small slanted bedroom

11 years ago

Help please, I'm at a loss. Just moved to Germany and this is our bedroom. Obviously need to paint, but what part? I've never had slanted ceilings..I know about the curtain clips, I need, but what kind of curtains since t

he track slants down? The walls are concrete, so it makes hanging things a bit of a challenge, but not impossible. The nightstands are not staying, they're on own until the of our furniture gets here. The room is about twice as long as what you see here, I just didn't want take a picture because all the boxes depress me. but this is the only place I can really fit the bed because of the built in wardrobes.

    Cozy! To keep the space looking airy, how about leaving the ceiling and slant above the bed a the light color, and doing just the end walls in the color of the bedskirt?

    make sure your bed isnt so far back that you might sit up and hit your head. although you would loose space at the foot of your bed the ceiling will be a bit further away than your nose...

    i hate to be stupid, but is that the door at the end? if not might you put your bed on that wall and have more headroom? thats the way we have our attic guest rooms arranged.

    also, a few fewer bed pillows might make the space more spacious.....

    At the end is actually a window, but I can't really do the bed that way because you have to bend over to walk on that side, also, i have a pack n' play that needs to go beside me

    I put the Euro pillows there my headboard won't fit haha, I need something to keep us scooted down a little so don't hit or when we sit up

    If the bedroom is at least twice as long as you've shown, can you move the bed once you've put away some of the items in boxes? What other furniture will you be adding to the room? Can you provide the full length and width of the room and are there any other features we can't already see (doors, windows) that take up space?

    I have similar bedrooms in our home. Keep the color light/soft and paint walls and ceiling all the same color.

    I wonder if the bed could work in the corner, with a canopy/curtain on both walls [behind the bed]? You'd have to squish a bit to get out of bed. Sort of like this, but is my idea coming across?!

    Or bed perpendicular to window with narrow curtain extending up like this dropping down from ceiling, broadening as looks good.

    I have a solution for you and a right one....grasscloth wallpaper and yes, cover all the angles. This will make the angles not so pronounced and everything will blend. Trust me on this one! There are so many fun colors and textures now with grasscloth wallpapers. Let me know if you need any more help.

    Best,

    Make sure you have a master paper hanger if you are going to use grasscloth on all these angles...could be beautiful with the right installation.

    Definitely, whatever way you go whether it is paint or paper, make all the walls the same.

    Karen had a dormer bedroom for many years and it was so so cozy.

    You will love this room we know!

    Hey there did you find a way to decorate? I also live in Germany with the similar problem

    Use light colors on the walls to keep an open and airy look. I know boxes are depressing, but it would help to see what the rest of the room looks like.

    I completely agree that light colours are the way forward. I'm sure a lighter shade could bring a nice lift to a room with huge potential.
