You've got a good space and can do a lot with it - if it were me, I'd opt for a different colour, something lighter to contrast with the dark wood features and make the green decorative items pop!

So after much deliberation I decided to ditch any colour on the walls and keep it white. family opinions were that it looks larger white. I've switched some of my design from my other bedroom over and the room will now have an ivory carpet (being fitted today and never walked on again! Lol) and has a theme of black & white stripes with gold and yellow accents. Hopefully it will be striking enough for a white walled room. Once the bed is up this week I will post some photos!

Hi Claire, Do the doors actually open inwards into the room? How about considering place the bed in the center of the room facing the doors? You would disguise the back of the bed with a thin console table which have some dressing style storage (jewelry etc) and can hold some tall flowers and candles to set the mood on entering. There's lots of ways you can add the luxury feel you are looking but this would create real impact and make the bed the real feature of the space. If budget allows I would hang lights from the ceiling ad beside lights and layer up on dressing for an even more luxurious feel. I have attached one of my clients bedroom design (single room re-design package) to show you the hanging lighting idea - if this isn't possible then a well placed small chandelier style light would have a great effect on the space. I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing the finished room - it will look stunning I am sure! all the best, Gina

regarding guests above the main bedroom, I respectfully disagree; I think bedrooms should be kept private, certainly not joined to a guest's bedroom we do need dimensions to proceed though what if you fitted the office above and closed it off, perhaps with a retractable screen, so you wouldn't disturb the person sleeping. the downside is that you are combining work and relaxation into one area, so it's not the best solution. which means... if there's not enough space above, and I do doubt that there is, rather get a wall of closets in the bedroom, and change there. It would also save the inconvenience of stairs; think of times you forget items and have to go up and down repeatedly, times you're deciding what to pick out and need space to arrange clothing options, times you're packing closets, or exhausted after a long day out, the option of a mezzanine dressing room loses some appeal to me. Another option though, is to have closets in the bedroom for daily clothes of the season, and some above for other seasonal and occasional clothing
