Dark and Moody Room for My Daughter

I let my girls have some say in their bedrooms for the new house. When I asked my younger daughter what kind of room she wanted she said black. Yep, BLACK. Hmmm, not exactly what I had in mind. Let’s just say I had been picturing blush pink and gold. So I started looking to see how we could create a moody black room.

Wallpaper

I found this beautiful mural from A New Wall and fell in love with it. It was the dramatic design element I was looking for! Now, before you go cringe and think, ugh wallpaper… let me back up by saying this was a cinch to install. My daughter and I installed it together in one day. I love when I can include my kids in the design process. ( I have a wallpaper post, for tips on installing wallpaper).

Rug

Since her wallpaper is so bold I wanted to keep the rest of her accessories neutral to prevent any clash with each other. This rug from Surya is perfect for complimenting the mural, but the pattern also helps to hide stains. It is super soft on your feet. I also found this coordinating pouf from Surya. I love the texture it adds to the space.

Furniture

Since my daughter’s room has vaulted ceilings I wanted a canopy bed to help your eye go all the way to the ceiling. Well, at least to her beautiful chandelier from Progress Lighting. Originally my daughter and I refinished this nightstand together until we could find the perfect nightstand.

I finally found the perfect nightstand. I love the glass top and how wide it is. Shop it here.

On the other side of her bed I created a cute sitting area for her to read and do her homework. I love the soft pink the chair and foot stool add to her room. Shop here

Bedding

Her bedding is from the Company Store. I am super impressed with the quality. I got her a duvet cover that we can remove easily because white with kids means lots of washing. Her sheets are a blush pink sateen; they feel amazing. I found the throw pillow from Surya to add a touch of blush.

Curtains

I wanted to spice up this wall as it was seeming a little blank to me. To do that, I used these curtains from Amazon. I also got the rings and rod from Amazon. This is a great inexpensive way to spice up a bedroom!

Homework Station

I wanted to create an area where my daughter could do her homework as well as her art projects. These magnetic organizers were the perfect thing to keep this area organized. Just add a few decor items and it is done!

She loves her “black” room and I’m pretty content with how it turned out!
