Bedroom Refresh for Teen Girl

Our daughter will be 16 this year and we haven’t updated her room since 4th grade! We thought it would be a good time to give her room a simple refresh with a new coat of paint and bedding. Being we live in a small, 1950s cape cod, her room use to actually be the attic that we converted to a bedroom right before she was born. Technically, it does not have any closets and every wall is slanted which really limits us on bed placement and the amount of furniture that fits in her space. For storage, we recently made her a walk in closet down the hall (using knee wall space in our hallway) which you can read about here.

This is a before shot the room was lavender and she had a full size bed and small dresser

Another before shot (we patched up nail holes) and upgraded her bed to a queen and got new white bedding

Her main request was to have cream walls and white bedding so we decided on Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee. It’s the perfect light creamy walls that has a slight yellow warmth to it. In a small room like this we decided to paint the ceiling the same color as the walls to make the room appear larger.

After shot of new paint color – we removed her lavender rug and kept her nightstands and lighting.

This little door is just an access door to the bathroom plumbing on the other side of the wall.

We haven’t purchased any rug or new pillows yet, but I pulled together this moodboard to give an idea of rug and pillow options that work well with this BM Swiss Coffee paint color.
