Design help for bedroom with off-center windows
SOS!
We centered the bed against a long wall of the bedroom. On one side of the bed is a shuttered window, and on the other is a blank wall. What should I do to achieve a balanced look?
The room is approximately 11' x 13' with 8' ceilings. The rug is cream-colored with a light brown, gray, and blue design.
As you can see, the room is bare. The bedding is just old blankets.

Comments (20)In my very humble opinion... I would suggest painting the Ceiling the same color as your surrounding walls, by doing this it will taKe away from all the angles and not drawing more attention to that ceiling... I would paint that wall and get some drapes in the same color, ( you don’t want to add more to make it stand out) add two pendant lights above each night Stand, you need all the space on those night stands and the lamps are taking up valuable real estate. Like this... don’t. Mind my rough drawing......See MoreOff centre bedroom wall dilemma
Comments (11)I like your idea of blinds and sheers. And I think once you get art on the walls and other decor in place, it’s going to look very different (lovely and cozy). Can you do a rug, or would you rather not because of the wheelchair? I really like your headboard and the floors ... good start to what will be a pretty room. :) If you haven’t already, google ‘bedroom off center window’ — so many pictures of nice rooms come up. It might give some inspiration. ETA: Would it be possible to put the dresser in the corner, or would it be too big? It’d allow you to move the bed over a bit, but still have room for your chair. I have my dresser in a corner, it worked out better that way. But I cant tell from the photos if yours would fit....See MoreOff-centered bedroom window!
Comments (20)Still a work in progress but hoping to have it finished this weekend. We tried a long arm lamp from CB2 and it just wasn’t enough to balance out the window alone. We’re going to do a gallery wall behind the nightstand on the right. We also hung bamboo blinds on both windows (we have another asymmetrical window on the white wall). I will post it once it’s done so you can see if you like it or not. I really did not want to cover the window completely - I’d rather have the light than the design balance.

Comments (1)One way is to extend your drapery rods so that they create symmetry - extend the draperies past the windows the distance you need to create the look you want. A picture of the space would help!!...See More

Here is the layout of the room. The other issue is that the shutters swing inward. The headboard can't clear the shutters.

Of course, if you don't like it on the window-less wall, you could keep it where it is, but, as suggested above, just center it between the window and the wall on the right.
