Every college student deserves a space that truly feels like their own, and that’s exactly what we aimed to create with this room!
This space belongs to the roommate of the University of Arkansas student we featured in our Winter 2025 issue.
Even though the girls share a home, we wanted each room to reflect their unique personalities and individual styles. For this bedroom, we embraced an upbeat, mature palette with custom design details that make it feel distinctively hers.
The heart of the room is a custom-upholstered bed, which provides a cozy, elevated vibe while remaining practical. This bespoke piece helps set the tone for the entire space, offering comfort while maintaining a sophisticated feel.
Complementing the bed, we selected a burl wood chest of drawers and a matching desk, which not only offer ample storage but also enhance the room’s overall aesthetic. The desk area quickly creates a clean, stylish workspace that still feels inviting and warm. Above the desk, a mirror reflects natural light and ties in the gold elements throughout the room, making the space feel larger and brighter.
To elevate the design, we added custom drapery that frames the window, adding a designer touch and a sense of refined elegance. The soft fabric contrasts beautifully with the more structured pieces, creating balance and depth in the room. Pops of bold color throughout the space—especially in the accessories—reflect her vibrant, youthful energy and breathe life into the room. These elements not only make the space personal but also bring a fun, dynamic quality to the overall design.
Designing this room was such a rewarding experience. We loved seeing our client’s unique style come to life in the details, and it was a joy to watch the transformation unfold.
Now, both roommates have spaces that feel like home and are perfectly suited to this chapter of their college life. Each room is thoughtfully personalized, giving them both a place to unwind and truly be themselves.
