Wall décor dilemma

3 years ago

I recently painted my primary bedroom.

I need some suggestions on what to do with my walls?

Thank you 😊

    This, unfortunately, is not the "Mystery Meat" section of the Houzz site. You painted......you painted what color? In a room that looks like what? What walls. Beside the bed? Over the bed?

    You . Need. Pictures. of The. Actual. Room. In a comment box below.

    The are no visionaries here: )

    Art...... are the walls mossy green or gray? What do you LIKE. ??

    You need to put in some effort, nobody is going to drag it from you: )

    Find another home for the slipper chair - too crowded, and best elsewhere



    Add a bench at the foot of bed, toss a throw on the bed.

    Google some room you love and ask yourself why you love them

    Jan…..it wasn’t letting me input.

    1. The walls are moody green.

    2. There isn’t room for a bench, unfortunately, that’s why I put the chair there to have a spot to read.

    Thank you for your tips. I like your suggestion on googling rooms and deciding why I like them.

    I agree in moving the slipper chair - some terrific art and textural pillows will go a long way

    You need a rug w/some color and pattern. everything is very plain in the room.

    here, a rug similar to this.


    this appears to be a similar wall color. this bedding looks nice w/it



    or this one. I like the window treatments. black and white art w/light wood


    olive green duvet cover

    These are some of the colors you can work with.



    art is personal.


    have no idea what you like. warm wood tones, natural texture, green plants, all look good w/green walls


    sage green comforter (or at least get the sage pillows/and throw) w/some caramel velvet pillows, natural fiber pendant light (like this one) wood bench, and natural wood frames w/botanical prints:















    anything here you like

    I love your wall color!!! It can go with so many colors: blues, plums, pinks/corals, yellows, neutrals, and more.

    Here are a few ideas for your walls:



    It's fiber art that I found on etsy.

    Since you have that large wall on the side that doesn't seem to have enough room for another piece of furniture, I thought something else could go above your bed that would be different than a large painting that you might want to put there. OR put the something different on the side wall and a painting above yor bed.


    ETA more fiber art:

    I absolutely love the green. I do like the idea of a rug. I have purchased a few, but I have needed to return them, I didn’t like colors when they arrived (ordered online), but that’s a great idea. Thank you Kelly 😊 I will remove the chair. Any suggestions as I love to read. Thank you everyone. I am going to see what I can find 😊

    I was hoping to make my room a “retreat” a place of calm but very beautiful. Is that possible?

  • 3 years ago

    I really like the chair style & color with your walls but it doesn't go with anything else in the room and it's a tight sqeeze where it's at.

    Perhaps you could get smaller night stands, even some hung on the wall. Or just a small one for that side (wicker maybe? they don't have to match) then get bedding to coordinate with that, also that would narrow down your choices if you decide to add a rug (natural or mostly solid).

    Is your headboard pink?

    Could you show pics of the other 2 walls and maybe that would help to give you other possibilities??

    " I was hoping to make my room a “retreat” a place of calm but very beautiful. Is that possible? "

    It certainly is! We just need more info from you in order to know what you like & dislike and pics of all 4 walls.

  • 3 years ago

    Do you like anything about this?


  • 3 years ago

    Sorry, I’ll get a photo of the other wall. It’s short because it has the bathroom and entrance doors on that wall. The room is 18 ft. from the plain wall to the window. The other measurement is 14 ft

    As for the furniture, the headboard is beige. The bed, nightstands stay. The chair can be removed, I just love to read daily so enjoy sitting, but I am negotiable.

  • 3 years ago

    May I ask how you guys can add things to my photos? I would love to do that. Thank you everyone. I’m 65, alone, and always wanted a Girlie bedroom. I’m on a very tight budget. I can afford trimmings but not furniture replacement because my daughter bought me the bed and nightstand and my son bought the bedding. I need to accessorize so they don’t feel hurt. Their wonderful children 🥰 Thank you everyone. This means so much to me.

    I love the green walls! Very soothing and cozy - makes me think of this paper tapestry from Anthropologie - I am ALWAYS recommending these bc they are huge and a total steal $ wise (love that owl perched in the tree ♥)

    I love the walls too. This is very calmly.

  • 3 years ago

    Can you put the head of the bed on the wall facing the windows?

    " I Always wanted the "girlie" room". Go from sad to glad? Gifts from children are wonderful. But they do not sleep in the room, and at their younger ages, they will not understand the desire for "girlie" anything. They live in a gray and beige environment, for the most part: ) They bought you neutral, so you COULD make it your own.

    Maybe it's long past time to get what you want..........Start with art over the bed. ....and you don't have to do all in a single day. I don't understand where the green walls came from, but go with it. Girl green: )

    Nothing below is over 250.00 dollars, most under Even the chair ......( and a slipper is not a great reading chair )

    (don't waste money on a rug. the room has carpet.)

    You have to put you in the room. We are not Y.O.U.

    It's a great color and you've gotten some good suggestions for elevating your decor a bit. If that chair works for you to read in your room, leave it. The color is really nice with the wall color and there is nothing wrong with it there. In the ideal world, perhaps it could have a bit more room, but this is your bedroom and if it works for you, don't remove it.

    If you had a large budget you could maybe get smaller end tables but then the lamps wouldn't fit, so you'd have to get wall hung lamps. That's just all too silly and expensive when you have a chair, tables and lamps that work for you!

  • 3 years ago

    Sharon,

    I will measure and see if it’ll fit. I thought my son said it didn't quite fit.

    I cannot thank you all enough for your thoughts. You are all so sweet. 😊

    hows this? any better?


    a bench at the foot of the bed would be a nice addition. doesn't have to be a large one.

    I like the tall mirrors behind the nightstand. it eats up some wall space and bounces light around. gave you diff lamps (see below for more on the mirrors and lighting)

    remove that chair and replace w/potted plant

    other options

    can your son do some batten accents like this one? (not that difficult) or what about the shelf off to one side w/some plants or art?


    if you like more of a classic look, some judges panel molding.


    what about the fan? do you use it or would a chandelier be nice?


    what I also like are some mirrors behind your lamps on the nightstand. and accessories.

    this room is similar. the aged brass/bronze framed mirrors are tall enough and thin enough to work. (plus, this one has a tall headboard) you need a little contrast w/all of the white


    this is very 'girly' and relaxing. If you took away every accessory, it would be like your room. except all white.


    round one in gold


    the green vase lamp is really pretty, and the light reflects back w/the mirror


    arched gold mirrors. what about a matching gold bench?




    you could even do some antique sytle mirrors. find some art, or like above, a wall hanging




    this rug is pretty under the bed

    how about this window area?


    what if you did some woven wood shades, pulled the drapes back, and put a bench in front of it?


    or like this (not this exact color, obviously)


    or, something smaller. One or two of these velvet X ottomans. even at the foot of the bed you could use these

    maybe this natural cream color would fit better w/your colors

    Consider pulling the chair forward to the end of left window and get a comfy puffy ottoman for the chair.

    Thanks for sharing more about what you won't and are willing to do. Thrift stores/Craig's List/ect. are a very nice and affordable way to decorate. Picture frames, as an example, can be found and with a can of spray paint and fabric/wallpaper/personal photos/a print found online can make beautiful artwork customized to your liking.

    I was waiting on a picture of the wall across from the bed to see if you might put the night table between the doors there. Then, that would make room for your chair and a smaller table.

    Here are some low cost ideas:


    ^ 18" wide comes - in several colors



    ^ this one looks to be ideal



    ^ This one could even be turned so the drawer faces your chair.



    ^ this one has a removable try and also folds up.



    ^ This one is 15.7" square.



    ^This one is really pretty and only 12" wide.

    They are all less than $100. and most well under that.

    Beth……. I do like the mirror idea behind the nightstands. I never thought about that. You ladies are awesome. I have lots of great suggestions. I would really love a rug. I not only like rugs but bringing in some base color would add a lot. I love the monochromatic look but seeing your photos, brings such clarification. I wish I knew how to add to my photos like you have. It would allow me to see before buying, lol. I honestly thank you all so much for your input and time. 😊😊😊

    Yes, I like Beth's idea with mirrors as well.
