A bedroom goes from drab to drop-dead gorgeous.

A bedroom makeover that is both glamorous and budget-friendly? Yes, please. This cozy bedroom sits on a cobblestone street in the heart of the West Village in an apartment formerly owned by an artist, who enjoyed the space for the abundance of natural light.

Not long ago, a west coast-based couple purchased the home as a pied-a-terre, but they needed a little bit of help finishing the space. So, they called in the design duo of Maison24, Allison Julius and Louis Marrawhich, to help them makeover the space. The room's re-design focused on the couple's love of Dorothy Draper's modern-baroque style.

To create the foundation for this sexy-modern bed chamber, Maison24 said goodbye to the drab brown floors and blah wall colors. Instead the floors were stained jet black, and the walls, ceilings, doors and moldings were coated in Benjamin Moore's crisp 'Super White' paint -- for a high contrast effect.

The newly designed space is dressed with a variety of luxurious fabrics in subtle tones of charcoal and platinum mixed with classic black and white. The bed rests on a clean-lined platform with a tufted headboard in a soothing gray, and it is dressed in crisp, classic linens. Meanwhile, a quirky throw pillow and a mini-Jeff Koons 'Ballon Dog' sculpture keep things a little playful.

Maison24 also replaced the original hanging light with a much more elegant hand-blown Venetian glass chandelier. The new light fixture is a focal point, rather than an afterthought, in the re-designed space.

Other highlights of this sumptuous space include ottomans with Lucite bases and Tony Duquette Gemstone Smoke tufted seats, a vintage Dorothy Draper-style mirror from the Eden Roc Hotel in Miami and plush white shag area rugs add a crisp, modern edge.

    Don't care for the all white walls or the gray, tufted headboard.

    No art, no books -- what's WRONG with these people?
