This post is in partnership withΒ Revival Rugs who very kindly compensated this restored vintage rug for our master bedroom. As always, all opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the companies that supportΒ The Espresso Edition.
The right rug can be hard to find, but I always believe it should be the first item in a new space. It sets the mood for the decor!
I honestly thought I knew what I wanted our master bedroom to look and feel like – until I saw this rug on theΒ Revival Rugs website! Brandon and I spent probably an hour looking through rug after rug until we decided on the teal and turquoise restored vintage rug, titled the “Jerick.” I’d love to link it for you to purchase for yourself, however, since these are vintage rugs, there is only one of each! Honestly, I think that’s pretty cool, because it means you’re getting a rug that no one else owns, so it’s unique to you and your space.
After deciding on this beautiful rug, we (*ahem*) I got to work, looking for the pieces to make our space exactly the way we like – modern bohemian. This was the exact vibe we worked towards in our living room, and we love how that turned out. It didn’t come as too much of a surprise that our eyes were drawn to the teal/blue colors again and that we wanted to bring a similar atmosphere to our bedroom. You know what they say, these tones are the most relaxing and inviting! It’s no wonder we want them flowing throughout our home.

Now that we have the right rug, we can move forward with the decoration process.
I’ve put together an entire moodboard, focusing on the items we have on our master bedroom wishlist, and bringing in all the right colors and textures for this space. We don’t have a huge room, but the “Jerick” from Revival RugsΒ sure made it feel more spacious with all its stunning vibrancy. It’s the first thing that catches your eye when you walk up our stairs towards the room, and I love that about it.
We already had a couple of furniture pieces picked out, and we probably won’t change too much about the bed, aside from adding colored pillows and maybe a throw blanket. The real additions will be artwork (hoping to hang wedding photos above the bed and our wood wedding signs above the television), curtains, and goodness knows I’d love an armchair in the corner to snuggle up in when I want to read!

Right? I’m all for good color in a room. I can’t handle just all white spaces – even though minimal style is GORGEOUS. I just gotta have the fun tones!

Stephanie Whitman says
It can be challenging to find the perfect thing to add to a space. But I HIGHLY recommend Revival Rugs. Their vintage restored rug guarantees that no one else will have the exact same rug as you – which is super cool, in my opinion!
Donna says
Such a happy color. Looks like crystal seas! π Your ideas are the best!
Stephanie Whitman says
It is like an ocean, isn’t it? Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to this color. It gives that beachy feel I so desire hehe.
Hillary Conheady says
I love that pretty teal color! Your room is so cute!
Stephanie Whitman says
It’s such a blank canvas right now, but the rug added SO much to it! I can’t wait to begin really decorating!
Tanvi Rastogi says
Absolutely LOVE that rug. We have a similar color scheme in our living room.

Aren’t they awesome? Some of them we’ve actually had on our wishlist for a while – these colors or not! Like the baskets. We love good baskets!
Rachel says

GIRL. Revival Rugs is the place to shop, for sure! I mean, having a restored vintage rug guarantees that no one else will have the same rug as you. How cool and unique is that? Totally worth the extra spending π

Same here! Our living room was where we got this interest in the teal/turquoise colors. However, I was totally going in a maroon/gray/blush direction for our bedroom – until we found this rug haha! I love it!

roxy says
Cute! I think teal is a great color for the bedroom. I love wood floors but I love having a rug under the bed for chilly mornings and bare feet! Plus it’s nice to have something soft there.
Stephanie Whitman says
Oh goodness I LOVE good wood floors. If I had the option, I’d definitely have more of them in our home. However, we’re in a townhouse right now so there’s not much we can do as far as the sand-toned carpet goes. So that’s why we opt for vibrant rugs to bring life to the space!

I’ve never in my life been drawn to this color, and now it’s spread all throughout our house! I just love it. It’s such a calming, inviting color!
greta says
I love rugs in a room. I just put one in my kitchen and it’s nice having somewhere to put my feet when it’s cold and my dogs love laying on it while I cook!
Stephanie Whitman says
YES! We looked into doing one in our kitchen, but since we’re in a townhome, our kitchen is super small. Maybe in the future! π
Kileen says
This is such a beautiful rug babe!! I am absolutely loving the color and pattern, so fun!

Thank you so much! I sure do love it as well. It adds the perfect pop of color to our space. I can’t wait to decorate the rest of the room now!
Indya | The Small Adventurer says
I am DYING to get my hand on some gorgeous rugs! As we’re currently renting, we’re stuck with a very ugly looking carpet, and I know a good rug would help hide that fact. I love the pop of colour your bright blue rug adds to the room, that’s exactly what I need in my house! π
Stephanie Whitman says
Same here! We’re in a townhome, so our entire house is washed in beige carpeting and sandy-colored walls. I knew I HAD to have more color, so rugs were the way to go. Our living room also has a super vibrant rug – and man, they’re just serious mood-boosters!
Carolyn says
The right rug for my space is big and neutral. Love how this rug adds the perfect pop to your room. Love how it’s unique too! Based on your mood board, your space is really coming together! So exciting! Being able to make a place home is so fun.
Stephanie Whitman says
I can see how you’d love a more neutral rug. Our whole home is so washed in tan/beige colors that I HAD to have more color or I think I may have just collapsed with boredom in my space haha. These cheery colors just make me so much happier!
Taylor Mobley says
PLEASE come decorate my house. I feel like we LIVE in all grey, taupe and neutral Colors. I could use your fun eye!
Stephanie Whitman says
Hehe, gladly! I’d love to decorate spaces more often. If I had the budget for it, our home would be cRaZy decorated by now! But it’s looking like it’ll be right before our lease runs out that I finally get to decorating all the primary places in the house haha.
Deborah says
Yes to all of this! I’ve been thinking about getting a rug for my space but I’m not sure I like the idea of it covering my hardwood floor, plus like you said, it really sets the mood for the rest of the decor and I’m not ready for that mood to change if that makes sense?
Stephanie Whitman says
That 100% makes sense! You don’t always have to do a giant rug! Revival Rugs offer different sizes, and we even looked into getting a small one for our kitchen π You certainly don’t have to cover anything – just add a pop of color or design under a chair or by a table or something. Who knows – maybe you’ll love it!
Cynthia says
I had never even thought about rugs in the master bedroom, not have I ever put this much thought into it. You have just ignited a desire to do so!
Stephanie Whitman says
I hadn’t really considered it before, either – until I started looking up modern bohemian spaces on Pinterest. Hehe Pinterest gets me every time!
Jami Ray says
I love your rug! I’ve been going pretty light and bright for our bedroom decor but I think I’m ready for a relaxing pop of color. This rug might be perfect!

I totally understand that. Sometimes being neutral is best. For me, I just thrive in color! But whichever you chose – color or neutral – Revival Rugs offers something fabulous!

A rug can really make all the difference. I love the blue colour of the one you chose, so much fun!

I’ve only very recently gotten into rugs and are obsessed with them right now! You’re so right that it’s the first thing that should go into a space, haha. I love the bright blue one you have!
Stephanie Whitman says
I used to not understand the obsession, but I get it now 100%! Rugs can make all the difference, so that’s why I like to choose them before any of the other decor!

Love this cute rug and the pop of turquoise to bring some life to white/neutral tones in your space.

Precisely. I definitely plan to add more color to the room – this is the first piece we’ve really gotten, decor-wise. However, it’s a fabulous start!

Haha I certainly do right now. I didn’t own anything else prior to getting married – and decorating is SLOW MOVING on a tight newlywed budget. I’m just excited to begin adding more to the space as we go.
Denise Kokinis says
I feel like finding a good rug is so tough to do! I have looked for months before I found one that I liked for one of my rooms! I am just loving the vibrant color of this, especially paired against the more neutral colors in the room!
