Help for bedroom window dressing please!!
Hi folks,
I am trying to think how to dress the below bedroom window. The room is to be plastered and painted F&B All White, with the coving and popcorn ceiling removed. The room is east facing, so gets morning sun, ie we definitely need something to block the light, but during the day want the full view.
The blinds there at present are just temporary and even though they’re black out, lots of light gets in around the edges, so I don’t think blinds will be enough. Could combine with curtains or go for shutters or…?
If shutters, what colour with aluminium windows? If curtains, fabric suggestions would be great! You can see we have blue and white theme going on.
Thank you, your help appreciated!!

Comments (9)If you are wanting to almost start over, I would paint in a soft blue or soft blue/green or soft green. These colors are restful, soothing and inviting. Wood floors will be great. I would get white bedding and maybe some colorful shams. White will work with anything else. Move the bed in the center of the wall. I would repaint the nightstand white and move it closer to the closet to be able to center the bed. Get another nightstand same height. Or get two new white taller night stands. You could get a small desk to go with the chair. Paint the chair white. Maybe window panels in a semi-sheer woven frint fabric. Place a dressing mirror on the back of the door. Take the colors from the drape for throw pillows on the bed. It will feel bright and fresh, yet restful. Something like this feeling Wall color and bedding...See MoreWindow dressing help
Comments (3)bamboo or woven roman shade in a medium honey color with lots of texture would look lovely, casual but tailored . Not too overpowering for your subtle wallpaper which is beautiful. dont forget privacy liner. most bamboo or matchsticks are see through....See MoreBedroom accessories
Comments (5)How about a traditional sheepskin rug for the floor, this will look great on the wood and is lovely for bare feet when you get out of bed in the morning! As for the curtains and bedding, with grey walls and white furniture, you have the liberty to do as you like. Personally, I would add some pattern with colour in the curtains (nothing too garish!) attached is a pattern by Romo. I would keep the bed linen a plain colour, below is Secret Linen Store, relaxed denim bedding in Graphite Grey then you can add some pattern and colour with cushions and throws. If you like slightly bolder colour patterns, Bluebellgray also do some lovely fabrics in bold but beautiful prints. I hope the suggestions help!...See MoreHelp with a boring bedroom
Comments (23)Adding width BEHIND THE BED - with a headboard (which doesn't have to be a "headboard"; it could be fabric, collection of mirrors, collection of pictures, a farm gate!, small chairs or stools) across the entire width. Matching bedside tables/bookcases/chests/ with LAMPS - useful storage for extra books, extra bedding, etc. CURTAINS always warm up a room. People will always feel colder away from home - provide an extra blanket or duvet to add to the bed. I notice there is no WARDROBE. Not really necessary for overnight guests (provide hooks on the back of the door) but useful for storing your out-of-season coats, etc. There is plenty of room behind the door. Buy one on eBay and paint it to suit your colour scheme....See More

last monthThanks folks.
I think my preference would be solid panel shutters, but I agree a key question would be how thick they will be when fully folded back. In this picture from Shutterly Fabulous, they don't look like they would block the window view much...
Our window is considerably wider that that of course (175cm wide), so it would have multiple panels presumably? Also, what colour do you think? Blue?
Otherwise, I think the blind with side tracks will have to do, though hopefully they make the side tracks in a similar colour to the actual window (i.e. anthracite grey!)? If anyone knows of any, please let me know!

last monthI can’t see the cushions properly but they look like William Morris? Maybe you could look at the willow pattern which comes in different blues? i also like the flax which may tie in with the carpet. Perhaps add a little more of the blue in different stripes for more cushions and throws? i know zara have a number of striped linens but can’t recall the colours but there are quite a lot around
