Basement bedroom decor help urgently needed please!
We're moving out of our light, first floor bedroom with two big windows into our basement bedroom soon to accommodate family and I would appreciate some advice on colours/design ideas as the room is quite dark. We've got one window which is fairly high up that has a white venetian blind and I would like a floor length, thick curtain to go over it to keep in the warmth for winter.
The room faces north east!! I'm thinking possibly a paprika/grey scheme or a navy/teal plus mustard or ochre scheme? I don't mind keeping some of the walls white. We're definitely painting the black beams white and can easily paint the chest of drawers.
We can't
attach anything to the walls as we have a tanking system installed which
can't be punctured with nails! I've posted photos of the basement room
and of our bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers which need to stay. Thanks
so much everyone and excited to get some ideas! The room is approx 12 ft x 11ft.

Comments (3)Do you like it cozy modern ? Or just plain modern ?. The bedding looks great if your Into these colours I suggest trying to add more vibrant colors. Orange, gold, silver. You could try replacing the brown cabinet to a white table in the corner near your bed, add more metallic accessories and decor. I was thinking of putting some decor on top of your bed, how about this?. & if you wanted to make it more spacey I suggest putting a couple of mirrors. :) sorry for a lot of babbling though. xx...See MoreHelp with master bedroom decor please!
Comments (3)Taupe works well with the colours and a trefoils wallpaper (pale gold on creamy background) may look good as the lamps look slightly oriental. I don't know how big the room is but i'd consider wallpapering all of it and adding a taupe carpet. The ceilings are fairly high so hang curtain poles at the top to increase the sense of height (maybe taupe with a black border at the bottom). Add accessories in the 3 colours and maybe try a black velvet chair. Or alternatively a pale blue scheme should work....See MoreIdeas please for basement bedroom
Comments (4)I hope you don't mind me saying it looks like it is full of things not wanted elsewhere in the house. I think that you need to unify the look and make it look more expensive/luxurious. I would get a cornice put on the wardrobe and have them all levelled and attached to the wall. I would then paint the walls a warm colour that looks good in electric light such as a deep blue, a grey with brown in it, a coffee, amber, a warm pink or green. Then I would paint the ceiling and all the pine furniture the same soft white. I would then get full length nearly white curtains on a wide pole so that there is a lot of wall covered with curtains. White bedding with a coloured sheet underneath. Then you need a big fluffy rug, over sized bedside lights, a standard lamp with a white shade. Lastly pictures: for a luxurious look try to group several together and paint existing fames or buy new to match. Pale frames will seem framed by the deep wall colour and if a similar colour to the furniture will help unify the look. Lastly you should edit out what's not needed- the round table is lovely perhaps you should choose either this or the dressing table but I really don't think you need seating for four in this room so perhaps some of the chairs can go too....See MoreHelp with bedroom layout and decor
Comments (3)Can you post a layout , include where the window & door and also the radiator, which looks not to be under the window ( not helping ). Also, as you are keeping the furniture, could you include the sizes of those pieces too. I think Hague blue will look great, really restful in a bedroom too. Maybe you could change the handles on the furniture for slightly more old fashioned ones to tie in with the bed also....See More

7 years agoSorry I forgot pics... so the first looks the same height and I feel the white lowers it a little although cosy! Ignore what the room is but the second with a darker shade for the ceiling to me feels taller, there's no strong contrast with walls and ceiling which stops your eye from travelling

7 years agoThis is a room by Abigail aherne which is a bit taller but all done in the same colour. Actually if you look at some of her pics (despite a lot being Victorian so have tall ceilings anyway) you will see a lot of ceilings painted in the same colour or a few shades lighter
