I have found that the smallest additions to a space are what really pull it all together. Some times these “small” things can be SO expensive though which makes it hard to want to invest in the final details to make the space feel complete and like your own. In a bedroom these last details usually include curtains, a rug, bedside tables and lamps.
Just about two years ago we found a few things to pull our master bedroom together, after living here for four years!! I’m thankful I was finally able to find those last details and ever since we have enjoyed our bedroom space so so much more! However, even though these small things do add up being conscious of what each piece costs and by keeping a thrifty budget in mind it can be done with out totally breaking the bank!! Thankfully awesome places like Target now have amazing home departments and I am so thankful! You can find just about anything you need for your home and not only afford it but also love it!
This Christmas we got my sister and brother-in-law a duvet and shams for their gift (the one pictured from West Elm). They have been in their house for about a year now and have been working hard in making it their home. Since I started the whole project with the gift I figure I’d better help out a bit by offering a few “ideas” on options for their master bedroom!!
Lets be honest seeing a visual representation is SUPER helpful too! This is a trick I often do before buying anything new for a space! So here are a few fun options cut and pasted together using the paint program on my computer, keeping it classic over here.
Rug 1
With just a rug, lamps and bedside tables and curtains there are so many options and each really does change the look!! I like this rug because of the added color and dimension it offers. My very favorite overall look is this first photo. Everything is from Target except the lamps are from Ikea. For ease of ordering and expediting the process letting the lamps go might be necessary! I think I like both the yellow and gray gourd lamps equally!!

Gray Curtains – $19.99 each x 2
Yellow Organic Blanket – $38.99
Look 2:
Gray Curtains – $19.99 each x 2
Yellow Organic Blanket – $38.99
Yellow Small gourd lamp – $9.78 (on clearance! This is a STEAL!!!)
Look 3:
Gray Curtains – $19.99 each x 2
Yellow Organic Blanket – $38.99
Gray Medium Gourd Lamp – $10.48 (on clearance! This is a STEAL!!)
Silver Trim Lamp Shade – $14.99
Rug 2
I also really like this rug. It’s a little less busy and a little more neutral. I also like both lamp options here the first is more neutral but still has lots of texture and the second the yellow give a nice pop of color! I did find a secondary night stand below and tried that with this rug and since it is darker and the rug is lighter I felt they clashed too much and their wasn’t enough continuity to make the dark night stands work.
Look 4:
Gray Curtains – $19.99 each X 2

Gray Medium Gourd Lamp – $10.48 (on clearance! This is a STEAL!!)

Rug 3
Third rug option, I really like this rug too. It’s a whole lot more masculine but that isn’t a bad thing! Especially in a bedroom some times our tendency is to go ultra feminine and that isn’t always super appealing to the gents. I think the darker night stands work with this rug because of the darker tones in the rug. I also think the yellow lamps are really the only option to add a little bit of brightness to compliment the added darker tones.
Look 6:
Yellow Organic Blanket – $38.99
Yellow Small gourd lamp – $9.78 (on clearance! This is a STEAL!!!)
Rug 4
Lastly here is a whole new twist, new curtains, new rug and the darker night stands and the ikea lamps. Again I think with the more modern bold patterned rug these nightstands and lamps are the only choice that work really well. The curtains may be able to switch back to the solid gray used above but I think this small scale pattern is a nice balance to the bold pattern on the floor.
Look 7:
Gray Dash Curtain Panel – $14.99 Each
Yellow Organic Blanket – $38.99
It really is amazing the difference just a few small things can make! I hope you feel inspired to get busy and finish that space you’ve been putting off or just move some lamps around your house for a whole new look!
That’s my Shiny ~ J
