A Zen Bedroom Makeover

The residents of this apartment couldn't agree on any aspect of their bedroom decor. He was happy with the styleless space because it fulfilled his need for a place to close out the world, but she felt as if she were sleeping in a blue dungeon. She wanted it to reflect the same modern Zen feel of the rest of their apartment.

The couple painted one wall orange to act as both a focal point and a headboard for the bed. Brown curtains flank the bed and provide a stunning backdrop for the new bedside tables and lamps. The rest of the walls are painted a stone-like beige. The result: a sense of serenity they can both appreciate.
