It’s been over a year since we moved into our new home, and somehow, my 15-year-old son's bedroom has remained unfinished.
I know—mom fail! But today, I’m making up for it in a BIG way.
We’re giving him the ultimate bedroom makeover—one that’s chic, sophisticated, and perfectly suited to his personality. The best part? It’s a total surprise! He won’t see the transformation until it’s completely finished.
The Design Plan
I wanted to create a space that felt elevated and mature—a room that my son would love now and as he grows. Here’s what we focused on:
✅ A soft, warm gray wall color with a sophisticated wallpaper accent wall
✅ A dresser makeover using SW Caviar for a sleek, custom look
✅ Pinch pleated drapes for a polished touch
✅ A smart bedding solution to keep his bed looking effortlessly neat
✅ Personalized decor elements to reflect his personality
The Makeover Begins!
From painting walls to revamping furniture, this makeover was all about elevating the space while keeping it practical and stylish.
🎨 Soft, Warm Gray Walls & Wallpaper Accent – Instead of bold colors, I opted for a soft, warm gray that provides a calming and neutral foundation. To add sophistication, we installed a statement wallpaper accent wall that instantly gave the room a high-end feel.
🛏 Smart Bedding for Effortless Style – We went with Beddy’s bedding, a perfect solution for anyone who wants a bed that always looks made without the hassle. Love Beddy’s bedding? Use the coupon code TOTHENINES for 15% off your purchase and shop here: Beddy's Bedding
🪑 A Dresser Makeover for a Custom Look – Rather than buying something new, we gave his existing dresser a dramatic refresh by painting it Sherwin Williams Caviar—a deep, moody black—and swapped out the hardware for a sleek, modern update. (One of my favorite tools for this project? The Repaint Tray, which made the painting process so much easier! Use code designedtothenines10 for 10% off!)
🖼 Personalized Decor Touches – To make the space truly his own, we added carefully curated decor that reflects his personality while keeping the design clean and sophisticated.
The Big Reveal!
After all the hard work, it was time to bring my son in for the grand reveal—and let’s just say, he loved it!
His reaction made every minute of effort worth it. Now, he has a space that feels personal, stylish, and functional—a room he can enjoy for years to come.
All the hard work was totally worth it in this moment...
