I have some familiarity with sloped walls like yours. So, yes, take the color up the slope to the ceiling proper. (Think of it as a slanted wall, not a slanted ceiling.) For the console under the TV - you definitely need something. You can mock it up with cardboard, boxes, etc. to see what space it occupies. With a small ceiling, it might make sense to paint it the same as the light wall color (as long as it is light.) You might try looking at Houzz photos for "painted bedroom ceilings".

Yes, paint the whole slanted area the same dark colour.

i like it - but would paint ceiling same as the other walls.

I like what you have done...looks like a huge headboard and is unique. No, I don't think the room would looked cramped with a console under the tv.

I like the idea of painting the wall behind the bed up to the ceiling. It gives the impression that it has a half tester above it! (A half canopy.). A modern take on an old idea. I would carefully measure the area for your tv console. Its depth will be determined by the swing of the door/knob, etc. A shallow console will be best.

You have two of the same posts going.

I agree with others to paper the sloped wall. For the ceiling, perhaps paint it the same color as the other walls but at a 50% less depth of color. It’ll be the same color but lighter than the 3 painted walls. Also, yes to a console under TV - of course a piece that fits the space & doesn’t block the door but seems like you need a dresser in this bedroom for storage? Is that door on same wall as TV the closet? And, is the door on wall around corner the entry to room? Which way does entry door swing?

I agree with other comments, I would also take the color up the slope to the ceiling.

@jck910 I deleted the other post. I was having trouble finding it yesterday.

For whatever reason I think paint accent may work better than wallpaper, if wallpaper is a pattern. Different thoughts if wallpaper is a kind of “ solid” but has some special properties of depth or texture not achievable via paint.

I’d paint the entire room a warm, earthy color, including ceiling and it won’t feel as broken up.

Instead of wallpapering, consider wooden slats behind bed (easy to do) and won’t limit the mcm/boho accessory and bedding choices - unless you are using a grasscloth.

I’d end the slats/paper where wall slants (will feel similar to below).

Regarding TV wall, measure allowable width (could you change hinges so door opens on other side?). Consider storage and if space between TV and furniture feels empty, lower TV a bit and add cushions.

marmiegard_z7b I was thinking something like this…

This is what I'm thinking for a dresser under the TV. It's 18in deep (door swings open about 28in from wall)…

I get what Maureen is saying about painting everything the same colour even the door and trim. It will remove the delineation of the walls.

Anyone have experience with black paint? Something that would look good opposite Accessible Beige, warm colors, and woods?

Depends on what colour you want to see in the black. it could be green black brown black blue black but id steer clear of anything with a purple hue. Broadway from behr is nice and i used it in a fifth wheel to do the cupboards and ivory palace on the walls with wood trim looks great

Please, do not post the same dilemma twice. You have blown off those who responded to your first post. Additionally, those here have no idea what suggestions you have received. Very frustrating.

@elcieg I had trouble locating the first post initially (hence, why this post exists). It has since been deleted. I have an additional post about bed sheets, but that is a seperate delima. Everything pertaining to the back wall is here. I will update the post on the resolution when I have completed the project.

I'm considering another bed (West Elm) instead of Thuma because it matches the side tables my wife likes. They are more functional than the plaster end tables (it also matches the dresser I have in my rendering as well). It would also be really easy to get everything from one place…

My concerns are:

1. The headboard is taller, leaving me with less room for art above (21 inches)
2. The wood tables are a little wider than the plaster, leaving me with 2in between wall and table and table and bed
3. Less contrast in color and texture, which I liked, but functionality may be more important

Other options could be the Thuma bed + West Elm Tables, or West Elm bed with plaster tables (which I show below). Or I keep searching for alternate tables/beds…

What do you guys think about the West Elm bed + tables + dresser? Is it too matchy-matchy?

More views of West Elm matchy-matchy option…

@maureen I'm also messing around w/ your slat wall idea. It's cool, but would be a bit more work…

Would probably do some kind of fabric bed frame instead…

One additional option could be this upholstered storage bed from West Elm. This could break up the matchy-matchy aspect of the area and add even more storage…

Those West Elm matchy matchy side tables are nice especially with their plug in functions. But, that’s creating a pretty tight space to change sheets & will get old real fast. I do like the fabric headboard against the black wall - it’s a nice softening touch. Maybe the thing to do is go back to basics with a pro /con list for each combo. See which one scores highest with least issues space wise. Include ”xx likes best” as one of the pros for each item. Each person - you & wife - should complete this list separately. Then do a compare. Might be eye opening & might deliver a choice solution.

These are in the same Mid-Century line at West Elm. They're also 18in, but round so there is a little more air around them and the wall/bed. They also have a marble top, so it breaks up the wood a little. However, there is no charging station, there is a little less storage, and they're more expensive…

Shea - the round tables look like LR end tables & fairly useless as bedside tables - no storage. I need storage for my ’stuff’. YMMV

One more option would be these "Mitzi" nightstands. They are 15.75in wide, giving us the most space between wall/bed.

Well, they do provide a drawer for storage. An idea - instead of lamps on night stands, wall mounted lights would free up all the surface space on tables & some of the lights have elbows or are extendable for reading light position flexiblilty.

KW PNW Z8I have thought about wall mounted lights, but that wall is plaster (old house) and I don't really want to open up that can of worms.

You said you liked the fabric headboard against the dark wall. Well, apparently they make that same bed with an upholstered back. I like how it breaks up all the wood…

My vote isn’t as critical as your wife’s but I do like the storage bed with the headboard and the rest of the MCM furniture pieces (side tables and dresser). If the side tables have charging stations, even better.

It doesn’t look too “matchy-matchy” this way. Definitely buy some Samplize of different dark colors before investing in paint There are great dark green/blacks that would look richer than regular black, and “soft blacks” that won’t be as harsh. And yes, paint the sloping part too.

Or paint the whole room dark! You are choosing light colored pieces and a deep green would be wonderful all around the room. Can you do a mock up of that with the gray bed, MCM night stands and dresser?

(Worst case if you think it’s all getting too similar, an MCM dresser from an antique store would be great in this room.)

@RedRyder The upholstered bed is actually made to order and could take like 6 months, so I think I'm going to stick to the wood frame. However, I did find one w/ an upholstered headboard, so maybe that breaks up the matchy-matchy a little?

I had considered painting the room all one (dark) color, but my wife is dead set on that accent wall and wants it to pop. The accent is actually going to be a textured (hemp) wallpaper.

I do like your "dark green" suggestion though! Instead of using it on the walls, maybe I could bring it in w/ a quilt or w/ pillows? Drapes maybe?

Shea, I do understand about the plaster walls & I agree - don’t go there! My parents retirement home was a 40’s build & lots of plaster walls. My mom used wall paper in many rooms but I helped with painting others. The painting of plaster is really different than painting wallboard! I do like the upholstered headboard against the dark wall & agree it breaks up the wood & I think adds a softness to a bedroom space. So, did you & your wife make your lists? You have so many options & choices that I really think that exercise will help narrow your focus.

We have whittled our choices down to 4 options, and now we're completely stuck!

1. Option 1: My wife likes the wood headboard and prefers the functionality of the charging stations inside the square nightstands
2. Option 2: I like the wood headboard too, but I feel like the nightstands with the marble tops add an interesting element to the space (con: lose charging station functionality)
3. Option 3: We keep the functionality of the wood nightstands, but add the interesting element part to the headboard with the upholstered back
4. Option 4: This option would lose the charging station functionality, but I feel it is the most interesting mix of colors and textures

In terms of functionality, we have outlets on the walls to the left and right of the bed—so we could use an adapter on each end to make more outlets if needed.

Which option do you guys like the best and why?

Option 2. Because it's a nice compromise & you both get the headboard you like best. One note, I'd set up those adapters on each side first just to see how it works & mostly how it looks with the cords - trip hazard or messy? Then rethink & choose option 1.

I feel like I just took an essay test answering your question - which one do we like & why .... :-)

Another thought - some mattresses & headboards have charging stations built in - our mattress does & it also has floor lighting.

Thanks for your help everyone! We ended up deciding on this wood/woven bed last minute with the marble top nightstands. We felt like the added texture broke up the matchy-matchy look. The headboard is also a little shorter leaving us with more room above for art. We will probably do white sheets with a dark olive quilt and shams.

I like that headboard - it’s a nice touch of texture & is nice with the pieces you’re putting on wall above the bed. The marble top stands are very nice too against the dark wall. Thanks for updating with your final choices!

Thank you, KW! Your advice about the Pros and Cons really helped us out a lot.
