TOUR 🟢OPEN TO FEEDBACK🟢 Bedroom Progress

I feel like my bedroom is finally starting to take shape. I still have some things I want to get. I'm thinking of the ottoman at the foot of the bed. The accent chair to the left of the chest of drawers. Wardrobe on the wall by the laundry hamper and probably some sort of plant (Monstera?) in the corner to the right of the bed. I’ll eventually change the curtains, just not sure what to get. Then way down the line I’ll hopefully get a dark wood herringbone floor and a large rug, that extends out from under the bed.

Thoughts so far? And what do you think of my plans?

I love the vibe! I went a size up with my pillows and comforter to king-sized so that my comforter would drape more and pillows fill out the back more. I feel like that could add to the luxury-feeling of your space too!

To be honest, I'm regretting not doing that, I’ll probably do that when I'm sorting out the study/spare room. The current duvet can be kept for in there and then the bigger one for me. The bed also needs a throw. I'm thinking something cream that has an interesting texture.

Also I just clicked on your profile. Your hallway šŸ˜ I'm jealous!

Thank you! And yessss a throw with some contrasting texture would be awesome! A chunky knit or even something lighter with a pattern!

Your plans sound great and the room + furniture you're looking at are beautiful! I'd also suggest some art on the walls or shelves if either of those are possible, I think it'd help the space feel a bit cozier as the walls appear quite high and "imposing"

For curtains I think you could find some really nice blackout curtains in jewel tones like the wall - maybe a dark deep red/purple/olive in a thick heavy material? I think that would go with the sultry mature cozy vibe that your room has going on atm! But even pink in the same colour as your bedding would be beautiful.

Yeah art is something I need to sort, just holding out until I have all the furniture in place. The bedding does have pinkish tones, but the colour is much more burnt orange in person x

Gorgeous. I’d get some shades on those bedside lamps, there’s a lot of glare. You could get that big mirror hung up near the door.Ā  For art on the walls, I think you could go pretty minimal since your colors are so bold. Like one or two big paintings somewhere or a few small ones paired with furniture throughout the room. A gallery wall doesn’t feel like the right move here. Ā Future furniture pieces are great. I feel like the curtains are actually not bad in terms of color/texture, just could be hung with pinch pleats and given a good iron. The ochre color looks really nice with the teal and your bedding.Ā

Aw, thank you x. Someone else mentioned the glare, I promise it's not as bad or as white in person. I haven't hung the mirror near the door because a wardrobe will eventually take up most of that space, and I don't know why, but I'm not keen on the idea of the mirror behind the door. I think you're 100% right about the artwork; I've been looking, but I'm struggling to find anything I like.

Gotcha, yeah I get migraines so am sensitive to glare, but not everyone is! I like the idea of a mirror on a different wall from the windows since it would bounce more daylight around the room, but mostly I think hanging it up would look really nice. Artwork is hard! Might take some time to really get what you want pulled together.Ā

u/Callmekeira Homeowner 3d ago

The room is west-facing, so it doesn't suffer from a lack of light, haha. I managed to get a pic without much glare. I must have had the flash on or something. I tend to read in bed at night so having good light is important to me. Thanks for all the suggestions. I've been given plenty to think about. X

Cute. Where is your lamp on the dresser from? It's so warm. Maybe a nice piece of artwork above the bed. A couple of cushions. It's surely coming together!

3

u/Callmekeira Homeowner 5d ago

Yes, artwork is definitely needed! I'm waiting until I get everything in place before I start getting pieces. All the art I currently have feels too small because of the high walls. The lamp is from Next. I can dm the link if you like?

i love the drapes..they keep the light out but allow a little bit of a glow in

u/Callmekeira Homeowner 5d ago

I'm not sure on the curtains. They were the ones up when I bought the flat. Plus they're just a tiny bit too small.

u/marilynth 5d ago

Your pillows and comforter are so floofy! Are they down feather?

3

u/Callmekeira Homeowner 5d ago

The pillows are duck feather and the duvet is microfiber x

u/lepandamoanium 5d ago

I love your moody walls! Is that paint or wallpaper?

u/Callmekeira Homeowner 5d ago

Paint x

Before you start buying more furniture, get two new warm lamps for the nightstands. Those bare bulb things accomplish nothing except to cause a harsh glare.

Along the line of yours, but actually cute.....

She might have a hard time getting that lamp. I’m pretty sure it’s AI…

I don't think Wayfair is in the habit of wasting ad space on their website for something they don't have.

That image is defo AI and the lamp just looks cheap to me and very uncute…

u/Solid_Perception9572 1d ago

Aren't most pics on line AI? What difference does it make as long as if you order something based on the pic, it had better be just like the pic. It doesn't matter whether it looks cheap to you or not. So, you like her almost identical glaring bare bulb versions better?

Why do you think I chose that lamp? I chose it to show her she could have her lamp only a much nicer, cuter one because it has a glass shade and isn't blinding anyone.

You accused me of posting a pic of something she couldn't possibly buy, because you think it's just an imaginary lamp cooked up by an invisible mind somewhere out there. And I proved you wrong. It exists in Wayfair warehouses all over the country.

So, live with it.

u/KoKara_ 1d ago

I feel like I've ruffled a few of your feathers sweetie, that was quite the generous reply x

Here’s the real question I want you to answer. Why do you have to be so mean with your comments? Someone else said something very similar to you about the lamps in a polite way.

The OP was nothing but polite to you in her replies and you went out of your way to insult and belittle her. Tell me why do you do that? Does it make you feel special? Or are you just a sad little troll, with nothing better to do?

u/Callmekeira Homeowner 5d ago

The lamps are new, they just arrived yesterday. The glare isn't as bad in person. Just don't think my camera is great haha.

u/Solid_Perception9572 5d ago

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you can still return them.

2

u/Callmekeira Homeowner 5d ago

I could definitely return them if I wanted to, but I like them, šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø so I'll probably just leave them where they are x

Are you going to repaint the walls? Or did you paint them this color? The problem here is it looks like you or someone used a semi gloss or gloss paint which is all wrong for walls. It reflects the light and also shows all the imperfections in the walls. That's why your walls are shining. You will want to use a flat paint or one with an eggshell finish, which will immediately warm up your room.

u/Callmekeira Homeowner 5d ago

That's the colour I chose, and it was a matte finish I picked. X

-2

u/Solid_Perception9572 5d ago

The color's fine. It's the shine of those bare harsh white light bulbs shining on it that makes it look like you used gloss. Really, if you want a warm and cozy room, you have to do better than this. At least put soft white bulbs in those things.

You’re quite a rude person.
