What is you bedroom like?

Same as mine/ me Fanny. I can't seem to get for going.

Calm light grey wallpaper with embossed trees that glitter a subtle gold (JL) light grey carpet. Bed head and side units dark wood in a 1920"s colonial style, dark rich mulberry curtains with side light that match.
Pictures from far east in Gold bamboo frames. Fitted wardrobes in white and full length mirrors in middle sections.
Only white of pale grey bedding.
Very calm and restful.

Plain, white walls, white painted floorboards, duck blue plain long curtains in front of a pair of French doors.

2 Folk style rug and 2 small pine cupboards. On them a clock a plant, a lamp and a bird ornament.

A row of quaker style pegs on the back wall.

Cosy, calm, an uncluttered simple room. A pop of colour in the bedding/duvet covers.

Mine is fairly plain and light- coloured with two windows which have wonderful views.

Our bedroom is a calm relaxing space.

Cream walls, white gloss on all woodwork, gold coloured chandelier type ceiling light ( our Victorian cottage has very high ceilings so can take a big light), neutral carpet. Wooden sleigh bed (very heavy), and similar bedside tables, dressing table, chest of drawers.

Some original framed art on the walls.

Fireplace with a chunky wooden mantlepiece made by MrLP from some old wood we inherited.

We stick to plain cream for the bedding, but we have 5 handmade patchwork bedspreads, sourced from *bay/antique shops, which we use on top and rotate during the year. These are in various muted shades, one looks more wintery, one summery etc. I love changing them over, and noting the passage of the year.

We also have 2 sets of Christmas bedding, which appear in December!

I'm loving hearing about everyone's different styles and tastes, thank you!

Take care xx

My problem is that I still live in the past and what I have has character and a " tale to tell ". I can't bring myself to live with the times and lose it all to a modern lifestyle, it wouldn't be me as my identity would be lost forever.

Don't get me wrong, I love and enjoy looking and being in " grand, modern " places but I also love being with and in my own comfortable surrounds too.
I've visited some beautiful homes in my life-time, really swish but there's never a place like home

I like mine calm and tidy it’s dark teal and silver blue on the walls with grey carpet.

Painted white (everything, as it's a mish mash of odd old furniture)
Big, high, black wrought iron bed, bright pink curtains and lamps.
Grey cushion floor.

I love my bedroom it is not too large and everything fits in nicely.the walls are cream/gold and the brass headboard looks good against the wallpapered one wall.
The furniture is golden pine and the flooring pale wood most of my bedding is white/lemon and I have a huge mirror over a dresser finished off with a large glass chandelier bought in a charity shop for a gift of a price.

I recently had my house totally redecorated with every wall painted white. The idea is to use accessories to create colour while keeping everything minimal and clutter free.

I have a large bedroom with light ash fitted wardrobes on two walls and just a few other pieces - free standing mirror, small chair, linen basket and a couple of pictures. There is an inset area above some drawers for a TV but I no longer have one in the bedroom and have a large plate there instead. I’ve just ordered some white plantation shutters/blinds to replace the louvred dust attracting blinds so don’t have any curtains. The bed is a wooden one, again a simple design.

The main colour in the room comes from the bedding. I’m toying with the idea of replacing the carpet which is a nasty shade of orange/brown ( like the old American tan tights!) but can’t decide on what flooring or colour to have. I’d like cream but as I live in a bungalow and tend to walk straight into my bedroom when I get in to take coat and shoes off, cream is not really practical. Maybe laminate like I’ve just put in my lounge with a colourful rug?

Thinking about my home, I think my recent redecoration is a fight against having an old woman’s bungalow! I’ve gone overboard with a kind of Scandinavian style of white, clean lines with pops of colour, few ornaments, no curtains or fussy drapes and brightly lit. I might live in a bungalow but I don’t want to live in anything resembling a care home!

I have pale duck egg blue paint on 3 walls and duck egg blue feature wallpaper on wall behind bed. Same colour but darker curtains and pine venetian blinds. Pine wardrobes, chest of drawers and headboard. Soft green carpet. Sounds lovely eh? Well as my daughter, partner and 2 year old son slept in there over Christmas it looks lovely but usually there is an ironing board draped in clothes at the end of the bed...things on hangers hanging from wardrobe...clean washing waiting to be put away. Normal situation I imagine??

Teacheranne that's exactly the look I aim for in my bungalow. I'm in my early 60s so definitely want an uncluttered look throughout. Pale walls, wooden or white furniture and wooden floors with rugs. The colour comes from accessories.

We are currently staying in a holiday let we own in N.Yorkshire.
It’s in a converted chapel, I designed it to be luxury with a hint of drama!
It’s very different to our bedroom at home.

Wow, that's striking!

I’ve gone for a bit of old Hollywood glam - inspired by a 1920s figurine of my grandmother’s - grey and white with a hint of blush - my sanctuary ☺️

I’m on the hunt for cushions at the moment for my lounge, also a couple of new pictures so spend hours on the internet! Too much choice!

This is my new rug, on mid brown laminate, so am looking for bold colours to match.

Teacheranne whatever possessed me to buy a pale rug for my living room?? I have two dgs; one a baby, one a toddler. I love your rug.

Love, love, love Sago’s bedroom and Teacheranne’s rug.
Have you look at the work of Scott Naismith or Nel Whatmore? (I have two of his in the lounge and her descending balloons on a large wall in the kitchen.)

Pale cream walls, pale cream fitted wardrobes, pale cream carpet, plain pale cream silk floor length curtains. The original cast iron fireplace and pale blue bed linen. All very restful ahh zzzzzzzzzzz.

White walls. Oak four poster bed with hand made matching drapes and curtains.

We decided to go bold and bright in our holiday apartment, it’s so vibrant you feel so uplifted when you walk in!
The bedroom is striking but the open plan kitchen/living area was brave, we used Hockney prints to continue the colorful theme, not to everyone’s taste I know but we love it.

Bloody hell Sago and Birdie1 - well posh. You have wonderful taste, ladies

Well, since my post, my curtain pole fell down.
Quick repair; a matchstick bunged in the screw hole and good as new.
