Decor Ideas needed- design around new metal loft bed
Comments (22)Hey, what is wrong with a Cheetos bag, especially from the perspective of a high schooler? LOL I think I would move the bed unit to the wall that the door is on. That way when you look into the room it isn't the first thing that you see, so that it overwhelms the space. Also, I think the wall it is on currently could be put to better use. Be sure you mount some kind of shelf up on the wall by the bed, so that he can put an alarm clock up there. You will want to mount a swing-arm lamp up on the wall so that he can read in bed and not have to get down to turn off lights. Have a comforter, not a bedspread, for ease of making the bed. This bedding from Penney's might be perfect: stan comforter I would get a drafting table or something along those lines, and put that in the corner where the windows all meet. That will give him great light for working on schoolwork and puzzles. Then the two seating pieces can be down that wall and into the opposite corner a bit near the closet door. Maybe a inexpensive small plastic or RTA table between the two seating pieces. I would do the orange as a stripe that runs around the room, as wide and at the same level as the space between the bottom of the bunk and the back support brace on the bed unit (about desk height. That should put it just above about 30 inches at the bottom, so just above chair rail height. Behind the desk in that area, instead of just an orange stripe, make it orange-painted corkboard or bulletin boards so that he has a place to hang stuff related to school and other reminders, a calendar, etc. I would look for other ways to bring in the orange, like painting the fam blades, a couple of throw pillows in a wild print that includes the blues and oranges, orange frames on artwork or photos. You could also consider adding orange stitching lines to your denim walls, done every so many inches to mimic the stitching on denim jeans. Oh, and I don't think a 14x14 room is small at all. Our younger son had a similar unit in his room when younger, and that space was 10.5x11 with 8 ft. ceilings. Didn't overwhelm that room at all. More room than two people have in the typical college dorm room, too. Looks like you have had fun and done a great job on the walls!...See MorePlease help me decorate upstairs loft game room!
Comments (6)Not sure you would be open to it, but carpet, rather than wood, will help absorb some of the noise from the area. I would try to incorporate your husband's sports decor. It will mean a lot to him, and your son may enjoy it, too. The space can remain a "cave" yet, as it's not very visible from your main living area. How old is your son? I'd get him involved in choosing the decor. It will make a difference in how he "owns" the room and takes care of it....See MoreHelp with loft decorating
Comments (17)Teens (assuming she is or will be one) usually prefer slouching to study, and I think a small sofa, loveseat or chaise would be a better choice there. The rug is too small, so ditch that. Don't bother with the glass doors on the bookcase. She won't tend to reach for a book if she has to keep her fingerprints off of the glass or bother to open and close them....See MoreHelp with decor- loft with existing chandelier
Comments (6)WOW that is huge even in that space IMO do not let that drive the rest of the decor a huge dining table and please no benches at any dining table ever no woman in a dress will never choose to sit on a bench. I would do a 72" for sure for the table and then if there are colors in the light then those colors for chairs I would look at some really nice wood for a table with a pedestal base and then those colorful chairs Really the light is too big for that tiny kitchen so you wll need to make that space have some real presence to balance the dining space ....See MoreAmoeba-meba
