Need Help Decorating Master Bedroom and Bathroom

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

So we already bought the bed below and are just trying to decorate around it. Would also like to put in a shower in bathroom but can't figure out exactly where.
Master Bedroom

    Did you have any colours in mind? As it is the biggest surface in the room, I usually advise to buy the bed cover first, and take the room colours from that.

    Do you have pictures of the space?

  • 11 years ago

    hi again chookchook2. no, no colors in mind. @ imlost119, the Master Bedroom link above the picture. thanks.

    Yes, don't be afraid of colour, just don't have a stimulating colour looking at you as you lay in bed. Behind the bed head is fine.

    @chookchook2:

    pffffft... ;-)

    When you are tired, you will sleep, regardless of the color you choose. Sorry. Had to go there. teehee.

    I bow to the pro, don't know if the OP ever gets insomnia, may not be an issue for them.

  • 11 years ago

    Speaking of which, you will smack my hand, it is after 12.30 am here, so goodnight from me.

  • 11 years ago

    Thank you so much. I think I AM going to go with bold color sorroundings and muted furniture. I'm thinking monochrome and stick with grey for vanity and carpet and dark blue or royal purple for accent wall?

  • 11 years ago

    oh, oh, i try to be fair, but if you go to my idea books you will find them loaded with blue, I adore all blues, except baby blue, uggghhh. help yourself if it helps.

    oh yeah: naughty naughty chook, she never remembers and it is her idea! lol

    come on, tell us where you live

    Temitope, I think the colours you chose sound very nice.

    Sounds fun. I particularly like the purple idea. "Go big or go home" ;-)

  • 11 years ago

    Daniel, my hubby has that attitude with cakes and donuts ;)

  • 11 years ago

    You mentioned dark blue


  • 11 years ago

    wow. been crazy over here. definitely thanks for this.been a nightmare finding a decent vanity though... do i even need one?


  • 11 years ago

    This is very strange ... I pull this up and find my own avatar at the top. Anyone else seeing it? I didn't put it there, honest.

    A touch of red can be wonderful with purple, if you want to bring a bit of your living area in to the bedroom.

    Do you mean a vanity for your bathroom? No bathroom pic here?



  • 11 years ago

    I'm not seeing it. It has happened before, I first noticed people complaining in 2013.

  • 11 years ago

    i am thinking vanity for her bedroom - dressing table

  • 11 years ago

    Thanks, Chook. It's gone now.

    Temitope, the need for a dressing table in the bedroom depends entirely on your habits, I think. I like to have my cosmetics and mirror in my bedroom, but lots of people have the storage and lighting they need in their bathroom. Then it turns from "do I need one" to "do I want one". Your bedroom might look bare without one -- or perhaps some kind of chest of drawers -- or it might not.

  • 11 years ago

    well, i need somewhere to curl my hair and that's it. I currently do this at the bathroom sink but sometimes i'd like to be able to sit. Also, as you probably saw from the video,

    You need a PowerPoint there then.

    Have you looked at the Malm dressing tables by Ikea. I know Ikea is often kind of frowned upon but this table is one I've heard used by many designers due to its clean lines and good size. Just a thought. I'm looking at it for my master as well as part of a small redo.

  • 11 years ago

    Yes, that is a good piece.

  • 11 years ago

    I love ikea. we have the malm bedroom set in the usa lol. never thought about that.


  • 11 years ago

    This is just an example of what I mean rather than a specific suggestion (though I like it), but I think you could look for a table, something like this, with just those shallow top drawers, and then buy the mirror separately. A lot of dressing-table-with-mirror combinations are pretty dull.

    Lighting is so important and often the last thing on the list. Attached is a sconce that would look great on a wall with this bed. A nice contrast to the modern lines of the bed. More at Lightsculptures... www.tjferrie.com


  • 11 years ago

    thanks to both. I'm realising i'm probably better off doing it separately.

  • 11 years ago

    realizing


  • 11 years ago

    Where I live, it's realising.

  • 11 years ago

    Please explain to an Aussie?

  • 11 years ago

    The spelling? SA has standardised (in publishing) on the "s" spelling for realise, organise, etc, though one wouldn't think so when one edits the writing of South Africans, who actually seem to prefer the "z". Or that could be their spellchecks messing with what they type.

    so when the living room rug arrived, it wasn't the color I wanted but happened to fit rather will with the bedroom I think

    Okay so to recap, this is how the bedroom below was https://www.dropbox.com/s/5djuqv4o0d1hq2u/2015-06-23 16.14.05.mp4?dl=0

    I like minimal but it's still missing something...
