Main bedroom dilemma: Bedroom layout, walk in wardrobe(?)
Comments (9)Just a thought, what about putting the bed against the wall of the walk in wardrobe and you can still have your headboard, no need to change or move a radiator and the wife's side of the bed would be next to the wardrobe entrance. It's all a bit cramped by the looks of things and while you'll have your ensuite and your walkin wardrobe you'll still be walking into a box room. Another thought I had to to lose the bedside cabinets and increase the appearance of space would be in to have the bed side lights on the partition wall and the storage built into the stud wall with pull out shelves for those breakfast in bed moments and cups of tea. Change the door to open onto your landing as well!!! Good luck...See MoreWhat colour should I do the three remaining walls of my bedroom?
Comments (18)Hi Kathryn I have a range of 200 colours that we can choose from and you can test without having to buy test pots. If you are near enough I could bring them over - I'm based in Cambridgeshire and travel throughout the county and adjoining counties. Let me know if you are in my patch and we can organise a visit....See MoreHelp do we extend small ensuite into bedroom
Comments (7)This bathroom was of a similar size to yours Instead of using a fixed screen you could use the one on hinges. As we did for this bathroom. We used a shower screen that is on a clever hinge system so that the user can ‘close’ the screen when not using the shower area. This helps to create a spacious and versatile bathroom. This way your towels and floor would stay dry and when not using the shower you could 'close' the screen giving the bathroom an illusion of extra space. You could get a slim line heated towel rail so knees don't knock against it. Hope this helps! Shannon...See MoreWhat would you do with this bedroom?
Comments (10)Hi Ceri, I will agree there is too much blue in this space, Although those chest of drawers and the bed still look in good condition and has potential to be reused in the space. The inclusion of a shaker-style wardrobe seems like a lovely idea as well. I liked the color of the walls, would suggest going with the same color as the other walls for the shaker cabinet to not let it stand out. For the wall behind the bed, a deeper blue ( if it has to be blue) will go well with the dark wood furniture. I would definitely introduce a complimentary color into the space. A mustard yellow or a dusty pink shade would go really well in the space. I would also suggest planning the space out since you are taking out the mirrored sliding doors, you would want to find a place you could hang a full-length mirror? Maybe the TV Unit could be wall mounted. You'd also want to think about the artworks hanging in the space, they seem out of proportion. The chair in the corner looks a bit too crammed on there. You probably only want a bedside table? Since you're doing the Ceiling, I would suggest having the ceiling design with an inbuilt curtain track for a sheer and solid curtain. It looks much smarter and modern. Also makes the room visually taller with the floor-to-ceiling curtains You might also want to increase the no of ceiling lights and change the pendant light. Since you're also planning to change the flooring, I would suggest going for a grey ish oak flooring and not a natural oak one to pair it well with the dark furniture And the Last suggestion, I would have painted the inbuilt cupboard, side of the doors the same colour as the walls. as it stands out a lot . I would also paint the interior of the doors atleast same as the room colour or something darker ( like two tones darker than the existing wall colour or a grey ish ) as the stark white doors stand out a bit too much and will stand out with all teh dark furniture and moody vibe in the space. Hope this was helpful. Good luck with the decoration :D go really well....See More

10 years agoThe simple and inexpensive thing to do would be to paint the wall behind the bed an accent color.... You could promise the landlord that you would return it to the original color when you leave???? OR, if that isn't an option here is another idea using a beautiful folding screen

10 years agoI suggested this 3-mirror solution to a similar dilemma here at Houzz and it looked great in her room. Do it in the black to match the mirror. I attached her after pic for you.
