Ideas for bedroom wall art
Comments (7)Nice reno :) Few things imo... don't think you need any artwork next to the hexagonal mirror, it could get too busy, if you're after a more balanced look I would move the chest of drawers & mirror to the left more centered on the wall, then relocate the white rack to the other side near the door in place of where the bin is now, not sure the bin should be a feature and be the first thing you see when entering the room, if the drawers have moved that far corner may now be better for the bin... yes the wall above the bed definitely needs some artwork, which I think should be as wide as or wider than the bed, if a large artwork is too costly maybe three squares alongside each other to create the width, stick with the style of the room (can't quite work it out) and pick colours to complement the more permanent fixtures like the blinds rather than colours from the bed linen etc which will change...See Moremaster bedroom advice

Comments (1)Hi Bradford Rice, I understand that it can be difficult to decorate for someone this age. The best place for you to start is to specifically ask him some leading inquisitive questions like, "What do you like to do most?" "Whats your favourite part of your room and your least favourite?" If you can find an item which is dear to him (like his guitar, or playstation remote; yes I did say that! or favourite sweatshirt) then this gives you a springboard to build from. There are some amazing wallpapers out there (check out Mr Perswall graffiti range, or distressed timber board wallpaper) which without too much investment can transform a room quickly. Try to simplify your colour palette and limit it to just a couple of colours, dirty pinks are in vogue along with greys, and animal skins, remember that bedding colours bring a whole new feel to a room and if it lacks natural light keep the colours masculine but subdued with a taupe linen bedspread. Incorporate some chunky texture if you can by way of a thick weaved carpet rug or woven rustic lamp shade, and some shelving storage to encourage him to pick his stuff up off the floor! Good luck with that one! Post a pic if you want further advice....See MoreLove to soften the look of our bedroom
Comments (10)Hi Lashford, A couple of thoughts for you to ponder. The artwork over the bed is not centralised so is out of sorts. Either two items placed evenly on either side or one wider item centrally located would work better, even if the bed is not on that wall. Would you consider putting the bed on the window wall so you look out the ranch sliders rather than at the wardrobe and ensuite doors? That way also if you want to make a feature wall behind the bed it will be rectangular rather than to a high ridge line. This re positioning does not lead to any extra walking around the bed as you currently walk in the door and all around the bed to the far side of it. Ideally I prefer not to see the bed in front of you when you walk in the room but I'd prefer to face the view than face the services. For a feature wall behind the bed, I think there are all sorts of options. Wallpaper is certainly an easy option but I think many people chicken out and don't choose something amazing enough. It is a small item so go brave. The one suggested by Pottsy99 is certainly a bold one and there are plenty to chose from. I am always aware of not making the bedroom too feminine as it is a shared space and both partners need to feel like they have ownership of it. Your curtains are also very neutral. You could 'bold them up' a bit too and tie them in with the colour theme you chose. I'm also a fan of making curtains longer hanging them from the ceiling to the floor. They look better when drawn closed. Blue will work well with the existing timber and grey carpet and you can add a small amount of a bolder colour like gold/amber or orange or even fuschia. Or you could work in a full grey scheme with a spot of colour. Paint on a feature wall still works but also timber battens painted in with the wall are popular at present and take a bit of time and effort but has impact. You could also do it in the rimu or macrocarpa to fit in with the existing timber and work it in with the window. Some images for you to ponder but not limited to these ideas. Cheers, Christine....See MoreLouieT
