Ideas needed for my Master Bedroom
Hello,
Can I ask for your help... again.... please? It's the last bedroom to be finished in my mammoth project and I have used up all my ideas on the other rooms...I could really do with some ideas as I have a blank space and it's going to stay that way if I'm left to it alone!
The walls are painted in Little Greene French Greys. Wardrobes not painted yet. All I have is a divan bed base with no headboard at the moment, so need advice on, well... everything really.
The bedroom is connected to a dressing room by pocket doors. You can't see the doors on the photos but they are Victorian reclaimed doors. One photo is taken looking towards where the bed will be, next to the door, which is an ensuite. The photo that shows the dressing room wardrobes square on is taken from the other end where the bed will be. Hope that makes sense!
Oh, I should mention that sadly I don't have a designer type budget. Think it could be a lovely room if I knew what to do with it... any ideas gratefully received!!!
Thank you!

Comments (7)Great work so far. I love the colour of the blue on the wall, the painting, and the chest of drawers. Are any of these pictures appealing? I'm thinking a bit of yellow would be nice to add or you can just add varying shades and textures of neutrals in the bedding, throws, and curtains or blinds. I've also included a couple with bronze as previously suggested....See MoreAny ideas for our lounge & master bedroom?!
Comments (13)Hi David. An exciting new project you have there! Here are my initial thoughts: Living room: I would lose the warm tones and pattern, as I think this is what is making it feel dated for you, and introduce some grey and white, with possibly a touch of petrol blue. Shutter style blinds may be nice for your windows - you can get well designed yet affordable slatted blinds that resemble shutters these days. Again, I would stick to white and keep it fresh. I would build in a chimney breast for your TV, and how about a modern style log burner? Prints work well on cushions, so if you did want to re-introduce some pattern into a more modern setting, I would mix geometric printed cushions with simple plain ones to break them up. There are lots out there at the moment. If you wanted to keep the oak floors, you could look into sanding them back and grey-washing for a modern feel or indeed keep them oak. Just by sanding them back they will begin to feel a bit more modern. Note - oak changes colour over time, so if in direct sunlight it will start to go a warmer colour. Bedroom: Remove arch if you can, which would open the space up quite a bit. Perhaps the curtains could go and you could go for a fabric roman blind instead - this would soften the windows a little, yet still feel modern. Plain white waffle bedlinen is always a good move, and if you like a pop of colour, layer it with a throw and blanket, as well as three - four cushions, stacked in front of the pillows. This could introduce a little colour for you. If you stick to cooler colours, you could keep the oak floor if you wanted to, as it may balance out nicely. Can't quite see your pendant light in the shots, but perhaps white origami style pendants and lamps with soft glows would be nice. Keep it fresh, yet soft as this is the room you want to relax in. Greys and tonal colours work well in bedrooms. Not sure if you were planning on keeping your furniture or not, the black could work well for a modern setting, but if you were, you could look at white or grey gloss styles as options. This will keep it looking clutter-free with streamlined pieces. Hope this helps a little. Fi...See MoreColour ideas for master bedroom
Comments (9)Hi I think F&B Borrowed Light is lovely for a bedroom (1st pic) for a light airy feel, or for more vivid colour Green Blue is fab (2nd pic). All depends on what feel you want the room to have and how much light you get, I see its dual aspect - which direction do those windows face?...See MoreMaster Bedroom Renovation Ideas
Comments (14)Hello I am currently working on a similar project, here are few ideas: By adding paneling and mirrors with side tables and lamps, you will add height to your bedroom. I will be adding the sliding mirror doors on each side of the bed for my client, your door frames are currently very distinctive as the wallpaper is rather dark, it will be less visible with lighter colour on the wall, but I do agree taking of the frame altogether would solve the issue. Adding bench at the end of the bed gives a lovely finish, as seen in the picture. Hope this helps...See More

6 years agoWe would love to get in there and do a 3/4 high beaded wall paneling to really set the grandeur of the room off. The height would be like what we just installed on 60min makeover few weeks back (see pic) That was shaker style but we would give it a bead that matches the styles in your home .
Let us know if we can get involved and help you out .

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoWhat 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.
