Creating a sanctuary of rest for a seaside home

I shared a detailed note covering all the dos and don’ts with my designer Maria. I wanted a bedroom designed with some pops of white, a whole lot of texture, while being in sync with Modern Scandinavian aesthetics. I knew this wasn’t a straightforward brief to crack. I had tried in the past to find lighting options, furniture, wall décor, and indoor plants that would transform my bedroom while being an accurate description of everything I love. Where I failed, I was hoping Maria would succeed.

Maria drew up a floor plan of my bedroom and conceived a mood board with products that were high on functionality without sacrificing on beauty or compromising on aesthetics. I was expecting to see 2 design concepts from this mood board.

The 3D experience was new. I received a notification that my design concepts were ready on the App. If you like me haven’t had a brush with 3D tech, you’ll be genuinely amazed. To see the hidden possibilities of my room in full view was exciting. After choosing one concept that appealed a little more than the other, I began to review my design. The App is interactive, which means you can move the products you see in your design, swap it with different options if you’d like. I had tried designing the room and didn’t want to be overwhelmed again, so I didn’t try to DIY. I wanted to see some options, though, and promptly left feedback for Maria.

I told Maria which concept I liked out of the two. We discussed the design in detail. She had used products which I would have never picked up on my own and surprisingly I liked most of them. After sharing some pointed feedback, I requested for some alternative products, specific to the design I selected.

We went back and forth while Maria incorporated my suggestions, and we finally zeroed in on the best version of my bedroom in the budget I had in mind. I am still in the process of shopping for all the products that were featured in my design and can’t wait to see it in actuality once they have all arrived.
