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

Sorry just realised the picture didn’t load!

I read an article only last week regarding cleaning floor tiles with ridges. The tip was only to wipe in the same direction of the ridge therefore preventing the dirt getting lodged against the ridge. Wiping in the same direction should push any dirt to one end which you can then collect.

I would also leave them bare - depending on privacy. These are ours. We have fairly sheer blinds (put in by previous owner when they had the house extended and bifolds fitted). We occasionally use them to shade the TV. We are having more bifolds put into a further extension and no plans (or budget) to dress them at the moment. Will see what glare and things are like in time.
