There’s something alluring about midtown style, and you’ll be happy to know you don’t have to be bound by the location to achieve it. This effortless look is truly a state of mind, mixing and matching upscale elements with urban pieces. The idea of melding two different styles may seem like a challenge, but we’re here to make it a piece of cake.
We’ve simplified midtown styling by curating a look that centers around rustic-industrial pieces, refined by classy, sophisticated elements. As we go through a bedroom step by step, you’ll see how minor details can make all the difference.
Make the Most of a Small Space
If you happen to live midtown, you’re probably living in a smaller space. But, keep in mind, it’s less about the size of a space and more about how you accentuate what you have. In a smaller bedroom, consider pieces that pull double duty, like beds with built-in storage.
As for other storage options, we love styling with the Sommerford collection. The bed, nightstand, dresser and chest of drawers all offer plentiful space with a streamlined design.
Stick With Neutrals
Neutrals help keep a space light, open and airy. It’s the ideal color palette for refined versatility, and our styled picks quell all notions of it ever being “boring”. Neutrals also give you the opportunity to play with textures and patterns. For example, beautiful pieces like the Dilanne vase add interesting dimension without being overwhelming.
If you want to go bolder, try gold or silver metallic accent pieces for a well-placed pop that doesn’t stray too far from classic neutrals.
Hang it Up
If you’re not a fan of accent pieces that take up precious surface space, wall decor is your go-to styling choice. The Donnan wall decor panels placed over a bed creates a modernized regal vibe. For a more contemporary feel, the Drayen wall decor captivates with an intricate, lavish pattern.
Inject Industrial Style
You’ll find the perfect balance of rustic charm and cool, industrial details with the Sommerford Collection. If you want to take the edgy vibe a step further, look to the Talar floor lamp Talar floor lamp or table lamp to illuminate your space with urban inspired style.
Add Cozy Elements
When it comes down to it, a bedroom should be a relaxing retreat, so don’t hold back on the comfort. Allow your tired feet to indulge in something soft and plush in the mornings with a stylish area rug. To expand on the homey feel, place a plush pouf or two in the room to soften up the look, all while serving as a casual footrest or tabletop.
Finish it With a Natural Touch
A fresh element from the great outdoors is always welcome. Real plants are lovely, but the upkeep can be difficult if you have a fast-paced lifestyle. Our solution? Faux plants. There’s lots of highly realistic options to choose from.
