Featured Project: Restful and Stylish Spa-Like Bedroom
“The homeowner wanted a
spa-like retreat for her bedroom.”
We loved seeing this project featured on Houzz. Our genuine thank you to the lovely Mitchell Parker for featuring this space in his lovely article on restful and stylish bedrooms. The Park Avenue Condo is a recent project, which provided many opportunities to innovate and leverage our creativity.
Project: Park Avenue Condominium
Scope: Full condominium and outdoor terrace transformation
Location: Atlanta, Georgia
Bedroom Size: 320 square feet (30 square meters); 16 by 20 feet
CREATIVE DIRECTION: “The homeowner wanted a spa-like retreat for her bedroom,” designer Minhnuyet Hardy says. “She loves the colors pink and purple and wanted a soft and serene bedroom to relax in. The homeowner also needed a lot of closed storage.”
“We sourced a textured grasscloth wallcovering that has a rose-colored background with a hint of shimmer to infuse a bit of girlie glam into the room.” — Minhnuyet
EXCEPTIONAL FEATURES: “We decided on various shades of rose to bring in the soft shades of pink without the room appearing juvenile,” Hardy says.
We painted the room Sherwin-Williams Mink, which is a gray with a purple undertone, to make the space cozy and moody. The existing window coverings lacked the ability to make the room dark, so we had fully functional motorized custom blackout drapery installed for complete darkness when needed. The large nightstands also function as mini dressers and help to accommodate extra storage.”
Matching dressers sit on the wall opposite the bed. The canopy bed combines weathered gray acacia wood with cotton blend upholstery.
SCALE MATTERS: “I feel that most homeowners select too small of a rug for the bedroom,” Hardy says. “For a king-size bed, we like a minimum size of at least 9 by 12 feet or larger if space will allow it. The rug should be placed so that it lays horizontal to the bed and 4 to 5 inches from the front of the nightstands.”
CHALLENGING ELEMENT: “The most challenging obstacle was that the existing ceiling fan was centered on the room but not centered on the bed,” Hardy says. “It was cost-prohibitive to move the junction box since it was a concrete ceiling under the sheetrock. We solved the offset centerline by sourcing this fabulous natural crystal chandelier that was asymmetric. You don’t notice that the chandelier is not centered on the bed at all.”
