What accessories to add to this bedroom?

Beautiful bedroom renovation in Bath. In the master bedroom we were tasked with creating fitted wardrobes to replace the freestanding wardrobes they had been using. We took great care to design doors that are in keeping with the elegant proportions of their Georgian home, with minimal detailing and fuss. But is something missing?

7 years agoI think maybe adding something with a wow factor would add interest, a larger light fitting, piece of art work above the bed, a smart upholstered chair. Maybe layering the bed with different textures using cushions and throws so soften the room.

I need some advice on which colours i can add to a bedroom with muave
Comments (1)Off white or pale grey could work. If you are looking for something darker then you could try charcoal or navy....See MoreBedroom accessories help!!
Comments (2)Hi. It's quite difficult to see the pics but I think you already have wallpaper behind the bed? I would just paint the chimney breast in a grey with a brown undertone to go with the walls. If you want to display photos I would use the ŵall by the door as you come in. I personally prefer a symmetrical layout with pics of equal size but obviously you may prefer a gallery style ŵall! I do think you need some more furniture :( a dressing table or console table would look great in that alcove with an upholstered bedroom chair, choose a fabric with a pattern for the seat. Maybe a vase of faux flowers on the dressing table and a table lamp? Perhaps a mirror over the fire, something in a roundish shape with a warm metallic frame. The bed needs cushions and throws to soften it up. As the room is neutral what are your favourite colours? The wallpaper may also stand out more if you used plain linen. There doesn't look as if there's room for bedside tables but maybe add shelves or scones so you can bedside lamps?...See MoreLooking to add internal wall in bedroom - looking for advice
Comments (49)Thanks for all the ideas! Just to clarify I have blinds on the window but even with the blinds turned I feel like I'm not getting much privacy, hence the idea of having a wall or something else. Just like to have privacy without having to close the blinds. I also currently have a chest of draws opposite the wardrobe, just a cheap one from IKEA which gives me extra storage but I'm not crazy about it. After mocking up the back to back in 3D in floorplanner I think it's not the best option as it would reduce the amount of floor space and block a lot of light compared to having a long run against the wall. I like OnePlan's idea, I actually thought about that before but went off it as it wold feel more like walking into a wardrobe instead of a bedroom, plus I couldn't find any sliding doors that looked good from both sides and in budget. While I like the idea of wardrobes either side, I would only have about 1-1.5 meters on the left side, which might look a bit odd. I did try it with my current wardrobes and it made the room very dark but if I used white wardrobes it might look better. As you can tell I've been thinking about this for a while and I've gone through a lot of ideas. My main concern was with people's reaction to dividing the room and walking into the wardrobe first but I'm encouraged with the comments on here about that. The other concern is budget. I don't want to spend a crazy amount on it but I do want it finished nice. Thanks for all the ideas and comments :)...See MoreAdd a bedroom and new kitchen/dining
Comments (8)Hi Kollol, Yes - it's not as straightforward as that seems to suggest. This is why planning can seem such a minefield because sometimes it is subject to quite a lot of interpretation of the law. Best to refer to the full legislation as well as the amendments linked to via that planning portal guidance, because that's a bit misleading: The Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development, Advertisement and Compensation Amendments) (England) Regulations 2019 PARAGRAPH 3 OF EXPLANATORY NOTE Regulation 4 makes permanent the existing temporary right to enlarge a dwellinghouse by up to 8 metres in the case of a detached dwellinghouse or by 6 metres in the case of any other dwellinghouse, as permitted by Class A of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Order. It removes the time limiting date of 30th May 2019, as well as conditions which required development to be completed by that date. CLARIFICATION So this means that, as you understood, there is a right to enlarge a detached house by up to 8 meters and this no longer has a time limit... but you then need to refer to the original legislation - where it tells you that you have to apply for approval for this because it is subject to consultation with neighbours. Also take into account the 50% area limit. Then you need to look at the original legislation which the above is an amendment of (this is why planning law is so complex - because there are layers of amendments and original legislation that you need to go through to dig out what you can and can't do - and there are often contradictory clauses which you can then use to justify things that you really want to do but may seem on the face of it to be impossible. This is where it is worth going deep into legislation if you're looking to do something that might be controversial or simply opposed by the planners. Often you can argue for what you want - but it takes a thorough knowledge of the planning landscape to do this well. It also costs more to get someone to do the work for you who is going to have to do this - your average plan drawer won't do this, they'll just do what they know they can easily get approval for. ORIGINAL LEGISLATION http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/596/pdfs/uksi_20150596_en.pdf refer to schedule 2, permitted development rights, and to part 1 - development within the curtilage of a dwelling house. Here is the relevant section to this conversation: A.4—(1) The following conditions apply to development permitted by Class A which exceeds the limits in paragraph A.1(f) but is allowed by paragraph A.1(g). (2) Before beginning the development the developer must provide the following information to the local planning authority— (a) a written description of the proposed development including— (i) how far the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse extends beyond the rear wall of the original dwellinghouse; (ii) the maximum height of the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse; and (iii) the height of the eaves of the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse; (b) a plan indicating the site and showing the proposed development; (c) the addresses of any adjoining premises; (d) the developer’s contact address; and 18 (e) the developer’s email address if the developer is content to receive communications electronically. (3) The local planning authority may refuse an application where, in the opinion of the authority— (a) the proposed development does not comply with, or (b) the developer has provided insufficient information to enable the authority to establish whether the proposed development complies with, the conditions, limitations or restrictions applicable to development permitted by Class A which exceeds the limits in paragraph A.1(f) but is allowed by paragraph A.1(g). CLARIFICATION What this basically means is that you can build up to 4 meters depth to a maximum height of 4 meters to the rear of a detached house with no planning application at all (as long as it complies with all the other limitations), but if you want to extend further back than this you do have to apply for planning permission to extend the development rights by the extra amount - so up to 8 meters for a detached dwelling. This is called extended permitted development. SUMMARY The permitted development is 4 meters for detached and 3 meters for any other house. The extended permitted development, for which you are required to submit a planning application, allows you to extend up to 8 meters for detached and 6 meters for any other house, but they will be checking that it complies with all the other elements, such as the 50% rule, etc therefore it is not guaranteed that you will be allowed to do this, and they will take into account impact on neighbours and the neighbours will be consulted so if they object it can also affect your ability to do this. Does this help?!! :) I hope so. Jane, iarchitect limited...See More- PRO
