, a special thanks to Aidan Gray. They were very generous to provide several products for this master bedroom update. I have loved and purchased their pieces for years, long before this project. The quality and beauty of their pieces is superb. It is my honor and pleasure to work with Aidan Gray, but I am completely honest with you, my readers, with respect to my reviews of the items I am sharing today.

June 6, 2017 at 1:01 pmThis is my favorite bedroom in blogland and I have looked at many. Your decorating style is so peaceful and inviting. I love how you integrate rustic with pretty and balance embellishment with restraint. Perfection!
Jennifer says
June 8, 2017 at 11:51 pmWhat a compliment!! Thank you so much Linda! You described my ultimate goal for my bedroom perfectly and I am thrilled to know that you believe I achieved it. Your comment truly made my day….thank you again!
Judy English says
June 11, 2017 at 9:03 amI so agree with you. The room is such elegance and restraint and not being fussy. The eye can see the balance of the items in the room. Also love the balance of the patterns on the bedding. I could also spend lots of time in this room. I especially love the chaise and the sconces. The room is breathtaking.
Jennifer says
June 11, 2017 at 9:59 amThank you so much Judy! Like Linda’s above, your words are incredibly complimentary and I appreciate them immensely. Both of the items you love are favorites of mine as well!

Nina
Jennifer says
June 8, 2017 at 11:46 pmHi Nina! Thank you so much!! It is from Anthropologie, but I purchased it (along with 2 matching pillows) a year or so ago. I hope you can find it or something similar!
Sandy says
June 30, 2017 at 9:35 amYour room is stunning!! Actually your whole house is. But I agree that a master bedroom is the. It’s important room of the house. It should be a master piece!
Would you mind sharing where the frames above your headboard are from? They are perfect!
Thanks for sharing your gorgeous designs with us!
Jennifer says
July 10, 2017 at 3:33 pmThank you Sandy! They are from RH. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Terri says

Julie says
July 3, 2017 at 4:13 amHello. Was wondering what color your floors are? Are they grey? Do you like them? We are
Redoing ours and trying to decide if we should do grey or dark? Thx
Jennifer says
July 5, 2017 at 11:12 amHi Julie! The are dark brown with gray undertones. We do like them very much. Good luck with your decision!
Kelly says
July 18, 2017 at 7:34 amThis is a beautiful space!! I was wondering about the flooring, too! Is this prefinished? If so, do you know what kind of flooring it is?
Thanks – Kelly
Jennifer says
July 18, 2017 at 1:30 pmHi Kelly! Thank you! It was prefinished and I believe the wood is hickory, but that’s all I know. I hope this helps!!!

July 10, 2017 at 6:35 amBeautiful update! It was beautiful before too. Is your rug really from Overstock? If so, which color and size is it? How’s it holding up? It’s hard to see the true tones , but is it cream, taupes and grays? Could you share where you got the bed and what color is it? I love the headboard. Is the settee at the end of the bed from RH? What colors is it? We need one for our bedroom, and I love the idea of putting it at the end of the bed. Love your new chandelier and lamps. I just LOVE that style of chandelier. So elegant but casual at the same time! 🙂
Jennifer says
July 10, 2017 at 3:26 pmThank you so much! The rug on Overstock is the exact same rug that we purchased. I found it at a local design shop, but I match the color and style numbers and found it online. I believe ours is 9 x 12. It has held up beautifully for 4 years. It’s cream, taupe/gray, but it looks different depending on the lighting. It truly is beautiful in person. The bed and settee are from RH. I don’t think they have the exact bed design anymore. The color is gray, but they definitely don’t have the same gray as we selected. Sorry! After 4 years, it’s hard to find exact matches. I’m thrilled with the new lamps and chandelier too! Thanks again for your kind words!!!
Neeta says

October 1, 2017 at 3:42 amLove love love this room. Where did you get the grey throw blanket that’s on the bed in some of the pics? I have been searching in vain for something exactly like this!
Jennifer says
October 6, 2017 at 4:59 pmThank you Michelle! The throw on the chair is from Anthropologie. Is that the one you are asking about? I believe the bed only has white bedding.
Rebecca says
October 22, 2017 at 8:53 amHi! Your home is inspiring. I’m searching for a happy neutral paint. What’s your paint color? Thanks!
