Design inspiration for our master bedroom?
11 years ago
I'm looking to start decorating our master bedroom and I need some inspiration/ideas. It's HUGE-- I think it's 375ish square feet, which I think is why I feel so overwhelmed by it. The 2 big dressers and night tables are new, and were just delivered today-- they are espresso. We are replacing the bed with an upholstered bed, which has yet to be ordered (and color yet to be determined, but I want it to contrast with the espresso pieces). The area by the 3 big windows will be a seating area, but we haven't even begun to look at furniture for it yet (a chaise lounge, maybe?)
Where I'm stuck is what color scheme I want to go with. The carpet is grayish, and the walls are greige, but I wouldn't mind painting. I would love for this room to have a warmer, cozier feel. The rest of the house is very white and bright with lots of grey and blue (I love blue, and I have to stop myself from literally doing the whole house in blue). I like the idea of doing very feminine, white bedding... Think white, pintuck, almost flouncy type bedding. Any ideas for other accent colors? I've looked at hundreds of pictures and nothing really strikes me.
Thank you in advance. Also, excuse the horrible pics and the messy space. The room is actually fairly bright during the day.

11 years agome too, lets see if we have some other things though
See you don't need the roof work, but the softness of the bed, some floral, gives a feminine touch
This is far more tailored, but could look great if you had a little softer in the linens

11 years agoI would put some curtains up to soften the feel of the room, and add some texture and dimension to it. After that I'd find some art work to go over the bed and on the larger walls. Focus on things that reflect your personality rather than just choosing a piece of art because of the color.
I agree navy blue is a great color, especially if you go with a navy that is more of a stone washed jeans color so it isn't so dark that it overwhelms the room. I painted part of the bedroom I use as an office Behr's Mystic Forest that is a light navy along with their Grape Leaves green, and love it.

PRO11 years agoI would be inclined to confine the blue to bedding, drapery, lamps, accessories & artwork.

11 years agoYour room right now is very dull, boring. Go with a coral or a cobalt (rather than navy) blue. With a navy, your lovely new wood pieces will get lost. With your new pieces avoid going with anything matching. Have different side tables next to your bed. Leave one that you have there & move the other one to the sitting area you plan to develop.

- 11 years agoQuick question: I definitely want to do drapes on the big windows in what will be the seating area, but what about the windows that flank the bed? What is the best way to do drapes on small windows like that? Tie backs?
