This modern coastal bedroom makeover was so fun to put together! I’m thrilled to share all of the details with you. Read on for more!

A few months ago, we decided that we couldn’t take another minute of our old, lumpy mattress. We wanted to upgrade to a king size, which meant buying a new bed frame. That led to us selling our entire old bedroom set and living out of plastic bins for a little while. As you can tell, the whole thing snowballed pretty quickly and before we knew it, we had upgraded to the modern coastal bedroom of our dreams!
I had lots of modern coastal bedroom ideas but I narrowed them down pretty quickly and the room came together in a snap!
Modern Coastal Bedroom – Bed & Bedding
We purchased our bed frame, site unseen, during Macy’s semi-annual sale. Lucky for us, this piece of modern coastal furniture worked out perfectly! It’s super tall, nearly 6 feet, I think, but since we have a cathedral ceiling, it totally works in here. The color is grey but it can read sort of beige in our room as well, depending on the light. The headboard itself is really plush, it’s really well padded behind the fabric. The price on this was what sold me though – it’s VERY affordable for a king size upholstered frame, especially compared to similar beds from other retailers.

Modern Coastal Bedroom – Bench & Rug
I’ve had my eye on this bench for a really long time. It’s amazing! The bench is extra long which I love because smaller benches seemed tiny compared to the tall headboard. It’s very well constructed and assembly couldn’t have been easier. Just pop the legs on and you’re ready to leave your clothes all over it. Oh wait, is it just me who does that?!?

Modern Coastal Bedroom – Nightstands
The nightstands are from Joss & Main. I was blown away by the quality of them when I opened the box. They are really heavy (I struggled to get one upstairs by myself and then gave up and waited for my husband to get home for the second one). The top drawer is velvet lined and the very best part is that there are two USB ports on the back. No more wrestling a phone charger behind the dresser!

Modern Coastal Bedroom – Dressers
We love, love, love these dressers from Ikea! Our son has had this dresser for about 2 years now and I’m SO impressed by the amount of clothes that can fit into it. Our old drawers had a few broken drawer glides and they just weren’t very roomy for clothes. The 4 separate smaller drawers on top are especially great, in my opinion. I kept the decor pretty simple and definitely just shopped my home for everything you see here, except the large print. I’ve always wanted a beach aerial picture and found this one for a very reasonable price. I grabbed a frame from Amazon and just like that, we had some artwork up!

Modern Coastal Bedroom – Sitting Area
You might be asking what a brocade couch from 1995 is doing in our new bedroom and the answer is that it was free! Lol! We’ve had this couch since we were married (it was my parents prior to that) and frankly, when we moved into this house, it fit the space and the price was right. We’ve just never moved it since then. At this point, I don’t have to worry if my kids spill or get crumbs on it. I’m a firm believer that your house should work for you, no matter what anyone else thinks, and this completely works for us! Maybe at some point we’ll upgrade to something better but for now, it’s not even on the radar. This little faux fiddle leaf fig tree is the perfect pop of green over here and the basket accents the room perfectly!

I am in love with that headboard! It is so cute! My couch is that style and I’m looking to change my bedroom set to that! It’s bright and welcoming. Have a great weekend! Can’t wait to see more content.
