Redecorating a North facing bedroom

9 years ago

Help! My bedroom is North facing, so not much bright light enters, I am lucky enough to have a very large window but I am looking for colours or styles that would suit this room, one wall is papered and I would like to keep this, if possible.

It is being dry lined and replastered. As you can see it is quite a large sized room.

Any ideas?! Help!

Put your headboard against the feature wall. Do you have a headboard? If not you could hang a mirror above the bed to bring more light into the room. Keep the curtains or roman blind neutral and if you wish to bring in colour you could get some big red tiebacks.

Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie

Hiya We recently moved into our new apt. both bedrooms are north facing so I'm looking for ideas for colours. we have a black leather framed bed & I've picked out 2 bed side lockers which are wood with black drawers and 2 bedside lamps with a copper stand, our wardrobe is not the standard built in type...the wardrobe door is basically a normal room door if you know what I mean. Its pretty spacious and I'm conscious while filling space I don't want to clutter it. Our living area is painted Oxford white and my other half wants to use this in the bedroom...but I think it would he weird to paint the bedrooms the same colour as the living area. Would love to hear ideas as lacking inspiration right now!

It’s a dark north facing bathroom and is a good size. In time, we will be knocking into it to accommodate an en-suite in one of the bedrooms. For the moment I’m looking for a wall colour. Wallpaper has been stripped off two walls and I need to cover the shocking pink! I was toying with dark green but when I put up a tester, it resembled frog spawn. I don’t want grey. Any ideas please?
