Purple Boutique Master Bedroom

For the first five years living in her 1,050-square-foot loft, Meghann Gibbons, an Atlanta-based publicist, came home from long days on the job to a drab master bedroom that looked more like a college rental than the home of a jet-setting PR pro. To create her dream bedroom, Meghann set a budget of $10,000 and a timeline of four weeks.

In its new state, Meghann's bedroom has the look and feel of a four-star boutique hotel. The jet-setting publicist had the knockdown-textured walls skim-coated and hired a paperhanger to give the walls a graphic, patterned update. "I love how hotel designer Kelly Wearstler designs rooms for The Viceroy hotel chain," Meghann says. "When redesigning my bedroom, I definitely wanted that overall look, but with my own spin and flavor."

Similar to boutique hotel design, nearly every element in Meghann's master bedroom is custom-made. Since she selected a unique color scheme of magenta, black, white, plum and hot pink, she had custom bedding made. She decided to use hospitality-grade and indoor/outdoor fabrics in solids and prints.

Four-star hotels such as The St. Regis often use mirrored elements in their design. Meghann incorporated mirrored elements into her space through nightstands. "I found out that hotel designers don't use mirror for high-traffic furniture pieces, such as nightstands or desks, simply because of how hard they are to keep clean due to fingerprints and smudges," Meghann notes. "But since my bedroom is just me, mirrored nightstands work just fine." To accessorize the room, Meghann stuck with trinkets picked up from her travels, including a hand-blown glass vase from Venice.
