Help! Want to redo our large master bedroom…
Trying to get some help on what to do with our master bedroom. We have an uneven vaulted ceiling, beige paint, a modern farmhouse bedroom set (white with weathering) and beige carpet. Want it to feel adult and balanced - but not sure where to start. Any creative thoughts or help would be appreciated!

Comments (18)If you ditch the built-in tub that frees up a couple of options. I think the shower still works best on the east wall. It affords you the best way to get the width and depth that can make it spacious. Although there is the small window in the southeast corner of the shower, it can be accommodated. Plus with the shower door in that location the door swing really doesn't limit traffic or placement of the other fixtures. If you ditch the tub, you could hide the toilet compartment in the old tub alcove. I'd recommend a pocket door, there are times when you'll keep the door open, times when you want it closed, and a pocket door tends to work well on a toilet compartment in that when the door is open for extended times, the swing is not a factor. I did put a freestanding slipper-type tub in blue in the southwest corner of the room. It sort of fits. One thing you can do...the toilet compartment needs to be at least 30" wide. I'm not sure how a scale drawing will turn out, in my drawing above I have the toilet compartment wall projecting about 6" more southward into the room than the wall behind the sink vanity. If you can make the toilet compartment wall flush with the wall behind the double sink vanity, maybe by even pulling the vanity south 6" and using that 6" of back wall space for shallow storage, that would give you about 9 or 10' of continuous straight wall. If you wanted, you could then extend the length of and/or slide the double vanity to the left and center it off the large window on the south wall. You could do that by leaving the shower as is and simply making the vanity counter longer, or you could do a combination, make the shower wider, say 4' wide, and extend and move the vanity to the left. The more you bring the vanity to the left though, the more the vanity countertop will eventually impinge with the blue freestanding tub location. And with traffic entering the bathroom through the door. So if you ditch the tub altogether, it's something to consider....See MorePlease help us pull together the decor of our master bedroom
Comments (36)Ontario mom, I am posting pictures of our "blue room" that isn't actually painted blue. I think that the blue of Scandinavian Christmas plates looks best on a color other than blue. The white Holly Kay linked to, or something similar, would be beautiful for pine furniture and floors. This is a sort of montage of photos of the room. I have about 100 plates and cannot display them all, but they were the starting point for the room. It was already painted this gold color. I used other blue and white pieces i already owned (urns, vases, Foo dogs, etc) in this room as well. We purchase the oil of children on the beach and I framed it myself in the plein air style. Sorry for the horrible iPhone photos....this shows the plates above the headboard. We used DS2's childhood furniture (armoire and dark pine single size sleigh bed ). We recently put rustic white oak floors in the room and I added this blue and taupe-y gray rug: Closer of plates above headboard (these are Norwegian) and other blue and white stuff on shelf in bed alcove: In the corner is a display thing bought at Ballard Back Room in Atlanta (their discount place). They called it a bookcase but it is perfect for displaying plates in a corner! This is an interesting side table my mother gave me for my birthday about seven years ago. It is a mosaic top made up of broken pieces of blue and white china. On it is a lamp that was in my childhood room...a little too "good" for the rest of the room, but I wanted to use what I had. The bedding is a discontinued Ralph Lauren pattern I found on ebay. They incorporate shades of navy, royal and light blue, which is a perfect foil for the plates. I use the white matellasse cover on the bed with the comforter folded up at the foot. Hope these photos help you envision a blue and white room :-)...See MoreLarge Master Bedroom- Help Please With Creating Spaces
Comments (1)We are building this plan, and both DH wanted an upstairs master suite, which this plan delivers. However, I'm worried arranging furniture might be awkward with the room size and the amount of doors. I was hoping to incorporate a sitting area with book shelves, and to have the option of moving bed to a different wall in future. We don't have furniture that we'd bring to this new bedroom, so there are lots of possibilities with this blank canvas. I had thought about moving the closet entry to the bathroom to reduce the number of doors. The wall of windows in bedroom faces East for a great view of property and sunrises, and we will have privacy to the West in the bathroom that we don't need blinds on window over bath tub. (Property is 160 acres, no neighbours for miles) Here is a picture of someone else's bedroom built on this plan. I don't know if it's their furniture, color combo's, or the scale of the windows, but it just wasn't what i was envisioning when I saw the plan on paper. It doesn't feel right to me. Any suggestions from GW would be so much appreciated. Thanks!...See MoreDecorating this wall in our master bedroom... Need some help.
Comments (11)Your room is very nice. But I think to fill that wall with art/photos, you're either going to have to have very large pieces or many of them. It's not possible to tell from the one view, but the first thing I thought when I saw your pic is that I would move the head of the bed over to that wall. I am assuming there is a window on the other side of the bed to match the one we see? If so, then that wall between them is much smaller for hanging art. It also might be possible to partially block the view of the dog crates if they are behind the bed when entering the room (or could they go on the wall the door is on, so they aren't so prominent from the door view?) Placing art above the dog crates is going to look odd and unfinished to me....See MoreRelated Professionals

last yearI like the earthy color palette in these inspirations photos. This restful pale gray from Benjamin Moore would look good on all walls and ceiling as elcieg suggested. Add lots of texture, such as woven wood blinds and a knitted throw. A rug with a border will outlline the bed and anchor it in the large room.

Wider side table, don't match to the bed. Add Lamps!!!And please?
Pictures from EVERY angle please
Draw and measure, show all doors and windows accurately
Is mom nursing as of this time? ( the chair next to bed ) ?
Do more home work and add all below
The drawers make me nuts of remind me of a kits
I'd take hardware off, screw the panels on and forget they are there! Add a nice long bench. upholstered, even storage!
last yearlast modified: last yearA curtain rod with drapes and/or linen sheers to the floor and the entire width of the wall behind the bed. It will soften the room and downplay the off-center windows. It will draw the eye down and soften the space. Move the headboard out for clearance.
I agree with getting rid of the contrasing walls by painting them the ceiling color.
Here is a rough render.

PROlast yearI think your wall color is too dark. Is there an ensuite that has a color scheme that should be duplicated in this room?
Here's something you could do with the room
IMO drapes will anchor the space.
I'd replace the heavy looking ceiling fan

I also like this, but it has no other colors - I guess something could be brought in with lamps, drapes or pillows?
