Thinking About a Breezy Neutral Bedroom Makeover? Find Ideas Here!

At this very moment, I’m tired from all the housework I did today, and I just sat down to take stock of our bedroom which is our latest DIY project. We initially thought we would simply paint and change out light fixtures. However, after discovering how cold it becomes in winter, we first need to make some structural changes to make it more functional. With those changes nearly done, I now must decide on paint colors and furniture. I still love our bedroom furniture and may keep it after revisiting this post! If you’re Thinking About a Breezy Neutral Bedroom Makeover, I hope this helps both of us.

Thinking About a Breezy Neutral Bedroom Makeover?

Obviously I will be referring to images of our former bedroom since the new one is still a big ol’ mess. You may recall the neutral color scheme was soothing light grey and bright white.

The floors were white oak hardwoods which brought some warmth along with oil rubbed bronze lamps and hardware, antique brass sconces, and natural rustic alder wood doors. It was such a relaxing, tranquil retreat, and we never tired of it in the seven years we enjoyed it.

Lots of pretty things to share…PIN THIS POST if you’re short on time to save it for future reference!

Bedroom Paint Color Ideas for a Neutral Palette

Our bedroom walls were Benjamin Moore “White” (BEHR Ultra Pure White is pretty much identical). The new bedroom is Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray, and I am considering painting the new bedroom white. I plan to paint the trim first and then decide on the walls.

I may leave the the walls the warm gray color though since I’m painting our doors and trim white, and it may need the contrast. I loved how the crisp white worked with the warm hardwoods and knotty alder wood doors (no stain, just poly on top) in the bedroom.

While neutral, there was plenty of texture and interest with the natural wood doors, painted wood accent wall (Stikwood Hamptons), and crisp cool white trim and walls.

Idea to Add Texture in a Neutral Bedroom

I highly recommend this product called Stikwood in Hamptons White which was an easy DIY that only took a couple of hours and made a huge difference.

It’s real, reclaimed, pine that has an adhesive backing so no nailing required.

The texture that planked Stikwood wall added went a long way, and now that I am living with the same bed in a different bedroom without the accent wall, I miss it! In fact, the color of our bed is almost exactly what our new bedroom color is!

Texture from the rustic alder doors also contributed to the warmth of our bedroom, and I especially love this look with white trim.

Consider Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter for a Netural Light Grey

The soft linen-y neutral light grey on the bedroom furniture is Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. I watered down the paint a little so the base color (antique white) could glow through it. An old dresser in my walk-in closet was also painted Revere Pewter:

Sheets to Last

Now that colder weather has arrived, I am a huge fan of these luxuriously thick and soft Egyptian Cotton sheets from Vera Wang.

The thread count is 800; however, what matters to me is hand feel and how they have performed over time.

Vintage Stripe Sheets

I have also come to appreciate what Joanna Gaines designs and offers in her cost-friendly Hearth and Hand line for Target.

These vintage stripe sheets are gorgeous in person. I have also raved about the brand’s linen blend hemstitch sheets.

I love them for warmth in winter. However, the warmth is a bit too much for my husband’s comfort.
