Help with Master Bedroom design

6 years ago

Hello!


I would like some design help with my Master bedroom. We have a very awkward shaped room, especially with the lower wall you will see in the photos below. I try to put wall art on them but it always seems to just bring more attention to a weird part of my room... but then again looks too empty with nothing. I was thinking of possibly a build in wardrobe center of some sort? Would that look good?


That lowered wall is attached to our walk in closet... my husband put that door on that wall because when we moved into the house, initially the only way to get into the walk- in closet was through the sunroom (we have double windowed doors to enter that room) however that room is not properly vented so gets cold and hot so we didn't want that to be the only access to the closet.


Looking for any ideas, I want to walk into my bedroom and feel calm and happy, but right now it is just an eye sore to me. Thank you Houzz Community!

    Why not something like this


  • 6 years ago

    I see.. so you suggest moving our bed to the lowered wall...not a bad option!

    Thank you!

    Put a larger piece of horizontal art over your bed....framed. IMO, art always looks better framed.
    If you put your bed against the lowered wall, make sure there is enough height for you and your spouse to get up out of bed and not hit your head on the angled ceiling.

    I can't sleep under eaves. I always feel the ceiling is coming down on me.

    @decoenthusiaste this is what is opposite the wall with the Eve.

    Could the dresser and TV cabinet switch yet leave room to get in and out of bed? With the dresser moved, you'd be able to hang the mirror vertically and it will give visual height to the room. Or maybe the dresser would work by the light switch as you come into the room. That would also draw light across the room from the window. You need chunkier lamps to work with the chunky bedside tables and the volume of the headboard.

    Our ceiling was much lower and we are both tall and never hit our heads . I happen to love attic bedrooms they give me a sense of coziness.If you put the bed on the sloped wall you will not have to figure how to hang art above a high headboard either.I don’t like the heavy dark cabinet for the TV so maybe something lighter like the other cabinet and no little shelf thing in the corner either . In fact if you moved the bed the TV could be hung on the wall above the white cabinet and free up space. I like those very structured beds with a more structured bedding layout . So instead of a duvet or comforter use a coverlet and a nice blanket or large throw across the end of the bed.Like this is what I am thinking

    Or if you need to keep the comforter then something like this

    Then some drapes in a fabric that does not let the light through and goes well with the bedding or the throw.

    I would have never thought about the type of bedding, this is super helpful! This weekend I will have my husband help me move furniture around to see if we like the new layout better.

    You might want to start by moving around your furniture on paper. Draw out your room and cut out your furniture pieces proportionally on paper. Save your back! :)

    To try: move the bed under the sloped wall, with the end tables/lamps (thinking you might want larger lamps if you like this arrangement bc without space for art there, they would better balance that space). Try that mirror hung vertically on the wall between the window and (closet?). You might be able to angle the chair there as well; not sure of the amount of space you have. If that works, you could buy a small floor lamp next to it. Move the tv and whichever dresser that is the larger of the two you have, so that the smaller (hopefully less deep) could be placed on the wall where your headboard is now, close to the door. Buy a large piece of art to hang above it; something that reflects your taste and uses colors that you can incorporate in the room with bed pillows, a knit throw for the chair, etc. I’d use one of your lamps on the door end of that piece when you have new lamps for the bed. I’d try your fiddleleaf plant to the right of the new tv area by the window. If it works there, I’d get a beautiful pot to place it in. Have fun pushing and shoving, and try many combinations. Good luck!

    Thank you so much!

    Do you need the black dresser in the room? Can you mount the tv on the wall and move the dresser to the closet? Hanging the mirror vertically was a good idea.

    Could be a really charming space with a little tweaking. Can’t wait to see your bed on the sloped wall.

    If the bed goes under the slope then the TV is viewed sideways. I would not opt for that. On personal observation, everything in the room is large scale and simple except for:

    • the nightstands are too narrow for the scale of the bed. Once those are increased in size there will not be any room for the plant and the chair
    • the lamps
    • the wall decor above the bed
    • the too sheer curtains on the windows

    IMO if those few objects are selected correctly the room will be fine.

    @ BeverlyFLADeziner , I really like the idea of larger side tables and chunkier lamps , and the three photos. If I find the 3rd matching to this, are these good sizes or do you recommend starting over and finding 3 larger photos for above the bead. And if i go with this method, what do you suggest about this wall, it seems too bare with nothing on it... but I am not finding any placement of artwork aesthetically pleasing either. Thank you!

    What about a large horizontal piece depicting a favourite travel destination or vacation memory? Not exorbitant to have travel pics blown up and printed on canvas. I'd keep the plant but remove the lamp to keep a corner bare.

    Since you asked, I don't think the primitive technique and subject matter is successful above your bed. If you place a canvas on the bare wall, perhaps multiples of something three dimensional will work better above the bed. Or you could end up with nothing above the bed as the headboard is pretty tall.

    Here are some illustrated options for locating wall decor in bedrooms with tall headboards

    Thank you! Yes, I thought about taking the two framed art work (the yellow ones) and putting them behind the nightstands. Good point!

    I very much agree with moving the bed under the eaves. Ideally, for best sleep, it should be directly opposite the door, but that isn't possible. At least you will be able to see the door from the bed if it is under the eaves. Replacing the nightstands with bachelors chests would allow you to put whatever is in the dark dresser into the nightstand drawers, thereby eliminating the dark dresser. You could then mount the t.v. over the lighter dresser on a swivel mount for easier viewing. Hang the mirror where the t.v. is now.


    I think you need curtains with a blackout liner so the sun doesn't shine through them. If you like your sheers though, raise the rod so they're not puddled on the floor.


    A thinner coverlet on your bed will eliminate bulk and let you tuck into the sides and footboard of your bed for a cleaner look. Then add matching king size shams like Patricia shows in her 1st picture.
