Hi Laura. What a spacious room to work with. The timber ceiling is beautiful. May I ask the colour of your carpet? Also, what is your style? Modern, traditional, mid-century, etc?

I can understand your thinking a timber base may be too much in a room with timber trim and ceiling, but there are some beautiful beds with timber and fabric incorporated into the bedhead which might be worth consideration. Otherwise, fabric, leather or a painted bedframe may be more what you want, but will be very helpful to know your preferred style.

Oh, Please what are the room dimensions, particularly the wall your bed and tables will go against, and the length of the Room?

This bed has timber and fabric, and matching bedside cabinets, but it is easy to mix & match with this Gainesville brand.

Do you need bedside cabinets for storage or are you thinking side tables?

Fabric bed options:

A butterfly chair with a white sheepskin rug in the small corner next to sliding door perhaps?

The wall the bed will go against is 3.4 m wide and the room is 4.6m long. I will need storage in the bedside tables I think as I can see them becoming messy otherwise. As for a preferred style, we like modern/contemporary, but am willing to consider other styles that might work!

So would a Queensize bed and cabinets be suitable? What sorts of items would you place on top of cabinet: lamp, small candle/case, clock, any electronics? The Gainesville bedside cabinet, for example, is 30cm wide. It would be suitable for a lamp and a few other accessories, plus it has good storage and depth of 60cm. Although, you may prefer a table w/storage drawer set up on legs as it would give a bit more spacious look in comparison to a cabinet which sits on the floor.

I love the third picture down that Julie Herbert posted....the dark charcoal wall with the timber ceiling! It might be something for you to consider - having a dark feature wall behind your bed.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I think I will superimpose some of the suggested furniture into a picture of the room to see how it looks. You have all been very helpful!

Julie Herbert where are those beds from? I particularly like the first.

Hi laura_85

Your room looks lovely and the architecture looks classic 60,70s with high vaulted ceilings. You could furnish with a retro vibe with mid century modern inspired bedsides (see below) and I would recommend a contrast to the timber with an upholstered bedhead. Keep the furniture and bedhead shapes in a streamlined design to be more modern. A bed base on legs will keep an open feel to the room. An accent chair is also a great addition to the space- the butterfly chair suggested would be great. Add plenty of textures (bedding, cushions, throws) in neutral tones to soften the room. A couple of small prints above the bed will finish off the look.

Consider the window furnishings as well in your selections. These triangular windows are tricky and limit your choices. Best wishes

Hi all

My partner really likes this bed from freedom. I'm not sure about the timber being a much darker stain and the herringbone design would perhaps contrast to greatly with the timber ceiling.

I've had a go trying to superimpose it in to our room, including against a darker feature wall/s.

What does everyone think?

Dark feature wall adds element of drama; two walls might be too much darkness. Light walls lovely as well. Very different looks but both will look at home with that bed. I really like the inspirational photo showing the dark wall with beautiful wall hanging.

thanks all for the feedback. so we went ahead and purchased the bed & side tables from freedom.

a mock up of how it could look using inspiration from everyone's comments:

Oh yeah, that's a terrific looking room...so inviting!

Bulky large wood with straight lines. Shiny dark edges to go with the room. Add colour later when you are sure what you have.
