Updating Master Bedroom...HELP!!!!!
I am redoing my master bedroom. I am stuck on what color dresser to get. I am not sure if I should go with solid white, a white wash, or a light brown. I am also open to other ideas. Thanks!!
Planning to get artwork for above my bed, one more white pillow for the bed, and repaint walls a lighter color.

4 years agoCan we see each of the walls? Is your bed located opposite the entrance? Here's a chart for sizing tables and lamps. Is this your bedding or do you plan to upgrade? The warm wall color and cool color headboard are clashing, IMO.

Master bedroom:help with accessories please
Comments (8)Your draperies are beautiful. Your headboard seems to be a bit on the rustic side, so I am wondering if you're going for a rustic or rustic-modern look overall. I think the night stands are getting a bit lost, but the lamps help brighten up the corners, so maybe you need some lightening up of accessories in the colors you choose on the night stands. I like the bench you posted, but again, I think you need to decide first on a quilt /bedspread color (and shams) and then make a decision on the bench. For the large blank wall, I wouldn't put anything in the floor, just use a large piece of art or sculptural piece. Or use 3 similar, same sized art pieces in alignment....See MoreMaster bedroom help please
Comments (12)What type of feeling do you want the room to have? I love the idea of dark blue walls and I picture layers of those tones for a lush cocoon effect. Do you have inspiration pictures? Just Googled Abigail Ahern - new to me. Ok, lots of organic elements, dark backgrounds with layers of textures and botanicals. Have you seen any master bedrooms she's done that you like? I worry that the F&B Hague Blue will look almost black in the room and I'm not sure if that's as dark as you'd want. I'd be looking at a blue with a bit of green in it. F&B Stiffkey Blue, e.g. I also like their Inchyra Blue and De Nimes. I think they'd make lovely backdrops for your art. In BM colours, there's Azurite that caught my eye. Caveat: looking at these colours on my screen so obviously you'll be the judge of the best colour in your room. :) But first, there's the whole headboard thing. :) You might not find a canopy bed the right choice for your room but perhaps a four poster would work? Could we see the antique rug? Perhaps you can take your bedding or curtain colours from that? Though I think your current would probably work. I'd be wanting to add some burnished gold to all the dark blue - perhaps you could do wall lamps for the bed to free up your night tables? Add some gleam like a capiz shell light fixture maybe? Recover the bench in a faux fur? Layer the bed with linens and velvet. If I were to paint the closet door, it would be gold or the wall colour, not white. No high contrasts. I don't know what your budget is but my suggestion is to figure out your mood board for the room and plan all the elements according to time, budget and energy. Good luck! Hope you keep us posted with your progress....See MoreMaster bedroom help !
Comments (11)The designer never answered the questions about where the night stands are from, but I'm sure you can find something similar. If you're open to a new lighter colored dresser, or even willing to paint it a different color, I think that would give you more of the "modern casual coastal" look that you're going for. Then you could use the second white end table you posted with a navy or light stained wood dresser. You can likely sell your current dresser to help with the expense of a new one. Or try painting it....See Moremaster bedroom help
Comments (16)The wall color is not bringing out the best in the fireplace or the cream colored chair in the corner. There is not enough contrast. It might be the wrong color altogether to go with the fireplace surround. I can't really tell since the picture doesn't show it close up. If you just painted I can understand you may not want to repaint, but if this is an option, look at colors that are present in the fireplace surround but are either lighter or darker than what you already have. Be thinking about your window treatments before you paint so they coordinate....See More

4 years agoTurn your bedspread down . You have a cream bedskirt; reveal your hopefully matching sheets. There needs to be more of the lighter cream in this mix! I would get a more substantial chest and taller lamps.

There really are incredible deals on makers like Drexel Heritage, Henredon, Ethan Allen (including Legacy line, which is French Country without too much ooh la la) that could suit your space and aesthetic very well. Or maybe you will find something to paint. Bedding-wise,consider adding one long lumbar in a print you adore and simplifying pillows. Pull the color for the walls from that print.

4 years agoThe few changes you made helped a lot. I still think you can take this further as this is a nice size room; larger nightstands may be something to consider as well as larger lamps. An upholstered bench for the foot of the bed not only looks nice, it’s practical too!
