The Delridge

Master Bedroom

Today, we’re excited to share more of a recently completed project, the Delridge master bedroom! Created as a serene retreat to escape to at the end of the day, the room mixes neutral tones, soft elements and lots and lots of texture.

The home was a new build, with all the hard finishes (paint, carpet) determined prior to starting the design. Because both the floors and walls in the room were light, we wanted to add depth for balance and did a dark grasscloth wallpaper behind the bed. It adds texture and also creates a beautiful focal point:

Along the room’s back wall, we needed to create a layout that felt balanced while working around around two small square windows. Because the windows didn’t open, our original plan was to cover the openings with frames for a more intentional look.

After testing a few layouts in the room, we decided to simplify and do 4 large frames above a floating vanity centered on the wall. The large scale of both the frames and vanity allowed the windows to blend into the design, instead of stand out (a win!)

Here’s the wall before:

And here’s the after!

For the bedding, we mixed patterns for personality, pairing an embroidered stripe pillow with a checkered throw and vintage rug. The light tones of the bedding beautifully juxtaposes with the dark wall paper behind.

Design tip: When pairing patterns together, keep the color palette cohesive by using patterns with complementary tones. You can also pull a few colors from other parts of the room, such as artwork or a rug, into the textiles for a collected look.

The rug in the room was a vintage oriental style — it pulls in colors used throughout the bedding and adds interest to the predominantly modern contemporary design.

Along the room’s back wall, we incorporated a floating vanity with concealed storage inside. We worked with a local craftsman to design this piece with a custom stain color. It functions as both a vanity and a desk and is a great place to get ready in the morning! The center compartment flips up with drawers on either side.

We did motorized woven waterfall shade on the windows — made of bamboo and grass, the coverings add a lot of warmth to the room. Motorized window treatments are especially great in rooms in which window coverings are opened more frequently, for convenience. Here’s an in-progress video of the shades, taken while we were implementing the design:

We’ll be sharing a few design tips from this project on the blog next week — check back next week for those!
