Mood Board: Neutral Mid-Century Modern Living Room

Neutral mid-century modern living room inspiration with pops of pattern and vintage touches!

Five days of rain calls for lots of lazy lounging, true crime watching, and mood board designing. 

As I was pulling products for this neutral mid-century modern mood board I quickly realized that I definitely have a style that I am always drawn to.  Hello, moody master bedroom! 

Cool moody colors, mixed metals, warm wood tones, and a combination of patterns and textures seem to make an appearance in all the spaces I design.  

What can I say?  I know my style and I pick furniture and decor that I love. 

Many of the furniture and decor pieces I included in the mood board are out of my typical thrift store/secondhand price range.  One of my favorite aspects of designing spaces and creating mood boards is being able to pick pieces that typically blow my budget.  

It's fun and kind of like shopping with someone else's money or loading your online shopping cart then closing the tab and not buying a thing.

The exciting part is then hunting for look-a-like products that are less expensive to get the same look for less.

Moody Master Bedroom Mood Board

A dark and moody master bedroom with the perfect mix of masculine and feminine details! 

Happy Monday!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend. 

I spent most of my weekend sanding and refinishing a set of antique theatre seats and a pine cabinet that I turned into a market counter.  It was a messy, yet productive couple of days.

In between sanding, I decided to do a little online shopping/browsing and stumbled upon a gorgeous black and gold dresser.  It was way out of my price range but sparked the inspiration for a moody master bedroom design.

Feather Flock Peel and Stick Wallpaper / Rug / Dresser / Wood Floor Mirror / Owl Art / Deer Sketch / Landscape Art / Gold Sconces / Jenny Lind Bed / Walnut Nightstands / Black Velvet Quilt / Wool Plaid Pillows / Green Lumbar Pillow / Waffled Black Stripe Throw / Fiddle Leaf / Ceramic Planter / Marble Frame / Gold Bowl 

I usually start a room design with an area rug or piece of art and have a general idea of the type of space I want to pull together.  This bedroom design came together much differently though and evolved one piece at a time. 

The gorgeous black dresser was my starting point then I added the feather flock wallpaper and ivory/tan hand-knotted area rug.  The wallpaper has a great mix of masculine and feminine details, while the neutral area rug is muted just enough to tone down the wallpaper while still adding texture and interest.

The majority of the details in this moody master bedroom are more masculine with hard lines.  Opting for a Jenny Lind bed, brass sphere shade scones, and a curved wall mirror break up the hard lines and add a touch of softness.

Neutral Modern Vintage Bathroom Mood Board

A neutral modern bathroom mood board with a mix of metals and a touch of vintage! 

For years, I've wanted to completely gut and remodel our master bathroom.  It was one of the first rooms we had renovated and after 16 years could definitely use an update.  

Unfortunately, a major bathroom renovation isn't at the top of the priority list.  That doesn't mean I can't dream, plan and design a room that is full of everything I love......modern, vintage, texture, contrast, warmth, and a mix of metals. 

I thoroughly enjoyed designing this modern vintage bathroom and sourcing the perfect pieces to create a beautiful space I love!

NEUTRAL MODERN VINTAGE BATHROOM SOURCES 

FLOOR TILE-  I'm a little obsessed with the black terracotta floor tile and love that it can be laid in a variety of different patterns.

SHOWER TILE- I love the look of classic subway tile but prefer something with a little more texture and character.  The 3x12 white ceramic tile from Floor and Decor has the character I crave while also staying classic and timeless. 

VANITY- Last week, I shared a beautiful creamy gray vanity on Facebook, which kind of jump started this entire bathroom mood board.  I searched online for a similar colored vanity and found this one from Wayfair. 

BLACK SINK FAUCET- Simple, sleek, and in my favorite finish.

BLACK ARCH MIRROR- This arched black mirror adds a touch of softness and helps break up all the hard lines. 

BRASS AND GOLD LIGHT FIXTURE- The perfect mix of brass and gold!

WOOD STOOL-  Every bathroom could benefit from a small wooden stool.  They're practical and also make great plant stands. 

BATH MAT- A black and white dot bath mat for a fun addition. 

BATH TOWELS- Turkish towels are a favorite of mine and these striped ones are soft, absorbent and perfectly stylish. 

BLACK HOOKS- Modern matte black hooks for hand or bath towels. 

TOILET PAPER HOLDER-  Modern matte black toilet paper bar to match the towel hooks. 

BLACK SHOWER FAUCET-  Who doesn't love a rain shower head?  

WOOD WALL PEGS-  For an extra touch of vintage, use an old wood accordion rack instead.

WOOD WALL LEDGE-  A warm wood wall ledge ideal for displaying art and small potted plants.  

ARTWORK- A framed black tree sketch and black and white swan add the perfect touch of vintage, while the gold frames help tie together the vanity hardware and light fixture. 

GOLD VANITY HARDWARE- I love mixing metals and these gold rectangular knobs are a great contrast to the rest of the matte black hardware. 

WALLS- White board and batten walls are an easy way to add texture and interest to a smaller space. 

CEILING- Did you think I would have a room in my home that doesn't include Iron Ore?  I've always wanted to paint a ceiling dark and a small bathroom is the perfect place.

Mood Board: Sophisticated Vintage-Modern Office Plans

Sophisticated vintage-modern office mood board, plans and decor sources!

Earlier this year, I finally agreed and allowed my daughter to move her new bedroom to the basement.  Her room is still a work in progress, but new paint, carpet and furniture have already made such a huge difference.  Hopefully, I'll be able to share her new space soon.

In the meantime, let's talk about my next big project, my home office!
