Before + After bedroom
Restful sleeping and hideaway spot
The objective of this home styling project was to create a self-contained bedroom within a 60s studio apartment. Warm, neutral wall colors with turquoise accents, which run through this space like a common thread, extend to the bedroom with its petrol-toned bed linen. The biggest challenge with regard to this very small space, which was partitioned off for sleeping and resting, was the sourcing of perfect furniture for it. This furniture must offer maximum comfort while making optimum use of the small space available. To this end, we had a floor-to-ceiling closet custom-made. Distinctive sliding doors to match the wall colors camouflage this exquisite storage space. The more storage space the better - especially in small rooms.
Creating a new bedroom "Step by Step" nicely illustrates how it takes a professional eye to create this kind of magic space.
Step 1: Shell and drywall construction
The real estate agency wanted a separate bedroom for this unit. We therefore partitioned off a section of the studio apartment with drywall. The plan is to anchor two sliding doors to the right and left in the drywall construction.
Step 2: Finished sliding doors
The new wall is now fitted out with internal sliding doors. We deliberately coated the door surface in the same color as the wall to create the impression of a seamless wall, with no optical interruption where material or color is concerned.
Step 3: Cozy wall colors
The wall behind the bed will be painted in a darker hue. The same exact shade in fact as the wall behind the living room sofa. This shade of paint too is from the same color series that provided the lighter tone used for all the other walls in this apartment. The color intensity changes with the light conditions, thus creating an interesting sense of space.
Step 4: New building storageNeu Einbauschrank
Storage space is crucial in small rooms and apartments. Ceiling-high, built-in wardrobes are not only eye-catching, they also offer maximum storage space. I prefer to dispense with the classic bedroom closet in my room designs, as full-height sliding doors offer a wealth of design options.
Step 5: Ceeling ligth instalation
Installation of all ceiling and wall lights. Even though these lights are rather playful, and can hardly be considered "neutral and discrete", here we took our cue from the client who wanted "a touch of sophisticated luxury in the bedroom”.
Step 6: New bed has arived
An upholstered headboard ensures coziness and warmth. Many headboards come with removable fabric covers for easy cleaning. A high-quality barrel pocket spring mattress ensures excellent air circulation and thus a good nights’ sleep.
Step 7: Bed linen & co
Premium silk bed sheets along with sumptuous pillows and, if you like, a fur bedspread can easily transform a small bedroom into a spot of pure luxury.
Afterwards: ET VOILA
Good, healthy sleep is known to make you look your best. And waking up the next morning, your first view is of the sunny, open living area.
