Hello again all and sorry for the delay! i have now got a throw and started to extend my gallery over the corner. I grabbed an old chair and rug that were kicking about in my parents' garage and put them in the corner to give me some idea of what i want. actually, i kinda like the beat-up chair but i don't think the rug looks right. is it too small? Now i have the reddish throw (LOVE it... from the Avoca shop in Belfast - amazing place, if you are ever in Belfast do go!!) I am actually considering replacing my blind because i prefer red tones to the turquoise. Just not sure what I would get instead? Still need a fab lamp and more cushions but wisdom says wait for the January sales! I still think I need something more eyecatching on my vanity too... Considering a map above my bed but I don't know if it would compete with the gallery wall too much? have to say i do love the "hello" sign!

Hi - if you can afford to, I would definitely change the carpet for hard flooring as the carpet softens the look too much. Otherwise you could consider a large jute/sisal rug? The most striking difference would come from changing the headboard, though. Again I wouldn't go with a 'soft' look on this - in fact I think your room is screaming out for the repurposed wooden doors/floorboards/pallets look!! (there are many examples of such headboards on Houzz). If you are handy with DIY you could cut down the headboard & foot boards on your current bed and paint it, but make sure it's still structurally sound. I wouldn't lose the mirror yet - I think it might work with the worn wood/peeled painted wood look. I'd buy an industrial style light flex for the pendant light (black flex, metal end) & fit an industrial-style bulb. LHS wall is a little bright - consider darkening it and fitting wire boxes to the walls for shelving (I'd stick with the 'rule of 3' of these). Hopefully some lower cost ideas for you to finish off what is already a good start on your room transformation! Good luck.

We had a differing layout to you, but a similar dilemma. We put in a new doorway and a folding door between the master and adjoining bedroom (now used a huge dressing room) but retained the existing doors into each room. This means we could still sell as a 4 bed later if we wanted, but at the moment live as a 3. So we currently have master, through to dressing room, through to en-suite. (A happy outcome is that now that we don't sleep next to the ensuite, so we don't hear each other 'pee') ;). Another plus is one of us can get up, and go into the dressing room / ensuite to get showered and dressed, closing the folding door over. The other is left happily sleeping...

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
