Bedroom time! Help me fill in these blanks!

I re-upholstered the headboard myself, and curtains have been ordered. Pics below. What next?

    Nice job on the headboard. Maybe consider drapes, art on the wall next to bed, a chair (if you have room). The tv feels odd and high..I would lower and balance the space for a more attractive look.

    The lamp shades blend in with the wall, though I'm sure they look better when on. I might swap them out for black lamp shades. Or you could try putting mirrors behind them.

    That and curtains or roman shade and some art above the headboard. You might consider bringing in an accent color with the art, and repeating it in an accent pillow and shams.

    Agree about moving the t.v. down lower.

    Beautiful job on your headboard.
    The TV is too high. Put it at eye level (side on the bed to decide "eye level") over a chest or long dresser.
    Replace the fluffy comforter with a smoother spread or duvet cover. And you can sew it!
    Art is appropriate in a bedroom....above the bed and on other walls as available.

    Perhaps artwork, a chandelier, and window treatments. Also perhaps hang the TV lower or invest in some sort of credenza to put below it.

    Others have given you good suggestions. If you're up to it I would consider painting those closet doors the same color as the wall. Right now they really stick out so having them blend in would make your decor be the focus, not the wall of white doors.

    Yes, it is nicely done. Yet, I couldn't live in this absence-of-color-room. Isn't there any spark of color, that you could live with? I imagine this is what the total colorblind see.

    I totally disagree with Sina in painting the doors gray as well. Leave them as is, to not create a total coffin.

    What is good about TV height in living room, does not work in bedroom. So leave TV on the current height if you want to watch it comfortably.

    I’m having the tv lowered a bit this week. Curtains on order. Gotta change out those grey lampshades. Can’t find wall decor or pillows I like. I guess when I see it, I’ll know. I’m thinking plum.....?

    Plum would be very nice. Happy you dare to have some color in the room. Maybe it is easiest to find the right art and then shop for the right pillows to combine with them. A room doesn't need much color to liven up. Your plum spark will make the whole room come alive. Congrats.

    My curtains arrived today. I ordered the longest ones 96” but they don’t touch the floor! Is it ok or do I have to lower the rod

    I would add a little something under the tv. The floating shelf or shelves look good. Add some art over the bed. Maybe a rug and pillow or pillows on the bed. Maybe a touch of color in the rug, art and pillows.

    I would lower the rod.

    You can beef up the curtains by adding another panel on each side.

    Nice job! The headboard is awesome and I love the glam of the bedside tables and lamps with the mirrors.
  • 8 years ago
    Yes, you should lower the curtain rod or add a fabric trim to the bottom...satiny fabric to match the comforter.
    Is the tv still way up at the door tops? If you insist on keeping it there, a 7-drawer lingerie dresser under it may help it look better.
    The rest of the room is glamorous and beautiful. I have changed my mind about the fluffy comforter now that you have added the other pretty touches.

    Change the bedding to introduce some COLOR in the room. This fascination with everything gray is just too depressing, even in a room that you are going to sleep in.

    Easy fix: buy some fabric paint and paint your lampshades plum.
  • 8 years ago

    fascination? LOL there are TONS of neutral bedrooms out there without any color! seriously... one size does NOT fit all!

    Looks good. You need some darker throw pillows. Picture above the bed.

    I wish the mirrors are taller with the same width.
