See how modern and rustic styles combine in this dreamy master bedroom—a cozy, stylish space you’ll want to copy.
My bedroom has always been the most overlooked room in the house.
It's been the dumping ground for laundry, toys, kids, and any other little random thing the family doesn't know what to deal with.
That all changes today! I will share my new and improved Master Bedroom, which I designed with a rustic theme.
If you follow me on Facebook and Instagram, you have probably already seen a few sneak peeks.
I asked all my Facebook followers how to hide my off-center window and gave two options: curtains or a fake wall.
Of course, everyone wanted to see the fake wall ; ) So, a fake wall you got!
This is to remind you of what this space looked like before...
And here's the after.
I love the texture on that faux wood wall. It brings so much warmth to this room.
I won't lie—this is one hard space to photograph!
There just doesn't seem to be a good place to stand to get the whole room in there.
So bear with me as I try to piece it together for you!
My favorite spot to stand is in the hallway as you enter the bedroom.
You can see my favorite furnishings standing in this spot.
That rug! I love this rug! My kids fight over who lies down on it; it's so soft and fuzzy!
It's the Better Homes and Gardens Moroccan Cream Woven Area Rug
. Mine is a 5x7, but it is available in several other sizes.
It goes perfectly with my Better Homes and Gardens round mirrors!
This space has become one of my favorite places to sit in the house and drink coffee.
Maybe it's because it's the only spot that's actually clean right now. 😂
My nightstands are also a recent project, and I love the combination of dark gray with these lamps.
I have another Ikea hack for this room. I bought the Tarva Dresser and made a few little adjustments!
The hardware is the same as my nightstands (Hickory Hardware).
It's not a large dresser, but I was looking for something on the smaller side because I was determined to make room for a chair in my bedroom!
On top of the dresser are old books and little decorations that caught my eye as I wandered aimlessly around stores.
I always have to bring just a hint of a cottage feel to a room. It gives it that coziness I'm always searching for!
Don't skip out on small decor pieces and accessories. They really help bring a room together.
I'm not done with this room yet. Are you ever really done with a room? I'm constantly changing things around!

Ashley
Thanks so much! I would love to have an old farmhouse! But for now I'll just pretend the outside matches the inside ; ) xoxox

This is gorgeous! What a genius idea to create a fake wall. I have an off-centered room in my bedroom just like that. It's the best wall for the bed, but I'm thinking of making a huge wall of curtains behind our head board to disguise the fact that it's one little off-centered window. I love the decor you chose, it has such a clean and cozy feeling to it. And I will be picking up a set of those round mirrors...I have a wall that's calling their name.
Ashley
Thanks so much Emily! I was so close to doing the curtains too! That would have been way less time consuming ; ) Thanks for stopping by!

We are purchasing two Ikea Tarva dressers this week and we looooove the stain you used on yours. Are you able to share your brand and method of application? Thanks!
Ashley
Hi Jennifer, I will be doing a post all about it soon, but I just did one coat of Minwax Special Walnut and 2 coats of poly acrylic. Nothing fancy ; ) And then I did drill holes to fit the hardware! When you apply the stain, just make sure to wipe of any excess! Have a great night, and thanks for stopping by!
Jennifer
Can you be a bit more specific on the poly acrylic? I'm trying to get the exact same finish (at least based on your photograph).

Hi! Your bedroom is great! I love both your Ikea hacks and was wondering if you could give more details about your process. For the night stands did you just cut grooves into the existing front drawers? Also, for the Tarva dresser did you buy a wood stain or make your own? If you purchased it, can you tell me the color and if you sealed it somehow.
Ashley
Thank you so much Paige! I am working on the tutorial for the nightstands right now : ) It will be up sometime today. For the Tarva Dresser I used Minwax's "Special Walnut" and I sealed it with polyacrylic : ) Hope that helps!!

I love how simple and serene it is! What color is on your walls?
Ashley
Hi Sarah, I believe it's just Decorator's White from Behr : ) It very close to just a standard bright white.

Hi,
I purchased the tarva and the same stain as you mentioned (special walnut minwax) and didn't get the same effect. How long did you leave the stain on for? Do you have a tutorial posted for the tarva dressers?
Ashley
Hi! I don't recall exactly how long I let it sit, probably just a few minutes. Typically I will brush on one side, stain another, and then go back and wipe down the first side. That process has always worked pretty well for me. With the stain, make sure you stir it up pretty good (don't shake) cause a lot of the color will sit at the bottom. The issue could be the wood idea is using. No wood is super consistent, especially at those low prices, so you could be dealing with the stain absorbing differently than mine, but it should be similar. If you want to send me a picture so I can have a better idea of what yours looks like I might be able to offer some better advice :)! you can email me here: [email protected] Thanks!!

I love everything about this room. I just went out to get the tarva dresser and applied the wax. They are gorgeous! Just ordered a metal bed. The one you purchased is no longer available, so I purchased the Homelegance-Nottingham-Metal-Spindle-Bed on amazon. Tried to purchase the lamps, but they are not available for shipping nor pick up in my state (CA) 🙁 Looking for an alternative, but just love those lamps because they don't look too school-ish. Thanks for the inspiration!

I have been trying to figure out what to do with my off center window in the bedroom and you have done is genius and beautiful! My husbands first question was what does the window look like from the outside now?
Ashley
Hi Michelle, Off center windows are super annoying aren't then? lol! So we bought some blackout material from a fabric store and just tacked it up over the window so that the sun wouldn't shine through the gaps in the wood, and also so that it wouldn't look weird from the outside. So, it's just a solid color from the outside. I think you can buy that fabric in black and white, so you could choose whichever color you want. : ) Hope that helps some!
