Bedroom Eyes

By
Home Stager with Moving Mountains Design Home Staging, Pasadena, CA

One of my favorite rooms to stage is the bedroom. I think it does a lot to make a home feel more comfortable and inviting if the bed in the master bedroom makes feel like you are in a luxury hotel.

 I always use high thread count sheets (since I stage mostly vacants, they never get used) and always, always, always use sateen (not to be confused with satin sheets which I would never use). The slight sheen gives a really rich look.

I also like to use a lot of throw pillows (usually silk) to add an accent color.

I have started using a lot of quilts vs. duvets. They are easier to keep wrinkle free and look very elegant.

Believe it or not, everything on this bed came from Target. It is a very silky sateen from Fieldcrest. I love the richness of the red. It really makes a statement.

As you can see, I am a big believer in using two side tables next to the bed. It is a throw back to my feng shui training at the Western School of Feng Shui. I think every master bedroom should feel as if it is inviting 2 people to share it. By using two side tables, it looks like the room will be a luxurious retreat for two.

Hi Michelle-

I love staging bedrooms also & you are right about the sateen finish looking nice and resisting wrinkles.  I find myself always shopping bed linens whenever on a shopping trip!

Kathy: We actually have a section of our warehouse we call Bed Bath & Beyond. I am always looking for a good deal on good quality, interesting bedding. Thanks for commenting.

Maureen: Thank you so much. Your endorsement means a lot.

Abby: I am a little OCD about beds. Fortunately my assistants "get it" and I can turn them loose in a bedroom and it will turn out just so. Thank you.

WOW!  These are all incredible.  I especially like the third bedroom.  Where did you get the artwork over the bed and the pillows?

Hi Jo: The artwork over the bed is actually a small chain-stich area rug. The pillows are a combination of applique and embroidery. They were all purchased at Anthropologie. The print came from Home Goods, I think. Thanks for stopping by.

Michelle I'm loving your excellent suggestion about using a quilt.  I get tired of ironing the wrinkles out of our bedding sets.  Betty  PS  All the rooms look beautiful, warm and inviting.

Michelle- I am so glad I decided to log on before heading over to the warehouse. I am staging a master bedroom on Monday, and your pics have inspired me to try the "hotel" look! Maybe, I'll post pics when I am done, and I'll credit you with my inspiration!!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful bedrooms!

PS it's a very small room I'm doing, but I will TRY to get two nightstands in!!!

Good luck today Elaine. I have used two matching floor lamps on either side of a bed in a small bedroom before (no bedside tables, but there was a deep window ledge above the bed). Also I purchased two very small bedside tables from Target once for a tiny bedroom. I used a full bed, and it worked out great.

Ms Minch! You are one fabulous design professional. Your work deserves to be spotlighted. These bedrooms are just further proof of your excellent talent. Thanks for showing us. Oh, BTW, I learned that when the folks in charge of training bank tellers to recognize counterfeit bills do the training they have a simple and effective method. They have the tellers feel THE REAL THING over and over and over. If someone would like to get a good class on staging they should look at your photos over and over and over. Nuff said.
