Couple of weeks ago, Tanya Nayak,
who's an amazing designer,
Everybody's doing DIY.
She did a very simple and accessible do it yourself
make-over of her bed in her guest bedroom.
She teased that we were gonna see the whole room.
And so today we're working with the Home Depot
and of course, Tanya, to finish the reveal of the room
that is now more of a retreat.
Watch.
Hi guys, Tanya Nayak, here and welcome to my
guest bedroom at my home here in Boston.
Last time we were here,
I was showing you how to build a bed,
and now I'm gonna show you how to finish off the room
with furniture and accessories.
The biggest tip I can give you is that you need to start
with the biggest piece of furniture,
We already put in the bed, next up the dresser.
When it comes to your bedroom layout,
ease of movement is everything.
Nobody wants to be stubbing their toe
in the middle of the night.
So, here's a good rule of thumb.
When it comes to your bedroom furniture, like a dresser,
you need to have at least two to three feet
from the edge of the dresser, to the edge of the bed.
36 inches exact, perfect.
When you're accessorizing, think about it as
if you're decorating a cake.
You wanna start with the bigger items first,
and then you can fill it in with smaller items.
For a little balance, I'm adding some bookends over here.

And it's important not to over clutter the space.
It's good to have some breathing room.
I think this, it looks perfect.
All of the stuff in this bedroom is from homedepot.com,
they online stores, everything you need to feel
comfortable in your home.
The key to successful decorating is proportioning.
Consider the size of your room and find accessory pieces
that match in scale.
I chose a 24 inch anchor table and using it as a nightstand.
I figured the open lights would help make the space feel
more open, It's kind of a small room.
I also chose lighter, fresher, more subtle colors
to make the room feel calm, balanced and serene.
But if it's got a little bit edgy like I do,
go for a light fixture, an end lamp
in a math lab that is modern and edgy,
and that is bringing up a notch
to make it feel a little more sophisticated.
When it comes to making your bedroom feel
lux and luxurious, texture is your secret weapon.
Throw pillows, throw blankets, they're all great,
but when you bring in something like drapery,
it takes it to the next level.
I chose to fix drapery panels, this is a great tip.
If you're not actually using them for a function
and you're only using them for texture,
all you need are two short rods on either end
of the window you can pull it,
so it just covers the very edge.
and you've added one more layer of texture.
It is fall out here in Boston and it is getting cold.
I love to snuggle up with lots of extra blankets.
So I'm keeping this little basket,
because it has so much texture
and so much warmth right by the chair.
Be strategic when you're placing your mirrors.
I chose to do mine a little unconventionally.
I'm putting it on either side of the bed,
but I'm also making sure that it reflects the natural light.
I have this beautiful big window
and now it's making the space feel more open and bigger.
homedepot.com has lots of styles available,
including the biggest trends and they're super well priced.
Plus they have free and flexible delivery
and you can return things at the store or online,
which is great, especially at this time of year.
(upbeat music)
Done and am done.
I cannot believe how great my guest bedroom turned out.
I actually think I might have to turn
this into my master bedroom.
Thanks guys.
You know, Tanya that was the first thing
I was gonna to say to you.
Don't you wanna to live in your guest room now?
Like that should be your bedroom, like it's so cool.
Girl, I am telling you, I keep saying to my husband,
I'm like, "Guess what?
Either we're moving into the guest bedroom
or we're redoing the master bedroom next door."
One more thing to add to the list.
Well with the Home Depot and homedepot.com,
you can afford to do both, thankfully.
Honestly Tanya, I say this too often,
but you may have outdone yourself this time...
You are so sweet.
