Master bedroom arrangement

10 years ago

Not yet competed, but I'll soon have to tell the movers what furniture to place in the new master bedroom addition.

I seem to have lost 6 inches on the window wall in this construction likely due to wall width, so I wonder about using the two 33" wide nightstands/chests that I brought with me when I downsized.

The two pieces are too heavy for me to play around with by myself and I don't want to drive the movers crazy!

The room is 12'6" x 12'6" -- tiny when compared to the 15x17 bedroom that used to hold this furniture.

The king bed consists of a white cane headboard, no footboard, but it is a bed frame with legs.

One nightstand/chest is mahogany and the other is painted in muted earth colors. If they weren't in storage, I could post photos.

Is this too tight to squeeze in wall-to-wall?

I added a TV credenza (currently in my living room) on the opposite wall, but I've never had a TV in the bedroom. Now that I'm alone, I'm considering that option.

While you're looking, I have textured woven cane shades in natural and Pottery Barn cotton curtains in natural to layer over the shades.

I have antique bronze (nearly black) hardware from Pottery Barn. I'm wondering if that is the right hardware color (I was steered that way by customer service in the store). The hardware is still boxed, so I can exchange as 30 days haven't passed. (The PB website is malfunctioning right now, so I can't add links. I'll try again later.)

The overhead chandelier is over-sized, open trellis drum in a steel color that uses candelabra bulbs.

The walls are painted in Sherwin-Williams "natural linen" and the trim is "Glass of Milk" (an old Martha Stewart white that I used for trim in my previous home and had the formula mixed for this house.)

Thanks!

I found this bedroom on Phoebe Howard's website. The proportions on the window wall look similar, though her room is bigger.

My bed.

My PB curtains and rods.

My light fixture.

My color scheme inspiration, also Phoebe Howard:

I love your inspiration pictures! Even with the smaller room, I think your tables should fit. If the wall measures 150", your furniture will fit (king bed+tables= 147" right?). Any chance you could switch to a queen size bed? It is a lovely bed!

I have never had a tv in the bedroom-I might never get out of bed! Ha.

I would enjoy seeing pictures when you get everything put together. Your colors sound and the bed and chandelier are wonderful. Not sure about the dark hardware (door handle and hinges?), but it could look great. I would want to see it with the other elements. You could always decide once things are moved into the room.

Hope you love it all!

Go to the big box home store and invest in many, many "Moving Men" furniture sliders. Have your IRL moving men put all your furniture on the sliders and you can re-arrange furniture after they leave all by yourself and as many times as you need to. When you have the furniture exactly where you he want it, you can lift each corner one-at-a-time to kick the sliders out from under (or leave the sliders in place until you have someone to help remove them).

Re: TV in the bedroom: we haven't had one in the bedroom for 10 years, and I miss it, mainly when DH travels. I just really like watching late nite tv through my toes lol! We used to watch the opening monologues together; now, though, his schedule is a good 2 hours off from mine :( Also, we have a queen bed which is plenty big especially when I'm alone, so consider that someday. I'm going to get myself a little tv for the bedroom after Christmas :)

My husband and I bought a split-king sleep number bed a few months before we knew he had terminal brain cancer. It was far too expensive for me to give up. Also, since it is a motion bed, it was like having a hospital bed for him. It has a lounge setting for watching tv.
