Master Bedroom Before & After
zthibault
9 years ago
What started out as that very common "new construction tan" as I have begun to call it, has transitioned to a relaxing grey retreat.
I painted the walls and ceiling, swapped the fan for a chandelier, added an electric fireplace to make the room feel cozy, floor to ceiling drapes, a single piece of art, and mirrors behind the lamps.
Please let me know what you think!

Advice for a newbie
Comments (5)I agree with groveraxle, with a small caveat - if you're not very experienced with how paint colors change in different rooms with different light and so on, then I like to try out a couple of samples of colors I THINK I'm likely to want before I go shopping for furnishings/art/etc. (I just paint on thick card or something so I can move the sample around in the room and between rooms.) My reason for this is that it can be quite hard to make some color schemes work in some rooms and I don't want to be in love with a rug/piece of art/etc. and only find out once I try to decorate the room around it that the room itself is fighting me. (For example, my parents have a room which only gets REALLY warm natural light due to the angle of the sun when it hits the windows. So some colors look VERY different in there compared to elsewhere in the house.) For example - I have the idea I probably wanted my new bedroom to be some shade of gray. What I'm going to do is get some sample pots of gray paint that looks appealing to me and test them in the room. Some will probably appeal more than others in the room, so then I'll let those guide me in looking for other items - not trying to match the paint, but looking for a light cool gray versus a darker warm gray, that sort of thing. Then once I have the soft items selected I'll find the exact shade of paint I use from there. (Which might end up being the sample I already had, or might need a custom mix, etc.) I think if you're a designer or do this a lot you start getting a better idea of how rooms will influence colors and can just imagine it, so you don't need to do the first step as much. You can just look at a room and tell things are likely to read warm or cool or whatever....See MoreUpcycle mental block! Can see potential. Help please?
Comments (7)Dear Éilíse Sullivan, the mahogany wardrobe looks like a great project! The image is too small for me to see the details of it; it looks like has glass/metal door at the top part and design details on the draws. If you send me a better quality image and with the door closed I can visualised it for you in any other colour you like if it helps. Replacing part of the furniture (glass) with solid panels covered in wall paper or fabric, using decoupage for the inside of the drawers or muted colours on the outside and brights on the inside ... are all possibility depending in which room you want to place it and what you are going to use it for. Are you going to do it for yourself, just for fun or to sell/present? I would paint the back panel in a darker colour, also the inside of the wardrobe part and all the horizontal and vertical straight lines to frame the different units: draws, 'open shelf' cabinet at the top and door. I would go for wall paper on the inside of the draws, something sympathetic with the darker tone on the back panel ... the handle can stay or be replaced (I need a closer look); they can really give a wist to the furniture if changed. For the choice of colours ... it really depend on where it goes and what you want to do with it. The room's images you posted are quite different in style. You could try to 'blend' the piece in to the room's design scheme by choosing complementary colours or go the opposite and bring in a bold statement. I like bold statements! I found this link with fab images that may help you see how a furniture with more details then a plain one will looks once painted: http://www.pippajamesoninteriors.co.uk/2011/design-post/a-guide-to-shabby-chic-furniture-painting/ Also have a look at this company https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jay-Co/100811059987662?sk=timeline it may inspire you to take a different direction! Have fun and please post an 'after' pic when done, really curios to see the final result! Elena Jackson - Interior & Design...See MoreWhole house re-decor , for sale purposes
