My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Need help with small primary bedroom makeover

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

Just moved into a new home with a small primary bedroom (9.5 x 10 ft) and would love thoughts on how best to set it up without making it feel cramped. We currently have a huge bed and cant even fit two 20 inch nightstands on each side with it so we’re eager to do an overhaul and atart fresh.

I was thinking of doing a dark board and batten accent wall with a bed frame and no headboard to maximize space but am worried a dark wall might make the room seem too small. Do you think I should keep the wall white or do you have another recommended paint colour?

Here is what it looks like and further below is what I was thinking.
