Ideas for sad, clinical, bare bedroom

[bedroomdecorideas]

nc for this. Need ideas to inject warmth and colour into our bedroom. In desperate need of a cosy sanctuary to retreat to rather than a clinical lab!!!

Bed is the only thing that must stay. We need paint/wallpaper, new curtains and bedding, plus all finishing touches eg pictures, lamps, rug etc.

We have 6 drawer ikea Malm - I’ve included photos of it at diff ends of room. We need a new (mirrored) wardrobe. There’s obv not enough room for two pieces of bulky furniture - so either the Malm or new wardrobe will go in the spare room. Dressing table can also be moved to spare room if needed.

there is a tiny ensuite too which needs a privacy door/screen too.

please help!

It looks like you have a fair bit of space beside the bed on each side. Can you split the malm and have one chest of drawers each side as a beside table? That's what we have done as otherwise there would be dead space there. Large mirror on wall opposite the window, wardrobe and dressing table opposite the end of the bed.
I'd keep bedding white, find a colour you like and paint a wall or use wallpaper, then add cushions and a throw on the bed to bring it all together. Some nice shelves with pics and plants on. Please post after pics!

I think you could keep everything as it is but add some 'boho' touches for warmth. Warmth doesn't necessarily mean a lot of strong colours. You can add softer colours, natural fabrics and plants to get the warm vibe...

That's a lovely room- a nice big French style ornate mirror, a fluffy colourful rug , couple of modern but colourful jugs with some dried grasses/flowers and some artwork would quickly brighten it up- I would also have more colourful bed linen- but I appreciate that not everyone goes for colours or patterns.

Pictures pictures pictures! Choose some lovely prints. That'll instantly inject colour and personality. And as other people have said - plants and rugs.
