    Before and After: Dated basement bedroom to cozy oasis!

    Published: Jul 23, 2022 · Modified: Dec 26, 2022 by Christina Dennis · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · Leave a Comment

    Have a cold-feeling basement bedroom in need of some love? Come see how I transformed a dated basement bedroom into a cozy oasis for my friend!

    My husband Sean and I had the pleasure of renovating my friend Danielle's entire basement. She's a local teacher with three young boys, and her and her family certainly deserved this makeover! You can see the main basement transformation here and the basement bathroom makeover right here.

    Today I want to share the transformation of the final room in Danielle's basement: the basement bedroom!

    Here's how the bedroom looked before:

    And here's the bedroom NOW:

    Special thanks to IKEA Edmonton, Benjamin Moore & Metrie for gifting products for this makeover. You'll find links to all products used in this transformation at the bottom of this post!

    Watch my YouTube video to see how I transformed this basement bedroom into a cozy oasis for Danielle's son:

    I love how cozy this bedroom feels now. The deep blue wall matches the deep blue accents in the rest of the basement, and the floor-length drapes and textiles make it feel warm. The desk area will be a handy spot for Danielle's son to do homework or play, and the storage and shelves on the opposite wall add even more function. I love how the bed has hidden storage underneath, too!

    We're still waiting on some pieces for the closet interior makeover, so stay tuned for a blog post on that!

    Products used in this modern rustic bathroom makeover:

    • Paint is a gift from Benjamin Moore; we used Aura:
      • Wall colour: Sea Pearl
      • Accent wall colour: Blue Note
      • Trim colour: Chantilly Lace
    • Doors and trim are a gift from Metrie and are from the Option {M} Farmhouse collection
    • Bed is a gift from IKEA Edmonton
    • Desk is a gift from IKEA Edmonton
    • Picture ledges are from IKEA
    • Black-out drapes are from IKEA
    • Bedding & faux leather throw pillows are from Amazon
    • Shelf brackets from Amazon
