Vintage interior design bedroom in 1940s - Before
Who says your bedroom can't have personality? Many people settle for conventional bedroom furniture sets and end up with lackluster rooms. But with a touch of creativity, you can transform your space into a glamorous sanctuary. Inspired by 1940s interior design, we present five stunning before and after bedroom makeovers that will leave you in awe.
Master Bedroom Remodel
In this makeover, we introduce the concept of the "color shell." The entire room is enveloped in a beautiful hunter green jaspe color scheme, starting from the floor, sweeping up the walls, and even across the ceiling. The canopied bed becomes the centerpiece, adorned with flowered cretonne that matches the wing chair, dressing table bench, lampshades, and bedding.

A Home within a Home: Remodeling a Spare Bedroom
For families facing the challenge of accommodating a lone parent or elderly relative, transforming a spare bedroom into a one-room apartment can be the perfect solution. By partitioning off one side of the room, we create space for a tiny kitchenette and bath. The flooring is adorned with Armstrong's Linoleum in a soft gray jaspe, complementing the hyacinth and turquoise walls. The entire room exudes charm and functionality.

Transforming a Spare Bedroom into an Apartment
Why settle for renting out rooms when you can create stunning one-room apartments? By utilizing a long-wearing Armstrong floor, we achieve both practicality and style. The rust-toned jaspe linoleum adds a touch of elegance to the flooring. To maximize space, a custom-made cabinet with a small sink and linoleum-covered work surface is installed. A bed frame doubles as a bookcase and storage bin, while a wallpaper trick and painted walls complete the look.

Renovating a Bedroom with a Bay Window Seat
Ever dream of having a cozy alcove to relax or read in? By extending the bay window and adding closets on either side, we create extra depth and a perfect nook. A semicircular couch with an upholstered mattress and plump pillows becomes the focal point. Fruitwood furniture, graceful curves, and parti-colored faille draperies enhance the room's charm. Armstrong's Tan Jaspe Linoleum Tile and Malay Brown Jaspe Linoleum give the flooring a parquet-like appearance.

Pink and Blue Bedroom Makeover
Don't despair if you have outdated bedroom furniture. With a dash of creativity, you can breathe new life into your space. By repurposing and repainting old pieces, you can achieve a stunning transformation. In this makeover, a big chiffonier is transformed into bedside chests, and the bed is turned around to create a Hollywood-style low headboard. The walls and furniture are painted in rich blue, while the ceiling is delicately pink. Decoupage flowers on the walls and chests add a touch of charm.

Creating a Glamorous Bedroom for a Teenage Girl
Every girl dreams of having her own glamorous room. Even in a small space, it's possible to achieve a stylish and functional design. By placing furniture on the diagonal, we open up the room and create a surprising amount of free floor and wall space. A cupboard-headboard and a gracefully shaped dressing table fit perfectly into the corners. Creamy linen with a black lace design, azure blue walls, and a sleek ebony black jaspe linoleum floor complete the enchanting look.
