Bedroom design advice needed
Hello Houzzers! This bedroom has become the repository for hand-me-down furniture and miscellaneous stuff and I can't stand it any more. I've started some plans, but need to bounce ideas off Houzzers before I get too far.
With only one small closet, storage is a big issue here. The room is a good size - roughly 12ft x 15ft.
I've purchased an IKEA PAX wardrobe to place in the bottom left corner to replace the mirror dresser and bookcase and will hire someone to assemble and trim it out to look built in. I found a cool wallpaper to add inside to also help it feel more custom. ((Pictures in comments))
I'll be purging unwanted clothes this weekend and hope to be able to get rid of either the low dresser or the tall dresser or maybe even both. I'm not in love with any of the furniture or window coverings, but can't go too crazy replacing everything. The light fixture is a thing of beauty... not.
I'll add some photos in the comments of the other rooms Houzzers have helped me with over the years. I want to apply the same aesthetic to the bedroom. Thanks in advance for all advice.

Comments (95)I'm going back and forth on adding in some small streaks of the green and bits of silver. Here's what I'm thinking as of now: 1) Base coat - Color match to the beige/light gray in the pillow that comes with set (see picture of forest green comforter I added above.) 2) Add a FEW streaks ("strie"- the vertical lines), of the green and light gray (or whatever the "beige/light gray" pillow color is). I would add maybe 1 streak of each every 7 - 8 inches. I probably wouldn't even be using a teaspoon of each color for the entire wall. I doubt it would even show in the pictures, but when one is in the room, they would see a very subtle lines of the green and light gray. And if I even change the comforter, I could just paint over the green and light gray streaks. 3) Add the metallic paint (something light and "pearly") as the final coat on the headboard wall. 4) Paint the rest of the walls in the base coat (the beige/ light gray color matched from the pillow.) I really like the "drama" of the forest green comforter against the light walls. I also love that large gold metallic vase in @Molly 's picture. Thinking of doing something like that in a pewter. Now just have to find a massive vase that doesn't cost $300+ dollars....See MoreBedroom design advice (rented)
Comments (3)If bed would fit on walll next to sliding door, I’d put desk on the long wall instead so you can benefit from the natural light while working and the ability to add some storage. The sliding door will never look like a window, but decorative film will make it more appealing and provide privacy. You can also get thicker curtains vs your sheers to pull across at night....See MoreNeed bedroom design advice
Comments (13)Gray and beige can work beautifully together in a neutral scheme. Your curtains will be just fine. You are just missing a lot of the elements needed to finish out your room: bed frame/headboard, nightstands (the ones you have are too small), art, lamps, a properly sized rug. Not to be harsh, but your bed looks so sad. Get some nice crisp white bedding. The beige bedding blends right into the floor. You need texture: wood, woven materials, linen, a nubby throw. Glass and metallic elements can provide some contrast as well. Do you want to add another color or just stick with neutrals? What kind of look are you aiming for - modern, a touch boho?...See MoreAmoeba-meba

last monthHU: The room isn't finished yet, but this is how the PAX turned out (before painting the frame). I absolutely love it.

last monthThe curtains are still a bit wrinkled, but much better than they were last night. I may clip them at the bottom to train them to hang straighter.
I hung them just beyond the reach of the PAX door, so the door can open unobstructed.
You can see from the above photo that i ended up modifying the inside of this PAX by removing some shelves and adding a hanging bar and a pull-out hanger. Ikea took the shelves back with no hassels and now the PAX is perfect for us.
