Windows in Master Bedroom-What Would You Do?
Comments (5)Long wall with three closely spaced windows on a that wall? In the US, north facing walls get no direct sunlight. That means any light coming in that side will basically be reflected light. Locating windows as you plan will make the room ends dark and dismal. Example: Our house has the longest living space wall on the north side of the house. There are three rooms on that side. A bedroom with two west facing windows and a north facing window. The center office with one north facing window. And the living room with two north facing windows about 6" apart and basically centered on the wall and four east facing windows side by side. At any time of the day, the darkest room---no inside light shades/curtains open---is the office. To work there requires a light. No lights are necessary in either of the other rooms until dark. But, the reason is the east and west facing windows. The north facing windows are noticeably darker....See MoreDark master bedroom and liked it?
Comments (25)Sheesharee...I'll post a couple of photo's....but you MUST remember we just JUST moved in and still have some construcion going on so it's not decorated and it's a mess! I'm just doing this to show wall finish. When it's really done I'll post pics that look pretty LOL The high chair is up here because we're trapped in the master suite while they finish the downstairs and the kitchen (I like to keep the puppy and DS away from saws and nail gus LOL...mostly to protect the contractors). Baskets of laundry and all the other mess goes as well! And the bedding is going to be in rich deep browns and gold (verses the white you see in the corner of this picture...I haven't unpacked the other stuff). Oh and that tv will be hung to hide the cable box. I do love the colors the artist did on our walls and can't wait to see it with the bronze silk drapes and the onyx finished (I have to back lite it and it gets a very small back splash of 3/4" to hide the seams against the walls of our headboard cabinet). The walls are actually in metalics, which are hard to photograph! So picture the pictures above with a gold glow LOL And the counter in the first pic is the back of our bed. It's missing it's doors (it's long term storage) but basically it allows me to put the bed in the bay window and was a great excuse to buy some onyx which I adore! Our master closet walls are a similar color, but without the leather texture. All of the cabinets in there are a rich walnut, so it's dark as well :) I've happily embraced the dark side!...See MoreDecor Ideas for Master bedroom with dark furniture and floor
Comments (16)Thalfmann...very pretty...we can change up the pillows to solids with one accent pillow in a pattern....love the idea of the deep peacock blue with ivory and black...walls look more tan toned than taupe....Let me find a rug with a bit more tan in it......See MoreHelp with wall decor for dark walls in Cottage master bedroom
Comments (2)I love that color, so cozy and organic. :) Your furniture is light, which helps the brightness factor ... I’d just look for art you like and use that. Maybe canvas prints, or art with light backgrounds. Green, to me, is very neutral — you could add light blue, white, cream, lighter greens, etc. I don’t like to suggest specific art because it’s a very individual thing, but ... A map of the area, like this, would be fun — A decorative mirror might be nice, too, to reflect light and color. Definitely do a search for things like ‘art for dark green walls’ ... ‘lake art’ ... etc ... lots of inspiration comes up....See MoreUser
