Love the calm feeling of this room. Could you tell me where you got the long stool at the end of the bed from?

Hi, I would suggest asking a seamstress or interiors shop to make slip covers for the headboard and the foot board. If you have side rails and don't need to see through them mabe covers could be made for them which velcro on. If you don't own the bed or don't mind telling the NHS that you didn't know, you could paint the head & foot boards. Also you could have a valance made of extra length that could velcro onto the bottom off the bed frame. If you rise and fall the bed when the bed is risen they could fall to floor length and when the bed is lowered it would hang like and extra long curtain by a window. Probably the best advice would be to find an interior design shop that gives free advice - most of them do, and ask them how to design your room and the bed so that it doesn't seem intrusive. The beds are quite dominant in a room but all is not lost. Covers, valences, throws and bedlinen can change the appearance. There are other options other than the NHS supplied bed which are very nice and look like any other bed and don't scream out what they are. If you could purchase the bed base and mechanism (or apply for charitable funding) you could locate it in the frame of a non-disability bed. To my mind this looks foxy and just like a typical bed. See the links (the last link shows a disability bed in an interior designed room): http://www.independentliving.co.uk/il-editorials/case-study-rotoflex-adjustable-bed/ http://www.independentliving.co.uk/il-editorials/adjustable-beds/ http://www.independentliving.co.uk/ http://www.livingmadeeasy.org.uk/bedroom/made-to-measure-beds-p/rotoflex-turning-bed-system-0040644-695-information.htm http://www.abberley-adjustable-beds.co.uk/luxuryadjustablebedsuk.html I googled 'designer disability beds' You may have to play around on searches - after using that phrase I looked at the page of images - I clicked through one or two that seemed interesting and that led me to Pintrest where folk are pinning good products onto boards and these products have web links. I hope this helps. Also, I sincerely mean it when I tell you "Well done." Living with a disability isn't easy whether it be physically, mentally or emotionally. It can be draining. Keep going, and have fun researching the bed. Once I was on Pintrest there were images of rooms eg kitchen which looked so amazing they put ideas on Houzz to shame! ;-) So who knows, maybe it will be the bed first and the next thing you know you are desiging your bedroom and who knows what else may then take your fancy! ;-P

Still with blanket and a throw I don't gagne much. But thanks. Shame I have to settle for the shorter one. The proportions in the long ones much nicer.

I would suggest you dig a trench footing 300mm in depth or spade depth and width. Then fill with cement ballast and level. Wait for the concrete to go off then start installing the blockwork to finish height. Line the base of the internal raised beds with pea shingle to aid drainage. I would not use a membrane on the internal walls of the raised bed or else you will be creating a tanking effect. Fill beds with 50% soil and 50 % gravel to aid drainage. Most plants will put up with this soil mix and drainage. I would face the external beds in either a tile cladding or timber fixed horizontally as in your image excerpt. Look forward to hearing reading what planting scheme your looking at.

I thought you might be taking a punt on a “green” country! It will be great, bet you can’t wait, just need a change in weather! Well it sounds like a great place and location and very positive re the one down the road. Have you had a nose at it?! can your desk be used as a dressing table? If so, I’d add a mirror and maybe a drum stool. Maybe some velvet curtains, not sure if these are quite long enough? A jute rug for some texture, maybe just under one bed foot. I’d also dress the bed to make it more inviting. I have a few bouquets from Shida, they’re preserved so last for up to a year (although one of mine is older than that!), ideal for letting too, just need a blast from a hairdryer every now and again. What kind of budget do you have for the bedrooms and can look at lamps etc? One of my bug bears is not being able to dry your hair in front of a mirror (it’s amazing how many hotels etc do not consider doing makeup and hair properly!) and also lack of a full length mirror somewhere in the house. Make sure there’s easy access or extending leads for charging too!
