My idea of a serene bedroom is free of clutter, has calming colors, and no major electronics as I desire it to be a place solely to relax and sleep after a long day. Here are some photos of the bedroom in our new one bedroom bungalow apartment. There are a few special touches that we would like to add like a unique bed cover, yet for now we couldn’t be happier. This room is much larger than our previous place, and we also recently got a platform bed versus our very minimalist bedding arrangement before. I used wall art for our “headboard.” It keeps the room extremely open and the birds give a sense of freedom which I love.
We have one large piece of artwork which is on the wall across from our bed. It is a canvas wall hanging which compliments our nature theme.
This corner table is the only piece of furniture in our place that serves as decor only. It is one of my favorite pieces.
I’d like to say that I have a green thumb, yet our two plants from our previous apartment didn’t survive. I’m hoping to do a much better job caring for these two plants and look forward to watching them grow.
This over-the-door hanger makes a great accessory organizer. I can always find my go-to scarf and chunky beaded necklaces. I couldn’t decide where to hang my dream catcher so this seemed like the perfect place for now.
Overall we have come a long way with decorating our simple home. I am so grateful that we have adequate closet space so my linens are no longer contained in a basket.
I will be sharing more of our home, like the details that have evolved in our living room, as well as any other fun decor. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend!

That dresser is amazing and the corner table is fabulous. I like how the dark pieces give a little contrast and add some grounding to your space. You’ve inspired me to go home and make my bed. LOL

Hi Lakaye,
I love dark wood! I was just at a friend’s place and she mixes different wood tones and it’s so beautiful. I’d love to incorporate more wood tones as well. Thanks for your comment!

I love how your apartment has hints of afrocentrism around it! It look lovely!

it looks amazing! where did you find the bed frame? I am looking something like that, simple and low.
Dawn Michelle says
Hi Katy,
Thanks so much! My husband ordered the bed frame online and I have no idea the name of the company. If I can get the info I’ll include it in the article. <3

Hi Dawn Michelle,
I wanted to comment on the birds above your bed. I’ve been looking for something like this for awhile but I haven’t found one that I really like. The one you have is beautiful and I was wondering if you remember where you purchased it. Thanks so much for all the wonderful wisdom and creativity you share here on your blog. ~Laura

Thanks Laura! I found the bird decor from Target last year. Have a beautiful day!

where did you purchase your platform bed? im looking for something quite similar.
Dawn Michelle says
Hi Monique,
My hubby ordered this bed online. I just asked him and he said he would see if he can find the information as you are not the only one who asked. If he does find it I will let you know.
Have a beautiful day!
Update: It’s a Charles P Rogers platform bed.
