Sad Sad Master Bedroom.

12 years ago
Sigh. This is the one room in the house we haven't put together yet - and, of course it's ours - and we are STUCK.
We chose this color before we moved in a year ago and would rather not repaint! What can we do with this color?
Definitely need linens and MUST take down The Ugliest Ceiling Fan Ever. What else?!
Be brutal - we're up for changing anything/everything that doesn't require construction!
THANK YOU!!!!!

    Each picture shows the wall color differently. What is the color name?

    I do not like t v’s in the bedroom at all. That is my first suggestion to find another spot in the house for it.

    A chandelier, instead of the fan or at least a silver toned fan if you need one; remove the matching bureau mirror and replace with a beautiful (silver) wall mirror. (I as at Home Goods this week and found 3 fabulous, good sized ones).

    new multicolored comforter and shams and window treatments would go alone way.

    Put some decorative trim on inexpensive drapes to give them a custom look.

    First, if you plan on keeping the TV in the bedroom on that dresser, I would remove the mirror behind it. Get a much more low profile fan or light fixture.
    The pictures are hard to understand. Can you put the bed on the wall between the two windows?

    The wall color is tricky in your pictures as it does change - at first I thought it was blue - is it? Margo is correct, move the bed to the wall that currently has the three pictures, move the high boy to the current headboard wall (is that a slider or a window on the right?) Remove the mirror from the long dresser and place it where you currently have the highboy. A lovely chandelier would be a nice touch but you could get a flush mount with crystals if the head room is a problem. Fabrics with floral patterns will help to soften the masculine lines of the furniture - stay away from color blocking. Have fun!

    This is all so helpful! Thank you!!!
    The color is like a sage color. I can't find the can, or is give you the exact color. Looking for the painter's invoice to see if I can find it for you.
    The pics are high on the wall because we originally had the bed up against that wall!
    Right now, the bed is just out there floating - we got so annoyed with how stale it felt in there that we just moved it for a change of scenery to see how it worked.
    Yep - that's a sliding door that goes out to the pool (we're in Florida!)
    (And PS - I just took the ceiling fan down and I can already breathe a little better. Not sure why it took me so long!)

    I agree with moving the bed between the windows. I know that you don't want construction, but trim would go a long way to dress up the room. I'm talking crown molding and windows sills.

    Could you move the bed where the large dresser is; then move the armoire between the windows and stick a TV in there? That way you can be in bed and watch TV if desired. Then put the large/wide dresser on one of the other walls?

    I would look for a comforter or quilt in a pattern with an ivory color base. I would change out the draperies to an ivory color. I would do a gallery of black and white prints or photos where the current pictures are.

    I did just what was suggested by vying a dresser under my wall mounted TV , but removing the mirror first. I also think your bed should be between the 2 windows, but against he walk, not floating. I can't tell how much room you actually have between your bed and TV.but I think you could use a larger screen.

    Moving furniture around this morning! Will take progress pics during the kiddos' naptime!

    Agree on moving the bed to that wall. Hang much more luxurious drapes in a contrasting color on a long rod that extends all across the two windows and back of the bed. Duvet cover or pillows or shams that bring in all the colors of the room. I think antique gold and cream and your existing brown furniture colors will play nicely with the sage.

    Ok. Moved the furniture. I'm attaching some panoramics so you can see everything - which means you're also seeing all of the crap left everywhere from moving the furniture! (Had to take the pics fast - we're losing light and we took down the ceiling fan! The new fan is laying all over the bed in pieces. Don't judge the need for a fan! We're in FLORIDA!)
    I hear you about the drapes and that they should be hung differently. The challenge in this room is how all of the windows are so close to the corners of the room - there's not much room for a rod, let alone a finial! How do I hang the rods to make extra space for the drapes to stack, like you've all so cleverly suggested?!
    I will look for creamish colored drapes this afternoon. And a patterned duvet. It also seems like I need to find a west elm and make a big shopping trip of it!
    Do we approve of the furniture set up? There's a lot of empty space to the left of the bed.

    My apologies - picture didn't give me the best impression of the space between slider and window - the highboy takes up too much space there - move it to the opposite wall where you had the dresser/TV and perhaps place a nice chair by the slider for a cozy place to read a book and curl up with the "kids" I see you have the four legged as well as the two legged kind :)

    I like the bed in that spot. I think the high dresser needs to move. Can it go on the wall where you have the mirror resting now?

    Looking good but Margo and I agree - move the highboy to the wall where the mirror is resting. You may have to store the mirror for now - can you slide it under the bed? New window treatments, linen, etc...

    I love the bed in its new spot, I love the 3 frames above it too. And by the way, the dog is adorable !! ( I am sure the kid and cataract also- just can't see them as well),
