Hi we are looking for some bedroom inspiration on colours and the wardrobe doors.
The room is quite narrow (thats a king bed). chester draws we probably will change or move to other rooms.
We are thinking about downlighters in here as well.

Master bedroom - help please!
Comments (10)Ok, this is a great space so easy to fix. People might give you specific advice but really it depends on your taste. There are 3 important things you are lacking that will fix your room - zoning, texture and lighting. zoning - if you can walk into a room and read it immediately it translate as boring. To fix this you need to draw the eye around the room. You can use furniture, art, points of interest to do this. Perhaps a cool chair outside the bathroom door or a chaise lounge. Perhaps a big banana plant or fiddle fig between your windows. Perhaps a huge piece of art above the bed. Perhaps some cool wallpaper art there (check out Curious Egg). A reading nook? How about filling that massive space between the end of your bed and wardrobes? You could put a huge pouffe, love seat or ottoman on a rug there so it looks a bit like a dressing room area with seating. Anthropologie do some great options. texture - you need a huge rug to go partially under your bed and soften the room. Try French connection home or la redoute for affordable options. Why not texturise the wall your bed is against. Do the whole wall or a textured headboard made of timber etc. Abigail ahern does some great, easy to assemble faux wall options. Again I would recommend plants. Not everyone likes these I need a bedroom but again Abigail ahern does some great fauxs. lighting - the room is very light and bright but at night it probably can look a bit stark or cold. I would definitely advocate some free standing lights. These should be near whatever zones you create. Certainly I would have some bedside lamps and maybe a taller freestanding lamp elsewhere. Rule of thumb in a room this size is at least 5 lamps or freestanding lighting units! finally, if you like neutrals and want to avoid colour, neutral colour through texture is a great solution. A beni oudain rug, a large sheepskin over the bottom of the bed, a large wicker chair. And of course, plants. good luck!...See MoreSplit large second bedroom with ensuite into two bedrooms
Comments (5)Thanks OnePlan. In answer to your question, this is somewhere we're planning on staying 'for life' so with a toddler and another one planned in the very near future we just thought it would be more practical to end-up with a large master with ensuite, good sized second bedroom and two smaller doubles - one each for the children and a guest room. I know it all boils down to individual circumstances, hence the above but it's otherwise a large property (nearly 2000 sq ft) in a lovely plot and area so the only real compromise seems the missing fourth bedroom....See MoreMaster Bedroom Colour Scheme Advice
Comments (5)Thanks for the feedback everyone! The little greene slaked lime paint certainly looks like a nice colour and along the lines of what i was thinking for the main bulk of the walls. I am new to this so still unaware of all these bespoke companies and what they can offer!! The point you make Daisy about possibly making a feature is interesting, what sort of contrast colour do you think would work well with such furniture? I have done a bit of research and seen this furniture used with blue colours in some applications, although not bedrooms. The only element of the furniture in the main bedroom is the recessed shelving unit as shown in the top photo - the rest are in the separate dressing room. Thank you once again....See MoreL-shaped master bedroom - am I missing a layout trick?
Comments (3)Good afternoon, one option, could be: moving the door to the Master to the middle and build your dressing along each wall (or leave the door where it is and work through an L shape dressing) to then have your en-suite and bed space along the windows. There are various layout options that can be tested with this option but that would probably be the best use of space in view of the room layout and location of the windows. I hope this helps. Happy to discuss further. Best wishes Sonia...See More

7 years agoOh sorry, I thought you'd like the Egyptian cotton Dulux in the bedroom too. Well, if you like dark walls you could paint the wall behind the bed dark blue, it would give it some depth and then hang some light coloured art on it, with side lights mounted on the wall each side of the bed. I think it would look brilliant.
I do not suggest mirrored doors in the bedroom right next to the bed, it is not practical and it's proven to have an unpleasant psychological effect on the long term.
Have a look if you'd have space behind the TV to place 2 sockets - one for the tv and one for the sky box. If yes, then you can hide all the cables behind the TV and place the sky box on a floating shelf under the TV. You could save some extra work & money this way. The Q mini box is tiny, fits on a very narrow shelf, to allow you to save enough space to bypass it.
I've attached some images for inspiration. Maybe you'll like some of the ideas :)
