Help with bedroom!

We recently moved into our new home but have not started decorating our bedroom. It is a blank slate, but has cream carpet and our master bath is very brown. I love cool tones, white, restoration style with feminine elements. I'm trying to marry our bedroom style with the rest of the home and need help! Any ideas?? Would be open to wallpaper, painting etc. Photos of kitchen to get vibe of house, bedroom and master bath. Trying to spend less than $5k or so on furniture.

    Hire a professional to do your master. They are well worth the money and a master should be the most beautiful, serine place in your home. I highly recommend a designer For that space.

    I think your biggest obstacle is the tile in your master bathroom as well as the carpet in the master bedroom. You love cool tones but both of those are not cool. Very peachy warmish tannish. Is the $5K for your furniture only? Will you have a budget for the decor, wallpaper or paint, bedding, lighting etc on top of that? Is you actual mattress and box spring on the floor? Or will your mattress need to be purchased as well? What are the dimensions of the room? Can you sketch out the floor plan of the room with dimensions? Take pictures of all sides of the room? It looks like you have a lot of ground to cover there, windows, bedding , furniture, and once you answer my many questions probably more.

    Our budget is $5k including paint, lighting etc. Our mattress is on the floor now, we don't need to purchase a new one :)

    Buy a bed with a headboard and move bed to between the windows. Are you content with the current white bedding?

    You can make your own headboard since you’re tight on budget, paint the vanity a bone color. Are you planning on ripping the carpet out or planning on purchasing a rug to place over it in the bedroom? Curtains? New nightstands? In the kitchen personally where that wall sticks out I would build a banquet seating or have round table at the dining area.

    Looks like if you center the "bed" between the windows, the chaise will really crowd the room. Can we see more of the room? Is the bed the first thing you see when entering the room? Once you get your bedroom and bedding understood, then we can talk about window treatments and the bathroom. I think a pretty aqua/blue color for bedding and some wall paint in that color in the bathroom would tie things together and you can save for more renovations when the budget allows. Concentrate on the Bed. Do you want something more "contemporary" or "transitional". You could do a simple platform bed with low headboard and a couple low night stands. Are you tall people, medium or short people. Use that to size the height of the bed with box springs and mattress. Your floor seems to be the "box spring" now! Hey we all start somewhere.

    Just looked at your idea books and they seem to show you favor neutrals for bedding and furnishings. So find bedding you love first.

    Yes, the bed is the first thing you see when you enter the room. I agree and want to purchase the bed first before nightstands, dresser, lighting and any other furniture. We are keeping the carpet and I would put a rug over it. I prefer white bedding/neutrals but wouldn't mind some pops of color. (Though with two dogs and two babies under 2 white is probably not the best, lol!)

    White bedding is great because you can wash it super hot, even bleach it if you have to due to busy family life...
