Have you got a fabulous bedroom?

I need inspiration. We are ready now to do the whole thing, wardrobes, bed, carpets, curtains, the lot.

The room is quite awkward with a dormer window and chimney breast plus windows on 2 walls so not one long flat wall in the whole room.

For this reason and because i have far too many clothes to fit in current room I am sure I am going for fitted wardrobes. Thinking White or cream gloss.

What are the most stylish fitted wardrobes you've seen?
Then I need to match a bed to the wardrobes which is proving a bit tricky, a straight match or something complementary? I'm liking beds with a natural coloured fabric headboard at the moment, like john lewis' Erin and claudia.

The for the rest of the room I was going to going silvery pale blue, one wall or chimney breast patterned paper, rest plain. But i decided this a couple of years ago and am now thinking this may be a bit dated. Am now wondering about bolder patterns and colours, maybe yellow or red, big flowers or birds?

I would like the room to feel bigger! Total budget about £6k.

Any inspiration warmly welcomed.

TIA

Oh goodie, love doing up rooms! Your bedroom sounds lovely.

We have bought Mirabel wasabi for our bedroom wall. We were very tempted to use Mirabel nori, which is a lovely black, white and silver version. A mix between French and Japanese design. We tested at home and found that the nori looked great in an east facing room, but faded somewhat under the bright light of our south/west facing bedroom.

Anyway, here is a link, with loads of other bird theme wall paper as well

Oh yes, that is super, thank you. I think I like it in cerise actually. Will order some samples now and test in room, the chimney breast is very sunny.
