My Bedroom Refresh Progress!

My bedroom style and decor has been a bit of a puzzle for me the last six months. The room is large and it needs a fresh coat of paint on the ceiling, walls and in desperate need of new flooring–and my old bedroom furniture had seen better days. Since I haven’t wanted to financially prioritize flooring and painting yet, I’ve made furniture and decor updates slowly since moving into the house late July 2020.

The furniture and decor updates have really transformed the space, which will allow me to take some time to think through flooring and wall paint colors, and almost all my furniture upgrades are from Wayfair. I’ve bought furniture and decor from Wayfair and I’ve also partnered with them on this post!

Read on for my furniture upgrades and bedside essentials (plus before photos!):

My Bedside Essentials

First up, I recently upgraded my bed from a queen to a king and bought this upholstered platform bed from Wayfair. I love the beige color and how it adds contrast to my black nightstands.

I’ve recently organized my nightstands to contain a few more essentials like my migraine medication, hand and foot lotion and hair ties, plus my eyeglasses for prime TV watching in bed. Plus these cream lamps are very similar to mine with the built in usb ports which have made plugging in my phone at night a lot easier!

I also love to keep a calming candle nearby so I have a Diptyque candle in amber scent on my side of the bed and oud scent on the other nightstand. They look pretty on display and smell divine!

Additional Furniture Upgrades

I upgraded my tired, old dresser to this six drawer black dresser which matches the nightstands. It’s a quality dresser and a great price too. Plus, I love the gold handles and how it adds a bit of glam and luxury to the room.

I also added a seating area by my bay window. It just seemed like wasted space until I added chairs, this chunky knit throw and the hourglass end table. It’s so cozy that the dogs and I regularly sit here looking out the window in the morning.

And a before photo from one of the first few months in the house with my queen bed, nothing hung on the walls and less furniture!
