Please can anyone help with a Design Plan for our Bedroom?
Hi.
We've recently done some renovations, one of which is a reconfiguration of our master bedroom. The room itself is a newly extended flat roof dormer, we did it so we could add another bedroom and fit in an ensuite for ourselves. The ensuite is now slightly deeper than what the drawing suggests, so the bedroom dimensions are 4600cm x 3850cm. But by increasing the size of the ensuite we've created a narrow entrance, which is now causing problems as I don't know how to configure the room. The only thing we have bought (due to arrive in a month) is a new grey superkingsize ottoman bed with headboard. We choose the ottoman bed as we have lost the eaves storage that used to be in there, hence being able to extend it.
I seriously need help on where to place the bed (was going to move to the other wall), what colour carpet/curtains, what colour walls, what furniture to buy??? The rest of the house is quite contemporary (in that most of the walls are painted white), but I do quite like the idea of a cosy 'boudoir' feel, without going too over the top. If we can fit wardrobes in the room, great! If not, we are contemplating turning my daughters nursery into a dressing room, however that is down the hallway and there is a loft hatch in the room at the moment.
Please, please, any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I really do not know where to start.
Thanks
Claire

How can we improve our bedroom
Comments (40)Hi, I suggest you move the mirrors up , at the level of the window because they are too low , with this you will create a hight of the room , the carpet it is a problem : 1: it keeps the dust in the house and 2: you can never have a clean room with it . I also suggest get some money put a wood floor and the radiator can be cut out , moved on the floor heating , then you can decide if you want or not to create a small place to sit at the window or the corner where your closet is a small table with a chair where you can rest and have also a make-up session . Move the curtains close to the level of the ceiling and try to find a fade coloured curtain that can create an accent in the room (just because you have a patter wall that does not mean everything in the house should have a patter as well) and i suggest a plant because it keeps the air clean even when you sleep . i can try to make you a design suggestion and see more of what i am writing you, but i will need some specific measurements of the room (height- distance from the wall to the window and to the corner and after to the door , i assume that is where the master-bedroom bath is .

Comments (4)Thanks I've chosen a wallpaper for behind the bed it's a grey shimmer colour. It's called Aquarius Dove Grey (see attached). I was planning to paint the walls in a warm grey colour like Dulux's just walnut. Bedding will be white with a mink throw and cushions to tie in with curtains I already have. They look brown photo but it's mink shimmer. I have a mink shaggy rug, and I've purchased some mirrored bed side cabinets. (See attached) I need to do a moodboard, as it's hard thinking if these colours will all blend together...See MoreFirst time homeowner... would really love help with bedroom design :)
Comments (2)Hi Shu. I think your colours work well. You can colour match F&B or just buy Dulux Dusted Moss 2 which is very similar and perhaps slightly nicer (I have cornforth btw!) I would also bring in a little white for the bed and a slightly darker grey to balance the mustard. Re layout, once the rad is moved (would try to blend the colour into the ŵall) perhaps centre the bed and move the chest down so you lose that little empty corner. It looks as if it won't be an issue with the door? I'm not so keen on the shelf idea, it looks a little claustrophobic and you may end up hitting your head all the time. I also think you have enough interest with the gallery ŵall. I can't quite see the duvet, are they magnolias? If so Oka do a little bunch of fake magnolia with something else in that would look nice on the chest or bedside. Perhaps a bigger table lamp or 2. As you've also got a wood floor I would just look at adding different textures for cushions, curtains etc...See More

7 years agoHi Claire,
Do the doors actually open inwards into the room?
How about considering place the bed in the center of the room facing the doors? You would disguise the back of the bed with a thin console table which have some dressing style storage (jewelry etc) and can hold some tall flowers and candles to set the mood on entering.
There's lots of ways you can add the luxury feel you are looking but this would create real impact and make the bed the real feature of the space. If budget allows I would hang lights from the ceiling ad beside lights and layer up on dressing for an even more luxurious feel.
I have attached one of my clients bedroom design (single room re-design package) to show you the hanging lighting idea - if this isn't possible then a well placed small chandelier style light would have a great effect on the space.
I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing the finished room - it will look stunning I am sure! all the best, Gina

7 years agoSome great ideas thank you. This is very similar to the bed we have bought, the colour and headboard are exact.
I had once thought of moving the bed to the centre of the room, facing outwards, a stud wall could've easily have been built, but we have sooooo much to do on the house I really just want to finish it asap. I really love the idea though (stayed in an amazing b&b once with that kind of floor plan, it was stunning). Also, bad planning on our part, the led light's were installed before we had really come up with a plan.
We did have a look at the possibility of putting built in wardrobes in front of the ensuite wall, but we were worried about the length of the very narrow entrance to the room. Extending another 6/700mm would be quite substantial, but we may have another look at doing this.
Thanks again.
