New bedroom - interior design advice needed

6 years ago

Hi. I have just updated our bedroom with light grey walls and white skirting/ceiling. Ceiling has original ceiling rose too. It is a small bedroom and we need lots of storage so have the following items all in same shade of white: bed, wardrobe, bedside tables x2, chest of drawers. Have added navy curtains but room still feels cold. How can we make it feel warmer/add some colour?

Do you have any pictures of styles you like that can be pared back in terms of scale? I would make the bed the feature of the room. Invest in an upholstered headboard, either something with a little height and maybe buttoned or an interesting shape. Add cushions and a throw in different textures (and maybe a simple pattern!). I think you also need to get matching bedsides as the difference in height throws the room out. I'd change the hinges and handles on the wardrobe and repaint. Curtains may also help to make the room look cosy, even a single drape on each window pulled back? Paint the room in a creamy shade and add your prefferred accent colours.

You've one a lovely job and losing the canopy to highlight the feature wall was a good move. I wouldn't add too much now but perhaps you could highlight the angle on the wall with a bit of decoration (see below - but not suggesting plants, perhaps three small framed photos? Or pictures she likes? White frames would be nice). Maybe another cushion, geometric with some grey in to tie in with the wall. And a rug (sheepskin? Faux fur?) For texture and something cosy as she gets out of bed

Hear are some thoughts- I see there are cases on the wardrobe. make use of them for storage- put items such as linen, extra pillows and off season clothes in them, or anything else that needs storing! A thought could be to place some stick on hooks onto the side of the wardrobe to take towels, and seasonal jackets, to keep items being thrown over desk chair or draws. If you can find them in black then the hooks won't look so temporary and will tie into the suggestions below. A perfect place for a framed map would be over the bed, either a single large one or multiple smaller frames. Frames could be wood or a simple black frame. You can use stick on hooks these days to avoid wall damage. Taller bedside lamps, i know there are the sconces but they seem a bit high to be useful as bedsides. You could go with a dark anglepoise style - a little industrial to tie in with the metal beam. Bedding - invest in a more appropriate size doona. If the bed is a double, you could go queen or even king size for the doona to drape well down the sides and properly cover the bed. If nothing else this will shift the feeling from a student room! Doona cover - a simple one colour but textured cover would keep the scheme simple - cotton is the flavor of the moment. A dark charcoal, darker silver gray? My male other half can never see the point of additional pillows but I'm sorry, a couple of dress pillows does help to fill out a bed, even though they are moved for sleeping! And a bedhead. You can buy a simple one without buying a full bed frame. It looks like you have additional space on one side - the left as you face the bed head wall. If possible i would see if the chest of draws fit in this space to free up the other side from clutter. If it doesn't fit it might worth considering a taller, narrower set - if so, look for the same wood color and style. Alternatively the desk might work in that position, and the drawers could move to the desk location. Actually, the more I think on it , the desk there would keep the desk area from feeling tucked into the corner. Keep the drawer top clear of things- a leather box on top can be the go to place for things like phone, wallet, watch etc. And keep tidy!
