Primary Bedroom #1

Why we love it: The large, beautiful chandelier is the first thing we notice in this room. It is perfectly sized for the room and is an elegant touch. The tall ceilings make the room feel spacious and airy. Each furniture piece is hand-selected and meshes well together. The wall moulding is a timeless design feature along with the arched frame into the closet. 

Why it may not be for you: While beautiful,  the space overall does lack more bold colors. Some people may prefer more color and character than what this room provides. Additionally, it may be too large/airy for some and can be hard to make feel cozy.

Why we love it: This primary bedroom gives off modern and bold design vibes. We love the dark accent wall and bright gold lamp shades. They strike a very interesting focal point drawing the eye to the center of the wall. The overhead chandelier ties in perfectly with the modern design of the room.

Why it may not be for you: This room may be too moody or modern for some. Additionally, the lighting selections are bold. While we love bold light selections others may feel like they want understated lighting instead.

Primary Bedroom #3

Why we love it: This bedroom is simple and elegant. It has all of the elements you need in a bedroom with deep, rich colors incorporated. The warm mauve duvet and dark walnut nightstand pair well with the inspired artwork over the bed. You can see the curtains reach all the way up indicating the room as a tall ceiling. With the added rug and fall-toned florals there is an overall intimate feeling. 

Why it may not be for you: Many homeowners are opting for hardwood floors in their bedrooms rather than carpet. The carpet in this bedroom may be an eyesore for you. Additionally, the colors in here are very autumnal and may only be appealing during that time of year.

Primary Bedroom #4

Why we love it: All of the pieces in this room go perfectly with one another. The canopy bedframe fills the vaulted ceiling space. The blue curtains add dimension and tie in with the blue bed pillows. Two table lamps on either side of the bed allow for easy access to nighttime lighting. 

Why it may not be for you: The interior style definitely leans more coastal. Not everyone will find that coastal interior design appeals to them. Some people may prefer to  source their lighting outside of table lamps to leave their nightstands free and clear. 

Primary Bedroom #5

Why we love it: Those large bedroom windows provide a gorgeous amount of natural light. The fireplace is a cozy addition and the basket weave light hung from the high-vaulted ceilings provide cabin aesthetic. The large bed looks inviting with the choice of linens and pillows. 

Why it may not be for some people: Large windows can make it difficult to maintain a consistent room temperature. While the ceilings are quite tall, the lenght of the room is somewhat short for the scale. It could make the space feel cramped over time. 

Primary Bedroom #6

Why we love it: Simply put, color! We love all the color in this primary bedroom. the greens and blues all fit together so nicely. Additionally the matching bed and curtain pattern adds a beautiful touch. The ceiling light fixture is small but that is made up for with bedside sconces and table lamps. This room is styled in a coastal chic way that makes you feel like a beach vacation is an every day occurence. 

Why it may not be for you: The patterns in the room may feel too overwhelming on any given day. Plus the colors may not appeal to everyone.
