Master bedroom - curtains and wallpaper

10 years ago

We just bought dark grey colour headboard and existing wallpaper is red. I don't think red wallpaper goes with this grey headboard.

Can you please suggest what colour wallpaper will look nice.
We want to have modern look.

Also what colour curtains will look good. Offwhite ?

Thanks,
Reena

I don't think you need to wallpaper over the stunning red wall. Work with it to build up the colour palette starting with crystal table lamps to mirror the crystal chandelier with drum shade. Add some side tables with modern, clean lines.

It looks great, I'm glad you and your daughter are so pleased and she has lots of room for friends over, playing etc. It can also be easily and cheaply adapted as she grows if she wants. My only criticism (if you can call it that) is that if not already your daughter may soon also want the desk to double up as a dressing table and therefore I think a mirror was a good idea but the memo board (which looks great) can always be moved as and when needed. (I thought i'd posted a comment on that previously but obviously not!). I might also add a desk light there for working during winter months. So which room next?!

great idea! Love wallpaper on single walls. However, I would probably go with one of the branch colours, such as the blue one only - to create harmony. Just my unprofessional opinion though! :)

Hello I am currently working on a similar project, here are few ideas: By adding paneling and mirrors with side tables and lamps, you will add height to your bedroom. I will be adding the sliding mirror doors on each side of the bed for my client, your door frames are currently very distinctive as the wallpaper is rather dark, it will be less visible with lighter colour on the wall, but I do agree taking of the frame altogether would solve the issue. Adding bench at the end of the bed gives a lovely finish, as seen in the picture. Hope this helps

Hi there, I have a Paint and Window-dressings dilemma. We have a black leather King Bed, a wall of black mirrored wardrobes and matching black mirrored dresser, from Joop. contemporary and bedding also contemporary. We have a full wall of windows which I need to choose curtains/blinds/? for and paint colour too. I like the idea of black/white/grey perhaps some colour but not walls of a bright colour, I'd like a more elegant feel. Love to hear any suggestions!

Chandler is from Costco for $70 I guess.
I like the first wall paper.

Now I guess we should repeat our main colors

The red works with your headboard. I'd keep it unless it really bothers you.

Why not lighten the mood with Sanderson's Dandelion wallpaper, which is a fifties inspired abstract floral and go for a lemon, teal and grey geometric pattern for your curtain fabric..

There is too much vagueness in your request. Everyone will have significantly differing tastes & interpretations of 'modern'. Do you want industrial modern, chic modern, bohemian modern, urban modern, the latest trends in modern..... etc Each of these variations on modern can go in so many different directions. There are already several great details to work with in this room you just need to pull it together in a direction that compliments your style & taste & more information is needed to help you pull it together into any solid direction. The red & grey go fabulously together but if you don't like the red it will always bother you. The grey & yellow combo is very popular right now & likely be more relaxing in a bedroom, but red is more passionate (known for getting your heart rate up). Lavender & grey are nice but leans feminine, dominating the bedroom in a feminine tone would depend on your relationship & what kind of balance you seek in the bedroom... A lot goes in to great design.... What's your style?

What has happened is that the tone of the ruby red is deep and so is the grey headboard, which has the effect of cancelling each other out...it will be much easier to change the wall to a light, vibrant counterpoint to the headboard than to change the headboard, but it is worth bearing in mind how colours and tones work with each other for future purchases...by identifying if some thing is bright, deep or pale, warm cool or neutral we can then choose to accent from another group...rather than ending up with two darks, two brights , two pastels, it just becomes self defeating..o.k....

Thansk a lot Ethos, i guess we never thought of design from such a deep way. We want to keep balance in the room, so its neither too feminine nor too boyish..

We want room to look intresting, modern and cozy at same time.
We love red colour too and planning to work with dark grey headboard.

Can you suggest what colours night table, chest and curtains should we get.
Do you think white or glass will look good.

Thanks,

Hi! Here are a few ideas for you:

I like the gray and red together but if it is bothering you, change it out now.

Nice headboard though. I am shopping around for one now. Where did you get it from?

Something like the wood tiled nightstand that chemayne posted above would go beautifully and soften the mix a bit contributing to the cozy feel you are after. What I like about that suggestion is the clean lines, the incorporation of black metal legs & drawer pull & warm grey tones on the drawer face, not only does this blend help soften/cozy the look but it introduces a subtle variation in color without going overboard thereby keeping the clean modern look you are after without it being overly masculine or feminine. On the red wall utilize art work that has white, soft grey & splash (emphasize splash - don't go overboard, barely noticeable is ideal) of red to pull it all together. It can be simple, abstract, etc - the possibilities are endless, but, again, this will help pull the colors together so it doesn't feel so cold (the heavy color blocking contributes to a sense of personal detachment: aka: not cozy) a softer hue of gray will connect, soften and cozy up the room - to keep it modern don't go too crazy with the colors - either stick with the scheme you have now or go with whichever, but a key element with modern, regardless the variation, is simplicity.

I would use some type of shades in light gray or white for privacy and light control and hang long panels on either side of the windows in a plain medium gray silk. The long panels will soften your room. Use a large diameter dark wood rod to hang the panels from. Add a beautiful piece of art over your headboard and enjoy your new space!
