Master Bedroom Decorating Ideas
Comments (3)What color and style is your bedding? Any accent colors in the room? How much open floor space do you have? Room for a pretty little upholstered chair (if it won't just become a dumping ground) or a small secretary in a corner? With the cherry furniture a painted piece in black would look very nice. A floor lamp and a lower floor plant next to it and Bob's your uncle, a very nice little cozy corner. Fake ficus are a little bit predictable and IMO overdone, try a good-sized faux dieffenbachia or philodendron, or put a faux fern or ivy on an elegant plant stand. (Wrought iron, maybe?) Just make sure you keep them clean and put them in nice cachepots or urns. Every bedroom needs a wastebasket, so make it an attractive one. If the beige carpet needs some jazzing up, you can put a small area rug over it using a special pad that sticks it down to the carpet. I always liked the look of a runner on each side of the bed - they don't have to match. Thinner rugs work better than thick ones. Although some people do not like them, I like dried flowers very much, although I am probably biased because my mother makes beautiful wreaths and arrangements (which is half the reason why I have four LOL). Keep them dusted with a can of compressed air (sold at office supply stores for cleaning computers' innards) and they won't get all gunky which is one of the reasons why a lot of people dislike them. Avoid obviously-dyed flowers and stick to the natural stuff. I once had a big sheaf of dried spray roses in a wall basket - they had been a gift from a sweetheart, but crafts stores like Michaels have them quite inexpensively. White flowers turn a lovely parchment color when dried, if they have not been bleached. As for other wall decor - take a look around at some catalogs that show room scenes to get an idea of what appeals to you. Your bedroom should reflect you and your interests so that it does not appear generic. Maybe it's architectural artifacts like wrought iron, maybe it's shelves with small sculptures and natural objects, maybe it's a collection of little framed mirrors or a handmade fabric wall-hanging. Take a look around this forum's Gallery too, to see if any of our members have done something that revs your engine. Should you want a tapestry, instead of a mass-produced one that you could get from a hundred different outlets, check out Novica.com for some gorgeous handmade ones and other artwork from independent artisans around the world. If you live in earthquake country, use very good wall anchors or hangers to hold anything except a lightweight tapestry above or near your bed. "Oook" makes some excellent hangers that are available at Home Depot - they are rated for heavy weights (I always go overboard on that anyway, better too much than not enough) and have a tongue that keeps things from jumping off the hook. Use a product called QuakeHold to anchor things onto shelves so they don't fall....See MoreNeed help decorating master bedroom

Comments (11)I am so grateful for all of the advise I've received so far. I have a brief description of my problem to keep from posting a long post, but I've noticed it would have answered a few questions. The photos with the brown paint room was taken from the realtor's site when I first moved in. None of that was my furniture. I've been living in my guest bedroom until I figure out what to do. I've painted that room twice and hated it. It is now green and bare as shown in the photo . Green was even worse than the tanish/pink I had (I know, don't ask lol). I've since repainted my living room which is the gray paint. My living room shows the current color scheme. Right behind my sofa is a builtin nook which also has the same color scheme. I bought a used bed canopy bed that I originally wanted to chalk paint white; however, I've recently had a mind change to purchase a round bed in rose (perferred) or gray. The canopy bed is also pictured. So basically I'm starting fresh, with no bedding or colors. I did imagine painting my baseboards and molding gray with whitish wall paint. and possibly use white accessories to blend in a rose colored bed... Just a thought... I'd hate too much gray by adding a gray bed but maybe I cant see it. Once again, I appreciate all of your help.....See MoreHELP! Master Bedroom decorating ideas
Comments (19)I think the blue rug is a modern style runner ? (gorgeous color!) But I don't think it works in the way you are using it. Is there a hallway leading into your bedroom where you could use it maybe? It goes nicely with your art; maybe it comes in a larger size to use as others have suggested? It's such a wonderful, spacious room, but it feels to me like the bed is kind of crammed into the area with the lower, angled ceiling, which limits end table space as well as limiting the height of lamps. I know you said the bed must stay, but it looks like a child's bed because it's so low and kind of squatty (like it's missing its legs?) in a room that could handle something taller, with more presence. You say your style is bold, but the bed is anything but! I would consider getting a bed that is just larger, taller, thicker, etc. And I would put the headboard on the wall where the TV is and move the TV to the alcove where the bed is. There might be other arrangements if you show us more of the room with doors and windows on a floor plan sketch. I'd probably ditch the couch in favor of something smaller and cozier, or a couple of chairs. When you decide on a rug (if you take that suggestion, then maybe some bolder bedding (on your new, more substantial bed ;-). Perhaps paint the hanging chair a bold color to go with the painting and rug - maybe it could go in front of the windows. If not paint, then bold pillows/cushions in it? Here's one painted blue: Maybe add some wallpaper somewhere....See Moremarmiegard_z7b
