1 Bedroom 4 Ways with The Citizenry

When it comes to online design sources the options can be pretty overwhelming. There is A LOT of good stuff out there, and at times some of the smaller companies often get unrecognized or overlooked. A few years ago when we had just moved into our new studio (that we are now quickly outgrowing – again) one of said small companies, by the name of The Citizenry reached out to us to introduce us to some of their new products.

The Citizenry although small at the time had a business plan that we could stand behind and beautiful goods that were all too easy to fall in love with. As a socially conscious company, they work with local artisans and communities around the world to handcraft capsule collections featuring a variety of products from a specific region.

With fair trade practices, sustainable products and giving back 10% of proceeds  to the community in which  designs were  created, they have quickly become one of our favorite companies. So, when they reached out a few months back about collaborating to showcase some of their products we of course said yes and got to work.

My house is on embargo til the big shoot in a few weeks so I hired my friend and photographer Tessa to style and shoot it in her bedroom, which she had just moved into giving us a very blank slate to start with. We helped with the styling (not because she really needed the help but because doing both can be overwhelming and not as fun – so Brady helped out during the shoot) and I think it looks pretty darn great. Here is what it looked like before:

Simple, bright and white, but filled with great natural light and ready for a makeover. Because 1 room just wasn’t enough for us, and because we love a good challenge, we decided to use their products to showcase how easily you can change the look of 1 bed into 4 completely different setups. So without further ado, get your flowing caftan, your leather sandals, and your sunscreen ready as this beachy escape will have you craving some Vitamin D and some major R&R.

To start this one out, we used their Helado throw on the back of the headboard to add some texture, pattern, and an interesting visual backdrop to the room. Keeping the linens tonal allowed us to really play with different textures and tones within that neutral color palette. And this is a good lesson and example of how playing with texture rather than color can create visual interest.

Emily-Henderson_The-Citizenry_1-Bed-4-Ways_Textiles_Global_Eclectic_Boho_Western_Modern_Bedroom_Bed_Minimal_31

The light gray pillows pull their color from the blanket and also tie in the gray stripe in the Verano throw pillow in front of them, and the cream Estrato pillow adds some texture and depth to the combo as the others are flat-woven and smooth.

Emily-Henderson_The-Citizenry_1-Bed-4-Ways_Textiles_Global_Eclectic_Boho_Western_Modern_Bedroom_Bed_Minimal_41

Over on the nightstand we’ve again played with the tonal color palette keeping things neutral but interesting by adding a darker lamp to pull in the dark stripe from the throw on the back of the headboard, and a slight pop of color with the blush pink flowers and the soft green in the book. Speaking of the nightstand, Tessa has just started an online shop where she will be selling a few original furniture pieces as well as a handful of her vintage finds. So if you are wanting one of these beautiful nightstands be sure to click through for more info on it. I think it’s pretty much perfect and know a million of my clients that would buy them.

Emily-Henderson_The-Citizenry_1-Bed-4-Ways_Textiles_Global_Eclectic_Boho_Western_Modern_Bedroom_Bed_Minimal_5

Last but not least, we pulled the gray from the headboard down to the foot of the bed with their Diamanta throw. This throw is good, folks. It lays so easily when you are going for that “not so fussy but still styled look” and the detail and slight pattern in it make it such a good piece for any room. I stole this one after the shoot for my living room and can’t wait to use it.

Next up we are getting a little more moody and a bit more rustic with what we are calling our “Woodsy and Organic” Bedroom. It’s a little bit Pacific Northwest and a little bit modern granny but we are very into it. For this one we took cues from the greens in the olive duvet and the black in the nightstand, rug and pillows which gave us our nature inspired color palette.

Emily-Henderson_The-Citizenry_1-Bed-4-Ways_Textiles_Global_Eclectic_Boho_Western_Modern_Bedroom_Bed_Minimal_9

If you are not into fussy beds then this one is for you as you can get the “pulled together bed” look with just one pillow and a blanket tossed at the foot of the bed. Their oversized Madera pillow from The Mexico Collection makes styling your bed in the morning easier than pushing ‘brew’ on the coffee machine and means that it is one less thing to worry about before running out the door, which for this person seems like a good thing as they would much rather spend their day reading books than styling their bed.

Emily-Henderson_The-Citizenry_1-Bed-4-Ways_Textiles_Global_Eclectic_Boho_Western_Modern_Bedroom_Bed_Minimal_10

Keeping things simple on the bed with just the large lumbar pillow and Abrazo blanket meant that we could really go big on the walls, and just when you thought we were over gallery walls we did it again with this tonal version. Combining prints, sketches, and photographs all in the same color palette allows it all to cohesively work together without feeling too overwhelming and keeping the frames to just a few styles (gold, white and black in our case) allows the wall to feel collected but not thrifted.

Emily-Henderson_The-Citizenry_1-Bed-4-Ways_Textiles_Global_Eclectic_Boho_Western_Modern_Bedroom_Bed_Minimal_12

Over on the nightstand we kept it simple with a few books, a modern lamp to keep it from feeling too vintage and to give them some light for their late night reading, and a simple vase to throw your clipped tree limb of course.

Next up we’ve got our boho-rocker-chic bedroom. The chick that lives here doesn’t ever take herself too seriously, oozes style, and knows how to keep things casual albiet stylish in her decorating sense.

Emily-Henderson_The-Citizenry_1-Bed-4-Ways_Textiles_Global_Eclectic_Boho_Western_Modern_Bedroom_Bed_Minimal_17

The inspiration for this one came from their Aurora pillow which has blues, reds, oranges, and blacks that we played with in the rest of the setup. Because this girl doesn’t seem to be too fussy we kept all the pillows within the same tonal palette so that they can all easily be thrown onto the bed in the morning as she runs out the door to her probably very artsy job downtown. We brought the same colors above the bed with this print from Tessa’s online shop, and above the nightstand is where she houses her vintage collection of bird art. (Because what cool urban girl doesn’t have a collection of bird sketches).

Emily-Henderson_The-Citizenry_1-Bed-4-Ways_Textiles_Global_Eclectic_Boho_Western_Modern_Bedroom_Bed_Minimal_19

The brass and wood Samira Tables are from The Citizenry’s Morocco Collection and are the perfect size and scale for any room. Use them together as a collection or separately depending on where you need them and what you plan on using them for.  On top of them we gave her a place for her trinkets, some fresh flowers, and of course a vintage basket lamp that she probably picked up from one of her travels.

Last but certainly not least we are rounding up the “1 bed 4 ways” with what we are calling our “Southwest & Chic” bedroom.

Emily-Henderson_The-Citizenry_1-Bed-4-Ways_Textiles_Global_Eclectic_Boho_Western_Modern_Bedroom_Bed_Minimal_22

The inspiration for this one came from their Ceniza pillow and their Abrigo bedspread both of which play together so well not only in this look but with many other styles.

Emily-Henderson_The-Citizenry_1-Bed-4-Ways_Textiles_Global_Eclectic_Boho_Western_Modern_Bedroom_Bed_Minimal_23

Taking cues from the pillow we brought the same angular and geometric lines to the lamp on the nightstand. Echoing elements like this allow you to mix different styles like the southwest pillow with the more modern graphic lamp.

Emily-Henderson_The-Citizenry_1-Bed-4-Ways_Textiles_Global_Eclectic_Boho_Western_Modern_Bedroom_Bed_Minimal_25

Next to the bed we have their leather stool from The Argentina Collection which of course was probably brought in from one this persons overnight camping trips or outings. The stool folds up making it easy for extra seating when you need it and the simple lines and beautiful leather allow it to be mixed with almost every style.

Emily-Henderson_The-Citizenry_1-Bed-4-Ways_Textiles_Global_Eclectic_Boho_Western_Modern_Bedroom_Bed_Minimal_27

Just as we did in the woodsy organic setup, we kept things simple when it came to the pillow arrangement on this one. With their lumbar pillows all you really need is a few shams behind it and you are good to go. The vintage rug on the floor brings in some of the warmer tones in the vintage nightstand and leather stool as well as the graphic and angular motif of the pillow and blanket. Well folks, there you have it, 1 bedroom 4 very different ways. We are hanging our hat up on this one (just like this person did in their room), but let us know if you have any questions on any of the products, looks, or styles. In the meantime be sure to click through the get the looks for all the products we used.

I really liked the first one and second, but the third one, OMG. I need to change everything in my bedroom now to convert it to THAT!

More and more I understand why, being a lover of bright colors, I should have bought the main decor pieces in neutral colors. But of course, I’m thinking this after putting a big mint sofa in the living room, and a coral duvet (this one https://www.zarahome.com/ic/cama/fundas-n%C3%B3rdicas/funda-n%C3%B3rdica-sat%C3%A9n-estampado-monocolor-c1020053006p300030192.html) with a greenish blue drapes in my bedroom… now struggling with finding accesories to go around them that would look interesting but not a mess.

The staging options presented are inspiring,

But the pricing on the merchandise is a bit out of range of we mere, non-California bubble residing, ordinary mortals! So discouraging, but none the less inspiring to possibly pursue more frugal look-alike options.

In photos 1 and 4, I don’t see how you can possibly read in bed using those lamps placed so far off to the outer edge of the bedtable, as they won’t throw light properly. Nor do I see an easy way to turn them off when you’re sleepy, without twisting waaaay over to reach the switch. On photo 3, with the hanging lamp, how do you turn it on and off? I see no switch or cord or remote…..

These are all pretty rooms but wildly impractical for actual living. Tables too cluttered with decor to hold the iphone or alarm clock, or recharger cords or ereaders or books in progress, or glasses, or wallets, or water, or whatever most of us like to keep handy while we’re sleeping.

I actually just purchased some blue linen sheets (https://www.wayfair.com/Sheets-l1224-c431080-O9693~Linen.html) from Wayfair. Waiting for them to come in (1 more day). Have you ever purchased from Wayfair? Is their quality on par with CULTIVER? I’ve never used them before and honestly was a little hesitant!

I also buy from Wayfair and am a huge fan of their inventory. And, more importantly, their prices and free shipping! But I’m always looking for new online shopping addictions so will need to check out Cultiver.

3M hooks and velcro strips work great when you don’t want to put holes in your walls. I’ve used them for gallery walls with great success.

I am curious about the round black table in the ‘woodsy’ room. Would you be able to share the source? The base is a little different from the one listed in the ‘get the look section’ and I love the elegance of the simple pedestal base.
