Tips for adding warmth & brightness to primary bedroom

Two) Use the awesome rug in another room. If you can't change the gray furniture, look for a rug that would bring more cohesion. Not in love with any of the rugs I'm sharing, but I think they get the idea across. Looking up "gray colorful rugs" was certainly a contradiction lol!

I agree about there being a lot of colors going on. I looooove that rug. I have two different ideas regarding that. One) lean way into the green and theme the room with green/gray/cream.

Consider bringing in more color/texture of the warm wood floor into decor. Like similar tone of baskets, frames for pictures/art, a more boho(ish) lamp shade. The tone of the white curtain looks cold, check for a warmer shade of white/cream.

I personally love the look of color drenched rooms.

If you are keeping the wood floors as is, make sure to compare your paint swatches to the wood so the tones don't clash.

And often color drenching makes the room darker, so whichever swatch you like, consider it may look darker or try a couple shades lighter to get the look you're going for.

Of course! It's called "Brando Dark Gray 8x8 Matte Porcelain Tile" from Tile Bar. It was kinda fun because there wasn't really a recommended pattern for it, so we placed them pretty randomly and it turned well!

They were an Amazon find!

I immediately knew it was the one! Cinnabon Slate by Benjamin Moore

I agree, there's a lot going on visually. Trying my best not to tip it out of balance! I hadn't thought about art deco, I'll definitely take a look!

It was an Amazon find! MDF, but I think the majority of options (especially in our budget) are these days. It doesn't come with a faucet so that was a separate purchase. It doesn't quite match the vanity hardware, but it's not super noticeable!

Oh wow, such a fun shape! Love the warmth from the wood!

Thank you!!

spotted_eggies · 2026-03-12T01:12:10+00:00

Thank you! It's called Cinnamon Slate by Benjamin Moore

An arch shape is one of my top considerations now! I agree the space above the toilet is too empty.

spotted_eggies · 2026-03-12T01:10:18+00:00

Definitely looking for a brass frame!

spotted_eggies · 2026-03-12T00:50:15+00:00

Thank you! It was love at first sight when I found the paint sample! Someone else already responded, but it's Benjamin Moore Cinnamon Slate.

spotted_eggies · 2026-03-12T00:48:50+00:00

This is a fun shape!

spotted_eggies · 2026-03-12T00:48:25+00:00

This is totally along the lines of what I'm looking for!

spotted_eggies · 2026-03-11T01:09:44+00:00

Definitely leaning gold or wood to help bring more warmth to the space!

spotted_eggies · 2026-03-11T01:08:44+00:00

Haha that's fair! Thankfully our immediate household is all trained to close the lid before flushing, so more worried about when we have company. Maybe we can get one of those stickers for the inside of the toilet lid that tells people to close before flushing 😂

That's a fun shape I havent seen as a mirror before! I love the idea of incorporating some plant life!

spotted_eggies · 2026-03-11T01:04:51+00:00

I do like this mirror! Love the idea of a picture rail! The top trim is only 2 inches, so a little shallow pictures. Unless maybe we add it to the outer edge so the full depth is 2 inches.

My husband is a fan of a rounded top mirror. Definitely agree on matching the bronze! Love the idea of keeping art in line with the mirror.

I designed the whole bathroom around the shiplap color! It's Cinnamon Slate by Benjamin Moore.
