Need your ideas for small master bedroom
8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago
Hi all. My partner and I would like to refresh our main bedroom but having trouble deciding on a earth toned wall colour, a King size bed head (not base), bedside tables and block-out curtains for this small bedroom in a modern townhouse. Current wall colour and cupboards is Dulux Stowe white, white ceiling with taupe coloured carpets. Currently thinking of painting walls Dulux Russian Toffee and ceiling 1/4 strength or a taupe colour to match the carpet. We are considering a wooden behead possibly floating, to minimise allergies, across the whole width. We also have a cat so thought a fabric bedhead would not be ideal.
I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on alternative wall colour/finishes, bedhead and side table designs. Need definite storage for books as we both read a lot.
Note window is north facing. We have a small framed postcard of a work by Lucien Freud to work with on same wall in picture below.

Which layout for the master bedroom would your prefer?
Comments (8)I can't see the images but separate bathrooms would be my preference. A simply larger ensuite is fine but you still have to fill the room with stuff. When my wife and I first lived together it was a two bedroom, 2.5 bath. The closets were small so I just took the 2nd bedroom and also made the ajoining bathroom, mine. It was the best. No staggering of waking up to take turns, and we all poop! But at least it's not in each others face. Over the years, function over style will win hands down. I don't know the size of your closet(s) but expanding that (even a his and hers) would also go along way. The alfresco could be nice but only if you have great weather year-round. If you have a porch / deck / etc, then there's no need. You still need to go to the kitchen to get your coffee / wine / drink. It's not practical....See MoreBackup ideas for master bedroom layout
Comments (15)Well, here's a concrete example for him. Our bed is 2200. The wall at the end of the bed is 3200 from the wall at the head. I decided it was too tight to get my 500 dresser in at the end of the bed, so I put in a 300 bookcase. The space between bed and bookcase (ie 700) is fine - not ideal, maybe, but entirely workable. Don't sweat the small stuff. Your plan looks fine, and you've got room at the end of your bed for a nice sitting area....See MoreNeed ideas for a odd shaped master bedroom
Comments (4)You actually have room for a couple of closets that would back onto the side (long) walls of the bedroom. one would be between the window and the ensuite and the other would match it on the opposite wall. You could put sliding doors or bifolds on these and walk up the middle of them to your door to the ensuite. I'm assuming your bed is in the "bottom" part of the room nearer the bay window....See MoreMaster bedroom + Ensuite - Brain storming ideas HELP
Comments (24)We intend to stay in our master upstairs for sometime and move down when we feel comfortable OR move them both into the guest bedroom which is opposite the new master. We originally had our master suite upstairs with the boys room down stairs, however we think it's safer this way when they are younger. The 1st floor will be their domain, with their own kitchenette, bathroom, study, living and deck... so they will never have to leave home 😉 I think I have drawn up 300 different options 🤦♀️ Does your huaband and his Identicial twin have an amazing bond?

PRO8 years agoIKEA do have a bedhead with book storage but only up to a queen size but could have something similar made... otherwise depending on your budget you could consider IKEA's lack shelving and agree with the wall mount lights and great art to lift the room. Some examples of techniques (not colour of course)...

8 years agoThis two are from IKEA. I just want to say if you want to paint ceiling then just do 1/2 or 1/4 strength of your wall colour you don't match ceiling to the floor.
- PRO8 years agoI have a feeling it is actually a built in type. Here is a simple solid oak bedhead... no storage though.... then you could look for a modern version of the side tables you have know to still have book storage?
