Does anyone have any suggestions that would help me create a very tranquil bedroom?

I'd go for either soft neutrals, pastels or soft greens in terms of colour. Duck egg is also good but needs mixing with other colours to avoid it looking cold, Add subtle pattern. Accessorise with cushions (in different textures again), a rug and a throw for a cosy feel. I'd also add table lamps for soft lighting and a couple of plants or flowers. Maybe wood furniture. Do you have any particular styles you like and suggestions can be made? Does the room get much light?

Hello Pippa,

Yes Minnie's right.. Calming colours that naturally compliment like several shades of 1 colour...So you may like a particular shade like pink for example and see colour variations below.. From Little Greene in this case... So a varying degree of colour that compliments and accents for the walls and wood work.. Chalky and matt are best...

Then you can add complimentary and contrasting tones for bedding soft furnishings like pale greys or silvers with white linens.. or stone colours and woods.. Keep flooring light and paint the ceiling a lovely warm colour like Whitening by LG again.. If you're laying flooring with rugs, keep to a similar colour, that way the floor looks expansive rather than defined..

Mood lighting with table lamps or wall lighting.. with soft warm white bulbs gives a calm and warm light as opposed to bright white and from a central single pendant.. : ) )

Hi how about some custom built cabinetry on your chimney breast wall? You could incorporate a dressing table with task lighting behind the doors? Have attached a pic for inspiration. http://houzz.com/photos/56871 How about some beautiful pendant lights to hang beside your bed from the ceiling? For sitting you could do the obvious and have built in storage in your bay window, or simply opt for a lovely chair and ottoman/footstool :)

I'd probably also have the little ones share a room. I was asking with the thought that maybe something interesting could be done in the original kitchen space. Like if there was some space under the stairs etc. Back to original question I think you could fit it in that reduced sized room. It depends on how much you want in your kitchen. A single wall kitchen and dining table would work well. If the extra room works for you then should be good. You could always move the kitchen into the larger room and use ithe smaller room as a study or playroom for now. Change it over when you really need it for a bedroom.

Hi Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. Definitely food for thought! I've not got photos of the roof at the moment but we are going for a second viewing on Saturday so I'll take some then. In the meantime I've attached some of the pictures from the listing. Our favourite parts of the house are the original bits - the kitchen and lounge so I think opening up between the kitchen and lounge to create a kitchen/diner living space as Steph initially suggested would be good if its possible to remove the wall?! I think there would then be space for the dining room to be divided to provide a hall with perhaps utility storage adjacent to the bathroom and the extra bedroom we need. I've had a play around with the existing floorplan and come up with this - any comments (glaring obvious things I've missed!) would be so helpful. Once again, thanks!! Entrance Garden Dining room

The suggestions above will look really good and create a great space. All I would be to suggest addressing any draft issues before you begin decorating as there is nothing less relaxing then sitting in a cold spot. There are a number of solutions that can address any issues from windows and doors.

Depends what colours you like. As little furniture & clutter as possible. Low key soft colours; white, light grey, off white etc. Lots of layering with some cushions & throws on the bed. Nice bed, bedside tables with a soft glow bulb. A little chair in a corner etc.

I had a similar dilemma and chose a forest theme for my tranquil bedroom and it's working out beautifully. I've shared a few pictures in my post - search for tranquil forest bedroom and it should come up. I think the blend of green with neutrals of cream and natural wood creates a really serene space that is lovely to spend time in :)
