Lovely bedroom, but don´t know what to do with it. Please help.
Comments (23)HI MARINA, I love your bedroom- great high ceilings. Your furniture is also nice. I would follow the lead from the furniture keeping all furniture white. I love tropical coastal style. I would put up a white ceiling fan and ikea sell some white nets that let in loads of light and give privacy. I would decorate the walls in an off white with a hint of pink in it for warmth and to bring out the tones in your beautiful floor. I would collect local art for the walls. I would go to town on the bedding and cushions for the bed. I would mix your favourite colours- turquoise, teal, with green and coral. Making the room have a tropical coastal beach hotel vibe. I would feel like I was on holiday every day and never want to leave. Once you've surrounded yourself with personal things like photo frames of loved ones, plants/ flowers etc, you will feel right at home and settled. I've loved decorating for years, and tried lots of colours on walls but recently I've returned to off whites as they are so flexible and you can change the look with coloured accessories regular. "2 good books to read are Greg Natale - 'A tailored interior'- He's great, and tells you trade secrets to give your home the wow factor an be your own interior designer. Also anything by Barclay Butera - he's the best for coastal/beach styles. Wishing you lots of fun....See MoreMaster 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 MoreBedroom furniture help please
Comments (2)Okay there's a chance you may not see this but how about something unique overall? I recently got my bedroom done and added pendant lighting, and remote control blinds with any of the tv beds and my bedrooms a lot more comfortable now. With the cupboards, maybe go for something more contemporary looking or switch up the paint + finish for something more aesthetic....See MoreHelp with bedroom design with dressing room and ensuite please
Comments (5)I’m assuming the soil pipe is near to the top right corner. There could be two entrances to the bathroom if you had a smaller shower and placed the bath diagonally across the corner under the window. For added light to the wardrobe area, the bed partition need not be full height The TV position might be an issue, perhaps where the dressing table is shown….. Lovely big room, I am imagining a lovely view is through the patio windows…...See Morekatieme2015
9 years agoYes being looking everything a taller chest of drawers are to expensive for my budget was hoping you find me of of your bargains, which you have I like the dunelm size is perfect although might have to change those black knobs. I have just found this one which I am in love with just concerned because it's says antique white but it looks more like an ivory/ cream colour, also not sure which bedside tables to go for what do you think. Which of the two ranges should I go for?

8 years agoHi Katie. As they're small you could try them like this. Maybe take a pic with the lamps on the bedsides. If not I prefer them lined up to the headboard but again try them with the lamps on the bedside
