How to finish my bedroom
Hi all! Just moved into a new house and am keeping my bed and my new duvet cover. Need help deciding what kind of nightstands, lamps
and dresser to purchase. Also need help with deciding on a rug. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
many thanks,
Susan

last yearlast modified: last yearThe bright white and blue coverlet has a lot of contrast against the neutral. Use those colors so it has something to tie into. White nightstands with blue lamp bases and white lampshades.
Find a throw in the same color tone as the headboard. The dresser could be the same gray. Then a nice pale blue simple area rug.

How would I turn a 3 bedroom into a 4 bedroom?
Comments (29)I know you will hate me for this, but please understand my view point. I am an old house LOVER! I also spent twenty years as a banker trying to talk people into understanding that their future home purchase had to be about love....and practicality. When you are in love with a house you think that the fact that it slapped around the last owners was likely because they were bad owners...they probably deserved it because they didn't do the maintenance you would do to keep it in check. You justify the little issues like the third eye as something minor instead of realizing that a third eye is not actually a normal thing and will require some seriously expensive custom lenses. You turn a wet basement into a couple puddles.... Ten years,..no lets make it five if you get the house....if you find that my pessimistic attitude was totally incorrect and your home turned out to be perfect beyond compare...please tell me I am wrong so I can learn a lesson. But if on the other hand my gazillion years of trying to make people understand that they should buy a home they love....but should equally involve their brains and heart in the equation turns out to make some sense in your potential chris brown like situation.....well be sure to share that valuable experience as well so that others can learn from you...and make light of your experience because "that will never happen to them". I tried to buy the egg and I farm as a young wife ohhhhh so many years ago thinking that a house with walls falling down and a tree growing in the living room just needed our tender and inexperienced care to bring it back.....the bank laughed...thank god!...See MoreFinished my bedroom redo
Comments (10)The switch is for the ceiling light. There was a fan/light but it is upstairs in an old house and the ceilings are low. After my husband died I had my son take down the fan and replace it with just a light....See MoreHelp me finish my coastal bedroom,please! Flo, Beth H., HIWE?
Comments (25)This is the beginnings of a very beautiful room! That bed is absolutely stunning! I find your blue coverlet is clashing with the teal of the bed. Because the bed is the star of this room, I would use all white linens on the bed and use the blue coverlet across the bottom of the bed. The patchwork quilt I would fold and just have sitting on the bench at the base of the bed. If you have a bench, by the way, don't do the ottoman for the chair. For your ceiling light and table lamp, go with a style more current and not "pretty". And that's the same with other decor in this room. All your major elements of this room are already "pretty", if you add more "pretty" it will start to look sickingly sweet. Replace the ruffled pillow on the chair with something less "pretty". I would go with a plain cream upholstered bench to match your dresser and night stand. Let the bed be the star. Instead of the beige paint, I would love to see a very very soft blue or pearl grey....See MoreHelp me finish my guest bedroom
Comments (40)@sparkleivy, it's a beautiful and cozy room. I agree that the lamps are short, and since they stay...maybe stack some books under them to add height. Guests could even grab a book to read from the stack..... As for the plants, I think if fresh plants aren't your thing silk plants do attract dust. I don't have them in my house, maybe try succulents, they are pretty easy to grow. I agree with fresh cut flowers for when guests arrive. That wall across the bed doesn't need much, and if space is limited what about some fun ornamental hooks, that guests can use for shirts, hats, jackets? These were just an idea. The tree ones look fun, and earthy and are an interesting design all on their own. The birds were whimsical and may not be your thing, but just thought these wall hooks could be both pretty and useful....See More

last yearlast modified: last yearSince you don’t have a dresser yet, I’d measure the space between windows and look for a dresser that fits, if it opens up more nightstand options (size and height wise) on a more suitable wall. First step is deciding on the layout.
Would you be interested in a white comforter or coverlet and fold your bedspread at bottom for a more modern, cozy layered feel.
Choose lamps last, as it depends on nightstands. It’s also more interesting when furniture is not a set. Look at lots of on line inspiration rooms to help you define the look you want, before purchasing. The big picture is the first decision (along with layout).

last yearThis room reminds of yours.
I’d bring warmth in like they did here, it’s such a lovely look:
With your bedding folded back as they did:
