Weird bedroom alcove
Looking for some help with an awkward alcove in our basement bedroom. This is the only wall the king bed will fit on comfortably, but this space behind one side of the bed is driving me nuts. I’ve thought shelves might be cool but I’m at a loss other than that. (I know we need new side tables and lamps) Can anyone help?

Comments (4)What a lovely big room. I'd put your bed facing the window if that's what you want. I would also create a small sitting area since you have so much space and add some colour by creating a feature wall with either wall paper or paint. If you use the wall that the bed is against you can afford a more expensive wallpaper as it's not a lot of space to cover. Accents such as lamps, carpets, cushions and window coverings will all bring the look and colour scheme together. Have fun decorating!...See MoreWeird Master Bedroom Project for Mom - Please Help!

Comments (3)Book shelves above it. Maybe two sets of book shelves with a mirror between, using the ledge as a dresser top with lamps, a plant or something decorative. Or put a couch in front of it with lamps on it (like a console table). Looks too deep for the head of your bed but if you cover it with wood, you should be able to make it look nice....See MoreWeird odor in bedroom but not anywhere else
Comments (0)We bought our home back in March. After a few months we noticed a smell coming from our son's room which then led to him developing an awful cough. We're trying our best to avoid any bloodwork and trying to remediate the problem. We had a mold assessor come out and the report came back with no dangerous mold but his room did have cladosporium and ours did not. We decided to go forward with gutting our son's room down to the studs and had it all replaced. Unfortunately, the odor is still there and is affecting his cough still. Prior to moving in we also had the HVAC vents cleaned and a uv filter installed to the system. We also replaced his baseboard heat in hopes that may have been causing the issue but no such luck. My husband and father now tore down the ceiling in our garage which is below our son's room and noticed some mouse droppings. We cleaned the area and sprayed an enzymatic spray to neutralize the odor but still have not been able to remediate the issue. At this point we then ripped out the wood floors in his room, painted the floor in kilz and caulked around the edges to avoid anything to sleep up. We had carpet laid down (not installed) god forbid the smell returned and low and behold it has but in my opinion it now smells musty. Im not sure where to go from here, we are at a loss and hoping for some direction. The last step would be to tear out the subfloor but I honestly don't believe that would help. My gut says it's either the siding and there is a leak or it's something from the garage below still giving off a smell or the gutters that were gunked with crap before we moved in and when we cleaned them we unleashed a gross stink or a leak now behind the gutters. I'm not sure where to go or what to do....See More

5 years agoYou could have something built in to fill out the space, if there would be a way to get in and out of a storage cabinet. You could have book shelves above the height of the bed frame. Another thought--You could have a feature wall made for the entire wall, closing in the alcove, like this:

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoBuy or have someone create a table or just install a couple of shelves, even 3 or 4 across the opening, that fits the area floor space, that you can place a lamp at the offset/center of the bed, some books, a flashlight, extra pillows or blankets/set of sheets, and a basket of assorted courtesy items...and decorative boxes on top and bottom could store seasonal items for your home... The shelves could be painted the color of your walls or wood trim.....It's nice to put something like this digital item, in a guest room, too...You might not need 2 lamps and you might be able to place a chair to the left of the bed, in the place where a nightstand might be?
This is the neatest item I have seen yet for any bedroom! ..<https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07193RGD6/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07193RGD6&pd_rd_wg=gMt0e&pd_rd_r=0JRNBZBFHJPWB45VBBB8&pd_rd_w=uxbNy> Nice for a shelf behind a bed too...
