Bedroom decor: Moody and dramatic master suite
After eight years of focusing on the rest of her home, designer and homeowner Christine Dovey sets her sights on the master bedroom, reinventing the neglected eyesore into a moody retreat.
The master bedroom before
Christine's master bedroom, an uninspiring white rectangle with a tiny closet and ensuite, was a dumping ground for her family of six.
A dramatic result
"Dramatic and moody - but still cozy," says Christine of her modern black and white creation that balances girly artwork and accents with dark, masculine furniture. "It's always tit-for-tat in a bedroom," she says. "It's a piece you both have to feel good in."
The layout
At 14 by 17 feet with a small alcove for the door, the room is large but also long. A vintage settee at the foot of the bed shortens the distance between the two far walls. "Beforehand, it felt a bit like a bowling alley," says Christine.
