Primary Bedroom

Mae Lutz

When we first moved into our home, our primary bedroom was as plain as could be—white walls, no character, nothing special. I knew I wanted to transform it into a moody, vintage-inspired retreat, so I went all in, and let me tell you—it was worth it!

The first thing I did was add wall panel moulding and crown moulding to give the space that classic, architectural feel. To take it up another notch, I installed a fireplace and a ceiling medallion, both of which instantly added charm and history to the room. Then came the paint—color drenching the entire space in a deep, rich green called Field Trip by Clare Paint. I used a paint sprayer to get the job done after installing the moulding because painting all those details by hand would have taken forever. If you’re considering a project like this, I highly recommend a sprayer to save time and get a flawless finish.

For furniture, I mixed vintage and modern pieces to create a layered look. My nightstands are from TJ Maxx, and the vintage bedside table lamps and stunning chandelier are both from an antique store called Queen of Hearts. The arched canopy bed brings a modern touch, while the solid brass door knobs, switch plate covers, and hinges add a timeless elegance. The white rug helps balance out all the dark tones and keeps the space from feeling too heavy.

To bring in texture, I added bird-patterned curtains that feel playful yet sophisticated. The mirror in the room is grand, gold, and absolutely stunning—one of my favorite pieces. For art, I incorporated a black and white print from BigWallDecor, along with a vintage piece I found at an estate sale next door when we first moved in. I also brought in a live-edge console table from World Market to add a bit of organic warmth. To finish the space, I added two rust-colored swivel chairs, which not only make the room feel cozy but also bring in another modern touch.

This room has truly become my favorite space in the house. It’s the one that defined my home decor style—moody, vintage, and a little bit modern. Every time I walk in, I feel like I’m stepping into a space that tells a story, and I wouldn’t change a thing.
