This primary bedroom needed a facelift.
The space was already updated and had a good foundation, but the mostly neutral palette left it feeling a little…bland. Instead of replacing everything, I wanted to add depth, color, and personality while still keeping it relaxed and appropriate for a beachfront vacation rental.
I landed on 🪴olive green as the accent color and brought it in through the throw pillows, a cozy throw blanket, and greenery throughout the room. It adds just enough contrast to make the room feel more intentional without competing with the Gulf view, keeping in line with the style of the painting (and keeping the art as the focal point when you walk in).
I’m still debating whether this room needs a rug — and I’m curious what you would do? Overall, I’m very happy with it, and it definitely sells better in photos!!
There’s still one design challenge you can see right through the window: that bright blue outdoor furniture. 😂 It’s a pretty strong color, and I don’t want the bedroom to feel disconnected from the beachy blue outside.
So tell me: What would you add, change, or do differently in this bedroom?
I’m always looking for that balance between beautiful design + practical vacation rental design — something guests will love, that photographs well, and that still makes sense for a beachfront condo.
