Help with a small single bedroom with small window

11 years ago

last modified: 11 years ago

My house is Georgian, however I have one small single bedroom that has a small window which has to be at the right side of the bed, which is up against the left wall. How can I get the window to look larger and should I keep the old victorian mahogany bed. The walls have been painted Aged Ivory, similar to a Chamois cloth. Mahogany floorboards. I want a cozy classic feel to the room. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

A picture would really help. Without that I would say to hang drapery panels on either side of the window to add width to it.

Thank you for your reply. However, there simply isnt enought space to the left of the window to hang a drape. A single drape would be effective at R.H.S from high up and pooled on floor. Any ideas for decorating, colours to enhance the Aged Ivory or contrast with it. Bedding, Fabric colours etc.
Again, many 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 also definitely go white if the windows are on the green wall. Will be much more natural to tie the accent wall with the stark wht contrasting walls. Always a very chic contemporary look. Also very relaxing as opposed to the treatments standing out when you already have your standout feature- the green accent wall. Great white bed you ordered! Then I love all the blue/green/ silver accent advice. I did a similar room in purples/greys/ whites and we used great posted prints of florals with a little oriental flair in nice big mats w frames. You could do florals or nice big botanicals in greens would be very fresh and modern!! White or silver frames or maybe even the shock of black would be cool.

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.

Built in storage for a specific need such as this is usually the most effective..if you do not have that option try a closet consultant..if you want more specific questions answered provide more details..pictures...etc

I would think the only solution there is to curtain the whole wall and make that window disappear, then center the bed on the wall, so the curtain acts as a backdrop/canopy for the bed.

Are you English? sometimes a small room can look bigger with all over pattern, say a toile or a floral,,repeat it on the walls, either upholster the walls and use it for drapes, or use the same pattern in a paper as in fabric. It will cozy up the room, and hide any
quirks in the architecture. To put a small shade on the window is to draw attention to it and the fact that your bed is offside. Keep the bed it sounds nice. A small room like that wrapped in pattern is a delight I think.
