Karis Samuelson Idowu and her husband, Jarvis, sought to revamp their bedroom after moving in together. The space had good lighting but felt overly masculine and mismatched with their new bathroom. Karis aimed to create a serene atmosphere using texture and color. She painted the walls with limewash for a soft look and tackled a custom headboard that complemented an asymmetrical rug, involving DIY efforts with online tutorials. Their projects showcased how simple changes can enhance a living space's aesthetic and comfort.
As for its application, that was super easy, Karis recalls. She recommends watching a tutorial online and then grabbing your brush and giving it a go. "You can't really go wrong," she says. "Any mistakes can be rectified by going over the area with a diluted solution or a different brush stroke."
Karis and Jarvis had already selected an asymmetrical rug for their bedroom, and they wanted a fun headboard to match. "Realizing that our old navy blue headboard was just not going to cut it, I watched YouTube videos on how to make your own headboard," Karis says.
