Design Dilemma Bedroom

Dark feature wall in bedroom

9 months ago

last modified: 9 months ago

I would like to paint a feature wall in my bedroom, behind the bedhead. I'd like it to be navy blue but I don't know if such a dark colour would be too bold for a bedroom 3.5 x 3.5m (and a 2.6m ceiling height). Any advice?

I think it would look fabulous, even the new metallic black matte would look great, you could add lighter bedding , add some gorgeous accessories, could look stunning.

Agree it would look great but do the whole room. Feature walls are dated.

Thanks for your help Kate. It's a holiday house so the blinds/curtains are just as much for security when we are not there as functionality so we probably need them on all windows for when we are not there.

I think you should explore the idea of getting a Pod on the deck. its like a mini granny flat / cabana with toilet and small multi purpose room. You might have the space for this. Your layout looks fine as it is, and if you have a covered pergola, a second toilet in a pod will works well there. I am a bit against adding plumbing and moving walls to your house. First its a mess. lots of putting pipes under the flooring, fixing the flooring again, also ceiling and conrice works, and you end up with smaller bed, tighter layout. Too much sacrifice and not too much to gain.

Hi Jeannie, Haha!! I always say it’s my last project too but I still find another, you can add a bold colour to your bedroom for a lush look, or go soft and serene, all would look great, using white bedding then adding a contrast always looks fresh and beautiful. Choose an artwork, pendants instead of lamps always look gorgeous. Your home is looking lovely.

The white floral looks like it is see through which will be a;issue for privacy. You seem to have a few colours going on in this room. Perhaps a solid colour would be best.

Hi Gill

The first question I would ask is- do you like the bedroom to be dark and cavelike(which could be great if you have trouble sleeping) or would you find that depressing? Dark colours, while bold, will darken the room so think carefully about if you want a feature wall or the whole room and how the natural light works in the room at present. Plan for adding light sources like table lamps to enhance a dark scheme. Many of the examples above show light bedlinen as a point of dramatic contrast. Some examples from our projects below.
