Bedroom restyle, help :)
helloo! I have just changed my bedroom and bought the side tables, dresser and the mirror
first what do you think of the combination?
second how do I put the mirror That is on top of the dresser? Horizontal or vertical ? Low or high from it?
how do I bring some contrast to the room? Wall paper? Which color? Style ?
also, any idea on how to decorate the wall on top of the bed?
Many thanks

How to make this space look better?
Comments (27)Hello Sanaa, The dining table looks nice at the window.. I like the two chairs at the side too but equally you could place one either side of the window... Maybe a small picture just above the sockets.. This then frames the window with the table in the middle.. You could then illuminate the right hand corner with a floor lamp.. Not too far in the corner though.. The little table and lamp can then move a bit further along to join the sofa.. Can you move the sofa a bit further away from the dining area, so there is a bigger divide.... With the two sofas.. what about giving them a gap, so the rear sofa moves along to the right a bit more.. Possibly open them up as 2 chairs rather than try to make a sofa out of them.. See how that looks or what you prefer.. Add a few cushions to compliment the colours and an accent colour or two.. Grey like you have with silvers, creams, stone.. With the pouffes don't be afraid to partially place them on top of each other rather than set their place so they can be seen as occasional seating.. or relaxed on the floor watching tv kind of seat.. I see though you are trying to see how an armchair would look.. I think you could go for 1, but absolutely what you have works, so you don't need to rush to replace anything.. See how you feel with it.. There is room for coffee table too if you want it.. The console is nice where you have put it.. It works well with the picture.... It is a perfect entrance.. I would say the picture could go up a little bit.. 10 cm and see how that looks... You want to give it and your family pictures each their space.. Do you see how versatile your furnishings are and if you were to get different sofas you can then see how they can move around.. The chandelier lighting.. you may want to see if you can lower these slightly but if not, just an idea.. You could try the round mirror with the leather strap closer to the dining table.. Then the 3 pictures could then move along a bit and with a small gap between so they sit roughly behind the rear sofa.. Or are they all 1 piece.. A thought if you want to see how that works.. I think the mirror would really look good with the dining table.. Splendid, looking though Sanaa it's taken shape..... ; ))...See MoreMain 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 MoreHelp! Lake condo bedroom needs help!
Comments (3)Hi Kathy, loving the blue upholstery on your bed. Very coastal and calming. A great focal point and start to what you trying to achieve [and the dresser too!] You have some great ideas. - have you thought of pendants by either side of the bed instead or just stick to your wall sconces [will give you much lighter / cosier feel]_black string = not bound to finish choices for the lighting body? [you could still use wall sconces - sconces also can go above the dresser [you have lots of options on mixing & matching] - you can relocate the pendant where the door is - where the fan is here [just close it off] - for walls, I would go for breezy/ coastal blue paint to add some life here or sand colour textured wallpaper - start with wall first & the rest will follow naturally and you will expand on with great confidence Message me if you are stuck or need pointing in the right direction.

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoHello Sanaa again.. Okay.. So first of all.. With the slim peacock/teal blue? (it is hard to tell so if I am not quite right here with the colour you know what I am trying to see and say) runner rug, it's a bit too small. If you want it then you could buy 2 more.. Make a rug so to speak but out of runner style such as it is.. Place 2 more exactly in front of it to balance that space between wall and bed. There will be gaps between but that will work nicely.. This way it balances with the size of the room.
The little sheepskin is too small.. I would place this on the chair angled so part of the chair is visible... Chair could be angled more to the corner and further into the room... Bed needs teal accents so 2 large cushions to dress the bed. A throw across 1 third of the bottom of the bed will also look nice... Something to compliment so a darker colour that the bed frame. Teal and mushroom colours can work and need something creamy to lift...
So creamy coloured cushions could also work too.... I have a whopping 12 cushions on mine... 2 are huge square things that are like headboards in themselves.. though.. Still I do laugh at it.. but it looks good - just not finished anywhere..
Possibly paint the wall a nice slightly darker colour to the bed frame.. This will make it stand out quite a bit and with the accents of teal will be nice.. I will add a few colours based on what I can see... Every screen is a bit different so I may be seeing darker than actually is.. Everything I say is a suggestion so it's a guide.. not a comment. So you can see if the ideas work for you..
Side tables go either side of the bed and the long cabinet, see if you like it under the window.. I cannot see from the angle of the image where it could be situated with the mirror above it.. Unless you moved the tv.. I did not want to suggest you to have something on the floor there, as it will obstruct the flow...
Could you possibly have the mirror hanging without the side table? I think it could be lovely hanging above one of the side tables.. If you wanted absolute symmetry then you could possibly find another for the other side..
For above the bed what about something lovely like a Juju hat? I think the wall in a darker mushroom could really accent the bed and the side tables and mirrors... Then a lovely soft piece like the juju to compliment the industrial feel of the units would be perfect.. I have found 3 as they come in different sizes and you could accent the colours then...
Am I right in thinking there is a window to the right of the doorway? I thought so, and the chair is a nice fit there... you can sit and look out..
One last thing... Have you got some table lamps for the side tables? I will have a look... Also the pendant could be bigger and possibly not black.. Something lighter I feel would be nice, what do you think.. : ))
Large accent cushions I mentioned.. but in teal and cream for you with the throws again in your colours if you liked the idea..
table lamp idea
Juju's in groupings.. So you can see how dramatic they can look.. I'm not suggesting you have this many.. Even 1 could be lovely! but if you are not familiar with them, they are quite amazing.. They are a headdress.. ONE important note!!! For feathers or anything like that it is a must to have lavender moth repellents, they come in discs are not expensive.. but they are a must! Nobody told me about this when I bought my Juju and it has been eaten in part!! Still it would not put me off getting more at some point hopefully.. : ))

8 years agoHello Amber!!
thanks a lot for your always inspiring ideas.... I love it!
sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, the color of the rug is teal yes as I wanted to bring this effect with the grey side table and dresser and curtain.
few questions:
- for the rug, I agree too small, but what is the desired nice effect, should it be under bed, do I get a bigger one? As I got this from US so won't find the same in dubai...
- for the TV and the chair, the plan is to remove the TV and there put the dresser and the mirror, but you mentioned it won't work? Should I put it under the window?
For the chair, I can put it next to the balcony door? Or should I get something with the teal or grey color and nicer?
- I love the idea of the mirror on top of the side table :) and I have lamps ( see them attached) I took two different colours for style ;) let me know what you think about them
- so the dresser either under the TV and instead of TV I put a mirror or a frame? Or under the window ( as you can see next to TV there is the bathroom which is opposite the bed
- I lovebyhe Juju but don't know who sells them in dubai ... I have to ask around
- if I remove yen sheepskin I don't put any other rug there?
- what kind of ceiling lamp would work, I have two now ( picture attached)
- for the back wall of the bed, do you think wall paper would be an option or only painting? Between my ceiling is grey
let me knowwill send you pictures by end of today when furniture arrives :)
thanks!!!sanaa

8 years agoHello Sanaa, I'm very glad to be inspiring!! : ) ) This is the idea to offer ideas that the client has not thought of, so you have a number of ideas to work with, and that you love them.. So that is brilliant! .. You will have to tell your friends in Dubai so they can hire me.. : )
Okay so moving on to the points.. I wasn't sure if you would be able to get the same teal runner again ... I think there is a possibility you can find something in teal that is approximately 3 times the size for this particular placement.. If however you want something the bed sits on... Then think about something that is slightly wider than the bed..
Either something that the bed sits on entirely.. So you have rug showing all the way around.. This negates the need for the sheepskin but alternatively, you could have something that is smaller and wider so it shows off at the foot and sides of the bed... Does that make sense to you? I'll try to find a pic to add at the bottom to show you the two placements..
There may be the possibility to move the runner to your bathroom? So you have a little continuity here, depends on your preference and size of bathroom...
I didn't know you were thinking of moving the tv but the door walks straight into where you would place the unit.. so I think you should leave entrances free unless there is a lot of space... Here there is a short wall and doorway into the bathroom so it would be really close to the entrance door.. Try it and see what you think... I still like the dresser under the 3 windows.. but try them both and see what you like best.. I'd still have the chair angled in that corner.. You can sit with the door open if you didn't want to be outside on the balcony.... It could be a nice alternative...
If you removed the tv, there isn't an obvious placement unless you left it above the cabinet if you chose to place it there.. Unless it has a bracket that can pull out and angle... In that case you could situate it on the left wall (from the bed) Right if you are standing at doorway.. Then it is slightly closer to the bed and can be angled accordingly.. You could then have a slim floor length mirror leaning on the wall or mounted where tv is currently...
Think the chair you can make work for now with the sheepskin on it.. Unless you happen to see something... It doesn't have to be a priority right now you can always get it later to add to the room..
I like the greener lamp.. but again try it out.. If you are going to paint the wall or wallpaper then you might want to decide soon, so you could take back the colour you don't have or even have them both... Nobody says they have to be absolutely identical... They are the same shape but even if they were not.. Sometimes it is nice to have things that "nod" to the design of the other but not in quite the same way..
Had a quick look for Juju in UAE but I am certain you could find something.. There are online places that I am sure would have them or maybe an African store that could source for you.. Lots of places here in UK and London but.. shipping might be a cost!
For the ceiling light it needs to be a bit bigger... Something that fits the size of the room and can even be a teal shade... Possibly shaped to coordinate with the bedside lamps... If you didn't paint the rear wall.. and have a patterned rug, you could think about a really dramatic paper.. Hicks Hexagon large could be really amazing too.. It is available in 2 sizes from Cole & Son.. Could still have Juju in a white or creamy colour... Have included something to compliment bed with warm accents.. and something that is bolder altogether.. You would then need to cut back the teal rug and choose something that compliments the flooring.. Looking forward to seeing your images later on.. : ))

8 years agoHello Amber:) so after your comments and with what I have so far I have tried to arrange the room :)
see the picture and let me know your comments :)
i also have few questions:
- after trying the dresser you were right :) it looked much better under the windows- do I need to put sthg on top of it or keep it empty ?
- I m keeping both lamps as I think it's a nice and different :) - what do you think? Anything else that I should put next to them on the side table ?
- for the rug, would be great if you show me example on the two ways you mentioned :)
- if I keep the TV what do I put under? The White empty wall doesn't bother?
if I remove it and put it in another room as we never use it, how tall should be the mirror there?
- for the existing mirror, I have tried it on top of the side table but I guess it's too big? Look at the picture and tell me if not shocking and if you recommend
- for the lamp, I'm still not clear on which style of lamp will go with the lamp that I have as you mentioned ?
- for the juju I will look in UAE else will order... Otherwise any other option that can fit there?
also, is it ok to have not a single picture in the room or do you recommend any in a specific place?
Many many thanks
PS; I would love to recommend you please share with me your details to do so

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoHello Sanaa, Sorry I got the images and forgot to add them... The room is looking good!! You have a nice seat at the bottom of the bed.. That's a nice touch too.. Little side tables are too close to the bed.. Move them a little further away.. Angle the armchair towards the bed... So it's in the room so to speak you can always turn it round when you want to sit in it.. It just looks better facing in. You have found a new place for the sheepskin!.. That works!!
Why not add a vase or something nice for the cabinet under the window.. Or a decorative box or something for watch, jewellery or personal things or both!
I have just seen a bit more of your room... So I saw handles.. Handles belonging to wardrobes! haha, I didn't see that before... so my idea of tv there on that wall is not a good suggestion : ) ) ! If you did want to remove the tv.. A full height mirror could be nice just to lean up against the wall.. Something that compliments the room so maybe another with a silvery boarder... Or if you introduced pictures with wooden frames.. It could have a wooden frame to pick out the floor and the legs of the chair.. There is more about this l8r!
Yes do keep the lamps different as I mentioned, I think it's nice and if you like it.. ... Also I don't mind the wall being plain where the tv is .. The idea is that you don't really notice it and instead see how the room unfolds...
With the mirror over the side tables.. I meant hanging on the wall sorry I didn't make myself clear... I'd suggest the bottom could sit just above the top of the lamp. Can you get your chap to stand and hold the mirror up so you can see as it will need to work with the height of the wall and the headboard..... So it is in balance.. but you would need 2... There's more on this l8r!
I would say getting the absolute placement of the bed before hanging the mirrors if you choose to do that... I see you need room to access the wardrobes.. So make sure the little table to the far side near the window has an equal placement between the wall and the bed.. as you do the other one..
If you cannot find the Juju, by all means have something.. Possibly you might want something large.. In this case make it very discreet colour wise.... Depending on what you do with the wall... paper, paint.. it will determine what you choose to hang.. If you opt for something large, you can hang it and then situate the bed just in front so it's not touching.. It can even hang below the headboard, so it frames the bed... I rather like this idea..
Then put the mirror on the wall where the tv is.. If you really want to remove the tv then the mirror there could also look lovely plus, you would not need to look for another one! Also good for last minute checks before going out!
So maybe the back wall has juju or a large canvas style subtle picture.... Have a think and see what you like the idea of... There is another option or two if Juju cannot be found.. Juju is a nice feminine touch, and Canvas can be a more masculine approach....
Thank you so much! My details are see below my company name with link to my website.. : ))
Large if you go with something narrower in shape..
Only for bed and rug placement.. Don't like the wall shelves or the pictures!
Bed is not my thing at all but again it's for the placement so you can see what you like best.. Both will work with the seat at the foot of the bed... : ))
