Home Decorating Design Dilemma Bedrooms

Blank Canvas Bedroom- need help

last year

Hi guys! We've just moved into our new house. As you can see its pretty much a blank canvas and we are desperately in need of some design inspiration for our bedroom. It looks quite bland at the moment so were wondering if anyone may have some suggestions for curtains/wallpapers just to add a bit of colour so its not quite so monotone. We have not yet bought the bedside tables/dressing table, but were looking at the Next Valencia stuff https://www.next.co.uk/style/st314163/c99817

Any suggestions would be really gratefully received as we're both rubbish with interior design.

It does depend on what style you like. Do you want a glamorous room, or scandi style or a cute country style? I think blush pink would go nicely, or a wallpaper on the wall behind the bed. Here’s some ideas. If you hate them then I’ll have another look for something more in your style!

I assume by the bed and valencia pieces it’s a 1920/30s glam style you like?

if so a banana leaf paper springs to mind but may not be your thing!

As Sonia said details of the style and inspiration pics would help

Agree with everything Vikrant Sharma Homez said. My input: - An alternative needs to be found for the hulking bookshelf. - Take extra time and care to choose appropriately-sized furniture for the room. - Consider a roman shade or roman shades for the window seat windows. - Remove sheers - Improve lighting. Can you get recessed installed? - Edit accessories and choose only those which provide a lot of impact. A bunch of little things just looks like clutter. I like to do the following exercise. Go around the room and touch every single thing in the room one time. Think about each item you touch. Then, after you've finished, ask yourself what you can remove. Remove those items. It seems weird, but it's a great way to ensure that you clear clutter. - Incorporate some living things in the room (plants & flowers)

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.

sorry haven't been on here much and havent had time or money to much about my room but should be getting to work in the next few weeks/month. I've added some more photos to give a better idea of the layout of the room and the dimensions. the first one is a view from the bed or the foot of the bed, so you can see the wall space isn't massive. The horrible curtains are waiting to be changed when I get all the work done! The second photo is the other wall to show where the door to the room is. Carolyn the wardrobe in the photo there is the one I'm going to put in the nook and then I was thinking of getting a carpenter to build shelving on the wall where the wardrobe currently is. Around the bed then would be more storage and shelves either side to act as bedside tables. As anyone any ideas for the type of shelving I should be looking to get built? I would be looking to hold - clothes that wouldn't be hanging like jumpers, t-shirts etc. I would definitely need an area for books/magazines, an area for toiletries and maybe then storage for items such as bed linen, blankets and random items like chargers for phones, laptops etc.

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.

A rich wallpaper as others suggest, feature lamps in keeping with your preferred style. Personally I would try and get your TV up onto the wall to give more space on whatever furniture you have below.

Were you plannig on having the dressinbg table more in the bay window? If not, I'd go for a low level radiator there and build a lovely window seat over.

It’s a nice big room to play around with. Those bedside tabkes are expensive, but if you do decide to purchase them l would take the gold accents out of them and add a dark colour on the walls to compliment it. Perhaps dark green or dark blue?

Hi Alex, have you considered a wall mural? If you want to make a big impact with some serious wow factor this can be a great way to do it! Feathr have a great selection and their products are super easy to put up.

This space is such a great size, so there are endless options but our advice is to find out how you want the room to feel before you make any decisions. You may fall in love with some incredible wallpaper but once it's up you can feel disappointed if it's not creating the vibe you wanted.

If you want some inspiration or more ideas then our latest blog on bedroom colour schemes may be helpful to you but we invite you to book a free call with us to see how we may be able to help you with your bedroom.

Oh wow thanks so much for the replies, guys! Greatly appreciated! We’ve bought some dark wood furniture from Danetti to offer a bit of contrast. Still undecided on the curtains. Will post pics when it’s all been done! Thanks so much
