You’ve got a great base. Your bedsides are too low. The scale is wrong Is changing them an option? Your art is a bit high and is the only colour in the room. If you love it bring in some other items that echo the colours. Your idea of full curtains is a good one.

Yes to wall to wall curtains. Could also do same on other wall. Replace tvunit too as tv to low when in bed. A nice soft muted green on walls,

Too much white for my taste. It looks very hospital.

To bring some life I would use that olive green in your artwork for inspiration. If I could find that colour in a minky throw I would start there. The picture above the bed is also too small. It needs to be wider than the bed. A similar thing in panoramic format would be so much better. Especially given the panoramic high window on the opposite wall. Since I'm running with olive green on the bed I would ditch bedside lamps altogether and go with tall brass floor lamps in opposing corners with a textured shade in a natural like grass cloth, wicker or sisal. Nothing dinky you need some mass to those lamps.

Get the white tub chair covered in a lush velvet in olive, russet or wheat, and move it to the corner adjacent the TV. It's crowing out the bedside table where it is. Harmonisng or patterned bed sheet set. I like the blinds but in white? Not so much. Need a knotty textured rug on the floor. Drapes? Yes they would look nice but I'm digging the minimalist blind thing, just in a different colour.

If you value your rest then remove a TV from the bedroom. It's ennervating and known to disturb sleep.

Thanks for all the advice so far all!

Agree with all your comments. Yes I think different shade colours, different artwork, bedside tables etc.

Re lamps, agree Austere Hamlet that floor lamps would work.

Found these that appeal but interested in people's thoughts ....

As always, really appreciate the input!

Lamps

They're all okay. But I'd prefer the one with the larger shade for a bedroom. That throws soft light and becomes massive enough to stand out in the room. The other styles will throw strongly directional light with lots of shadows and are a bit home office for my taste.

As everyone has said -- it needs colour and/or a theme .

I'm a total amateur , but some bedrooms of my own that I have done over the years include --

One bedroom with a big wooden four poster -- it was a $4k bed , but looked great with the net curtains etc .

Another bedroom with a big white leather bed -- a huge oversized white leather deep buttoned headboard , and white leather sides about 150mm all the way around .

Another I did in a 50's American theme -- an American flag duvet cover ; a large abstract pic of a stylised 50's Motel , in lemon and that light mint green ; a large 'diner' type clock with a pink neon light glowing all the way around it ; 2 red diner style arm chairs with white piping ; etc .

I suppose you can say you should have fun in your bedroom . . . . . . . . . . . . .

That large window and view is so beautiful. I like the bed and scandi vibe. I wouldn't put curtains on the walls. I really like the roller blind with the industrial windows.

I would get a larger duvet, colour throw, a few pillows for the bed...

Move the chair to put in the opposite corner, and an overhead light (e.g. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/dining-table-arc-floor-lamp https://www.templeandwebster.com.au/Olympus-Metal-Floor-Lamp-TELX1039.html), cushions and side table...like a reading nook

I like the painting, but it is in an odd place and I'd say it's too small for the wall...

If you get bigger lamps for the side tables ( https://www.templeandwebster.com.au/Villa-Wooden-Table-Lamp-OL93521WH-ORIB3337.html , you probably could do with bigger side tables ( https://www.templeandwebster.com.au/Marley-Messmate-Bedside-Table-10-339-MYSU1613.html)...

Potentially put the plant on a plant stand to add height to the room?

Also, perhaps a large rug at the end of the bed...

Hi Michael,
You could add taller bedside lamps for balance, pendants would work also, I love white or neutral in the bedroom for a serene space, you could add a soft sage in a luxury linen fabric, pick an artwork that you love, that’s a great piece you could bring colours from that into the room

If you go with your artwork have fun with planters like these to add a wow factor to the corner near tv, great room

@julie herbert We really like that lamp that you posted but can't find it anywhere. Are you able to point us in the right direction there?

thanks heaps.

I would leave the blinds to take advantage of your wonderful view. I would start with a large piece of art that you love. Hang it so the middle is at eye level. Some green would bring the outside in. Then I would dress the bed in a colour complementary to the art. You will then get an idea of scale for your bedside tables or floor lamps. The beside tables are definitely too small. Move chair to opposite corner and drape a throw over. Put the plant on a stand where the chair was or else buy a taller plant. It should grow well with all that light. Make sure you buy a pot large enough to accommodate the plastic pot so you can remove for watering. Otherwise there are some pretty good faux plants around. It really is all about colour. Doesn’t have to be matching just complementary. Most of all have fun with it.

Put the plant on a stand or a taller stand and add two more. Have the lamps level with the bedhead or just under, add a throw to the end of the bed using your print as a colour palette, lower the print and maybe look at getting a longer one, take some of the colour from the print and get a pillow for the chair, move the chair to the other side and add a bench table under the window and put some books there to make a reading nook. Make the wall where your plant is into a gallery wall.

Hi Michael,
The lamp is called ‘the Nave’ it’s a laser cut designer lamp from Spain, it’s beautiful, if you type The Nave Lamp into search you can get details for it, you could look for lamps with a veneer shade, that could look fabulous , this one from 2modern furniture called the Thesis , there are quite a few around to choose from.

Hi Michael.
The room could do with some colour and texture to create softness. I would suggest painting all the walls. Resene Half truffle for a warm grey or Dulux Quarter opononi (colours of New Zealand) which is a warm sandy colour. A more bold look of a blue/green shade would also look beautiful.
Colours are endless so get some test pots and paint on large paper and move around the room to see how they look. The white furniture will pop with colour on the wall - think contrast but not too strong. You could also look at wallpaper as there are some fabulous designs - either paper the wall behind the bed or entire room.
Yes agree with curtains attached to ceiling draped to the floor. Leave the roller blinds. The blind above the tv leave as is.
The bed seems quite low. A padded headboard would look fabulous there.
Move the white chair to the corner by the tv.
Now layers... cushions, throws and possibly rug. I love the colours in the artwork. Looking forward to update photo. Best of luck.

Hi All,

Thanks for all the fantastic advice.

We've started by choosing a new piece of art. Once we receive and hang it I'll post another photo.

We'll work outwards from there :)

How exciting for you to have such a clean clear slate to work with. Your room a somewhat like mine in a house we have just renovated and I had some great advice from our project manager/designer. We also have a huge window with an amazing outlook, one we didn't want to hide but needed covering at night. She helped us choose full sized curtains in a sheer texture that softened the room but even when the curtains are closed, still allow the outside view and colours to show. They stack back to either side of the window. Of course the roller blind is ideal for privacy and it is so well hidden when retracted.

When your curtains are open it looks like you have the beautiful piece of art with that view. When our curtains are open we have a lake and huge jacaranda outside so I placed a piece of Indigenous art on the opposite wall which bought in colour, particularly the mauve of the jacaranda, to the room. Not sure what your fourth wall is like but would there be room to put your existing green based art on that wall, to reflect the outside green.

The chair in the room is probably a little large but there is no sense putting it in the other corner unless your are ready to drag it across the room when you want to watch tv (when everyone else is watching something on the other tv). What about moving your plant into the corner beside the tv on a raised stand. With a smaller chair and the plant moved then two large freestanding lamps would look great.

Can't wait to see your new artwork and where your room goes from here. I hope my photos help with my explanation, note the jacaranda was at the end of its flowering. We have since finished the room and introduced a little more colour.

Stunning artwork Cathy

looking lovely and especially love the doggie artifact

Great work Michael

Lovely

Wow, great job and absolutely beautiful. You won't want to get out of bed on weekends gazing out that window in such lovely surrounds. Even the pooch loves it.

The lamps are perfect with your bed head. And good job on the cushions.

Wow, looks beautiful Michael, artwork, lamps and cushions and dog all look gorgeous, a rug under your bed would just finish off your beautiful room.
