This is actually a two-part blog post involving two different bedrooms, two teenage brothers, and two serious hockey fans—”B” and “T.”
We’ll start with “B’s” room first. A high school senior, “B” needed a room that reflected his fun personality, hobbies, interests, and likes. He liked the idea of using black in his room but also wanted pops of color throughout. He also needed a new gaming station area, seating, shoe storage and wall decor. Here is where we started:
“B” had a great space to work with—large and capable of so much, including reassigning furniture and adding in elements that would make his room more functional and reflective of him.
It started with the vision board. I immediately felt a fresh coat of paint would give this space an instant makeover. ..followed by some fun hockey pieces, new nightstands, lamps, bedding, and the likes. “B’s” mom was on board and the revamp got underway!
Ready for the reveal?
This is one of my favorite reveals to date because of the major changes that took place, those bold pops of color against a black backdrop, the the super fun elements we added in to make this room into the finished product it is today.
Remember the built-in desk unit? Gone! In its place is this sweet couch, side tables, industrial lighting with Edison bulbs, and great record collection on display.
Oh, and remember the shoe collection that needed a little bit of help? How ‘bout this?
These LACK units from IKEA are perfect!
Last but definitely not least was the gaming station that needed a little “umph.” Nate Koogle came in and constructed this awesome structure! Look at the pipe he sprayed black! Looks so good and is perfect for this little nook of “B’s” room.
Want to see the before and after pics one more time? I seriously love this room makeover.
