Master bedroom interior design help!

I love the idea of mixing a bit of yellow in there! Would never have thought of that ?

Would you go for the carpet being a biscuit colour? I'm keen not to go for anything too wild on the bits that aren't easily replaced like that. We've got brown carpets in the other upstairs rooms but they are more darker brown than biscuit

One of the walls in my living room is that colour, and we have a grey couch and biscuit coloured carpet that goes great with it, so sounds similar to what Jo has said. We don't have any yellow, but have oak wood which is kind of gold toned, and my gold Christmas decs go with it well so presume that's the same priciple!

I chose the wall colour, and then MF chose the rest. Pains me to admit it's his doing!!! I'll take a pic of wall, chair and carpet combo to let you see it.

We have an ottoman bed, what would you like to know?

(Can't help with the other stuff, I'm rubbish!)

I have those curtains in my living room - good taste!

I have a charcoal/silver/plum colour scheme going on. I have a feature wall (which you can see in the christmas thread) and the rest of the walls are painted in a light grey.

Ooh thanks everyone. JoJo I love your house, can I move in with you instead?! Just tell Flynn to budge up on the sofa haha!

I'm loving this bed https://www.next.co.uk/g492712s2

OB is your ottoman bed got drawers in it or does the whole thing lift up? I also like this one but not sure what's best for storage space, obvs drawers are better for day to day access but will i end up with the same total space? https://www.bensonsforbeds.co.uk/bed-frames/hip-hop-ottoman-bed-frame?variantSku=HUBHIP006

And in searching the lovely laura ashley for wallpaper I came across this which is a) lovely and b) it's exactly the same wallpaper as is in our other bedroom in a different colour!! How ironic..

We've got a bed with drawers and I like it. I don't know much about ottoman beds so can't compare.

I like that wallpaper nutty.

We have the whole of the underneath of the bed, like the bensons one you linked. You get a lot more storage space that way than by having drawers, and also, we have bedside drawers that would block access to the first draw on the other bed.

I can take you a photo of under our bed if you like so you can see just how much we’ve crammed in?

I was worried about it being a pain and not as accessible, but honestly it is SO easy to use. You just pull the handle and it lifts itself up, grab what you want and push it back down again. The only way it would be a problem is if you get up at different times and stored things you needed under the bed. So if we wanted to keep underwear etc under there it would have been no good for us as H gets up way earlier than me! We do store PJ’s under there but go to bed together so that isn’t a problem.

Opening it doesn’t ruin how you’ve made the bed either, it comes back down in position

We had this too, but it was actually a really simple problem once we figured it out! The gas canisters had been pre screwed together the wrong way round!!

Jo when you said you were looking at moving, I thought about your wallpaper! I'm areadly not wanting to leave mine, which is stupid as we are going to be here for good few years yet! MF agrees it's good wallpaper.

We have a divan bed, it's really useful, just has two massive drawers. I think they are really sturdy and comfy. Cheap to change up if you want by getting a new headboard. I know some people think they are outdated, and don't like that you have to use a valance but I don't mind and quite like my box valance!

That IS a lot of storage ?

I used to have a divan actually when I was in rented but I do love a wooden bed now sorry girls, nowt against your divans though!!

Think I might go for a cheeky browse round the shops at the weekend while my wall is being torn down!

Good to hear about LA wallpaper being good to work with (not that I intend to do it myself haha, that's what my little doss brother is for!)

Picking up ideas of what do with the 'guest' room once my SD moves out... I love the purple and yellow idea!

If you are after wallpaper I would NOT recommend Next wallpaper, really hard to work with!

I love my LA wallpaper I have it in my living room and have bought some from the sale for the hall and landing when they had their 50% off sale (they will probably have this after xmas if you hang on, and I got my wallpaper down from £37 to a the £15 ish mark) gives you more money to buy other stuff?

Love the colours.

I'd love wall paper but we've just spent lots of money getting the walls replastered so my husband refused to get them covered in paper!

Thanks for the tip. I really like Next's stuff and we will be doing more work to our house next year.

Jo.. my living room one is "isodore" (I think) in the charcoal/gold/cream.. cant remember what the hall one is.. I will take pics and put it on sange's post

Update! So the wall came down this weekend, here's a before and after pic, I'm annoyed that hitched won't let me put them up the right way but ho hum.

So today we have a plasterer in to make it all pretty and good! Then instead of sitting back and watching other people do work we have to crack on with decorating ☹️ My head is so fuddled with the end idea that I'm now trying to just do 1 step at a time, so we're going to get some tester paints later, ranging from magnolia to yellow, see what looks best.

JoJo and ATB you will be amused to know I am now considering a divan.. mainly due to realising that having a frame on a bed adds another 10mm to the size that will take away from how many chests of drawers I can have ?. Thinking of getting a fitted bedroom consultant to come round and give us some ideas!!
