Planning a Bedroom Refresh

In a few weeks time I'll be giving our bedroom a mini makeover. I've decided to paint one of the walls a pale pink / putty shade and transform our slightly unloved chest of drawers by painting it with an inky blue eggshell paint. I've noticed that I keep pinning any interiors images that feature dark blue, pale pink and ochre tones. When combined together these shades remind me of a modernised 1970's room scheme but with all the calmness of a Scandinavian style home. The perfect combo if you ask me.

To help me update the room I've put together a mood board and selected a few pieces of furniture (that I'd buy in dreamland) alongside some decorative pieces (that I may actually buy). I do love our bedroom but it has a lot of pieces that I've grown out of recently. It features quite a lot of primary coloured bits and bobs and I'd like to update it and make it feel a little more grown up. The aim is to keep the rustic elements like our vintage suitcases and books but combine those with something a little smarter. You can see what the room currently looks like here. I can't wait to show you the transformation!

These wicker star burst mirrors are so wonderfully retro, I love how the wood adds a lot of warmth. 

You really can't beat proper linen bed sheets, there's honestly nothing better to sleep in and they come in the best shades too.

I love West Elm for Mid-Century style furniture, I'd really like some sort of bench for next to our bed as we're replacing the old bureau.

Not exactly designed for the bedroom but I think these star candle holders from Rose and Grey are amazing. Can you tell I like stars?

I'd really like to get a Scandinavian or Mid-Century bedside table to pop a new lamp on. This DIY project is a modern take on that idea.

I love the rustic quality that baskets can bring to a room and I think these two from The Future Kept could hide a lot of bedroom or laundry mess! 

Nothing beats string shelving and one day I will have at least one set! For now I'm taking inspiration from the styling of this gorgeous gold unit. 

Do you have any room update or makeover plans? I think January is the perfect time to do it!
