What a lovely bedroom. Rest of the house is gorgeous too. Lucky you. If I win the Euromillions I'll buy it off you!

I know most of you are joking on this thread ( mind you those bedrooms are delicious) but does anyone actually have any interior design skill ? I need someone to tell me what to do with these . They were here when we moved in - short vertical blinds. I don't like them but I need them to stop the morning sun. I want curtains but I don't see how they would work with the 3 bays in the window. Help pls!

@ZestFest

i usually don’t @ people but I love that floor. Is it old, refurbished or something new (floating)? I’m just about to put in new floors in the v small house husband and I are building for our retirement and I like what I can see of your bedroom floor.

@Morestrangethings

Thank you - I honestly think it's a cheapish laminate. It was there when we moved in 9 years ago, so I'm afraid I can't tell you where it's from or any more detail really.

A bedroom isn’t a bedroom until it has an old exercise bike in it being used as a clothes rail

Thank you.. I see another poster also liked it.

Is this not the queen's room at the chateau de Versailles ? I would not post a photo of my room, too outing.

I was just thinking of that woman who posted a photo of a hotel room on a similar thread a while back. I wonder whether this is the same woman back again!

As soon as I saw the thread title I wondered how many others would remember the hotel bedroom. I was on that thread and the person who posted the hotel bedroom and pretended it was hers let quite a few posters think it was my newly done over bedroom that was the hotel bedroom. She didn’t even have the guts to say, it’s not the poster some of you are suggesting, it’s me, I posted a picture taken in hotel bedroom and lied about it being mine. It wasn’t long before it was made clear just who the fantasist was but it wasn’t nice at the time.

@marvellousmaple You can get bay window poles and have curtains. The issue is it’s a wide bay so once the curtains are opened you’d have quite a lot of material bunched up at either side, although you can also get poles that wrap around onto the side walls so you’d push your curtains there.

A pole like that with 5 bends – the two inside the bay then the outside corners – would be quite expensive if you want it to have a pair of curtains that can open to the sides. A cheaper option is either a track – you can get them that long and they’re bent to shape in situ using warm water – or a curtain pole that’s fixed at the inside corners: here, you’d have a curtain on each of the left and right hand windows, then a pair in the middle, so when open the curtains would hang in four parts: outside the bay, and two hanging between the windows.

You can also get double poles if you want to have voiles that hang in place on the inner pole for privacy, then the outer pole holds the curtains.

John Lewis does MTM bay window poles but they’re about £500. A Screwfix track is about £30.

Cheaper yet and maybe less faffy than curtains would be a Roman or roller blind on each window in the bay: try blinds2go or other cheap online MTM options.

Pinterest is your friend here, just search for bay window treatments.

Amazing!!! Are you an interior designer? You should be if not!

RoachTheHorse · 24/11/2022 07:17

No because it's in need of full renovation but I'm following this thread for ideas 🤣

Crestaq · 24/11/2022 07:23

This is mine. It was hard to get the space right as its very big but no obvious layout as the internal doors have altered from when it was built.
I love it now its cosy with the wardrobes making the bedhead and an area with spotlights behind for dressing

@mashh I think they were just from a local pine shop. A relative was getting rid of them and I just painted them. 🙂

Crestaq · 24/11/2022 07:28

This was the bed a few weeks before. A campaign bed.... I loved it but we had to cut it to get it up the stairs and then it was wonky so I took the canopy down

You can get curtain poles that will go around corners...... possibly from ikea if you measure it all up yourself. But you can get a curtain makers to.come and advise you too for more ££.
Definitely do able.
