Welcome to my modern and neutral bedroom! I am officially done with this bedroom revamp until baby girl arrives. I’m six weeks away from my due date, and I don’t have much energy left for anymore room makeovers.
However, I’m really happy with how many room makeovers I’ve completed during this pregnancy. I finished my daughter’s blush bedroom makeover and the sophisticated baby girl nursery.
Our room is the last large room makeover to be completed, and I’m *mostly* done. One piece that’s missing is an armoire between the windows. I’m still on the hunt for the perfect armoire to go between the windows, and that may take a bit of time to find.
I also want to swap out the fan with a more modern black fan. Until then, I’m really happy with the progress of this room.
I started this room makeover based on this modern French country bedroom ideas mood board that I designed. I pretty much stuck to this design, making just a few small design changes that were more affordable, and I’m so happy with how it turned out!

MODERN & NEUTRAL BEDROOM DESIGN IDEAS
A COZY, TEXTURED RUG
One of the big changes in this room was the addition of this ivory Sutton solid chevron area rug. I also considered this beautiful off-white Veronica wool braided area rug. I think either option would’ve looked great.
The main reason I wanted to swap out my area rug is because I wanted one that was larger and one with more texture. I had an 8×10 area rug under my king size bed originally but I felt like it was too small. Upgrading to a 9×12 area rug made the space feel better designed.
I love our new chevron area rug. The only drawback is that it does shed quite a bit. I’ve had to sweep/vacuum our floors quite often since I got it. I’m hoping that over time it won’t shed quite as much!
STATEMENT LAMPS
On both nightstands, I added these beautiful, heavy statement lamps. These are expensive lamps but because they are so large you don’t really need any other items on your nightstands. I added a small candle and a faux flower to my nightstand, but other decor is definitely not necessary!
Below, you can see my husband’s side of the bed where there’s no other decor on the nightstand. It doesn’t look like it’s lacking decor by any means!
LONG, VELVET CURTAINS
I added these 96” velvet curtains in the color ivory to my windows and I love how much coziness they add to the space. These curtains were gifted to me by KGorge Curtains, and I’m thrilled with the quality of them. They are also incredibly affordable!
I used three panels on the right side and one panel on the left side. I purposefully did that so that one day I can add an armoire between the windows!
I also used two curtain panels on the window beside my vanity and they add so much cozy texture.
I paired all the curtains with my favorite affordable curtain rods. They are so good because of the high-end looking brackets.
UPDATED VANITY AREA
My vanity area is one of my favorite projects in my bedroom because it has eliminated all my makeup clutter. I first swapped out my old vanity, which was just a glass desk with no drawers, for this beautiful black vanity set.

I ended up using the vanity desk and stool, but opted to keep my white vintage mirror instead of the new one the set came with. I love how this little space looks now, and it’s functional because it holds all my makeup in the drawers.
DIY ARTWORK
I added DIY artwork in my bedroom to two spaces: on my dresser and above my bed. For both pieces, I used old pictures that already had frames. That way I didn’t have to spend any money on the frame!
For the large artwork on my dresser, I created texture using joint compound and a paint brush. Once it dried, I painted it an off-white color using paint I already owned. I then painted the frame black.
For the DIY artwork above my bed, I used an old Christmas painting that I didn’t want anymore and painted over it! I painted the frame black and then painted an ombre’ effect using white and beige paints that I had on hand.
Both artwork pieces ended up being completely free!
Here are some of the art options I considered and ones I got inspiration from when painting my paintings:
COZY, NEUTRAL BEDDING
Almost every piece of bedding on my bed is from Target!
I have these white sheets, this chunky knit bed blanket in natural, this linen blend comforter in white, two oversized striped pillows in tan/cream, and this faux leather lumbar pillow in cognac. The throw blanket on the corner of the bed is from Home Goods, but this throw blanket is very similar!
NEUTRAL BEDROOM FURNITURE
One of my goals in this space was to keep my neutral bedroom furniture. My entire set is from Ashley Homestore, but unfortunately, it’s not longer sold.
I’ve rounded up a list of similar beds and bedroom furniture:
I hope you got some modern & neutral bedroom design ideas that you can apply to your own home!
