Very small master bedroom
Hi,
I am starting to plan the renovation of the master bedroom, however it’s very small and I am struggling for space.
At at the moment the bed is against the window With the headboard frame higher than the window cill. We will be replacing the bedframe for a more compact frame which hopefully will create some space. However if the bed was To stay in this location i would want the headboard the same height as the window cill but I am limited on options From research so far.
The other her option is to have no headboard or to move the bed. I could move the bed to the left hand side of the wall so we could have a feature headboard, however it will still be tight at the end of the bed to get past.
We we still have wardrobes to install yet and a vanity if possible. can anyone help with any space saving tips for such a small room.
The only positive we have have is that we have very high ceilings so we have lots of height if this could be utilized in any way.

Comments (43)You may want to reconsider keeping curtains as well as the shutters, as they don't keep out all the light, particularly as you said the room is bright & south facing. Especially in the summertime when it gets lighter so much earlier. From someone who's been awake since 5am because of this problem! Note to self: must get round to choosing curtains! Also, F&B cornforth white is very pale. We've used it on the interior of our windows, but I think it would be a little boring if we used it on the walls, too close to white, especially in a room as bright as yours. A friend with very good taste recommended Little Greene's French Greys. It's a lovely warm grey & there are several different tones. Don't be scared of even the darkest one as even that isn't too strong on the walls! Our master bedroom used to be at the south facing front of a 30's house too, but after rebuilding we're now at the back of the house. Although I love looking out over the garden, I do miss that glorious sunshine you get! (Although not at 5 in the morning!). Have fun deciding, and remember you can always repaint if you really hate anything!...See MoreMaster bedroom - help please!
Comments (10)Ok, this is a great space so easy to fix. People might give you specific advice but really it depends on your taste. There are 3 important things you are lacking that will fix your room - zoning, texture and lighting. zoning - if you can walk into a room and read it immediately it translate as boring. To fix this you need to draw the eye around the room. You can use furniture, art, points of interest to do this. Perhaps a cool chair outside the bathroom door or a chaise lounge. Perhaps a big banana plant or fiddle fig between your windows. Perhaps a huge piece of art above the bed. Perhaps some cool wallpaper art there (check out Curious Egg). A reading nook? How about filling that massive space between the end of your bed and wardrobes? You could put a huge pouffe, love seat or ottoman on a rug there so it looks a bit like a dressing room area with seating. Anthropologie do some great options. texture - you need a huge rug to go partially under your bed and soften the room. Try French connection home or la redoute for affordable options. Why not texturise the wall your bed is against. Do the whole wall or a textured headboard made of timber etc. Abigail ahern does some great, easy to assemble faux wall options. Again I would recommend plants. Not everyone likes these I need a bedroom but again Abigail ahern does some great fauxs. lighting - the room is very light and bright but at night it probably can look a bit stark or cold. I would definitely advocate some free standing lights. These should be near whatever zones you create. Certainly I would have some bedside lamps and maybe a taller freestanding lamp elsewhere. Rule of thumb in a room this size is at least 5 lamps or freestanding lighting units! finally, if you like neutrals and want to avoid colour, neutral colour through texture is a great solution. A beni oudain rug, a large sheepskin over the bottom of the bed, a large wicker chair. And of course, plants. good luck!...See MoreHelp! Small/oddly shaped master bedroom.
Comments (5)I would tend to use stud work walling with plywood faces as these would be strong enough to take the hanging fittings and you could then ceramic tile finish in the corridor. Seal in the cupboards where walls meet. Avoid plastering (as a novice) . Its down to getting the sealing and detail right, Ask a tiler to help with this part of the works so you can be sure of keeping the moisture out. Make sure you have the right fan and control it on a humidity sensor plus manual switching for boost etc. Mark Kennett...See MoreBest fitted storage configuration for small master bedroom
Comments (4)Thank you both for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately funds don't allow us to knock the understairs storage through and we also use that to its full capacity as it it. A project for the future perhaps! What we really need is hanging space and storage space that we can access everyday for our clothes. I do love the ideas of storage under the bed and wonder whether something like this in the third picture down would work? https://bloesem.blogs.com/bloesem/2013/04/studio-oink.html...See More
