Brynne from The Gathered Home pulled together an eclectic and inspiring master bedroom makeover with rich khaki and gold tones.
She used Clark+Kensington’s “Green Tea” on the walls—a perfect khaki olive that creates a calming but modern vibe.
The color ties in beautifully with her patterned rug, which features that same earthy olive-brown in the background.
To warm things up, she added mustard yellow accents that give just the right amount of pop.
What really stands out is how intentional every piece feels—Brynne clearly thought through how each item works together.
From the sculptural headboard to the sleek lighting and layered textiles, it all comes together so naturally.
She describes this room as a “loft-inspired” retreat, and you can see that laid-back, aesthetic come through.
Even her ceiling fan is cool—literally and stylistically—which isn’t something you hear every day in the decor world!
If you’re looking to update your bedroom and want something cozy but still edgy, this project is a goldmine of ideas.
Brynne includes all her sources, which makes recreating this look a lot more doable.
