We’re revealing one of our recent design project for our clients mid-century modern black and white bedroom.

This bedroom design project was one of our favorite virtual design projects so far. We wanted to lean into the mid-century modern style of the rest of our clients home, while also keeping with the black and white color scheme our client loved.

When working with a black and white color scheme, a room can begin to feel flat. We definitely never want a room to feel flat, so we knew we had to play with texture, patterns and a bit of color around the room.

We absolutely love how the design turned out, and so did our client! We couldn’t be happier!

This post is all about a modern black and white bedroom.

Before:

These are the pictures our clients sent us of her space with the measurements of the room. This helps us get an accurate depiction of of the room and make sure we know the size of space we’re working with!

Before, the bedroom had a mixture of pieces that weren’t representative of our client’s style or the style of her home, so creating a design that reflected the style she loved was a priority.

Often times, and in this case as well, our clients come to us because they are indecisive about what to purchase for a space and make it look good when it comes together. We love helping each client address the needs in their space and reflect the design style they love most!

The Renderings of the Mid-Century Modern Black and White Bedroom

Our goal for this project was to create a space that was full of contrast in color, texture and pattern while still creating a cozy, inviting bedroom.

Once we received the measurements of our clients bedroom, we truly realized how large it was! She had such a great, spacious bedroom, but the space needed to be utilized better.

Bed Wall:

Our client requested to keep her current bed and bedding (which was beautiful), so we knew we had to update the space in other ways. We added a couple of geometric-patterned pillows, a round, boucle pillow at the top of the bed and a soft grey blanket at the end of the bed. This added dimension and texture to the bed space.

We recommended our client replace her current nightstands with modern, light oak nightstands. We kept her existing lamps on the nightstands, but updated the lamp shades to brighter, more angled shade.

Above the bed we added a black and white beach print to bring life to the space. To ground the space we added a large abstract rug below the bed to tie in the mid-century modern design of the rest of the home. At the foot of the bed we added a curved, upholstered bench where our client could put on shoes as she’s running out the door.

Seating Area:

One space our client wanted more than anything was a cozy seating area. With the large armoire removed from the room, it freed up the perfect space to add a the seating she wanted. We added two cozy, cream, boucle accent chairs to the space with a large abstract black and white print on the wall in between the chairs.

To ground this space, but also make it seamless into the rest of the design we added a small, round, black coffee table.

One request our client had for this space was to have a gorgeous light. She already had a can light above this space in the room, which made it easy to replace with a round woven pendant light. This pendant ties the space together and adds warmth and texture to blend with the contrasting pieces.

The Built-In Wall:

The wall with the built in cabinet and closet doors had the most dramatic transformation. We recommended our client paint the cabinet and closet doors the color “Soot” by Benjamin Moore. It’s a less-harsh black paint with grey undertones. The color will actually come across softer to the eye.

To update the cabinet and closet doors even more, we also recommended replacing the hardware with brass pulls and knobs.

In the corner by the closet door and French doors to the backyard, we added a tall faux tree to bring light and vibrancy to the room.

This project was seriously so fun, and we have no doubt that our client’s mid-century modern black and white bedroom will be her favorite place to unwind at the end of the day.
