Bedroom built in & design HELP!

2 years ago
last modified: 2 years ago

I am trying to design my bedroom which has been recently renovated. (We improved our insulation and also added an ensuite bathroom)

I have some ideas of what I want, but i am having a hard time bringing it all together.
I see so many wonderful pictures of inspiration. The inspiration pictures all look so polished and well assembled. Im just having a hard time to figure it all out.

I have attached photos of the measurements and the actual walls.
I have attached a photo of the colour scheme I love.

I would like to utilize these acoustic wall panels. (photo included) I think they are very pretty, but as well will block a little sound from the outside (we live on a major highway and there is a little noise even though we have added as much sound barrier as we could)

I do not have a closet and would like to addd some built ins. As you can see one wall is a little deeper than the other. I think it might be a great place for a built in.

Could anyone offer some advice on what I could do to make the room look more polished and put together?

Id appreciate any advice…

    I'd get a carpenter to build that custom built in to hang clothes.

    custom made rattan wardrobe. shouldn't be too expensive to have done.






    If you look at Rattan Wardrobes, you can find ready made. not sure how they would fit in that space

    even wayfair has built in wall closets.

    the top part has doors, bottom drawers


    Closet America has this


    for other clothing that can be folded, purchase a nice dresser to sit across from the bed.

    crate and barrel has this all-in-one piece




    Those acoustic panels are fine, or, just paint the wall black (or forest green), get some 1X1 wood slats, cut to size, stain them, attatch to the wall.





    Lots of DIYs on this (search, "DIY wood slat wall)

    https://campbell-house.com/2020/08/04/bedroom-refresh-part-2-diy-vertical-wood-slat-wall/


    all diff ways to style a room w/this


    this one actually has a built in wardrobe off to the left.


    Do you have a bed yet? why not start w/something you like?

    you have a pic of this plank wall. if you don't do the slats (and I wouldn't combine these two) you could always do this behind the bed


    this would look nice w/the Rattan wardrobe. super easy to do too.


    either of these can do the slat or plank wall behind the bed. get a vintage dresser




    do you like this type of set up?

    This closet set up is very much like what my daughter did as there was no closet in her guest bedroom. Built a closet on either side of bed and do whatever you want for a headboard. This picture shows a wall treatment you like. The ideas of a tambour wall treatment is easy to do because you can buy it in sheets from places like Home Depot.



    As for your niche, could you utilize a desk there, or a chest/art/lamp?

    Thank you Beth! The reason I’m going to purchase the acoustic panels is to break the noise from the highway out side.

    Where do you think I should have the built ins made? Beside the bed?

    @elcieg..the “nook” is only 7” deeper than my other wall. Didn’t think of a desk there…but I guess it’s possible. I was thinking to utilize that for cabinet space…definitely food for thought

    So you're doing the entire wall w/the acoustic panels? and you're sure they're rated for exterior sound dampening?? how much so?


    hows your insulation? would be better to do heavy insulation in the wall, and instead of drywall, do a plywood panel w/the drywall over that. don't forget double or tripled pane windows. (i have a freeway behind our house)


    curious why a closet wasn't built into this room? (when you sell, you can't list it as a bedroom unless it has a closet. Can you build in a little walk-in closet in that one space?)


    what size bed are you doing?

    I’m in Canada. We don’t have rules like that here. I wanted to have built ins and not a walk in closet. It’s just my taste.
    As stated above, the insulation has being completely redone. The walls were removed and new siding, insulation, and windows were all added.
    I don’t have to do floor to ceiling acoustic panels. It was just an idea I had.
