Bedroom design dilemma

7 years ago

I’m wanting some feedback on something to place between my floor mirror and my dresser, and also shall I but a large arrangement on the dresser or pictures on the wall above the dresser, I already have 2 large pictures on the adjacent wall so I’m not thinking pictures would work

    Please post pix of the bed and picture walls. We're getting an incomplete picture and will be giving poor advice based only half the information about the room.

    From what i could see of the room, here’s my advice. Your mirror is a stunning piece i would bring it more into the spotlight. Take your floor mirror and hang it up horizontally between the plant and dresser. I would invest in a floating shelf (maybe a black one) and place it right below the mirror as you’re ”display shelf” .their really easy to assemble and hang up. Maybe put some candles or flowers on the shelf, as you mentioned that you already have pictures up on the opposite wall. Its the perfect finishing touch your room needs

    That sounds good but what about the dresser, what shall I do there , something on the wall or something placed on the dresser like a large tall arrangement?

    Now that i see the rest of your room it could be hanging up the mirror may not be good because you already have the the two mirrors on the opposite walls so it might be too much. If you don’t hang up the mirror i would suggest leaving it out of the room because right now it’s just standing awkwardly against the wall and it doesn’t look like it has a place. However the floating shelves still seems like a good option. As for your dresser a big arrangement on it would look nicer than something on the wall as you already have so much going on, on your walls.

    Yes I like the idea with the shelving and I’ll move the mirror out but what about below the shelving it will seem too empty?

    If you are worried about the space under the shelves i would suggest a cool floating shelf design there, instead of just one shelf.I attached some pictures as an example but I suggest you look up floating shelves and find a picture that inspires you that you can apply to your room. When your looking at the photos try to notice what they put on their shelves to give you an idea

    As I suggested before you can lit up some candles and flowers. You can also just put up an empty vase or a cool stone/sea shell....

    Do you rent or own?

    I would remove the floor mirror from the room; it doesn't seem to fit here and would work well in a living or dining area, IMO. I'd also remove the small bench and the round table and artificial flower. The bombe chest should be painted in a similar finish as your bedside tables, but you can highlight with some of the gold from the pictures. Then separate the two pictures, hanging one of them centered 5" above the bombe chest on the wall at the foot of your bed. Use the second picture centered 5' above the floor where it is now, but with the larger bench under it.

    Deco enthusiast I think though I would have to centre the second picture on that smaller wall Instead of leaving it where it is?

  • 7 years ago

    Deco enthusiast I don’t think separating the pictures will work because they are too much the exact same print


  • 7 years ago

    Deco enthusiast I don’t think painting the dresser will look great, the whole room is a cream color, that would just add to it, I want some contrast in colors in the room, I already painted this dresser that color and I quite like it but thank u for your ideas

  • 7 years ago

    The fact that your pictures are so similar is the very reason I would separate them. Putting them together calls attention to that fact. Separating them allows them to stand alone. I think the dark drawers on the chest are too much. Your bed is the contrasting element. Re-read my comment about the smaller wall.

    I would move the bombe chest to the smaller wall (not centered probably), painted as deco suggests, with art above it - either something new and the right proportion with the chest or one of the existing paintings. I'd also try it under the window; can't tell about fit for either place; if neither works then on the long wall where the little table is now. Then I'd look for a larger piece for the long wall, maybe a long dresser, a large desk, a beautiful armoire, etc. combined with art above or shelves. I like the desk/shelf combo idea posted above.

    No shelving--that would create another Design Dilemma.

    Great idea to get a larger piece like an armoire or longer dresser for the long wall. You might be able to find a really nice one at a flea market or a consignment store.

    Also, agree that the mirror doesn't work in your bedroom. It's lost on that wall.

    Paint would really help the bombe chest. You could choose a color then pick up that color in pillows and drapes.

    Thank you everybody!

    I just thought having the Bombe chest a darker color I could add darker pillows on the bed for accent color and maybe a throw blanket in a darker color also to bring the that into the room more

    I think your bedding is too fou-fou and frilly for a throw blanket. Those usually work best on tailored bedding. Don't add any more pillows to the bed. It is already a little overboard with them. You have a nice feminine vibe going, but it just needs to be pulled together.

    I don’t mean a throw on the bed just a throw blanket on one of the benches, i Think I’ll move my dresser more in the centre of the wall and simply add a large taller flower arrangement on top. Nopictures on that wall, movethe standing mirror onto the other side of the dresser closer too the door


  • 7 years ago

    And then add a darker pillow to the bed but take away two of my smaller ones that aren’t in the photo, that way it will bring the darker color from the dresser over onto the bed

  • 7 years ago

    For my curtain rod I’m going to take that one down and buy short curtain rods for my curtain panels since I’m not wanting curtains that close then that will take away from seeing a long dark rod going across the upper window

  • 7 years ago

    Shelving on that long wall will look too cluttered in our bedroom, there is already enough going on

  • 7 years ago

    Okay so here is what I did, I’ll post a picture when I get my dresser moved later, I moved one of the pictures onto the wall behind the dresser and added my artificial flowers with tray onto the dresser, moved the mirror onto the smaller wall and took the other picture down, , I’ll post a picture soon!

  • 7 years ago

    I’m waiting for another picture for above the dresser to be delivered soon
