Help me decorate my attempt at a mountain modern bedroom!
Comments (12)We love mountain modern homes, especially bedrooms. The white duvet is perfect with the dark walls and Pendleton blanket; adding lighting pieces through bedding and artwork will help brighten the space and provide contrast for the walls. As far as art for the room goes, you can keep it neutral to let the blanket shine or add more dimension and color to balance the blanket. In this room, we added art that was more colorful than the rest of the room, but because it stands alone, it shines: A more subtle and modern option: You can also add visually interesting light fixtures, especially any that will pop against the darker paint of your room: The colors and textures you have here are already a beautiful starting point. Good luck adding those finishing touches!...See MoreGuest Bedroom Decor

Comments (177)I'm not really sure what a "maximizer" is ... indecisive? Maybe trying to make individual items do too much heavy lifting? A room is more than the perfect curtain, or lamp, or paint color, it's all those items working together. Sometimes it can be hard to envision the final outcome, especially when going slowly. That's why I like design boards, and even use them for my own home decorating projects. Anyway, you definitely need a headboard, nightstands and lamps. While I think the gray nightstand is pretty, I also feel it is a bit too delicate for the more rustic look of your bedroom; I'd pass it along to your daughter. Here's what I would suggest otherwise: The wood panel headboard and nightstands gives a nod to your husband's love of wood, while also being pretty and practical. They also have enough heft to stand up to the wood paneling in the room. An inexpensive pair of table lamps will add symmetry and balance, while also echoing the brushed nickel curtain rods. A taller headboard centered on that window will look fine, as long as you balance it on each side with nightstands and lamps. (I prefer panel or upholstered headboards for anything other than a guest room, they are much more comfortable than metal ones, especially if you like to read at night.) While the current comforter set and the blue drapes look fine, I like the idea of going bolder with a navy bedding set. It's a six-piece set, and comes with two throw pillows; one of those could go on the glider. If you already have Euros, you could do navy or natural shams. Rather than navy blue drapes, I'd go with a natural linen style blackout drape. The ones I pictured are from Walmart, but most big box stores carry them. And while I prefer drapes hung higher, I think those in your bedroom are actually a little too high; I'd lower the rod to be about halfway between it's current position and the top of the window frame. Finally, I would advise against a faux fireplace in this room. First, I don't think you really have the room, and second they never look very natural. If you are wanting it for a heat source, something like this Dyson heater/fan is much more practical. We have one in our house. It can be used for heating or cooling, plus it has the added benefit of being able to be tucked away in a closet when not needed....See MoreHelp!

Comments (57)Yikes! I didn't know that about pop-up trundles. Good to know so as to avoid them. I wonder if there are different quality ones that might be better? The day bed looks like it might work for kids, but I would hate to be the person in the back who would be up against a wall and have to climb out over the front person. eta: I looked again and it looks like it can be designed so there is no back on it, which might work perfectly, so you can have it away from the wall for access from both sides....See MoreRelated Professionals
