Small bedroom sloped ceiling dilemma
Few questions:-
1) the aluminium double glazed window - was going to paint this but it would need to be black as all the rubbers are black and I can't remove them) Is this too harsh for a bedroom or should I just leave it silver?? (The frame is currently being painted as its mahogany)
2) I presumed the double bed would need to go with the head under the slope as there is probably not enough room to have it in the middle of that back wall? (Which would look better) but would I still then make that back wall the feature wall? As I can't really decorate the slope.
3) I don't want it to have that spare bedroom empty look but what sort of decor should we go for that is fairly neutral for buyers??
Our other rooms are black & white with stripes and a soft grey themed with raspberry accents. Would a warm camel colour with black accents work?? It's a north facing room so I want to make it feel warm.

Comments (4)What about losing the drawers & putting a small wardrobe there. You could get a small wardrobe with a couple of drawers underneath. Is this for a child's bedroom or an adult ? As if so you could get the small wardrobe with 2 rails inside which will fit smaller children's clothes. Or a bed with drawers at the bottom ? If you can just have folded clothes you could buy an antique armroire which are generally too slim to have coat hangers in horizontally....See More2/3 Bedroom Flat Layout Dilemma
Comments (9)Your measurement differ from the agents measurements, especially your plan for the top floor, so I have made a best guess on the likely footprint. I have come up with this plan, I have tried to move the kitchen sink closer to the back and hopefully you may be able to put a soil pipe on the back of the building. Budget- this is a stumbling block- As you start to cost out all the necessary purchases will realise that your budget isn't big enough. Personally I would break down the cost of all the purchases you want to make and then cost the labour and then work out where you want to spend first or find more money. When I renovated my first property I also had big plans but ran out of cash quickly- like me you might end up doing the messiest stuff quickly then living with a bare shell until I had saved enough for the next stage....See MoreDesign Dilemma - bedrooms in our bedroom
Comments (3)Good morning, It may be worth measuring the room and uploading a plan, so that Houzz designers can properly assess the room and provide an accurate layout for you. Get some measurements of walls, windows and doors, as well as the ceiling height....See MorePaint dilemma for dorma bedroom
Comments (6)Hi Geetzy! I consider Light to be the most important aspect to consider when I specify colours for the rooms I design. Is your room bright or dark? Have you consider how the light changes in your room throughout the day? I believe we should not try to fight the nature of a room, a light room should be kept light and a dark room, dark - that we way we avoid it looking flat and lifeless. Now, your room looks like it doesn't have an abundance of natural light, so I would definitely fight the temptation to force it to feel brighter. I absolutely love the colours you mentioned, F&B Hague Blue and Stiffkey Blue and I think they would work perfectly! However, I would not advise a bright white ceiling, as this would only highlight where the walls end and the ceiling being. And the walls in some parts of your bedrooms are quite short. And if you decided to paint the eaves white, this would highlight a small patch of flat ceiling. Having the same colour on the ceiling as the wall, makes it difficult to tell where one ends and the other beings, giving the impression of the ceiling being raised. So I would say, go for one colour. A warm, darker colour/wallpaper, will make your room feel opulent and above all _interesting_. I love the idea of painting the joinery in the same colour. How about adding an interesting colour on the inside, avoiding the default white? maybe an oak veneer? Hope this is helpful! Have a lovely day Renata Drumond Interiors...See More

8 years agoHi Tani. What if you were to have the bed under the slope but with the headboard on the 9"8 ŵall. The pic just shows an idea with curtains, it does make the room all about the bed but may also give built in storage options.

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoSometimes, especially with smaller rooms it's better to show more floor space. Don't over crowd the room. I would personally put a single bed under it going in the same direction with the foot under the lowest point of the eaves to give an even better illusion of space. You or the estate agent showing new buyers round can point out that a double bed easily fits still! Add a bedside table, storage such as a small wardrobe is best to show off instead of bed size. In fact, house builders quite often buy small furniture to put in the show houses that make the rooms look larger! I agree it's a small double, but it's a really big single! So make it look as spacious as possible! You can also combine the bed and storage buy putting a cabin bed under the eaves!
