I've been meaning to tackle my master bedroom for ages and have half-heartedly been planning a scheme and searching for new goodies to furnish it though for some reason I never had enough motivation to really get stuck in....until NOW!
NOW I seriously can't wait to kickbox the heck outta it - don't feel sorry for it though, it deserves it, trust me.
So, here's the plan:
What'da ya think?
It's a pretty small, irregular space with two doors, one large off-centre window and a built-in robe which takes up one entire wall. Rather than pretend the room's proportionate, I'm gonna play up the asymmetry with some mis-matched furniture though will give balance to the overall scheme through consistency in colour, style and decor. There are a couple of factors which are gonna inevitably influence my design:
Ample Storage
Neutral, Earthy Palette
Light and Comfortable
Slight Eclectic Edge
Clean and Un-cluttered
Nice (that's the response you get when you ask your husband what he'd like!)

Size/Shape of Room
Storage Requirements
Budget
Carpet Must Stay
Need Ceiling Fan (impossible to sleep in Summer without one!)
Require Black-out Window Treatment
Neutral, Earthy Palette
Light and Comfortable
Slight Eclectic Edge
Clean and Un-cluttered

Now, I gotta apologise cause I don't have any before 'before' photos of the room (as it was when we first moved in). The walls were green, the trim and doors were brown, there was a massively ugly light fixture, worn-out dirty berber carpet and completely see-through bright blue drapes - just lovely.
We got rid of all that pretty quick-smart and here are some pics of the room from about a year ago (cringe, I can't believe I'm putting these out there - please be kind!).

The french window is a lovely feature. We will need to put up some kind of black-out treatment though because the sun streams through in the morning. It's a shame the window ends so near the wall on the left because I can't put in an extra long rod :-(

Please forgive the lack of pillow flair :-)

Okay, now do you see what I mean about it needing its butt kicked?
Honestly though, let's just say those pics weren't taken on its best day.
Unlike my living room, entryway or dining space, where guests usually congregate, the master bedroom is a bit of a hidden lair which is probably why it's been so badly neglected - seriously, "I'm so sorry MB, please forgive me, I promise to make it up to you".
The furniture is all outta my room from when I was still living at home with Mum and Dad - a bit sad, I know, though we had zero dollars just after we bought the house and never really got around to getting anything new (i.e. nice).
We painted the walls Dulux Chalk USA and all the trim and doors gloss white (as per the rest of our house) and although I would have l-u-r-v-e-d floorboards it wasn't to be (not for now anyway) so we put down some nice plush carpet...
...HENCE, a new blank-ish canvas was born!
Soooo, that's my starting point.
I'm dying to hear your thoughts ladies so please comment away!

Oh, and I'll be posting a mood board along with some furniture and decor 'before' pics next!
Stay tuned....
