Assistance with decorating my bedroom plz!

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

I recently moved in to a new coop, and am trying to put the final touches on the bedroom. Could definitely use some help. Given that there are two built-ins that I don't plan on removing (may come back to this later, but not at the moment), I took out the existing closet to make a bit more room. I'm looking to get a new bedframe (I love my Purple mattress, but want a better bedframe), a new nightstand that goes with the color, and a bench or lounge chair to sit in. I love to read before bed, but I know that reading in bed is just making it harder for me to fall asleep.

Here are some photos of the bedroom along with floor plan and dimensions:

Note that the closets were taken out, and gives me 116" until the pillar. If I keep my shoe rack and hamper where they are, I have 74" to play with. From the built in to the closet wall, I have 186", and from left to right I have 122".













For a bedframe, I kind of want a headboard, but I HATE headboards that are just straight, it makes it hard to sit up against for a while. I really like the idea of the Floyd frame, though it is lower to the ground and not sure how that would go in the room given window height (shouldn't be an issue for watching TV). An alternative is the Juniper. Once I figure out the bedframe and how much space I'll have on the wall, I can figure out artwork.


Here are some thoughts I had regarding nightstands:

For rugs/etc., I'm thinking it makes more sense to get a runner next to the bed by where the nightstand is, and maybe something between the bed and the TV - given the current bed placement and built-ins not sure a full blown rug makes sense. A shag runner like this looks nice: https://www.flokatirug.net/flokati-runners


For reading areas, I'm not really sure where I would put anything - for example, a bench next to the hamper might work, but those aren't usually comfortable, more for just putting on shoes.

https://www.roche-bobois.com/en-US/product/spoutnik-lounge-armchair - I tried this chair in the store and it is SUPER comfy, but definitely a splurge.


Lovesac sactional is an option as well, though doesn't look super comfy


Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi! If you post a layout of the room and dimensions, people will be able to make better suggestions. Can I ask what city you’re in?

  • 3 years ago

    Just edited with the dimensions. I am in NYC. I think I may pull the trigger on that Floyd bed, though I do worry the low profile just doesn't work with the window height and built-ins, but I like the look.


    The bench/couch/lounging option, as well as rugs and nightstand is all that's left I think.

    How funny I was just in NY helping my son with his new apt....

    Get a full rug, the shag would look fine. Decide on the rug after you buy a duvet cover, a matching blanket, & sheet set. Crate and Barrel has nice bed linens (I noticed you liked their brand). IMO you need to have drawers in your night stands..... Buy those once you have a head board....... Love the chair, but it does seem a little over the top?! I did not see the bed frame you are referring to...

    Just found your bedframe...love it. Once you decide on the finish, then get you night stands, then get your bedlinens , then a rug. Anyway that's how I would proceed. Good luck

    I have a duvet that I really like, it's a kind of pale blue from Casper, though it's so hot I've been sleeping with just the lighter coverlet and a weighted blanket.

    This is the bedframe I am debating getting. It is very low profile, about 7.5", so with my mattress total height is about 16-17" total. The TV is set 35" above the floor, and the windows are 32" above floor.



    The chair definitely is over the top - trying to think of whether I should have a bench/small couch with a foot rest just to neatly fit into that alcove, or a chair a bit closer to the bed that can recline and watch the TV.


    I'm leaning towards the birch given the dark blue accent wall, though tbh I do like the walnut a bit more.

    Actually in looking through all your nightstand options with the Floyd and Jupiter beds. I would suggest; and did to my kid to get matching bed and stands.....because of this I would suggest the Juniper with the 2 night stands. I think a 8x10 rug would work, and a white shag would be ok depending on how it"ll look with your cabinetry. a dark white next to a bright white will look dirty. ( Course this is only an observation only a mom would make)!

    What type of nightstand would work well for this? I'm thinking the ones I listed may be a bit too big. Given that the bed won't be centered in the room I think having just the one nightstand next to the bed would work so it won't get in the way of the built-in cabinet.


    I like the idea of a shag rug, thought good call on making sure it doesn't appear dirty.


    I know Floyd has their own nightstand, but it's a bit...eh? I do like walnut more 100%, though worried about how dark it is. I think I need one that has a drawer, given the knicknacks I have in there, though it may be time for a spring cleaning.

    We might suggest a rug to go completely under the bed. Perhaps try a white shag rug but much bigger. Below are some of the bedrooms we have designed for our clients. We thought it might help you to look at what we have done:
