Decor ideas needed for a blank master bedroom with this bed set

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Hello Houzz folks, I am planning to completely the decor of our master bedroom. We are aiming for a rustic elegant look. This is the bedroom set we will be using in this room. We have 2 large windows that face North. Would love to get some ideas or suggestions about wall colors, decor, drapes, etc. Thanks!

From House Beautiful:

For a North facing room, "I'd use this light and ethereal lavender with a touch of pearl gray. Perfect for a bedroom. I see it with chalky white moldings — white is what makes color come alive — and chalky white furniture upholstered in deeper shades of lavender. Then add one really sharp green chair. That would be a knockout room." -Noel Jeffrey

It can be rustic or it can be elegant - choose one. In the Stone Age while in retailing school in NYC, we would get a hand chopped off if we used the term "elegant simplicity". I feel the same way about rustic and elegant. BTW, your bedroom set is not rustic.

Your room is very nice. But I think to fill that wall with art/photos, you're either going to have to have very large pieces or many of them. It's not possible to tell from the one view, but the first thing I thought when I saw your pic is that I would move the head of the bed over to that wall. I am assuming there is a window on the other side of the bed to match the one we see? If so, then that wall between them is much smaller for hanging art. It also might be possible to partially block the view of the dog crates if they are behind the bed when entering the room (or could they go on the wall the door is on, so they aren't so prominent from the door view?) Placing art above the dog crates is going to look odd and unfinished to me.

Could you post two or three pictures of bedrooms on Houzz that you might like for the room style....then we could suggest things that will achieve that looks.

I would suggest some abstract colorful artwork to add color, but as others have said, don't overdo it...it's a great space.

You said you wanted more mid-century, not so much straight glam. So who knows. Here are a couple of nightstand ideas for anyone else who may be looking. https://www.chairish.com/product/2634547/vintage-mid-century-night-stands-set-of-2 https://www.chairish.com/product/2067533/mid-century-bedside-tables-by-baker-furniture-a-pair Nice night table - just one available, for a mix & match. https://www.chairish.com/product/1819208/mid-century-side-table-glass-top-night-stand

I would try to talk you out of that bedroom set if it's not too late. My advice ... pick a theme, pick a color palette, and if you can't, get someone with decorating sense to help you before you spend money on things you will regret.

Well, in the photo of the bedroom set, something that ornate is tolerable because of the light colors of everything in the room. I would follow their lead and keep everything colored neutral nature colors--tan, brown, griege, etc. Use natural materials and wood for accents, like baskets for storage.

For starters, true elegance IMO is simple. And I for one understand what OP means by rustic elegance.

So: I love white, so I'd go with a creamy white on the walls. I have SW Creamy in a north facing room, and it's warm and soft. Another similar creamy white color, which gets enthusiastic reviews here, is BM Capitol White.

I'd get off white linen drapes and an off white rug, maybe with a subtle pattern. Basically various shades of whites with lots of texture.

Alternatively, go with a very dark blue wall color and off white drapes, rugs, etc.

are there any bedrooms that you like? If yes, can you identify their common elements?

Or post them here?

Another question: what of this set have you bought/are you planning to get? Everything? Personally, I would not buy the complete set, i.e. get different nightstands, for example.

Soft blues and dove grays would look great with the light furniture. We love Benjamin Moore Gray Owl or Moonshine for a soft gray wall color. See below for an inspiration photo. Good luck!

I am not usually a fan of gray but I think the colors and bedding that JudyG suggested would be stunning and elegant. I think the other light colors suggested would work very nicely as well. I can definitely see the paler colors and texture as nosoccermom suggested .I am not sure about the bold colors but then I am not always the best a visualizing. The last post above mine also has the muted grey green and that works nicely too.

Hello. It is smart furniture. I would advise you to make walls, a carpet and several pillows on a bed in one color, for example gently violet, for the bedroom it is good color, or choose color which is pleasant to you.
