Arts & Crafts Master Bedroom ideas
Hi there, we are just about to decorate our bedroom which is a quirky shape and has one wardrobe that slides (due to the restraints of the bed) and one that opens (both atrocious). It's a blank canvas apart from the fact that I've bought a roll of beautiful Nina Campbell fabric which I'd like to use for curtains. Any ideas, suggestions would be most welcome. I'm happy to start again furniture wise too. Celings are low hence the hideous wall lights! Thank you all in advance.

7 years agoHi. In terms of a blank canvas does this include the bed and carpet too so people can make shopping suggestions? What's the name of the fabric so we can see the scale of the pattern? It looks quite large so I might be tempted to cover the pelmets in it (and perhaps square off the 2 small ones) and have some cushions made up. I might go for for wider chests next to the bed that can sit under the windows as they don't need to be pushed up right next to the bed. I'd take down the lights and have wall lights. If you want a pendant you can add one hung lower than normal towards the end of the bed as a feature. I'd go for a collection of art prints over the bed, maybe 6, try Oka as they have quite a few sets of prints. I might add a tall floor standing mirror behind the laundry baskets, it will bounce light and should make the room feel taller. Is it in budget to change the wardrobe doors? I remember your daughters which were lovely!

Comments (10)Mirrored wardrobe doors create the illusion of space in a small room (we had some from the Ikea Pax range - or maybe they were called Vikedal?). It really depends what you like colour-wise, how dramatic you want to be, what other colours you have in the house etc. but a suggestion would be to have a feature wall on the wall behind your bed - you can either do this with wallpaper and pick a colour out of it to paint the other walls or paint your walls neutral and paint the feature one a bolder colour. In our old bedroom we did two walls (the feature and the one opposite) a bolder colour than the rest and it worked well in my opinion. We had Egyptian cotton in our living room so if we do happen to have similar taste we did our bedroom in green tea (also Dulux, now discontinued but if you go to a Dulux decorator centre they'd be able to mix it for you). TVs mounted to the wall are like Marmite but as a suggestion this could save you some space and you could lose the drawers the TV is currently on. I don't know if you currently have underbed storage but if not this could be somewhere to put your belongings from the chest of drawers and the ones your TV is on. Have fun!...See MoreMaster Bedroom - I do not know where to start?!
Comments (12)Hi Claire. How much wardrobe space do you actually need? If you built in front of the ensuite with a faux door that would give you c7ft. I've found a pic showing what that would look like with the corridor. You could always add an extra freestanding wardrobe in the nursery or alternatively have wardrobes opposite the bed and obviously stop them c4ft short of the window. I think the bed could go on either long wall TBH and assuming you want a dressing table then have that opposite with a chair in the corner. I love shagreen ATM so would have a shagreen feature wall, this is by Osborne and little (2nd pic) and also comes in grey shades but there are a number around. Colour scheme I'd go for grey, mustard and linen shades with some black and brass for accessories. The dressing table (console) is by Shropshire design and I'd add a cube footstool to this. I think a wood floor looks good for a boudoir look, these 2 are vinyl planks by amtico and the dark colour would look great against brass. Lampshade is by Oka and chair by rowan and wren. Perhaps just pile up some pillows on the bed and add mustard velvet cushions with a draped faux fur throw. I'd add black framed art behind the bedside lamps and a tall potted plant by the doors would also look good. I'd probably just go for Roman blinds for the door and windows, you may be able to squeeze dress curtains with hold backs in too but looks as if they would slightly cover the radiators?...See MoreIdeas needed for my Master Bedroom
Comments (14)What a pretty room! How ornate do you want to go? How about a dado rail and panelling (look up "faux wainscoting" for a budget friendly DIY solution) in the same colour as the door frames and skirting, to go really old school and elegant? That sort of look suits a statement armchair perched in a corner. As others have said, that floral wallpaper/fabric is great in a bedroom (I think). In an adult bedroom, I'd go a bit nuts with this stuff, frankly. Easy enough to change if you decide to tone it down a bit. If you do it above some classic panelling, it would ameliorate the look. Otherwise, perhaps cool rustic luxury. Matt black lamps, brass, white marble, a stripped brick internal wall (messy but cheap to do). By the way, I am exactly in the same boat as you. We are just finishing the renovation of a Victorian house, and our master suite is the bit that needs to be finished. If it helps, I am genuinely torn between the two looks below. My wife prefers option one - she is a US east coaster, used to funky lofts and DC/NY chic. I like option two - I'm British and grew up with friends whose parents had rambling period country houses full of clutter and slightly bonkers decor, with the odd Spaniel ambling around. Option one: go cool. Option two: go big....See MoreWIN products from our Houzz of 2018 Master Bedroom Suite! NOW CLOSED

7 years agoThe fabric is beautiful. I do wonder if it is a Little large for blinds as the pattern might be lost? Do try holding it against the pelmet though. I also quite like the beading added to this blind. Just a thought but you could use the fabric on a bed assuming it's suitable. eBay often have the French ones below which need recovering or else use it on a chair and cushions combined with the pelmets so you can see the whole pattern. I'd go for a pale warm greige for the walls with a carpet either a shade or 2 lighter or darker. If you don't like the idea of upholstering a bed then I'd go for a velvet in the grape colour. There are a few places online where you can choose your fabric. I quite like the idea of limed oak chest of drawers, these are from Annabeau.co.uk and can be made to measure and seem quite reasonable. Weirdly they're similar to the one in the pic from Oka which I found re the art!

7 years agoI think you could have got away with it although lovely to use it for your room! I think (!) you have just about enough room for curtains as there won't be much material to stack back although you may need to use end caps rather than finials on the eaves side. My only worry Is that it could make the wall seem shorter but try it with sheets first as I do like the look as per my first pic and would have the same layout with bed where it is and move your chests under the window. I like the other pelmet but it doesn't allow the blinds to show unless you block light so might remove it. I mistakenly thought you had the grape version of the fabric so might look at a grey velvet bed or even a green one or I do like the rattan ones. The one pictured is from the French bedroom company. I managed to get one for my spare room in it's raw state off eBay for £270 and then I painted it myself. If you could store the laundry elsewhere this was my idea for a leaner mirror opposite the window but with a low upholstered bench/settle in front. The dressing table looks as if it was made to measure and good for storage? I might paint it a lighter shade, change the mirror for something a little more delicate and add a stool
