That's a big dressing room and a small ensuite. I'd prefer a bigger ensuite personally.

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

I think you could have got away with it although lovely to use it for your room! I think (!) you have just about enough room for curtains as there won't be much material to stack back although you may need to use end caps rather than finials on the eaves side. My only worry Is that it could make the wall seem shorter but try it with sheets first as I do like the look as per my first pic and would have the same layout with bed where it is and move your chests under the window. I like the other pelmet but it doesn't allow the blinds to show unless you block light so might remove it. I mistakenly thought you had the grape version of the fabric so might look at a grey velvet bed or even a green one or I do like the rattan ones. The one pictured is from the French bedroom company. I managed to get one for my spare room in it's raw state off eBay for £270 and then I painted it myself. If you could store the laundry elsewhere this was my idea for a leaner mirror opposite the window but with a low upholstered bench/settle in front. The dressing table looks as if it was made to measure and good for storage? I might paint it a lighter shade, change the mirror for something a little more delicate and add a stool

I’d compromise by ditching the bath - use that space for more clothes storage. The bath is not something that is that useful - and it prevents the use of electric sockets within a 3m radius of it - so person who sleeps the ‘bath’ side of the bed couldn’t charge their phone next to them at night. Also I’d add more storage on opposite side of room to where bath was too.

I think it would help people here if you can say what kind of style(s) you like, to better advise you. Are these photos of a house you have yet to move in to, or is this your bedroom currently? Also, the layout of the bedroom/dressing room/en-suite(?) is not quite clear from these pics. Maybe you can take some more?

I like this as it maximises the wall space for the storage, and a flow from one room to the other.

We had almost exactly the same layout in our last house. we made the ensuite 1800 mm long so we could get the bath along the left wall and a lovely walk in shower on the right wall. The loo and basin were then wall hung under the window. We have just done the same layout in the current house in a slightly smaller ensuite. In our old house we also had a similar dressing room. we put in a double door frame centrally in the adjoining wall but didnt add the doors. it meant we could have furniture on both sides of the room.

The ensuite will become an inner 'inner inner' room in Natalia's design. You should be fine if you have a smoke alarm in the dressing room linked to your mains with battery backup. Alternatively, you can lose the door to the dressing room. Natalia's option won't leave enough room for the seats to the window. By the time you've got your double bed in there, you'll probs have around 1m on either side of the bed to get in and out of it. Albeit, I still like that arrangement. Do you still want to keep the window in the dressing room?

Good point. Thanks. Natural light will be nice but necessaily.
