Suggestions for decorating my master bedroom
Comments (21)I tried the bed with two side tables at an angle, but it didn't really work. Something about the distance between the large window and wall, and the width of the bed just didn't work. I could never get the angle to where it felt comfortable to look at. It also left a huge gap in the triangular area between the headboard and walls. It caused the trunk to be just a few feet from the entrance and the pathway from the entrance into the bathroom seemed cramped and awkward. So, it will have to be near where it is now. But I'm intrigued with the suggestion that I could move the bed over to where it was partially under the window. I have been diligently trying to keep it perfectly centered between the small window and the wall, even though that means I don't get a table. Because I thought that was what one should do. I would love to have a bedside table on my side. What you don't see is a foot stool providing storage for my chapstick, water, reading material, and extra pair of socks in case my feet get cold. And shutters??!! For the love of cabbage, people, I absolutely adore shutters, but didn't think they would work in that room. Shutters!! I also found a rug in Pottery barn that combines a version of the warm reds and yellows with the cooler blues and greens. I think this color mix will work, but it needs to be the right shades. http://www.potterybarn.com/products/brant-rug/?pkey=cpersian-style-rug-shop Also, if you will turn with me to p.152 of your January 2011 Pottery Barn catalog that offers Comfortable Style and a whites sale, you will see a photo of pillows at the bottom left of the page. I'm liking these colors and thinking of them with lots of neutrals. I'm warming up to the idea of the cottage look with lots of whites/neutrals, but still not sure about white slipcovers and all the white. It seems like it could look like a bunch of ghosts live here and left their outfits laying around the house. Maybe I need to look at more pictures. Also, on the all white with one color thing...is it one color for the whole house or does each room get a different color? And how would you avoid people from referring to different rooms as the "Red" room or the "Yellow" room or the "Blue" room? Two other questions... Given all the doors, which I am beginning to accept must be painted or replaced (Painting furniture made from hardwoods makes me sad, but I now see that I can't leave them as they are) would some type of wainscoting be too much action for this room? This is my grandmother's iron bed that is in an upstairs guest room. Would it be a candidate for our room, or do I need wood? Or possibly something upholstered? The iron bed does accept a standard mattress, you just have to beat and shoehorn it in there. The footboard is the same, but, of course shorter. It's brass-colored with the paint flaking off and will need to be repainted. Upholstered like this: http://www.potterybarn.com/shop/furniture-upholstery/bedroom-ideas/?cm_type=lnav The third room idea which is also found on p.18-19 in the January PB catalog....See Moremaster bedroom decor help needed
Comments (15)Very pretty room. You've done a nice job in finding accessories for your new BR. I have to agree with charlie about the frames tho. Darker, or pretty much anything other than gold frames would help with the pics not getting lost. May I ask what paint color you used? I used SW Blonde in my home (looks similar to your paint color, but yours is a bit more yellow). I have used a few gold frames in my LR. However, the frames are larger - heavily gilded portrait frame, an oil by DH's GF many years ago, and a piece DH and I purchased while traveling before the Blonde. Gold frames are tricky with that family of paint colors. While I think using the runners in a different way is a great idea, you didn't post pics of the window(s) that you need to decorate. I have seen the longer thin windows done with a runner and it looked like a custom WT. I am not a placemat or napkin made into curtain lover either, but I guess I'd like to at least see what your original thoughts were. The runners are pretty and do coordinate with the other colors in your room. How many runners do you have? While I agree they would look pretty on the dressers, from experience, I personally think they are going to be dust collectors. Like the idea of draping one across the bottom of the bed if they are long enough. Also, you haven't picked lamps. Would there be enough of that middle of the runner fabric to do a custom lamp shade? Are you planning bedside table lamps or wall lamps? Just a few thoughts....See MoreMaster bedroom design and decoration.
Comments (24)I also dislike beds on the same wall as an entrance. For me Your room is hard to pick a best layout because of the door and window placement. I would normally put the bed on the longest wall access from the door or on the short wall opposite the sitting area. You didn't say what the door next to the window is....See MoreMaster Bedroom wall decor
Comments (5)We would try the artwork across from the bed over a console and then try the lamp by the chair in the corner with a piece of vertical artwork with it. If you have enough space near the window you could try getting a chaise and place a lamp and piece of artwork near it as well....See More

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoI just love this layout (bed in front of window) for bedrooms... HUGE impact relatively inexpensively..
You can also get a smashing chandelier to add to the elegance...The other corner, where the outlets are, are then freed up for a comfy chair...

5 years agoGeez you had the room for the larger IKEA chests. Those nightstands don't hold anything and you have lots of room on either side of the bed. Too bad

5 years agoThank you so much Lynne. That is so great. I am liking a gray, white, and black color scheme. Maybe something like this:
Just need to decide on an accent color.
