Need your ideas for small master bedroom
9 years ago
last modified: 9 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.

Backup 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 MoreMaster bedroom colour ideas-room faces west (slightly south) in Qld
Comments (20)Feng Shui is fun. Colours do play a vital role in the mood of a room but aspect plays a large role in how that colour plays out. This is where photos don't always do justice to decorating, you can see a room that looks amazing but it doesn't always transfer to another room, resulting in disappointment. I love dark colours in dining rooms too, I think they create a lovely intimate atmosphere for dining. I've done the dark colours in bedrooms too for that intimate feeling, but I've now moved on to lighter colours to open the house up more and I really enjoy the freshness of them, the rooms seem to look a lot cleaner. My soft aqua lounge room was created from years of living with the sun and the heat it generated in the room, often making it unbearable to be in. Since I've done it in the aqua, people walk into the house and just want to be in the room and don't want to leave, because it is both cool and restful....See MoreIdeas for teen bedroom/s downstairs.
Comments (39)My daughter ran her business from her bedroom until they could afford a 3 bedroom house, their 2 bedder with two boys and no where else to fit an office was a very difficult time which thankfully they all survived. Having your office in your bedroom should be avoided at all cost, as you never leave the office behind as my daughter found out. Your bedroom is where you go to relax , I certainly wouldn't give up my sanctuary for anyone, even my kids. You are there full time so it makes sense. Your house already has enough rooms, except for making a small change to allow for another bedroom albeit small next to the bathroom as per my suggestion, Both of these rooms have space for the boys to have a desk (they don't need a lot of storage being part time) The desk in the living area can be built in to hide an office. This is a low cost solution and won't damage resale value. If down the track you can afford the new deck, try to work out to fit a room underneath as a hang out (media) area for the boys. not sure about WA but rooms like these in some states can have ceiling height at 2100, depends on what name!! you give them. My son is in a similar situation to you, except he now lives in a Studio Apartment in Sydney, so when he has his two kids 50 50 they make do in that space and seem to manage very well....See MoreMaster bedroom, ensuite and WIR robe ideas
Comments (38)What is the wall going out from the laundry, is there another room? Going up into the roof space is a great way to add extra room/s if the pitch is high enough, perhaps your son inlaw could get up there with a tape. We did this some years ago in our Federation house and ended up with 2 bedrooms with a study break out area across the end of both rooms which had QBs. Our builder pre ordered the stairs which were installed in one piece, this was quick and once the stairs were in place they could then proceed to fit out the space. Your wide passage could be where these stairs would fit....See More

PRO9 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)...

9 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.
- PRO9 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?
