Boy’s Bedroom – ASID Showcase Home

PROJECT DETAILS

Remodel Type: Bedroom

Design Style: Modern

Clients Favorite Part: Wall Graphics

Before Conditions

  • The Homeowner’s pre-teen son was switching bedrooms so nothing was his style
  • Needed window treatments, cushions, bedding, and accent furniture
  • No place for him to hang up his sports practice schedule, favorite pictures, etc.

Design Solutions

  • Selected a timeless gray and deep navy blue palette with painted wall stripes that aren’t juvenile
  • New gray wool roman shades are a masculine touch that provides excellent privacy and light control
  • New window cushions and throw pillows create a spot to curl up and read or do homework
  • Magnetic accent wall created between the closet and bedroom door using 6 layers of magnetic paint under the main wall color. This allows him a flexible place to hang papers and art without the depth or hassles of a cork board.

THE DETAILS

  • Removable large scale wall graphics add interest to walls without being permanent or tied to a favorite sports player he might not like in two years
  • Custom painted galvanized metal faux finish on top of existing desk with faux rivets and new drawer knobs breathe new life into an older piece
  • Orange accents throughout brighten up the vibe

About Colleen


I live in Minneapolis with my landscape architect/urban designer husband, my daughter who believes she’s my design assistant and sous chef, an independent Siamese, a feisty grey-striped kitten, and a menagerie of turkeys and other wild animals who visit our backyard for the free food. When I’m not designing, you’ll often find me cooking up a Paleo feast, cheering for my daughter's volleyball team, playing pickleball, or hiding in a corner with my nose in a book.
