Designing a Bedroom Sanctuary: How JoySpace Austin Turned a Dreary Room into a Cozy Retreat
Bedrooms are personal sanctuaries that should evoke comfort and relaxation, but for one client, their bedroom was anything but. Faced with an awkward window layout, an overwhelming amount of dark wood, and a lack of color, this client turned to JoySpace Austin to help bring their vision of a cozy and inviting space to life.

Our client struggled with several design obstacles in their bedroom. The odd window layout made it difficult to achieve symmetry and balance, while the abundance of dark wood furniture contributed to a heavy, outdated feel.

The Plan
Adding Color and Softness:
Colorful Area Rug: A vibrant area rug was introduced to brighten and soften the space, providing an instant visual lift and creating a focal point that drew attention away from the dark wood.
Furniture Updates:
Larger Side Tables: We added larger side tables for increased functionality and style, enhancing both the practicality and aesthetic appeal of the room.
Window Treatments:
New Curtains and Rods: By installing new curtains and rods, we added pops of color and softened the space while complementing the existing window trim, balancing the room’s visual weight.
Art and Accessories:
Vintage Frames and Lighting: We painted vintage frames for artwork to add character and introduced new lamps for improved lighting, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Bedding Enhancements:
Complementary Pillows and Bedding: To tie the room together, we introduced pillows and bedding that complemented the new color scheme, adding layers of comfort and cohesion.
Implementation and Results
The client received a comprehensive mood board, serving as a visual guide to implement the design changes at their own pace. This approach empowered them to transform their bedroom incrementally, leading to a space that felt more like a serene retreat than just a room.
The Outcome
JoySpace Austin successfully turned the client's bedroom into a cozy, relaxing haven that made them smile every time they walked in. The thoughtful design solutions addressed the challenges effectively, transforming the bedroom into a space that truly reflected the client's personality and preferences.
