I can’t believe this Coastal Blues Master Bedroom Makeover is just about done! Thank you for all the help and input you gave me on choosing a wallpaper! The winning wallpaper was Painterly Indigo, a Sarah Richardson design. I love it and have all sources linked at the bottom of the post. This makeover was a risky labor of love because I was completely changing the look and feel of our master bedroom and had to convince the hubs that a room refresh was needed (after 20+ years with the same furniture). After 25 years of marriage he is finally learning and accepting the “yes dear” protocol!
Coastal Blues Master Bedroom Makeover
Let’s take a peek at what the room looked like before…. this shot is straight out of my phone with zero editing.
Ta-da! I wanted to re-create the feeling of a tropical resort bedroom. The room had to be relaxing, yet with a touch of chic sophistication, organic products, full of luxurious bedding, and always lots and lots of air purifying tropical plants. I think I pulled it off! My original plan was to have the tray ceiling planked with shiplap like we did around the living room fireplace, and painted white but that isn’t in the budget at the moment. I will be painting it white though soon.
Wallpapering this accent wall was a nightmare, I must confess. If you follow me on Instagram then you probably saw my stories bemoaning the process of wallpapering a VERY TEXTURED WALL! Let’s just say it was not fun and some things should be left to the professionals, but I made it work.
I fell in love with this medallion rug last year and had it in our foyer, but once the master bedroom was complete I realized that it coordinated beautifully with the wallpaper and should be in here instead! (Always shop your home first!)
We switched out the mahogany beside tables with these white ones. I love how the gold feet and ring hardware repeat the circular medallion pattern in the wall paper.
Comfortable, soft bedding is essential to a good night’s sleep and I have learned over the years to invest in quality sheets that improve with every wash. These navy blue banded sheets add just the right amount of color and feel amazing (I have them linked below with a special coupon code if you’re interested).
Nothing is as soft as fluffy Mr. Bun Bun but he completely approves!
I think besides the wallpaper, my favorite part of the room are the gorgeous ocean prints from Alison Junda!
The only wall we wallpapered is the wall behind the bed. Otherwise the room would have been very dark, so an accent wall was ideal and more affordable. It is also the first thing you see when you enter the room.
I still need to add some white linen curtain panels to the windows and tackle either refinishing or painting our cherry wood dresser. So I guess the room is half done… but half done is HUGE progress!

That is amazing! Took my breath away. I’m loving the blues!
Thank you so much!!!! We are loving it too! Have a beautiful weekend! ~KIM
Kim I stumbled across this page and was enjoying all the beautiful pictures (I am in LOVE with the coastal blue) and had been scrolling and loving everything for almost 10 minutes before I realized I knew who you were!!! I was Alan’s first office manager at old Smithfield Physical Therapy! Your home is absolutely stunning!! Tell Alan I said HEY!
OMG AMY!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey girlfriend!!! No introductions needed! I know and love you! How are you and all your sweet babies? I am tearing up! I really miss those days (Alan misses you too! trust me!). This (the blog) has been my full time career for 10 years. No one really knows the wive’s lives, but yes, this is my job! And I love it! Thank you so much for stopping by the blog. I hope you and your family is doing well. XOXO ~ KIM
I just Love your bedroom make over ! Absolutely stunning . It must be pure heaven to wake up in the morning to such beautiful surroundings . I think it’s really important to have a relaxing and peaceful bedroom . To wake up every morning surrounded by a really fresh and transformed room must be a great way to start your day !! Well done .
Thank you Brenda! You are so kind! I am beyond happy with how it’s turning out! The other two walls still need attention but there’s only so much money and energy… both of which I’ve run out of! HA! Thank you for stopping by the blog! I appreciate it. Have a beautiful weekend ~ KIM
The room is gorgeous and I would ABSOLUTELY leave the tray ceiling just as it is. I have seen many rooms using the deeper blue and this bluish green together. It gives a soft but beautiful contrast.
Thank you so much Linda! You are so sweet! I will leave the ceiling as is for now (I’ve ran out of energy after wallpapering!!! HA!). Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend! ~ KIM
What a beautiful room! I agree with Linda. Unless you are REALLY tired of the color of the tray ceiling, I would leave it as it is. It’s sooo pretty. Your decorating talent is immeasurable. Love it!
Thank you Judith! You are so kind! I won’t be tackling that ceiling for quite some time but I will take your advice and live with it for awhile. 😉 Have a great weekend and thanks again for stopping by! ~ KIM
Beautiful! I bet that cheery dresser would be beautiful painted Hale Navy!
Thank you so much Tammy! I think you are right! Hale Navy would be perfect! Guess I now know my next project! XOXO ~ KIM
I’d envisioned a British Colonial look for my home when I moved to Florida, so, I appreciate your original design. But, turned out, when I moved here I was inspired by the sunny sky and ocean to go for the casual coastal look of your new bedroom. People change! Your new room does look like a retreat. Nicely done.
Hi Kathy! Thank you so much! You are so correct! Our tastes do change over time. I was going back and forth on keeping the bed and embracing the British Colonial look, especially after vacationing in Jamaica. But this new, more casual vibe won out in the end. I still haven’t had the heart to sell the 4 poster bedroom set but I’m hoping my daughter will take it when she gets married this fall. Have a great week! ~KIM
I just love your ideas about coastal blue master bedroom makeover ideas. Thank you lot for sharing your master bedroom ideas. It’s really helpful.
Thank you Sarah! We are loving it so far!
I love this! We recently moved to the coastal south and our bedroom is very big and has a trey ceiling too. I had been thinking of painting the large wall behind my bed but could never settle on a color. I think your wallpaper just decided that wall for me and I can’t wait to explore the possibilities! Our headboard is a darker seagrass, but the tropical resort look is what I’ve always wanted too. I love the nightstands – great lines. And plants. Got to have plants. The room is so well put together and yet it still achieves a tranquil sophistication. Great job!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment Terri! I appreciate it!
VERY well done! The artwork is perfect for all the colors!
Thanks so much Karin!
I love the clean beachy look of the blue and white. These colors pairs so nicely with the medallian rug LoVe LoVe it. The addition of the greenery totally puts you in that tropical beachy mood. What a difference from the before and after photo’s.
Thank you Bev!!! I never liked my bedroom before and now I love it!
Absolutely gorgeous! Love it! What a difference. I liked the previous version, but this has real wow factor. Definitely looks like a tropical resort. I’m getting some ideas for my bedroom!
Thank you Tracy!!!
Wow I love these colours! Everything looks cozy and stylish, you did an amazing job!
Just a fantastic job, well done! You’ve sold me on navy and white, paired with the warm rattan headboard, it really cosies up the space while keeping that coastal vibe. It’s winter here in New Zealand and I’m thinking a little makeover inspired by your lovely room is definitely in order!
So enjoying your blog!
Sandra
Thank you so much Sandra! You are so kind! We are really loving the new updates too! Have a beautiful week!

Hi I just LOVE this, well done! I do have a question what size of medallion rug did you order is that a 5′? The perfect touch for the room!
Hi Kelly!
Yes, mine was the 5′ but I found that it actually came in more of a 4.5′. So keep that in mind. I wish they had a larger one!
I love it! I just redecorated our bedroom with a tropical look and went with green because I had more green items. But I’m loving the blue and how bright it makes your bedroom.
Absolutely beautiful and chic! What color did you paint the walls?
Loved this concept of coastal side designs, Such a unique concept, but very interesting. It gives a different look to a bedroom. I love the wallpaper in the bedroom. I just love the other interiors as well in this bedroom. I will bookmark this page for future reference and also recommend this post t others. Thank you for sharing and have a nice day.
Just one word–STUNNING!
Kim,
Your bedroom is beautiful!
Which blue-green is on your tray ceiling?
I was thinking of painting our bedroom/bath a color like that. Our bedding is bright white with a navy bed skirt and navy cover folded at the bottom. Do you think that blue-green walls would go well with that, or do you have other suggestions? I love blues, greens, and white. Our neighboring open concept room will be SW Pure White.
I just love your new bedroom. It is lovely! I especially love the seagrass headboard from Pier One and have been eyeing it for some time. Sadly, it is unavailable in my area code?!? I don’t think you need any curtains- the windows are perfect as they are. Great job and wonderful inspiration.
Oh, big change! I’m not even a blue person but this is lovely and so fresh.
Do you have guest rooms that you could share? We are building our first home and I am loving your styles!
Do you know where you happen to grab the seagrass baskets, I keep looking but either haven’t found the right size or the color is just off. Hard shopping online with corona and all. Thank You, Paige
Hi Paige! I usually buy all my seagrass baskets from 3 stores: Target, Homegoods, and AtHome. Those stores have the best prices. You can also check out Amazon. Hope that helps some! Have a great day ~ KIM
Hi! I’m sure I missed it, but what colour paint did you use on your walls? Love this room!
This room is gorgeous! I showed it to my hubby and we are using it as our inspiration. I searched this post and comments, but could not find it listed anywhere. Can you share the white paint color that you used?
Hi Robin! Thank you so much for the kind comment! The wall color is Reserved White by Sherwin Williams. It is the absolute palest of gray. I have it in my dining room too. Here is the link if you want to see it there. https://www.sandandsisal.com/2016/11/coastal-dining-room-makeover.html
Have a lovely week! ~ KIM
