PLEASE HELP! Desperate!! Redid master bedroom and need help to blend
Comments (26)@designinteriorsouth Please see my responses following your questions. 1. Your bedside tables are just floating and the bed is completely overpowering them. Add your heavy high boy dresser and it will really accentuate this fact. Are these new? Can they be returned and replaced? You need more solid bedside tables. -- Sadly, the only thing that I can return is the dresser. It is not as high as it appears in the photo (if that helps) 38” W x 46” H. I was truly in love with the nightstands and the bed. The nightstands arrived prior to the bed and once the bed was put in place, I too felt that. The wall sconces did help balance it out a bit. Do you have any suggestions if we were to keep these, because I am not able to part ways with them. 2. Run the wires to your sconces tightly down the wall or horizontally and then down behind the head board. Any exposed wire should be taught and then paint it the color of the wall. -- Good point. Another comment mentions the same. :) I've been searching for a brass cord cover, but will simply paint the cord of this one as you suggest. 3. Anchor the foot of your bed with a bench or two stools. -- I was going to definitely do that, but do you think there is enough carpet space? 4. Keep your draperies neutral and just get ones with darkening lining. Your sheers are too short. -- Neutral as in beige/grey linen neutral enough? 5. I am finding your rug choice with the fabric on your bed and then your wall color all don't relate to each other. You have 3 separate elements here. Were they all chosen in conjunction together? I would bring in a lot of texture.-- Yes, sadly I chose all in conjunction together. I must have horrible taste :P....See MoreTurn child’s bedroom into an office
Comments (20)Thank you so much for all the responses. I had no idea how supportive this community would be. Room design is extremely daunting to me. I just don’t have a knack for me. The room is small. It’s 11x11, has an attached bathroom. Ideally I would love for this to be a cute office that could double as a guest room, if needed. My 16 year old daughter has moved to a bigger room. My oldest son has moved out. My husband is not concerned with the background; of course, I am. He’s a prosecutor and has to “appear” in court. It’s not clear when courts will be back in person. His office is still mostly telecommuting. I’m not sure why I care so much that his background looking professional. Perhaps I really just want to change this room. I’ve been very spoiled in my life and never painted a room myself. My husband has, but doesn’t love the idea of giving up a weekend day(s) to paint a room he has no problem with. (That’s why I’m hopeful I can leave the pink walls.) But my husband would help me paint it if I ask him. I have a small physical issue (with my arms and chest) that makes me feel intimidated to paint, but maybe it’s time for me to try. There is a custom made bed and desk that are only a few years old. Made when my daughter said she would never leave that room. As you can see, the desk does not really have enough workspace for a professional. That’s because it was designed for a kid who had a small room and did her homework at the kitchen table. I can move the bed out but was hopeful I could spruce it up a bit (like the pictures above) and leave it..... but the headboard gives me pause. There is also an antique walnut dresser but I think that can stay(?) I can force myself to remove the glider, to which I do have sentimental attachment....See MorePlease Help With Bedroom Window Treatment
Comments (4)I am 110% happy with the light blocking cellular shades I bought that can be positioned either so the bottom half of the window shows, or the top half shows, or the whole window is unobstructed. They will make them for any size window you have if their off-the-shelf in stock stuff doesn't fit. They come in various textures and colors. They are modern and attractive, and don't look the least bit cheap. Check out Hunter Douglas. Because of the way our bedroom furniture is positioned, we don't have any other curtains or treatment on the windows. You might opt for decorating your room first, and then decide if you feel a need for drapery. If your guests might have allergies they might prefer you skip it....See MorePlease help filling bedroom walls!
Comments (16)Before adding/filling walls, there is a lot going on… window locations, wallpaper that has its own style, and furniture that doesn’t relate well. You have a great base though for a eclectic, cozy room and I’d continue in that direction using color especially. First decide on the color combo to pull walls/paper together. Begin with bedding and rug, then consider your accessories. A floor mirror is really handy and maybe add art above dresser. Test different ideas and take your time....See MoreJ Williams
