Chandeliers in bedrooms

5 years ago

Hello,

Would this look weird in a bedroom? Going for elegant but not old fashioned vibe. Any thoughts welcome thank you!

It depends on your other furniture and accessories, but with the right combination I'm sure this lamp can look great in a bedroom.

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!

Hi again. So this is what I have done so far. Still seems that something is missing?!?? With 2 pictures either side and mirrored side tables it looks better. Mazur, I really like your idea and that was my original plan but then I realised that with my wall space it is hard to achieve as the wall is much bigger then the bed and there is a lot of empty wall after the bed. So I either need to frame the mirrors in together with headboard or have the mirrors as 2 separate pieces ( sort of like my pictures but bigger??? If I frame the whole thing in then what do I do with the rest of the wall? Any thoughts? Advise? Many thanks to all!

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!

The room is all mismatched, style wise, as you've noted! If you're planning to rent it, & be gone for a long period, do you really need to change the bed? If you are set on the industrial look, that type of bed works actually. So, maybe if it has to be bigger, just get the same style. The floor works, the wardrobe works, & the chosen lockers would too. The chandelier doesn't, so swap it for a cheap alternative. And some bedside lamps. If the bed is bigger, you'll need bigger bedlinen too, but if you're renting, they'll have their own. So, you only need a cover for staging the room for renters. Just buy a suitable duvet cover - the pretty floral doesn't work for industrial. Try something with mustard / yellow to add life to the grey. A throw & a couple of cushions, along with the bedside lamps, will help it to look more cosy. A long horizontal piece of art over the bed would make that wall less grim too. Or, you could try putting wallpaper behind & / or beside the bed - there are loads of types. Pick a stick on one that you can remove later. A white brick wall type of paper would work for industrial look, but be a lighter colour. Look at Wallpaper Direct for ideas. If no walls being touched, I know you've not much time, but could you even paint the ceiling white over the dressing table area? The room will look bigger and brighter. Right now, it seems to shrink to the size of the white ceiling area. However, the industrial loft look isn't universally appealing...! I agree that a renter might prefer a lighter, airier, relaxing fresh space. Try a linen type of headboard, not velvet. Velvet means plush etc, & your grey floorboards don't really complement that look. Linen can be crisp & clean & smart. If you're not moving from grey, pick a complementary colour - light grey, or a green - that you can match lighter bedlinen to. Or, again, a lovely wallpaper to tie in your grey banisters with new headboard colour. And paint the wardrobes to blend with the walls so they disappear. Pick lighter coloured lockers - a white table with drawer maybe. Or a floating shelf with drawer.

It’s hard to get a sense of size.

Thanks! It'll be about a 60cm drop in total (not the highest ceiling in there) and the light is about 33cm diameter. Thanks all
