Help decorating new master bedroom
Sara
5 years ago
Our addition is nearing completion, and I’d love to dial in our bedroom so we have a place that feels finished and relaxing while the rest of the house is in chaos from our remodel. I’m looking for suggestions for window coverings for our big slider, bedside tables, headboard, perhaps a rug? Trim is white, floors are natural oak orefinished hardwood. Vaulted ceiling. We have a flax colored linen duvet cover and this quilt, which was made by my mom. I’d like to keep the quilt but and fine having it folded at the end of the bed so it’s not quite so bright. Pictures include a lot of chaos-cardboard on floors to protect them from construction and boxes moved here from other rooms. I love color but also want this space to feel relaxing. Finally, bed is a king-what rug size would be best? Help! I don’t have an eye for this :).

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoAn actual floor plan with details is always a good idea. I like to start with the bed , you need a headboard . What style do you like ? I looked at your idea books it seems you like a more traditional style so choose a headboard that works with that style . I like duvets only with more simple styling in a contempory space. With your style more tailored bedding is nice.A mattelasse coverlet with your quilt folded at the end would give you a nice clean look with a wood headboard or even a tufted one would work. You have space for some nice chest type night tables with nice lamps. The pic shows a coverlet like I am talking about . I might just go with a runner on either side of the bed since it really does not seem like a good place for a rug since most of it would be hidden since IMO rugs under beds really only work if they extend to where you put your feet on rising. Please post a floor plan for us to really get to work.

Comments (18)Agree on the furniture placement that you have. Thanks for the photos. So, if you keep the bed under the window, the best looks seem to be a full ceiling-to-floor drapery behind the bed. Right now, there are several different horizontal lines (blinds, headboard and swag) competing with each other. The long drapery changes all that so there is only one horizontal line, and that would be the headboard. In your room, I'd consider long drapes behind the bed, and eliminate the swag and the blinds. The two rooms below used a light sheer to get daylight into the room, and a heavy drapery for light control at night. The third room used a heavy grommet drapery and no sheers. All these room's have larger bedside lamps....See MoreHELP! Master Bedroom decorating ideas
Comments (19)I think the blue rug is a modern style runner ? (gorgeous color!) But I don't think it works in the way you are using it. Is there a hallway leading into your bedroom where you could use it maybe? It goes nicely with your art; maybe it comes in a larger size to use as others have suggested? It's such a wonderful, spacious room, but it feels to me like the bed is kind of crammed into the area with the lower, angled ceiling, which limits end table space as well as limiting the height of lamps. I know you said the bed must stay, but it looks like a child's bed because it's so low and kind of squatty (like it's missing its legs?) in a room that could handle something taller, with more presence. You say your style is bold, but the bed is anything but! I would consider getting a bed that is just larger, taller, thicker, etc. And I would put the headboard on the wall where the TV is and move the TV to the alcove where the bed is. There might be other arrangements if you show us more of the room with doors and windows on a floor plan sketch. I'd probably ditch the couch in favor of something smaller and cozier, or a couple of chairs. When you decide on a rug (if you take that suggestion, then maybe some bolder bedding (on your new, more substantial bed ;-). Perhaps paint the hanging chair a bold color to go with the painting and rug - maybe it could go in front of the windows. If not paint, then bold pillows/cushions in it? Here's one painted blue: Maybe add some wallpaper somewhere....See Moremaster bedroom room decor help
Comments (16)First I would move the dresser to the all across from the bed. Unstuff that corner with the closet or bathroom door. Then I would add some jewel tones, a much larger rug under the bed, curtains and different lamps. https://jqueen-ny.com/collections/j-queen-new-york/products/lazaro-indigo-comforter-set https://www.lampsplus.com/products/richford-brass-plug-in-swing-arm-wall-lamp-with-dimmer__1r145.html https://www.rugs-direct.com/Details/Nourison-Concerto-CNC06/140973/226986?source=roomvo...See MoreHelp me decorate our master bedroom
Comments (14)I think I'm wanting to change up the space and open it up. I do like the idea of keeping rustic table tops to match the barn doors. I'm seriously looking for all and any suggestions. I'll have to add some ideas to my idea book...See MoreSara
