ORC Week One: Dark & Moody Master Bedroom Inspiration

mirandaschro| Home+ Makeovers

Dark & Moody Master Bedroom Inspiration | Miranda Schroeder Blog

This post contains affiliate links. Thanks for keeping my creativity afloat.

The One Room Challenge™, currently in its seventeenth season, is a widely anticipated biannual event every Spring and Fall. Each round, twenty design influencers are selected to take the challenge, as Featured Designers, and transform a space in 6 short weeks! Other’s have the option to participate as guest designers (that’s me friends)!

To date, more than 3,800 rooms have been transformed through the One Room Challenge™ and for this round, I’m tackling our master bedroom. My goal is to take it from light and staged to a dark, cozy hideaway!

A little background… We just moved and our new house is slowly but surely starting to come together! Out of the 4 houses I have owned, this is the ONLY house that has been renovated. All 3 of my other homes were historic, so I’m trying to find creative ways to bring more of my vintage and moody vibes to this home.

Our last house had a black and white dining room and it was one of my favorite rooms in the house. I knew I wanted to paint a room black in our new house, but I wasn’t sure which one. I landed on our bedroom and I’m so excited to watch this design come to life (I hope you are, too)!

The entire house is this neutral, grey color. My husband wanted to keep the bedroom light, but I’ve somehow convinced him to let me paint the whole thing black, and he’s actually excited about it now.

All of the walls will be limousine leather by Behr Paint, and it’s going to make the floor and trim pop. Now, let’s look at some of my inspiration for this dark, moody master bedroom design!

I’ve been loving all of the board and batten and trim work I’ve been seeing on Pinterest and Instagram! We are going to add paneling to the wall behind the bed to give it a 3 dimensional look.

White bedding and curtains along with a vibrant, red Persian rug will be a nice contrast against the dark walls. I’m also adding brass sconces to each side of the bed over black nightstands.

For the little window, nook area, the plan is to add a love seat, rug and small coffee table to create the ultimate coffee lounge. It’s going to be cozy and snuggling for curling up with a good book!

I can’t wait to get to work on this room! I have quite a few things I still need to order, but we have our wood for the trim ready, and I purchased our nightstands. Follow along on Instagram for all the updates!

My Unconventional Goals for 2021

You guys said you would be up for some progress sh You guys said you would be up for some progress shots, so here we go! A little corner of our room that might not look like much, but man, a lot of work went into getting it here 🥰 #historichomes #renovation #bedroominspo
Throwback to one of our previous kitchens (that I Throwback to one of our previous kitchens (that I completely transformed with $500.00) because it is a constant reminder that you can make your home your own without spending thousands of dollars! 💸⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I've been sharing all the BTS of current house projects in my stories. We are definitely hiring things out here and there this time, but still sticking to a tight budget.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
There ARE maybe 1.5 rooms worth posting on Instagram (In my opinion). Half wallpapered walls and green carpeted floors don't really seem all that appealing to me 😂⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So tell me what you do/don't want to see on the feed! Photos of our previous homes? Progress shots? My face? Andrew's face? Our dogs? 😆 Idk. You tell me!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Even though progress feels slow, we have major things happening in the next few weeks!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Next week, ceilings and walls are getting smoothed, patched and prepped for paint. Once they are done, I'm breaking out my paintbrush before our downstairs floors get refinished the week of the 25th.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I AM SO EXCITED to see this come together 🥳 I'm ready to shop for furniture/art and to decorate.⁠⠀

Every December I sit down and write an elaborate “plan” for the upcoming year full of hopes, wishes and goals I would like to accomplish.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I have the notebooks from the last three years, and when I look back at my entries, not much has changed.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This year is different. Not because of the pandemic. Not because I’m becoming a mom. But because I have a new perspective and view on life, love and work.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It seems that 2020 taught me to let go a bit. Live in the moment. Less stress. Less pressure. More LIFE.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
There is so much media out there pushing us to be more, do more, say more, spend more etc. I am OVER this hustle culture. I know what I am capable of, but what if I don’t WANT to grow a huge business and quit my corporate career?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I feel like I’ve been fed a narrative, and I’m just now waking up to my personal truth, finding my own groove, and understanding what works for me and my lifestyle. And more importantly, what doesn’t!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Head to the blog to read my 3 unconventional and somewhat vague (Isn't that a crime in goal setting?) goals for the new year #linkinbio⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Heading back to work after the holidays is rough 🤪⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I miss having all day to destroy and reassemble my house. We "finished" the bedroom last night & I could cry happy tears. By finishing, I mean we have this left to do 😂⁠⠀
⁠⠀
➖ Replace outlets/light switches + covers⁠⠀
➖ Install quarter round trim + paint it⁠⠀
➖ Re-hang main door⁠⠀
➖ Paint windows⁠⠀
➖ Figure out closet door situation⁠⠀
➖ Buy lamps ⁠⠀
➖ Buy curtain rods + curtains + hang⁠⠀
➖ Buy a light-fixture⁠⠀
➖ DIY + Hang art!⁠⠀
➖ Have electrician out for overhead light⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Meanwhile, we still haven't closed on our last house, so here is a photo to remind ourselves that we still own this place down the road 😅⁠⠀

Going into 2020, we had no idea where Andrew’s f Going into 2020, we had no idea where Andrew’s fellowship was going to take us. In January, he matched at IU & we were so excited to move “home.” Amidst the pandemic, we lived in FOUR different houses. We both changed jobs & now we have a baby on the way! A tough, but rewarding year that I honestly wouldn’t change 🖤 Going into 2021, I am so hopeful for all the good that is to come. I can’t wait to make our new house a home & to meet our baby girl! 🥰
HOLY COW. My entire body hurts but this room has c HOLY COW. My entire body hurts but this room has completely transformed in just a week! It’s been a labor of love. I finished painting tonight & we pulled the carpet... the floors are STUNNING & in perfect condition 😭🤩 The perfect reward after all of the hard work that went into removing the wallpaper/glue, restoring the plaster & painting! There is no overhead light in this room (yet) so I’ll have to share more tomorrow.
