Finishing touches on bedroom makeover

7 years ago

I recently painted our bedroom and added a wood feature wall. As well we upgraded to a king size bed and finished with new bedding. As you can see the room is not yet complete, new doors are next and then we can finish trim. I will also be looking for a small accent chair for the corner (where the white little table is now). I was hoping to get some feedback and ideas for some wall decor. I don't like a ton of stuff covering the walls but a few pieces here and there to put the finishing touches to this room! I would love to have the TV hidden somehow behind a picture or something. I am also wondering about adding curtain panels, perhaps just one to outside of each window. Sadly the bed has to be off center with the windows (poor layout) and worried that curtains might highlight that even more so.

Thank you!!

    Pretty wall colour! Sorry, not understanding why does the bed have to be off-centre?

    The odd corner you can see in the second picture does not allow enough room to walk by the bed if it is centre between the windows.

    And thank you! I was happy with how the wall colour turned out, it was Rhino by Behr.

    Duh. I see that now. Unfortunate. I imagine you tried the bed against your wood wall?

    Anyway, your question was about wall art. My advice: shop Etsy or ebay or try sites like 20 x 200, Minted, Daily Painters, etc. to find something original you LOVE.

  • 7 years ago

    Yes, unfortunately it did not work there either.

    Thank you I have been keeping an eye for pieces I love, harder to find when you are actually looking rather than browsing. I will check out 20 x 200 as I have not heard of it yet!

    There is ROOM! Bet me on it. That's a thirty ??? inch outside casing widow width.

    You have room. The drywall in your photo , behind the bed is almost identical to the overhang of headboard on the other window.

    Found a short list of affordable art sources in a Better Homes & Gardens mag. Besides the one mentioned:

    Artfinder.com

    Danhobdayart.etsy.com

    Jennysprintshop.com

    modeaprints.etsy.com

    printablesociety.com

    society6.com

    thepeoplesprints.etsy.com

    theprintablestudio.etsy.com

    tinyshowcase.com

    urbanoutfitters.com

    Good luck! The fun is in the search. ;-) If I think of other sites, I'll come back and add.

    I see what you mean Jan, there is room between the windows for the bed. However the corner that you can see in the second picture does not allow for it, you wouldn't have enough room to get around the side of the bed.

    What is the WiIDTH of the window?! If the window is thirty inches wide?! You will have 30 inches right of the bed . Plus the drywall inchrs right side of the window!!!

    Jan, look at the foot of the bed, second pic. There’s a jog in the wall. That’s what Brit is trying to explain.

  • 7 years ago

    2pups4me, yes thank you that was what I was trying to say. I can see the confusion if you are just looking at the first picture. The bed has to be where it is. I would love to hear ideas on what may look nice for art work, shelves, or something above the bed given that it does have to be off centre.

  • 7 years ago

    i might want draperies across that entire wall behind the bed. Off center would drive me nuts.

    That's a good idea, Kate.

    Cream curtains pulled across would lessen the off-center problem.


    Art work on your big wall might be evening skyscapes.

    Thanks everyone for all of the ideas! Would love more inspiration for wall decor that anyone might have :)

    How about some pretty metal wall art like this, although there are dozens

    Too bad you didn't check in here first for your wood accent wall. The accent wall would be best on the window wall. The wood horizontal shape would help with the offset situation. I don't really get doing that wall with wood. So that means you have stained wood, painted wood and wood stained light or painted? on the wall. I would consider wallpapering the wall with the windows in birch tree look. Then adding sheers at the windows. Help create a "cottage" look. Hang some wood similar to your doors color on the wood wall. That will help tie your woods together. Lots of options out there.

    Something with some dimension that appeals to you. No art over bed as this will draw attention to the "offset" situation.

    Will you please draw this room to scale ( 1/4 inch to a foot ) and neatly, with all doorways, jogs, turns, windows, window location and dimensions for all of the above ? You'd be helping yourself, and us.: )

    Thanks for your input flo, I was not needing input on my wood wall but nice of you to share your opinion. The reason I did not do the window wall is because it would have required a great deal of extra time to make it work around the Windows. As you can see its cased in drywall, I could not just go over the drywall with the wood, I would have had to rip the drywall back etc. I am a stay at home mom who enjoy small Reno projects and not an interior designer or contractor. There was a large crack in the drywall on the wall I did in wood,, so for me it made sense to pick this wall to cover. I love my room and how it turned out, simply looking for some others to share some ideas of wall decor not diss what I have done. As I mentioned above in my original post the doors are still yet to be changed and will no longer be wood.

    Jan thank you, I know you are trying so hard to help with the off center bed lol. I obviously would like it to be center but it simply can't work anywhere else, believe me I have tried. I am just looking for thoughts on wall decor and curtains. I don't have the time to do a scale drawing

    I think you might replace the lamp on right side with a plug in extension light. Then do a complimentary-lamp on other night stand lower and on nightstand. This asymmetrical approach would help with the offset. Do inside mount roman shades with this approach.

    Sorry if I offended you Brit. With the additional information about why you did the shiplap or wood wall I understand your logic. I did a mock up to address your questions but Houzz postings are messed up. I will try again.
