Bedsets & Duvet Covers - Ideas
Hey,
Im trying to find some good bedsets or duvet covers but really struggling to decide what direction I should go, the bedroom is going to have this wardrobe:-
and I’ve been thinking of going for an oak finished bed frame:-
The only set that has really caught my eye is a one from Bedeck of Belfast:-
But I don’t know if it will end up making the room look a little too dark and drawn in, should I maybe look to go lighter in the bedding? Change out the bed to an upholstered one? Or possibly scrap the wardrobe idea and start a fresh?
The bedroom is of small/medium size, and strangely has two windows (yellow is a floor to ceiling one and the red one just a small standard 1/2 size).
‘What do you think I should look to do?

3 years agoI think an upholstered bed would soften the room, something on legs would be good as it will make the room feel visually bigger as you can see the floor beneath. However I’m assuming you need some form of drawer storage? If you add bedside tables to the one you chose I’m not sure how easy it would be to access drawers as you’d have little space either side plus obviously the drawer by the table wouldn’t open. Would a gas lift option be a better idea?
Given the wardrobe is dark I also wouldn’t go so dark for the bedding, maybe just In the form of a throw, cushion etc
Something like this bedside table would work with the wardrobe?

Kids Duvet Covers for spare room
Comments (5)My thought is to keep it more open for different ages. Tweens and teens will find the cartoony images too juvinile. I'd go with fun colors to appeal to different ages and genders. Here are some ideas Ideas for more neutral kids' rooms http://houzz.com/photos/3979597 http://houzz.com/photos/139013 http://houzz.com/photos/5351332 http://houzz.com/photos/3275064 http://houzz.com/photos/2082108 http://houzz.com/photos/375630 http://houzz.com/photos/891164 http://houzz.com/photos/5999484...See MoreColour scheme for Bedroom to co-ordinate with Duvet
Comments (8)With the wood trim, and a white crown . .. I think the duvet color scheme wants white painted skirting and window / window sill. Then, try a softer violet on the accent wall .. .since both the red or the blue could coordinate with that but otherwise we have opposites - As a backdrop, violet can be nice with gray and white. Look at bm faded violet http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/fadedviolet#ce_s=violet and bm picket fence for the other walls, ( a soft warm off white that echos the tone of the carpet) with crisp white trim. http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/picketfence If you want a deep shade, look at wood violet .. http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/woodviolet#ce_s=violet the thing with a small room is that a shot of intense color can do a lot if paired mostly with neutrals and white. Great if you have a white wood headboard or padded slipcover above the bed, white matted art. . .. you do have good natural light, but with a dark wall you will want bedside lighting to be light and bright for nighttime. Here, the wood provided a gold element that was sort of helpful with the blue but will clash with where you are going.. Paint it out, and voila, you are on your way. . . there is a thread where a woman focused on white with coral - I'll find it and bring you the link so you can follow her decision making - she chose a strong accent wall in a small room and then concentrated on white and it is lovely....See MoreWhich frames for above the bed?
Comments (103)Hi snan - to address your questions: 1 - yes, the lamps work very well. With regard to the height of the larger lamps: do you know how high they would be? If the bottom of the lampshade is even with the top of the pillows that should work. If they are taller than that I think you will be okay with the smaller lamps. Look back again at some of the pictures above to see what I mean. The thing that will look odd would be if the top of the lamps were taller than your headboard. The idea is that when you are in bed reading a book that you want the light to be able to reflect down. As far as the lampshade size goes on the smaller lamps I'm thinking the shorter ones since they don't seem to drop down as far as the larger ones. 2 & 3-Definitely chair by the mirrored bedside locker with one white locker on the other side. Without question. The chair to the left of the bed gave the room life. Use the extra white one in a closet or another room. You don't want to overcrowd your room when you are going for a tranquil setting. 4-Absolutely okay to have bedside tables that don't match and look good in the room. Whether or not you like that is a personal preference though. I would only put the mirrored one next to the bed though if you have the chair next to it. It's how they play off each other that makes it work. If you don't keep the chair next to the bed then I would use both white tables beside the bed. It is also fine that the pictures are off-centre to the wall as long as they are centered to the bed. :)...See Morebedroom
Comments (2)Colourwise I would look at apportioning your colours like so… Soft warm grey on the walls. If this is possible, tie in a subtle paper on one wall in similar colour. If a carpet is needed, just a shade down from the walls, to ground it but retain the soft base grey. Small amount of brown in dark wood, on furniture. But try and keep it light. No chunky dark woods. Choose slim legs and profiles. All loose fabrics such as floor length curtains, or roman blinds. Duvet cover, pillow cases, keep white. Accents on trims, cushions and accessories, can be quite flexible here. Could be mustard, or fuschia. But choose one colour that works and stick to it. Then just try to have soft textures in keeping with a cosy bedroom. Looking through to the en-suite. You can expand on you accent colour here, and use that to invite you in. One wall painted fuschia, or statement glass tiles. But you want the view in to be inviting. Try and use that if you can. I hope that helps....See More

3 years agoI recently bought a divan bed from Dreams, my goodness it is so comfy! I kept my mattress as it wasn’t very old, but the Dreams divan base is so supportive. I bought one with 2+2 continental drawers, which basically means one set of drawers is large, and the 2 near the headboard are smaller so you can easily open them without hitting the bedside tables. Pictures below. In my search most upholstered beds are pale grey, charcoal or beige although my one also came in Blush pink and mint green. I chose pale grey as I felt it would go with most decor. You then have a choice of headboards.
As to bedding, I do usually go for white but decided on a flowery botanical one this time, not your cup of tea I think! I’ll have a look round. Below is my headboard, then the divan base with the 2+2 continental drawers. They provide lots of storage.

You could just go a different neutral for bedding, this is a prewashed linen set, great to add texture (and nice to sleep in) and no ironing needed 😀 There are quite a few linen sets around atm at different price points

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoThank you everyone for the replies, I’ve checked a few of the other bedding sites mentioned and there are a few other alternatives which pull from a lighter // warmer palette so I should be able to move away from the darker stuff (although I did think I could just order two sets and see how they look once on the bed/in the room).
I would definitely like a feature/textured wall behind the bed, I had been considering a DIY panel:-
But I think a good textured wallpaper could offer something just as nice.I’ll be putting carpets down for the upstairs of the property (wood in the downstairs), I haven’t settled on a colour but will most likely go for a single colour on each floor where possible (not sure if I should go light or dark but leaning towards lighter floorings, I can always introduce rugs to add more depth / colour).
I think they look nicer than the first but would probably pass due to them being glass, I’ve had my days of cleaning glass furniture every hour so now avoid it wherever possible lol!).
What is the bedding set? Also has anyone shopped with Secret Linen Store before? they seem to have a few interesting offerings:- https://www.secretlinenstore.com/bed-linen/duvet-covers
Thanks again for all of the helpful replies!

3 years agoI was going to suggest a panelled wall but then thought you might be slightly restricted on where to hang art assuming you want a mirror too. A part panelled wall could work too?
was the question to me around the bed bits as everything was from a different shop?
I finally had carpets fitted upstairs 3 weeks ago and found it a nightmare finding a carpet that wasn’t a shade of grey or a yellow cream! I’d go light ish and keep them the same for the top floor

3 years agoI’m a big fan of wall panelling plus also love the modern reeded panelling for texture.
I’ve attached the links but can’t remember where I found the mustard cushion and a reverse image search brings up a German company! Zara Home and H&M are normally good places for bed things at a good pricehttps://www.bloomingville.com/en/products/living-room/cushions/varekort/ebrar-cushion-brown-cotton
