BR Concept Soft & Whimsical Luxury...

This is the second part of the 1-bedroom project in my building in Gramercy.  So the below is my client's bedroom in it's current state.  It's very contemporary with a mod flair.  It has a lot going on but everything feels like it's fighting each other.  There's not a smooth flow between the bedding and wall color and painting and bed frame, etc.   And it's not 100% finished either, it's not a cozy room and a bedroom must be just that.  As you can see there are no window treatments, no rug, everything is pretty dark (furniture, bedding) and very stark (white walls) not to mention there's a awful accent wall! 

So after I met my client she is very fashion forward, has great taste and like I mentioned before just has trouble translating it into her home.  The first couple times I met her she was wearing beautiful dusty purple and mauve hues that reminded me so much of Chloe.  I also know she prefers a modern look with a bit of eclecticism and maybe a hint of vintage.

The picture below is what I began with....pulling some swatches here and there.  It's definitely a process that evolves as you go.  I love layering and don't think anything should be rushed.  If it's rushed, it will end up feeling contrived and store bought, not organic.  I knew she wanted something completely different from her living room so I thought why not make it very lux and girly.




As the inspiration evolved and I've been able to focus on additional items like softscaping here's some more things I pulled...




And here's a more detailed version for the left side of the board...




Here's another picture including a stool I want to incorporate...





And here's a more detailed version of the right side....



 Hope you enjoy...can't wait for it to keep evolving and the paint & wallpaper to be up soon!

  7. I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming
    having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it
