"My bedroom walls have off-centered molding and no matter where I put my bed, it looks wrong!"-- Scott Delman

BEFORE
Can you have too much of a good thing? In the case of molding -- yes, you certainly can. Scott knows first hand how difficult a room full of molding can be. Where does the bed go? Do you work with it, or against it? And how do you balance the blue-and-white color palette?
Enter our Minute Makeover guru, Bob Richter, who's never met moldings he couldn't tame. He played off of the architectural details by bringing in IKEA's Trondheim bed frame with its clean white lines and placing it in the corner to provide the room with some much-needed balance. (And the Sultan Fossing mattress keeps things comfy).
And now for the color pop: Don't be scared, Scott, but Bob choose orange as the accent color -- boy does it accent! Interestingly, a geometric pattern works with the lines of the molding. The room gets another dash of white -- this time, in the form of the low-key Lack wall shelf that serves as a space-saving bedside table for his Textur table lamp and Vikis alarm clock.
And because walls cannot live on moldings alone, Bob brought in a calming seascape from a local flea market to add warmth and personality.
AFTER
Scott has a cool, relaxing spot to rest his head -- and a stylishly masculine room to wake up to every morning.
