Monochromatic Bedroom {Luxe for Less}

I am back for some more Candice Olson love. Last time, I sourced out some of the key pieces/elements from the first episode of her show Candice Tells All.

I’m moving onto episode 2: Restful Monochromatic Design.

It is fabulous, and I’m here to help you create this sort of room in your home on the cheap. Well, cheaper than if she were to do it, k? Let’s swoon over the room before we delve into the products- and boy are there a TON.

This room is anything but your typical boring beige. It’s got shades of white, gray, beige with touches of glamour/sparkle.

Let’s get started shall we?

The bed is quite obviously the center of attention in this room. There are lots of stores which offer a similar shape if you’d like to buy:

Prices are about $900 for a king headboard + $140 for tufting from Ethan Allen.

Another option is the Florence Headboard from Bassett. Starting at $549 for a queen.

Or you always make your own:
