Need help with bedroom and living room

13 years ago
Hii all

I am a man i am 23 yrs old from Dubai and it is the first time to write here. I dont have any experience in interior designing.

I am getting married in August and I want to do something nice for my fiance. My parents gave me their master bedroom with amazing golden furniture which is really expensive and i dont want to change it.

I need help with choosing the color for wallpaper/ paint to match with the existing furniture and curtain color and the floor. In addition I am going to change the hallway to a living room and i need ideas.

Also i have a question, if my bedroom is kind of middleastern furniture , should the living room be the same or is it ok to make more of a modern style.

HELP PLEASE

My thoughts are to make one wall( behind most of the furniture) a dark color like dark brown while all the other walls light brown/ golden. Regarding

    And is this the room too? That is an enormous room.

    I think you should think about hiring a professional designer in your area who can help you with making some good decisions about colours and curtains.
    That is really impressive furniture and it needs the right approach to do it justice.

    Good luck.

    I would paint the room a middle value of gray. I would like for drapes in a gray as well. The furniture is the focal point in this room and the gray would be a good contrast to highlight the floors as well. I would stick to a stripe or or geometric for pattern for more modern feel . Any thoughts from your bride to be on her taste?

    Does your fiancee like the furniture? It may not be to her taste so I would suggest you see whether she likes it, if you have not already found out.

    Soberg, brilliant :-D

    Ask your bride to send you some photos of bedrooms she likes. Based on that, you can get an idea of her taste and try to work around it if you are set on decorating Before she arrives. Where is she coming from or does she live in Dubai, just hasn't moved in yet?
    The furniture is amazing, I would choose a Navy blue to go with this. I think Navy and gold look really great together...Hmmm...I don't have experience decorating around such elaborate and ornate furniture, so I'll have to do some research first.

    So I like the idea of chocolate color for the walls, but it could make the room seem really dark. Will you be hanging out in this room much or just for bed-time? I would pull the greenish color from the chairs and use that as an accent color as well.

    What is your budget? A marble or travertine floor would be nice here...the plaid floor is too much for the room and the furniture. It detracts from the exotic and elegant style of the furniture.

    Gold goes with so many things. And yes, you could add modern pieces into the mix to transition to a more modern room next door. So many different choices. You have a great opportunity. Look at pictures for inspiration of how gold works well with other colors and materials. Pick what you like and get some help executing the concept/feeling. You don't have to use all the pieces in one room if you have another room (which I am guessing you do) to spread some of the gold around. Sprinkle it throughout and get some more modern gold pieces to mix in and round out your concept, if that is where you want to take this.


    Congratulations.

    First of all: Congratulations!
    Second: I agree with soberg. Find out what she likes and don't finish the enitire house yet, a finished romantic bedroom is a wonderful surprise though. Make an ideabook and see if there's a repetitive ambiance in the collected pictures.
    Third: is that room in the pictures the future bedroom? If so, I'd advise you to place the bed in the middle of the room, maybe with the closets backing it with some nice sheer draperies on the backside of the closets, so you make it more cozy and seperate the functional part of the bedroom (dressing, make-up) of the relaxing part (bed). Hope this explanation makes some sense. :)

    Gold goes well with many color palettes. Does your fiance like calm and soothing color or warm and exotic colors? A bedroom is very personal to most people, so you both need to feel comfortable in it.
    Divide your options into the elements and find out what works for you both. You can mix some, but don't over-do it.
    Earth tones; brown, orange, grey, eggplant; wood
    Sky tones: white, pale blue, naturals; wool
    Fire tones: red, black, yellow; stone, iron
    Water: teal, green; marble
    (I just made those up)

    My personal advise would be offwhites, neutrals and seablue colors, because the furniture is so elaborately decorated, it makes a huge statement by itself. A calm bedroom makes us unwind from daily stress. Dreamy colors add to that. A natural dark wooden floor keeps all those light colors grounded.

    Thanx all for ur comments ... I really appreciate it :D

    My fiance likes classic looks so calm colors are more recommended than others but i thought that if i make one wall with chocolate brown behind most of the furniture will show its beaty while keeping the other walls creamy white or light yellow

    And yes this is the bedroom


    And for the floor dark wood and the curtains light gold .

    I need ideas for accessories

    You wish to frame your furniture against such a colour.. You know your furniture stands out anyway. It is quite elaborate.. And then i see navy printed sofa, pistachio chairs, tea pink curtains.. All v different palettes... You could do a calm look with blues-greens. Or more go for splendour with these colours:

    These will work with your curtains & floor..

    Your furniture really needs a better arrangement than current, to help we'll need photos of the two remaibing walls.. I like soberg's suggestions..

    Find some inspiration pics for yourself: note options in colours:

    , this brown is nice as it is not too dark n deep but warm

    Another style if you opt for grey on wall, this way all those diff colours in your room can serve as accent i-e one navy cushion, one tea pink, one pistachio with a white quilt set ( i am assuming your wife will buy the fancier quilt set as is tradition)

    This reminded me of your bedroom furniture. Have a look at the curtains in this photo. Something like that will be beautiful in your bedroom.
    A dark wood floor will make such a difference to the room and really make your furniture stand out.
    I would suggest to get a new chandelier. One with some gold and lots of crystals to create a lighter and sparkly feel.

    I don't think I would do a feature wall, the furniture makes enough of a statement. As for accessories, lamps, floor rug, candles, lots of pillows, and beautiful manchester/bedding, a framed photo of the two of you. Lovely gesture and best of luck.

    I would use the basic palette from this room, it would go perfectly with your beautiful furniture and also would compliment your floorig.

    Philips Paradise Valley photo reminds me, have you thought about painting the middle part of the ceiling in a darker colour? That will create an intimate feel. You could choose a brown, but a dark blue could also be lovely. Blue and brown go very well together. Or a golden ceiling...
