What is you bedroom like?

Now were talking merlotgran, that's a good space to let the imagination run riot. I vote the built in wardrobe has to go!

I really dislike my bedroom it’s quite small and dark. Those of you that have white walls, what colour did you use ? I have grey walls and carpet with navy and mustard curtains and mustard bedding, it’s looks really miserable as it’s north facing. Going to change it in the spring.

Would you consider something like Elephant's breath KatyJ? Dont be put off by the colour it looks in the tin because I can assure you it picks up the natural light in your room and turns subtly grey, green, blue depending. It is very fashionable. Personally I find white very clinical, but I like the sound of your navy and grey scheme. Maybe the mustard is too strong?

Scarlett and deep pinks are apparently the best to arouse passion in the bedroom so ours has pale grey walls, light wood furniture and accessories in shades of blue. ?

OK, peeps. What would you do with this? ?

I moved into my new pad two months ago and have been camping out in the only room available while doing up the rest of the bungalow.

Now it’s the turn of what the grandchildren insist should be a unique and quirky nod to my personality (think Angel Strawbridge on a shoestring budget)

I was going to rip out the built in wardrobe but the storage is invaluable and I’ve become weirdly fond of it ?

A complete and utter chaotic mess. Just like everything in my house and life

You made me laugh Fanny

Mine is totally cluttered too. Plain walls and carpet. Bedding and curtains lamps etc all match red and gold and are lovely. But every inch is used 3 drawers triple wardrobe desk chair tv bookcase, painting stuff. OH next door is the same. We couldn't actually fit into one room.

I posted once asking about people's sofas, and spent a lovely afternoon looking at pictures of everyone's living rooms.
Still made the wrong decision about the sofa, though.

Kathy73 Go on to RightMove, look at the least expensive houses in any area and you will find homes just as tastefully decorated as those seen above. Indeed, all you are seeing is bedrooms. Why assume that because their bedrooms look lovely the house is, presumably, large and they are wealthy?

Good taste and an interest in how your house looks is universal across the world and at all levels of income and house size.

Goodness, how posh you all are!

The bedroom is on my list for 2022 and like you kittylester I am torn between different styles. Previously I have always been plain Jane, white, cream and minimalist in my choice of bedroom decoration (see photo), preferring to be more dramatic in the living rooms and kitchen. After lots of searching I was taken in by the style and colours in Alex Polizzi's newest hotel bedrooms, so I have chosen a midway compromise of green and blue fabrics as in the photo.
I do like the idea of the dark end walls seen in some of the photos in this thread, and at least when I am lying in bed I wouldn't see it if I chose a shocking colour. Time to be a bit more dramatic.

A mess. However, after New Year is by. I intend to sort it.

We live in a 550 year old house and the ceiling of our bedroom reaches cathedral-like, far into the roof. It is also has a lot of oak beams in walls and ceiling. Centre piece of the ceiling is a large French chandelier. The furniture is all brown, either Georgian or Victorian.

Walls are magnolia and I have rose pink oriental style rugs on a floor of pale blonde boards. I am about to make some cheerful rose patterned curtains and am making similar patterned lamps shades for the bedside lamps.

I have an antique patchwork quilt on the bed. It is American and in the traditional log cabin pattern and. The predominant cover is white with red ans these colouurs are echoed in th new curtains.

Sago that is stunning!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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 ☺️

Wow, that's striking!

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.
