Master Bedroom Before And After Photos

Weekend Project

Create a bedroom that makes you feel like a design rockstar by building a strong foundation and layering in a few key elements. It's easier than you might think if you use these bedroom makeover ideas.

Before: Plain to Pretty

Bedroom

Do you remember the good old days of sponge paint? This master bedroom does! Pale purple walls surround an oversize sleigh bed and a patchwork quilt. Plum window treatments and side tables are the only other accents beyond a mini picture shelf above the headboard. This open space has little personality, making it resemble a generic hotel room.

After: Plain to Pretty

Bold bedroom decorating ideas and gorgeous accents make up for the way this master bedroom used to look. A new bed frame without a footboard takes up less space (enough to accommodate two new stools), and custom trim and molding class up an accent wall. Bright whites with pops of coral instantly freshen up the room. To top it off, full and fluffy fabrics, including furry rugs and stylish bedding, create a cozy space in which to dream.

It seems like the guest room is always the last room in the house to earn a small bedroom makeover. As a final move-in project, these homeowners decided to do something about their neglected guest space. Their goal: Make the room look more accommodating. With hard-wood floors and no decorations, the space looks cold and uninviting, which is the last thing you want from a guest room.

More than a little effort was put into this guest bedroom. Luxurious bedding would have sufficed, but the homeowners went all out, adding a quaint sitting space by the large window. Textural jute carpeting, slate shiplap walls, and reclaimed wood beams rest below a beaded-board ceiling. A crystal and iron chandelier provides the finishing touch this guest room deserves. When you use every interior design idea in the book, it really pays off.

Special attention should be given when a child moves into his or her own room. This guest room was in no shape to be a teenager's private sanctuary, but the blank slate was set for her dreams to become reality. See what mature bedroom design ideas she choose to incorporate into a space that will be hers for many years to come.

Done with pink frills and polka dots, the teen girl whose bedroom this belongs to wanted a sophisticated take on feminine. Beautiful toile wallpaper was the inspiration for the room's color scheme. Yellows, whites, and grays echo the accent wallpaper throughout the room. A desk and vanity combo sits in one corner, and a lovely crystal chandelier hangs above the bed. Bedroom makeover ideas based on colors, instead of uber-specific themes, will grow with your teen as their goals and interests change.

Before: From Garage to Guest Room

bedroom

This basement garage overhaul was a bedroom interior design project that pulled out all the stops. The underutilized space was prime real estate for both a playroom and a guest room, but to get there, they would need to take on major reconstruction. In the end, it was all worth it. Plus, it gave the homeowners an excuse to eliminate clutter.

Would you ever guess this room used to be part of a garage? We sure wouldn't. Pure white beaded-board covers the walls, as well as special bump-outs for air ducts. Taking inspiration from the room's original use, a few furniture pieces and light fixtures even boast industrial style. Bright colors and bold patterns do the rest of the work to make this guest room a cozy and creative space. It takes dedication to pull off a small bedroom makeover like this.

Before: Attic Antics

Sometimes an empty room is the best place to start a fabulous bedroom suite. These first-time homeowners were lucky to buy a home with unused attic space. Their dream of a perfect master bedroom became a reality without the cost of an expensive add-on. See how they used their favorite DIY bedroom makeover ideas on a budget.

Small Master Bedroom

Stellar built-ins, hardwood floors, and a spacious window seat are just a few of the fine features in this beautiful bedroom. White trim and baseboards create a bold break between dark wood floors and pretty blue walls. Primary colors used throughout the rest of the suite bring a little fun to the subdued color palette. With these bedroom interior design solutions, you would never guess this room used to be an empty attic.

Before: Neutral and Natural

Bedroom before

Floor-to-ceiling wood paneling wasn't cutting it in this master bedroom. Even with a second-floor sliding door, the dark wood walls dimmed the room. New bedroom lighting ideas and a clean slate were in order to brighten the bedroom. Once they nixed the dated walls, the results were like night and day.

After: Neutral and Natural

The soft, bright whites of this master suite completely counter the room's original dark hues. After pulling up the carpet, they discovered beautiful wood floors, which they painted white and finished with a shiny top coat. To keep the floors from looking too cold, two small rugs sit on either side of the bed, welcoming warm feet first thing every morning. A variety of natural elements supplies the rest of the soothing color palette.

Before: Flat and Matte, Meet Metallic

Bland simply won't do for a master suite. Plain walls and early '90s sconces only emphasize this bedroom's dated decor. With such little personality, you could hardly see the difference between this space and a hotel bedroom! A hint of glamor was in order to take the bedroom from drab to divine.

After: Flat and Matte, Meet Metallic

bedroom with ornate headboard

What a difference wall paint makes! The Art Deco pattern painted on the walls mimics gold decor found around the room. A vintage headboard, repainted with gray chalk-finish paint, was refurbished, along with a vintage mirror frame, to showcase original gold accents. Easy bedroom makeover ideas like this have a surprising impact on a room and can be accomplished at a low cost if you don't hire professional help.

Decorating with Gold

Before: Mixed-Style Suite

Although yellow is pretty, too much can be overwhelming. The same principle applies to the super-tall ceiling, which is daunting without art on the walls. With both yellow walls and bedding, the vibrancy in this room is overpowering, but a calming color could create a restful haven. See how these homeowners tackled their long list of upgrades in an efferent, timely manner.

After: Mixed-Style Suite

Bedroom

New furnishings bring an elegant, modern twist to this bedroom. A chandelier adds drama, and the casual bed prevents the traditional elements from making the room too stuffy. Pale gray-blue walls are a soothing touch and extended crown molding brings the ceiling down to create a more cozy space. Smart bedroom interior design like this proves that even the most dated spaces can be drastically improved with a little love and attention.

Before: Unused or Epic?

Bedroom before

Sometimes the best bedroom makeover ideas aren't used in a bedroom at all. As a second living room, this area had no real use. Rather than letting good space go to waste, the homeowners opted to put up some walls to create the ultimate bedroom and play space for their kids.

After: Unused or Epic?

Walls were built, shelving torn down, and amazing bunk beds added. This is how you create the ultimate kids room. With plenty of space to play and chic style that children at any age will love, you'll never need to update your child's room again! Added bonus? Below the bottom bunk is a slide-out twin-size bed for overnight friends.

Tip: These homeowners had to splurge on some major projects, but saved money where they could. Since hard-wood floors aren't ideal for play time, they added fun carpet squares to the room. This solution was much more cost-effective than tearing up the floors and adding carpet.

Real-Life Bedroom Decorating Ideas

Before: This-Century Living

Carpeting from the '60s, original to the house, was matted and discolored by the time the new homeowners renovated in 2015. A lack of ceiling light didn't help the situation, either. Updated walls, furniture, and window coverings make this place a room we'd love to stay in! You won't believe this master bedroom renovation.

After: This-Century Living

After pulling up the carpet, the hardest part of the remodel was choosing the best floor material. Hardwood won, though a grass-cloth rug provides a softer step for bare feet in the mornings. Floor-to-ceiling blackout curtains line the east window, while a bamboo shade covers the north. Modern bedroom design ideas come into play with the brass-plated accents and sleek furniture.

Before: Old to New

When you're fresh out of college, you'll take what you can get in the way of dressers, bed frames, bedding, and decor. These homeowners finally decided to update their master bedroom after being in their careers for a few years. It was time to say good-bye to hand-me-down wood furniture and hello to fresh paint and stylish accents.

Fully furnished, this fancy and semiformal master bedroom is a young adult's dream. The mix-and-match patterns between the rug, throw pillow, and valances are stellar. The pop of pink is just enough to pull the room together, while the fabric bed frame and headboard add comfort. Loud accents around the room helped the homeowner save on wall art. A singular accent mirror above the bed is all she needed to dress up her wall.

Before: Room to Grow

Bedroom before

This sparse bedroom is just asking to be filled with more style! Such a huge space feels wasted with a full-size bed set taking up only half the room. Dark fabrics don't help the spacial fullness when surrounded by matching neutral carpet and walls. See what interior design ideas get used to give this room a major upgrade.

After: Room to Grow

Bedroom

The homeowners opted to restyle and completely redo this master bedroom. A new king-size bed better fills the space, while a rug warms up newly installed hardwood floors. The original chandelier got a cleanup and hangs proudly overhead. Symmetry was the name of the game when decorating the rest of the space. The artwork, side table, pillows, and window coverings on the left side of the room perfectly mirror the right.

Before: Brassy to Classy

A brass bed paired with toile bedding and curtains dates the look of this master bedroom. Mismatched furniture surrounds the room, and an aged, hand-me-down rug begs to be replaced. The messy demeanor of the room means an organizational system is needed in this small bedroom makeover.

After: Brassy to Classy

blue and red bedroom

What a refresh! Blue and white still reign in this bedroom makeover, but red accents—like a new rug and a painted nightstand—spice things up. The DIY headboard was made with a curtain strung onto pegs, and the old brass bed was repainted to create a brushed-black finish. Framed artwork looks uniform on the walls and piles of clothes are neatly returned to their drawers and organized closet space.

Before: Rigid to Cozy

Square corners on everything including the comforter in this boring bedroom leave the room feeling less than comfortable. Speaking of the bedding, it weighs down the otherwise light sleeping quarters. This room needs some fresh bedroom makeover ideas to bring it back to life.

After: Rigid to Cozy

Green bedroom

Splashes of color and curved textures make all the difference in this makeover. Flowing, complementary curtains address the rigidness of the boxy window and blinds. Two-tone green walls make the brown bedding appear less stark, while an added blanket lays on top of the bed for more warmth and comfort. At the foot of the bed, a tan bench poses as a grounding neutral.

Our Fave Green Color Schemes

Before: Finding Interest

Neutrals can look fresh and exciting in a small bedroom makeover. However, this bedroom's clean lines and elegant furniture just missed the mark. With no real color to speak of, there's no accent to draw any attention or hold interest. See how these homeowners changed the look of their room without changing the color of the walls.

After: Finding Interest

Plum and sand bedroom

Leaving the current furniture and wall paint as is, this room was spruced up with new accent pillows, pretty purple curtains, and a matching rug. Even the bedding remained mostly the same, with a new throw blanket and purple accents embroidered onto the existing comforter. Abstract art fills a once-blank wall, along with fresh florals. Bedroom design ideas like this are welcome and budget-friendly.

Before: How Good Becomes Great

Pretty colors, chic furniture, and beautiful hardwood floors show that not all rooms require a total overhaul. Although this bedroom has a lot going for it, it lacks personality. With a few minor changes, this sweet room can get just a little sweeter. See what innovative wall treatment brought this room to the next level.

It's hard to believe such a difference could be made in this bedroom while still using the original furniture, flooring, and wall color. A new accent throw and pillows help break up the sea of white on the bed. Most strikingly, though, is how one-of-a-kind wainscoting transforms the space into one of intrigue and beauty. A small ledge on top of the wall treatment makes hanging art and changing prints effortless.
