Would love to get some help with my bedroom

8 years ago

Hi, I would love to get some suggestions for my bed room.
I was a way for a while and my bedroom was used as a storage room. I am trying to rearrange and sort it out on a shoestring budget. I would like it to have a sense of glamor in the room but at the same time to have it warm and cosy and I can't seem to get it right. There also is a fireplace in the room which is in the process of being tiled with black tiles. I hope it is the right color for this fireplace?! Could you please HELP? Thanks

i agree with most suggestions above. but dont remove your current rug because u can actually layer a faux fur rug over it. plus your rug has amazing rustic colours and u can use them as accents. maybe over time you may invest in new pillowcases/quilt covers complementing the colours of the rug..peach/mint/cream/ to name a few. may also add some mettalic cushions combo. you can always take them off if you want that summery feel in which switch to sweet pastels. a lot of pillows are important! lol! i'd get rid of the plant. the dressing table n side tables could be black (lacquer may be interesting)with gold knobs (think art deco). dressing table should be move to the side so you get more light and space near the window. maybe mirror can be placed against the window so ull also get natural light when you're admiring your reflection. ur room has an eclectic feel to it.. its great just needs some rearrangments thats all.

I would paint the bedside tables and the table in front of the window black. Move the table further to the right. Hang full length drapes, rod close to the ceiling. Black drum shades on the lamps. Black throw across foot of the bed. Voila, chic and cozy. Looks like a great room. Have fun.

Thanks for your input and replay. What color drapes would you suggest? should I consider the tiles in the fireplace when choosing the drapes? I am also in the process of hanging a small chandelier in the room. Thank you once again ;)

Hi lisa -- I'm inspired by the print over your bed and the bed itself to put up an Eiffel Tower mural as your headboard. It's dangerous territory now, as from there you could easily get over-the-top theme-y, and we don't want that. So overt references to Paris would stop there -- no poodles, no signs that say "Paris." Think more Paris flea market. I really like your curtains -- I do wish they went to the floor. If you sew, I'd suggest lengthening them. The coral bedding and lamp colors come from your fashion sketch, which I've framed and hung over your dresser -- painted black with glass knobs. Bigger side tables if you can -- or snug those you have up to the bed a bit and perhaps paint them silver. And these bedside lamps are a little more substantial and you can find them at Target.

best thing is to go through some photos with your sons and ask them what they would like in the bedroom.

I would paint the room white and wall behind bed the same color pink that is in chair and then add prints above headboard and a large piece of art on wall on the right. Change pillows on chair and bed to modern and vibrant colors in grey/pink and yellow and add a coverlette to bottom. Purchase larger lamp for table on right and remove lamp from left side of bed and place a tray and some books on the ottoman. Move carpet to beside the bed. White roman blinds and painting the door white would be a good idea and just ask at paint store what needs to be done to prime, etc. Adding a fun chandelier is also an idea.

It's going to be gorgeous! I can tell already. I agree with the black lamp shades suggestion from bdennison.
I think I would do black or silver curtain panels floor to ceiling with white sheers!

Yes, Black with white shears would be nice. I do like the thought of silver as well. What is your chandelier like?

Bedside tables are sorta clunky. I immediately thought of those glass types that are silvery/etched. Over bed I would put a large piece. I would get rid of that dressing table thing near window/maybe put a wicker/rattan chair and small table or something else. Rug seems to not match your genre/style. Love the fireplace. I can sorta tell your style and recommend looking at the Houzz bedroom pics for type of area rug and bedside tables. (or could u paint those tables black?) Best of luck.

Is that mirror a big black one? How about over the bed?

Thank you all, once again. I attach a photo of the chandelier. (it will be hang within few days).
The mirror is the one beside the plant (it looks black at the photo but it is an old gilded one - I love it).
The fire place is the original to the house (1903).

hickeyraquel.....you may not want to do this....but just an idea. I have a VERY strict budget myself. I have dark gray walls in my bedroom as well, like your headboard wall. I have a couple of other colors thrown into the mix, dark teal, rusty orange, black, beige.....but I just bought 2 very inexpensive side tables for my nightstands and painted them silver. They really turned out nice. Looks good against the dark gray. If you do want to paint your nightstands, (black, silver, whatever), you could add glass knobs to yours and glam them up! And get a mirror cut to put on the tops of your nightstands to add the mirror. Just an idea "on the cheap"!

I like the chandelier,....more glam the better. Where will it hang? I'd go with the glass knobs on all tables that mpoulsom suggests

The wall at the back of the bed is more so green/gray. (does not reflect well in the photo - looks better in the background for the chandelier photo). The chandelier will hang in the center of the room (it is a very high ceiling). I like the idea of painting the table beside the window (I picked it up at a charity shop for 50euros = $60). I can replace the knobs too.

Should I replace the rug?

I like the table as well. it's different and a good size for a bedroom. It looks like it's used for a vanity so you may want a glass/plexyglass top cut for it. it's a little hard to see the rug, so not sure. what colors are in it.
