So I received so much amazing help with my lounge, I thought if try next with my bedroom. Basically I need some help with curtain, duvet, throw and cushion colours. Plus any other suggestions/improvements anyone recommends. I can't post any actual pictures of the room as the builders are currently there so I've added the first picture to show the room layout. Essentially three walls are white and I'm adding a feature wall in the wallpaper picture I've added. I've also added a picture of the bed and of the chest of drawers I am thinking of buying. I haven't bought these things yet (except the bed) so if people think the chest of drawers, for example, wouldn't match the bed or wallpaper please let me know.
Currently the colour scheme is white and grey but I think the room will definitely need another colour, maybe sage green?'and so this is where I need all your help as I really don't know if I should have the curtains, duvet etc in the same colours or different, or even if the green would clash? I also don't really know what style I'm going for so I don't know what shape side tables I should be looking for? Maybe french style, I don't know.
Sorry for the long message and thank you all in advance for your help :)

Bedroom Layout help
Comments (30)One plan - thank you thank you thank you... I have been at work all day earning £ to pay for this little lot and have only just seen your plans and advice. Your quick(??) sketch up shows exactly what I was thinking but couldn't visualise. It looks great. What width would you advise is the minimum for the walk in to allow movement space ? It has even prompted the man of the house to get his tape measure out which is good ! This would definitely give us the most storage space of all our options. So now there are 3 options To weigh up. 1. Walk in - Will throw current symmetry of room, but will definitely give the most hidden storage space (perfect as we also need linen and towel storage for the house within this room somewhere). Assuming cost will be studded wall, plastering plus internal fittings. 2. Alcove wardrobes - Will maintain symmetry of the room, will give the least storage of all options. Probably the most expensive option as will require bespoke alcoves with internal fittings. May install fireplace/ dressing table to chimney breast. 3. Wardrobe bank along wall opposite chimney. This would maintain symmetry of alcoves. I think storage would probably be somewhere between the other 2 options. Maybe more potential to get wardrobe company in to have a look. I like the look of the handle less ones shown above. Would leave option of bed on wall either as you come into the room or on the chimney breast. Luciana - thanks for your measurements - really helpful. I will add them onto our plan to check how the space works. I'm in Bristol - which Italian company did you use ? Those fittings are really lovely. I'm not sure where else to source just the interior bits. All - we have the most fabulous carpenter - retired guy who doesn't charge the earth and also just does a few jobs to keep himself out of his wife's hair ! Perfect - he's been one of the finds of our job - a real gem. Really appreciate all the advice - I'm going over to see how monk0104 is getting on with her kitchen plan. What fun this is !!...See MoreHelp me design my main bedroom please
Comments (7)I would paint your bed and ivory with a glaze over it ,then it would use texture and layer neutral sheets blankets and pillows since the room is so small ,hang curtains as high as you can and as far out from the window frame as you can to make the window look larger and taller. if you lighten up the bed with paint as suggested the room will look bigger as well ,then you can use side tables in mirror finish for some drama or round with a cloth top even ...with the room being small I would stay neutral and you bedside lamp shade needs to be at a hight that you can lay in bed and read under. The light.too small of a lamp will make them seem out of place ...try a textured soft larger neutral rug under your bed ,larger is better...See MoreHelp me decorate My Bedroom
Comments (10)Ok so your taste is a little more traditional. I still think greens and possibly duck egg blues will compliment that colour of wood as per these photos. If you want something a little warmer you could try a darker wine colour? You could try an Internet search for traditional style hotel bedrooms for inspirational ideas....See MorePlease help with colours for my brother's bedroom
Comments (6)Hi Johnleh, I've just read through your request and I think I can give you some advice! I like the idea of the purple and the paint you have chosen, but how about trying mushroom coloured curtains? If you got them in a good quality, thick material they would look really smart and also complement the fig paint. If it is an option, wooden flooring could work really well - it's what most trendy flats have and it also has a grown up apartment look. I would also suggest adding a free standing plant in one of the corners - this will brighten the room and introduce another colour. You can get a reasonably priced one of these (plus a simple pot to put it in) from places like homebase: https://goo.gl/NCpNsC. Oak furniture would also look great - to tie in with the style of the property, you could even get some in a 1950s style (or good quality vintage) - it's right on trend at the moment. I'm thinking a chair/table with spikey legs. Hope this helps! (chairs are both from Swoon Editions: www.swooneditions.com)...See More

The furniture and wall paper are lovely.

9 years agoIf there's a moratorium on blue at the opposite, then at the quarters we have the sage green you were talking of, and a heather.
Saying that, I think if you work with the darkest shades of the bed like I've done in my mood board with the curtains, rugs and accessories, then you will have no problems with the room being a wash-out.
Loads of options! ;)

9 years agoI've just done a mood board with purple curtains as you said you find it hard to visualise :)
Again, everything is UK highstreet prices :) (Just ask if a green one would be helpful - I love vicariously shopping in my spare time ;) ). HTH xxx

9 years agoMy first thought is that the bed looks a little close to the furniture across from the foot of it. I might try the bed on the window wall and instead of the piece on the wall that has the door, eliminate it and get two bedside table pieces with storage to accommodate whatever you were going to store in the piece across from the foot of the bed in your plan. I like beige and gray schemes in the bedroom too, and find some live green plants add a perfect spot of color, or perhaps a kind of acid green silk texture throw pillow. My suggestion is to browse Houzz photos and save the color schemes that you really love! Adding something sparkly will pep up a design that you think is too monochromatic as well - some silver or crystal bling? I added some bling-y chandeliers on either side of the bed in one of my bedrooms, which is fairly monochromatic in beige and gray tones. Some of the throw pillows also have a silvery touch in them.
