For this makeover, we chose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/primer\/kilz-premium\">KILZ 3<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Premium Primer<\/a>, which did an amazing job of covering the old, drab olive-green paint and creating the perfect foundation for the new fresh white paint. KILZ 3 Premium Primer offers excellent adhesion and durability, allowing the new paint to glide on smoothly and adding to the longevity of your paint job.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we added a coat of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/color#\/Tribute\">KILZ\u00ae Tribute<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Paint<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/color\/collectors-white-TB-31\">Collector&#8217;s White (TB-31)<\/a>. This is a creamy, barely-there white with subtle undertones of greige (gray\/beige) to take the brightness down a notch, making it ideal for reflecting the sunlight filtering in from the glass doors in this master bedroom.\u00a0Because of its cool undertones, we were able to use Collector\u2019s White throughout the entire bedroom, creating a soothing, gently glimmering sparkle without a hint of harshness.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/04\/Kilz-Blog-April-Inspo-Transforming-Boring-Bedroom-into-Relaxing-Oasis-Detail.jpg\" alt=\"Transforming a Boring Bedroom into a Relaxing Oasis\" width=\"1000\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Kilz-Blog-April-Inspo-Transforming-Boring-Bedroom-into-Relaxing-Oasis-Detail.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Kilz-Blog-April-Inspo-Transforming-Boring-Bedroom-into-Relaxing-Oasis-Detail-768x580.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our keynotes for this makeover were airy, simple, calm and relaxing, and we accomplished these with a streamlined Contemporary Swedish-Meets-Coastal California theme. For the focal point, we chose a modern four-poster bed in gray-toned brown natural wood. We added matching lacquered wood bedtables in a similar brown\/gray shade, styled in keeping with our Scandinavian\/Danish Modern theme.<\/p>\n<p>We kept the attractive, natural hardwood floor, but added a cozy off-white rug. Other furnishings and accessories \u2014 including an armchair, lamps and bedding \u2014 were chosen to reflect the creamy white of the walls.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8045\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/04\/Kilz-Blog-April-Inspo-Transforming-Boring-Bedroom-into-Relaxing-Oasis-Detail-2.jpg\" alt=\"Transforming a Boring Bedroom into a Relaxing Oasis\" width=\"1000\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Kilz-Blog-April-Inspo-Transforming-Boring-Bedroom-into-Relaxing-Oasis-Detail-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Kilz-Blog-April-Inspo-Transforming-Boring-Bedroom-into-Relaxing-Oasis-Detail-2-768x439.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One interior designer\u2019s tip: Pillows and other textiles are a great, affordable way to underscore your design scheme. We choose plump, oversized woven natural-fiber pillows in shades to tone in with the rest of the room, with handcrafted touches such as pom-poms and fringe. We finished the look with two attractive white ceramic lamps, styled in the Danish Modern tradition and topped with pale ecru linen shades.<\/p>\n<p>The overall look is one of natural textures \u2014 crisp linens and woven cottons \u2014 giving this master bedroom a clean, fresh, inviting look of soothing freshness.\u00a0When coupled with the bright sunlight filtering in from the glass doors, the impression is of a gleaming, glistening oasis for rest and relaxation \u2014 the kind of\u00a0ambience you would look for\u00a0in a luxury spa or hotel. And with quality primer and paint, the good news is that this pristine, fresh clean look can be easy to maintain as well.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8046\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/04\/Kilz-Blog-April-Inspo-Transforming-Boring-Bedroom-into-Relaxing-Oasis-Detail-3.jpg\" alt=\"Transforming a Boring Bedroom into a Relaxing Oasis\" width=\"1000\" height=\"704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Kilz-Blog-April-Inspo-Transforming-Boring-Bedroom-into-Relaxing-Oasis-Detail-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Kilz-Blog-April-Inspo-Transforming-Boring-Bedroom-into-Relaxing-Oasis-Detail-3-768x541.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anyone can achieve a room transformation like this at an affordable price.
