Bedroom makeover continues

October 19, 2025

Bonjour everyone,

Welcome back! Our latest video is out, and this time, we’re diving deeper into our bedroom makeover. It’s been our main focus these past few weeks, and we’re finally starting to see things come together. 🎥 Watch it here:

You might remember our vision for the room: since it’s quite square with very tall ceilings, we’ve been struggling to balance storage with a large bed and bedside tables. So, we came up with a plan: two built-in wardrobes on either side of the bed, joined by a top shelf and an integrated headboard. A bit of a challenge, but worth it!

We’re still refining the decoration, but if you’re curious about the overall vibe, here’s our moodboard.

Step one: building the wardrobe structure. Hugo took this one on (no surprise there!), and it turned into quite the project. Let us know if you’d be interested in him sharing his furniture plans – in case you fancy recreating them yourself.

Step two: painting! I couldn’t face another plain white room — it just lacked character and didn’t feel right for the house. I didn’t go too bold though; we chose Dimity by Farrow & Ball, a lovely warm neutral that already makes the room feel more inviting.

That’s it for this episode! It’s wild how many hours of work fit into a 15-minute video. We’re now onto finishing the wardrobes and starting the decorating, so stay tuned for the next instalment.

À bientôt,


Hugo & Romy
