Help with bedroom makeover

13 years ago
I've always imagined my bedroom to be warm and inviting. I want to paint, hang pictures on the wall.. Im moving the dresser to the closet. As you can see the room is not that big. Im undecided on the paint color, rugs and any accessories. My design style would be modern contemporary. Please help? I need to jazz up my bedroom.
Thanks
Muana

    Love the picture of the flower! I would paint the room a beige color. Get a new bedding set with colors in the picture ,( red, redish brown,or rust in color). Get a lamp in brushed nickel and a lamp shade in one of the colors mentioned. Instead of three pillows in back at the headborad, use just two regular ones and place two more in front of them. Then add one or two accent pillows in the colors in the picture. Then it will be warm and inviting. I can see and feel it.

    I love all of your architectural details and moldings! I think that it would look great if you were able to do a gallery wall on the wall that you have the poppy painting on. That would fill up the wall, and add more visual interest and meaning to the room. I also think that you should get new bedding and a bedside lamp. In your room, it could be really pretty to do a layered neutral scheme. The walls light beige/griege, the bedding layered beiges and creams with a lot of texture, and then some neutral sparkly pillows! Also, get a really cool lamp! It would look nice to do a bronze lamp. There are TONS of great rugs out there! I love most of the ones on West Elm, which would add more pattern to the room. Also, I know that it sounds strange, but I would paint those moldings semi-glossy charcoal gray or chocolate brown. It would just make the room look amazing, cozy, and unique, and highlight your great moldings! Hope that helps, and good luck!

    To make it warm, choose colors that are warm on the color scale, such as as a sandy gold, tan or wheat. Layered bedding such as in the photo below will give it a comfortable and inviting feel.

    You may even consider an upholstered head board to up the comfort level.

    if I move the bed in front of the window, then I will not be able to access my closet. Im loving the gray paint idea for the walls, I still need help on what kind of rugs, and drapes I would choose.

    Here are a few options for bedding and rugs. They're all at West Elm. If you decide to go with the grey walls, I can see these working very well. I like the plum and yellow accents against a warm grey wall color. A cushy shag rug is simple but cozy. Simple curtains in a color similar color to the walls, will provide less contrast - a good thing for small rooms.

    The rug in Manon's post is a cut-pile rug. Much easier to keep clean than a full shag rug. The less dust in the sleeping space, the better!

    I would make walls and bedding light colors and make the wall with picture strong accent with bright colors or images painted. see some pictures here or on www.ulianka.com

    muana, I'm noticing your paint samples are too blue. if you want to do blue it needs to be much more gray to go with your diamond pillows. also, I can't really see the actual color of your duvet? or blanket? If you are keeping that piece, along with everything else, it would be good to have either a better photo or an explicit description from you. Just saw your newest photos. The top cover is different from what you had before? The diamond pillows are not looking as though they work with the new duvet? Is it just the photo, my monitor or is that a fact?

    You have a beautiful room to work with. I just completely my bedroom and I love it. I did it in birds and colorful frames. If you would like to see it let me know.

    Muana, have you decided to use the turquoise patterned bed covering? If so, you need to change the other bed linens.

    You have a nice headboard. I see you do not have a reading lamp by the bed; do you use all of your pillows when you sleep? Perhaps two European 24" square pillows would be adequate for sleeping. A wall mounted lamp with a swing arm will allow you to use the entire surface of your nightstand.

    The blue of the draperies and rug go well together, but should now be moved to another room.

    You say you would like modern contemporary, but the turquoise bed covering is reminding me of Bohemian style. Please look at Houzz at these categories, and then post your thoughts. I am confused.

    Your first word to describe your room is WARM, yet you have chosen a cool color. Maybe tone it down with more of a yellow green tone aqua. Add some deep reddish brown wood tones or even a goldn wood tone if you don't want to go real dark. It will create a cozy feeling for you.

    I think an aqua wall color would look pretty with your turquoise bed covering.

    Thanks everyone for your input. At least I now have some solid ideas to set the ball rolling.

    I would very much like to see progress photos and an "after" photo.
    Best wishes.
