Help me design my main bedroom please

Hello houzzers!
I'm nearly exchanging contracts and I'm so excited I am already designing and making a list of to buy :). I want my bedroom to look lovely but not sure how to do it. I have a wooden bed and chocolate damask wallpaper.
Please help me with
1. What bedside cabinets to go for. I don't want everything to be in the wood colour of the bed!
2. Ceiling light and lamp shades. I have the attached stands
3. Flooring and rug. Existing carpet going, so clean slate there
4. How to dress the windows. There are double windows which are like in the middle of the wall! I hate it when there is a big gap between the ceiling and the curtain pole!
5. What colours to mix with the brown so it's not dull
The room is not exactly huge. Only 9'8" x 11'7". It has two fitted wardrobes (fitted into the wall). The wardrobe doors are white gloss. The wardrobes takes practically all the wall they are on. Not sure if I can post a pic of the room since we haven't exchanged contracts yet??
Thank you all for your expertise. A mood board would be lovely if someone can do one.. I tried but all that came out was realisation that I'm not a computer whizz! :)

Main bedroom dilemma: Bedroom layout, walk in wardrobe(?)
Comments (9)Just a thought, what about putting the bed against the wall of the walk in wardrobe and you can still have your headboard, no need to change or move a radiator and the wife's side of the bed would be next to the wardrobe entrance. It's all a bit cramped by the looks of things and while you'll have your ensuite and your walkin wardrobe you'll still be walking into a box room. Another thought I had to to lose the bedside cabinets and increase the appearance of space would be in to have the bed side lights on the partition wall and the storage built into the stud wall with pull out shelves for those breakfast in bed moments and cups of tea. Change the door to open onto your landing as well!!! Good luck...See MorePlease Help Me Improve My Bedroom.
Comments (4)Hi Tino! I see what you mean, it is missing a little something. A few things you could do: 1) You mentioned a grey-yellow-white theme and your inspiration pic also goes that way but in your actual room there is no sign of the yellow. What it would do is bring depth and points that your eyes will naturally focus on when you look at your room. When you don't have that it's easy to feel like the room is plain. Especially if you look at your third picture (just the bed) it's very pastel, almost faded so bring some contrast. 2) Your light fitting to me is just too plain, it's very standard looking so I would go for something a little more unique, without going crazy of course but even a glass one for example like this: Available here: https://www.hutsly.com/collections/lighting/products/warsaw-glass-globe-pendant-light 3) The third thing is that currently your bed is a little lost in the room, against a white background. I would add bedisde tables and table lamps and more importantly I would put wall art up, maybe a couple of square pictures above the bed or one large one. That will also instantly change the feel of the room. Maybe something geometric to tie in with your (very cool btw) carpet. Available here: https://www.hutsly.com/collections/wall-art/products/agadir-canvas So something a bit like this (excuse the poor Photoshopping!): Hope that helps a bit, Anthony....See MorePlease can anyone help with a Design Plan for our Bedroom?
Comments (12)Hi Claire, Do the doors actually open inwards into the room? How about considering place the bed in the center of the room facing the doors? You would disguise the back of the bed with a thin console table which have some dressing style storage (jewelry etc) and can hold some tall flowers and candles to set the mood on entering. There's lots of ways you can add the luxury feel you are looking but this would create real impact and make the bed the real feature of the space. If budget allows I would hang lights from the ceiling ad beside lights and layer up on dressing for an even more luxurious feel. I have attached one of my clients bedroom design (single room re-design package) to show you the hanging lighting idea - if this isn't possible then a well placed small chandelier style light would have a great effect on the space. I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing the finished room - it will look stunning I am sure! all the best, Gina...See MorePlease help me design my bedroom

9 years agoI agree with everything Brandi has said. I think I'd do the bed in an old white though so it blends more with the wardrobes. I've attached a pic of a bed from harvest moon which would look similar to yours. If you're not confident at decorating then I would get someone to do it. Even if you go the chalk paint route it doesn't always give a great finish depending on the original finish of the furniture. In terms of colours you could stick to the neutrals in the wallpaper to keep the room looking light. Attached pic from mediodesign. The mirrors either side of the bed also help with the feeling of space as this room isn't particularly large either. If you layers textures the neutral colours won't be dull.

9 years agoYes it does help! This image is from the bold abode. It's a feature wall but not of paper so gives you an idea
