Before and After: Creating a Bedroom 'Off the Cover' by Yourself

When you look at the result that Jenna achieved, it's hard to believe your eyes. From ordinary pine boards and particle board panels, she created an original and inspiring decor that you want to recreate. Her ideas are so simple that anyone can implement them. However, this interior looks as if it were created by a team of architects and decorators.

The Perfect Duo

The homeowner chose two main colors for her bedroom – white and dark gray. They echo and support each other on the walls, ceiling, and furniture.

However, special attention deserves the finishing. The wall behind the bed headboard was decorated with simple pine boards. The decor of the opposite wall is nothing more than a combination of particle board panels and wooden moldings. The main task was to sand any minor irregularities. Including the places where screws were attached and natural wood imperfections. The result is impressive.

A New Solution

The window in its original design looked boring. They didn't change the frame, but they made the sill, sills, and trim from the same pine molding. Thin narrow boards were polished and painted with semi-matte white paint. As a result, the window looks bigger, and the room feels brighter.

The Power of Illusion

The ceiling is Jenna's pride. It looks absolutely authentic. Yet it's fake. Laminate panels and polystyrene beams finished to look like wood. Cheap, durable, and beautiful. Reasonable savings on finishing allowed the homeowner to allocate more money for furniture and decor.

The Magic of Details

Jenna carefully selected the decor over time. She thought through every detail. The main principle is naturalness. The soft bed headboard is covered in linen. Instead of bedside tables, wicker baskets attached to wardrobes. Instead of a coffee table, an actual oak barrel. A cozy sofa by the window and an aged dresser. Candles, towel hooks, internal wardrobe finishing – all of this looks organic and self-contained. Only the plasma panel seems like some alien in this world of harmony and comfort.

The Secret to Success

Jenna considers the bedroom one of the most successful rooms in her house. Everything turned out exactly as she wanted. At the same time, the renovation budget was relatively modest. However, thanks to simple yet elegant finishing and decor chosen with soul and attention to detail, she created a room 'off the cover' of an interior magazine.
