Small master bedroom advice please

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

I am desperate for some advice. We have a very small master bedroom (11'x12') that needs updating. We have a cal king bed that's way too big. New queen bed will arrive next week. Dressers need to stay but everything else can go. I really would like some warmer tones (green, gold, taupe or ?). Would love and appreciate advice on paint, bedding, window treatments & wall decor. I will be replacing ceiling fan as well. We do live in earthquake country, so nothing heavy above the bed. Any advice and input is SO appreciated! Thank you :)

    Dresser need not stay. Queen bed is 60” wide. That leaves you 3’ on either side of the bed. Replace small tables with chests.

    I agree with Aunt above. I would do a drawers bachelors chest/night stand height on one side of bed and a slimmer drawered chest on the other. This way you can do away with the dresser under window and do a small bench. Hang the curtains close to the ceiling to give the room height. The TV height is too high, don't go past the entry door height and go a bit smaller. Do wall mount plug in lighting with swing arms. This way if the side of bed chests are different heights it won't matter. Put a nice painting on bed wall.

    lol word of day is height.

    Thank you for the great comments! Can you post a pic of the different side dresser/tables and where they would go? I really like that idea but can't visualize. I am getting padded-headboard, long curtains, down sizing tv and replacing ceiling fan with much smaller and lighter one. :)

    a queen bed will really help make the room feel bigger, good call. get the largest low dressers to serve as nightstands for either side of the bed. your dressers now are to much for the space. downsizing the tv is a good choice but getting it out of the bedroom is an even better one. the should be some wall space showing beside any dresser you choose so that it doesn't look like you crammed it into the space. pictures from Houzz as examples below

    I honestly think your bedroom is lovely! And with the changes you are implementing, will look even better. I would bring in the warm tones you're looking for with new bedding for the new bed and also curtains if you really want to. Keep it simple. But eventually getting bedside tables with drawers is wonderful for increasing storage. I am at a point in my life where everything practically has to have a storage function.

    Hello, I agree with the previous comment, having storage next to your bed is really useful - actually we are makers of nightstands, especially floating nightstands (www.mybettershelf.com). Drawers are super storage and they can hide away those things that are now present on your tables! We can match both wood and paint color to your existing colors if you want.

    Bachelor chests next to the bed on either side so you can eliminate one dresser will really open up the room. I too love your glass lamps and they would easily mix with a pale taupe in new bedding to warm up the space. Get a simple clean ceiling fan in white to blend with the ceiling. I would eliminate the light fixture on the fan so it doesn't make your ceilings feel low. Once you get your bed, choose your bedding and go from there to pick a new paint color. What color headboard are you getting?

    I think the Euro Sham Pillow would be a great color selection for the room. Sherwin Williams makes a color called Sea Salt that is beautiful. And Benjamin Moore does a color called Ice Cap that is just as lovely. Serene but moody and soft and blurry so walls just sort of fade away.....
