Bedroom Home Decorating

master bedroom help!!

2 years ago

Hi!

So I decided to take on my bedroom project. For years I attempted to tackle this project but with so many moves I justify haven’t been able to. I purchased 2 white decorative pillows but realized that they seemed so small in the bed. I got a little discouraged and just gave up. I am having such a difficult time figuring out what accessories and colors to add from bedding,, pillows, curtains, table lamps and wall color. Please help!!! The bed is in a light grey color with tufted crystals. My nights stands are a silver leaf almost champagne looking depending on lighting.

you have a great start to your bedroom. I saw your ideabook and it looks like you like white bedding with some unique trim. I would start there plus two table lamps for your side tables. it looks like you have a queen size bed. I would say you need two regular size pillows. two euro size and then one accent pillow. euros go against the headboard, then the 2 standard and then the accent pillow, like a 20x20 size. I would get all white sheets, add a white quilt and then a duvet with the accent trim. match the duvet and euro shams.

heres one of your pics in your ideabook that I used for guidance, along with a few ideas for duvets and lamps

Thank you for your feedback! I was actually consider white bedding. I love the look of crystal or clear lamps to complement the tufted crystals on bed. Now what would you suggest for wall color and curtains?

I'm not a fan of any of those options...for various reasons. Mostly because the style/scale as well as the tone doesn't look like it would compliment the bed.....although without links hard to know. The Bernhardt nightstands in your pic from Haverty's are 40 W x30 H x21 D. That is why they don't look dwarfed by the bed. Do you have room to do something like the pic Penny posted? Basically a simple open rectangle with a sturdy leg? Another thing I'd consider is taking a look at kids' dressers/desks. Some are even similar in size and shape to the Bernhardt nightstands.... https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/smiling-hill-4-drawer-dresser-sta6494.html?piid=17238112 Another approach would be multi-tiered side tables, not these exact ones obviously, but again something with enough heft and presence to play nicely with that bed.

I love all the suggestions - thank you! Now I need to take pictures of all my rooms and look at them, because I hadn’t realized how bad that chair looked over there until I saw the picture! 😬 As you can tell, the furniture wasn’t bought for this room. We were shocked that everything fit when we moved. I don’t think I can convince my husband to take the fireplace out - he really likes it, and we do use it in the winter some. Unfortunately all the wall space in my closet has built in shelves so no room for the tallboy. The shelves aren’t full so I may see if I can shift some things around and get rid of it. The chair is a smaller size recliner and I don’t know that I can find something much smaller. We have a vent in the corner that the chair would cover there. I don’t use it as much as I used the chair I had at the old house so this one may go. But then do I need something on that wall? I like the idea of getting bedding I love and adding a throw for the dog. We keep our door closed most of the time so that might work. I’m going to look for a white curtain rod and try hanging curtains right below the molding - I like that look! I wish my husband were handy because I’ve always loved the look of mounding on the wall. I’ll have to think about that...

Paint the wall behind your bed a favorite color. Replace the tables and lamps with wider, larger tables and chunkier lamps. Buy a large area rug that fits under the bed and almost fills the whole room. I suggest you start with the rug so that you can use colors from the rug in the rest of the room. Buy a bed skirt and a bedspread with pillow shams. Coordinate the color with the colors in your new rug. Install an attractive (white and contemporary) ceiling fan with a light in the center of the room. Buy natural Roman shades for your windows. I like ones that go from the bottom up so that you have privacy in your room but you can still get light and air. Put vertical paintings on either side of the bed behind the lamps. The desk can stay or you can replace it with a dresser.

I want to update this master bedroom to reflect a softer, cozier “lighter” space. Thoughts about colors? The furniture is in great shape but the color is too dark- I want to try painting it but I’m just not sure on color. The lamps have to go- replace with sconces? I will also replace the headboard and bench. I saw the wallpaper in the last photo and that inspired me to think cream/gold but need some more ideas. Thanks in advance!

To stick with the inspiration pic above, I would suggest a soft warm grey in a very light shade. maybe pick a handful of options and try them in the room to see what you think? for curtains, I would pick a darker grey, a color close to your headboard, in a velvet or linen.

Don’t you think it will be too much grey?

the pallet would be a neutral one and could look very nice, but maybe you would like more color... you could add a rug with more color and then take color from the rug for say an accent pillow or an accent wall? or you could create an accent wall with some gorgeous wallpaper. I also think a statement chandelier could really give the room some pop and fun.
