Bedroom design decor rescue needed

5 years ago

I am at a loss on what to do with this 2 story bedroom. I like industrial farmhouse. I have designed and decorated the rest of my home with ease.... but this bedroom has me confused.

    Very cool space! What exactly are you struggling with?

    What to do with the walls. They are so massive. Basic decor and warm, inviting feeling.

    I responded on your other post. I guess this is one works better so I’m going to repeat. The first thing I’d do is the light. Something big and glam. Round. I think the dark wood with the light fights. I’d possibly replace it to match or avoid wood altogether. The rug and bedding is great!! And I love the wall lights. So so pretty!! Do you not like the wood? Do you want to tone some of it down? What’s upstairs?? And I see there’s so much natural light is it all from that skylight or am I missing something lol.

    All of the light comes from the skylights. I love the shape and quality of my bed but not in love with the dark wood. I am not opposed to painting it.... but not sure what color. The fan has to stay (husband runs 24/7/365) but I need to update it. I cannot do bigger because of the staircase. ugh

    Love what you’ve done! You have those awesome ledges. Put large artwork on them. You could layer things like you’ve done in your other spaces. Interesting vases or sculptural pieces. I think you need to add a little softness. A throw, accent pillows, plants. Make it a little cozier since it’s your bedroom and sometimes very high ceilings feel cold. Maybe a fabric bench at the foot of your bed.

    I see this post now so I will copy and paste my ideas here as well.


    Omg I love this! I just have one word... PLANTS! Plants all along the ledges and some vines hanging down. Also, get some larger pictures or create a collage of family pics and definitely put a longer one above your bed. I would also put a bench or a little dresser under your board where the lights are. Ugh those sky lights! What a dream!


    Now that I see your other rooms, I would do like you did in your bathroom and just put a bunch of different things leaning on the wall above your bed. Of course sprinkle some plants in haha! Your house is gorgeous! I'm ready to move in hahaha!

    Oops just saw the bench :)

    OOO! and you could add a rounded barn door for your bathroom entry! Not necessarily for privacy but it will add more uniqueness to the room.

    Maybe sand and stain the bed?? And furniture. Rather than painting it

    Maybe move bench (or a larger upholstered bench) to underneath chalkboard but replace chalkboard with a huge inexpensive canvas art piece. Is there room for a cozy reading nook under stairs with a soft chair and small round table with lamp? Other comments on other post . . .

    Got a few new pieces of furniture (some on backorder). Updated with a lot I had and some new. Not done.... but happy with the direction. Thank you everyone for the suggestions and encouragement.
