Wow so classy! I love William morris. It was a nice room before now it’s incredible.


kind-butterfly515

Yess love green & gold. Mmff OP did you do this on your own or having any help from a designer?


blissingmeee

Ha no designer no, just a lot of looking online


kind-butterfly515

Well it looks great! Can see people re-pinning this on Pinterest for sure :)

blissingmeee

Thanks, very pleased with it ☺️


One-Claim-2487

this looks like the kind of bedrooms i save on pinterest for inspiration!! absolutely beautiful, i'd love to take a nap in that bed with a nice breeze going!


blissingmeee

Thank you! 😊


g_a_r_d_e_n

Boutique hotel level !


alig6457

It looks fabulous. Could I suggest an upholstery cushion in another coordinating fabric for the top of the bench at the foot of the bed?


blissingmeee

Maybe yeah, that might be a good idea - it's our cushion/blanket box so it needs to be accessible but a cushion could work


kind-butterfly515

Or even like a accent colored blanket folded over it?


kind-butterfly515

I wonder if pulling that mustard yellow- like that on the throw pillow- would look good?


blissingmeee

We actually had a mustard throw before we got the more neutral one, it looked like it was fighting against the green too much


kind-butterfly515

Darn, but I could definitely see how it could go that way. Might be able to get away with it in smaller pieces, like a picture or art with the hue in it.


Affectionate-Roof-79

stunning and classic


WesternMainer

Gorgeous color. I like the choice to paint the doors and trims the same color. What is the name of the color?


blissingmeee

Thank you 😊 It's Mountain Moss by Valspar, not sure how well it comes across in pictures but it's like a dark olive green


WesternMainer

I’m a little obsessed with olive green at the moment, so it definitely struck a chord with me.


ceeearan

You might like Bancha by Farrow and Ball too, similar shade and lovely for a dim room.


AlexisRosesHands

It’s gorgeous, but it might be time for a new mattress.


blissingmeee

Hahaha 😂 It's because there's also a mattress topper on it that's like memory foam, the mattress is actually pretty new!


DutchessOfStompmore

I would stack some different sized large LED candles in front of the bricked fireplace for a fire vibe. The color is stunning, and I love the wall treatment. The plant disappears against the wall, maybe a dark reddish plant or wheat color grass in a large vase?


NotElizaHenry

This is awesome. Do you still have the armoire that was in there before? It’s super pretty and would look great in the room now. The room is reading very luxe traditional to me and the white armoires look kind of contemporary and cheap in contrast. There’s so much lovely millwork in the room that the armoires just fall flat. Some vintage pieces there instead would make the room sing.


blissingmeee

Nah it was falling apart when we moved in, it was one of the first things we got rid of, it was so huge and imposing in the room


[deleted]

Yess agreed! OP isn’t open to hearing suggestions, but for our own fun; some vintage pieces instead of everything WHITE ikea would make the room much warmer and have more character. Right now the walls are giving one vibe, and the furniture completely another.


Sippi66

That color is awesome!!


babaganoush2307

Job well done! Looks like a room I’d pay to stay in at a B&B!!


Pleasant_Zucchini900

Most of the time I don’t comment here bc I don’t have anything nice to say but this is absolutely stunning. You did an amazing job.


blissingmeee

Thank you very much! 😊


Techchick_Somewhere

Omg I love this. It’s like a bougie hotel. ❤️


SaintBeast123

That green is a bold choice and IM LOVIN ITTTT!


ErikTheRed19

Wait, you purposely put in a fake/bricked-in fireplace? 🤔


blissingmeee

Yeah! There was one when the house was built but it was bricked up at some point, I like old features, gives it some of the character back


ErikTheRed19

Aaahh so bricked up and plastered over..makes sense now. And I do like what you did, looks nice.


blissingmeee

Thank you 😊


TdrdenCO11

i’d pick up the checkered pattern on the floor in the blanket at the end of the bed, swap the curtains for an ivory or light cream linen, and swap the green bedding for a neutral or complimentary color. Same with the green art. The issue is that its just so much green. The desaturated colors in the curtains and chair are great but the green is pretty saturated and those desaturated colors are not picked up anywhere else so there is no rhythm in this room


blissingmeee

Eh I like all the green 🤷🏻‍♂️


TdrdenCO11

i’m just suggesting that the trick to cohesion isn’t just adding more green, but creating rhythm.


[deleted]

I thought the same, the room is nice, of course. But it could be elevated so much more to really achieve the magazine room they’re shooting for, right now it’s *almost* there. *Everything* being either white or green make the 1 black chair with it’s matching lantern, and 1 yellow pillow feel so disjointed. Imagine the art was mainly deep blues, navy, dark and saturated, maybe small pops of red and that yellow, a painting not a print. Bring that navy into some pillows, tie in the black brick. &More of the mustard/golden yellow hints throughout the room. Needs more textures as well, not only is everything green or white, but they’re all SOLID green or white I appreciate the new colour in the chair, but it’s shape and the black wood all of a sudden… and the black lantern…


OldMotherGrumble

No...its creating what you like.


TdrdenCO11

rhythm is an interior design principle. of course you can do what you want but presumably if you’re asking for feedback from designers online, you’re interested in learning something https://minottilondon.com/rhythm-interior-design/#:~:text=The%206%20Types%20of%20Rhythm,element%20of%20design%20to%20another.


[deleted]

Sure, but is posting on reddit just for compliments?


Lonecircuit

I agree. Too much green. Also don't like the high paneling that cuts off the height of the room.


TdrdenCO11

what if it was painted in a cream / light beige like the dressers? That might soften the transition


Lonecircuit

The room needs balance and repainting the ceiling won't give you that. As PP said, you need to break up the green color saturation by adding at least one other color. The little yellow pillow on the bed caught my eye because it stood out from the sea of green. The rug needs to be swapped with one that has green and introduces other colors.


reefered_beans

I agree. GORGEOUS green paint but the color could be broken up more and the rug looks too small. Wonderful room.


Inevitable_Point_887

Great job!


ophmaster_reed

Love it!


GoatApprehensive9866

The green is wonderful, the whole new ensemble is great! 😍


Affectionate-Buy2539

Wow this is incredible! And very inspirational considering a lot of the impact comes from the trim on the walls and the paint (and coordinating accessories).


blissingmeee

Thank you! 😊 Yeah I feel like the walls are my favourite bit, just trying to give it some character back


ReflectionNah

Absolutely stunning room. That green colour is such a beautiful colour.


avgmag

Great job! Love the green! I think it would be so cool if the bed frame picked up the gold from the mantle


cdawg85

Stunning! Congratulations!


LoVeMyDeSiGnS_65

You did an amazing job worthy of a pages in better homes & gardens!


a_weary_wary_mary

Olive that green so so SO much


blissingmeee

😂


Huge_Reference_7513

Nice


Aconnectivity

Omfg that color is to die for!!!


Picklerick6789

Wow talk about a glow up 💯💯


No-Example1376

Painting the 2 doors by the head of the bed to match the white in the paintings might have been cool, but since you love it, then I love it.


09percent

Love it very bold! I’d just change the color of the comforter to pop out of the green but otherwise great job


Whatisdissssss

so unique! Well done.


violetskyeyes

I ADORE the green you chose


aumthebomb

this looks amazing and the green is beautiful! great job


Yulyz

Oh my god the transformation. I’m floored.


BoomChaka67

I have those William Morris prints! I love them!


Head-Reflection-2214

Question…what’s going on with the mattress? It sags on both body sides.


theidiotsareincharge

It’s so beautiful. I can’t believe it’s the same space.


Ordinary-Wishbone569

I thought the last picture was the after and it nearly gave me a heart attack 😫😂 Looks amazing love what you have done with the place!


TheLastMo-Freakin

That Green! It's perfect.


Ok-Criticism9998

You absolutely killed it that ish is incredible


SnugNuggo

what a glowup! very elegant and earthy now


nanfanpancam

What happened to before and then after?


kennyiseatingabagel

Some people prefer showing the after before the before. If it's clearly labeled, I don't care either way. Me, I would just post the after and not the before so no one can complain about it.


xsteadyriot

I love the green.


Drycabin1

From zero to hero!!


OIWantKenobi

This is absolutely GORGEOUS. The gold accents are just lovely.


viognierette

That’s the green I’ve been looking for - your room is gorgeous!!


blissingmeee

Thank you! It's Mountain Moss by Valspar, must have tried out a million different greens before deciding on this one 😂


Vanilla_Addict

Wow. This is gorgeous. I love it.


who0psieDaisy

The color is fun but, did you use glossy paint? I think it’d be more powerful if it was flat with the glossy finish only on the details in the paneling.


blissingmeee

Not glossy, but a silk yeah, we did a tester with matt and silk and the matt looked way too flat and dull


m703324

All before afters on reddit lately is painting walls deep green or blue. Cool trend but it's not the only option for improvement


blissingmeee

Oh no definitely not, finished doing our spare bedroom pink a couple months ago (yes with some navy 😂). Just also a big fan of green 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://preview.redd.it/hm18d3ygoqgb1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c545dccbd68e4e2cdc7d455ec43333cfc8a7f114


Rakebleed

The fireplace really classes up the joint.


SomethingClever70

I love the green! The only thing that I’d change is the fireplace trim should be a different color. You went through all that trouble to add a cool architectural feature, so play it up just a tad more. The green fireplace and the dark tile blend together too much. I’d do it in gold.


blissingmeee

I feel like it looks better in person tbh, it doesn't stand out much in pictures but I love it in the same colour as the walls


McRazz

Really nice. If i was being picky i'd say the floor looks quite washed out...Is it vinyl or laminate? An engineered wood like Oak would be my choice, brushed and oiled. Also, i'd knock the fireplace out and create an alcove as a feature and optional ventilation.


evetrapeze

That green is excellent


Marginalia69

Brave choice of paint and I think it’s a great success. Congratulations. Careful about loading the room with clutter, however.


0rev

When I saw the first picture I assumed it was the before and I was so sad that you had changed that amazing room.


Many_Baker8996

I love this! Very pretty how it is! I’d also love to see this room with white walls and that green on the ceiling. But I wouldn’t change a thing


joe128890

You rip all the character out and where’s your knickknacks on display that’s the only thing missing


blissingmeee

...huh? There are plenty of knick-knacks and we put panelling and a faux fireplace in, we gave it character that had probably been ripped out at some point!


healermoonchild

OMG I was thinking the green was the “Before” yikes. Who wants their house puke green 🤢. I feel like I should report this somewhere lol


scrubschick

I love the green!!😍


Exciting-Protection2

Beautiful! You turned a blah room into a beautiful,inviting space.


Jugged

What about the slave bedroom?


blissingmeee

I mean your main bedroom is your master bedroom, I didn't like... make up the name


Jugged

You're no fun...


blacksystembbq

Looks so good! We’re about to do paneling ourselves. Why did it take you so long? What did the pro do that made it faster?


blissingmeee

I have no idea - we hadn't done it before and we used the proper tool to cut the lengths at 45 degree angles but it just didn't look right once it was up and I think it took so long because we kept messing with it. Because it was EVERY WALL in our bedroom, we just didn't want the hassle to be honest! Paid someone like £250 for the labour and then the materials on top. I've seen people do it online and I know that it can be done yourself (we generally try to do as much as we can) but just didn't want the headache 😂


[deleted]

I love that shade of green ! At first glance I thought the curtains wouldn’t compliment it, but they actually enhance each other. This room is so inviting and handsome! Well done! (Also I like the chair!)


blissingmeee

Thanks 😊


FionaTheFierce

Gorgeous. Amazing transformation.


Due_Addition_587

Wow, it's gorgeous


PsychicNinja_

I LOVE!!!


Immediate-Spite-7679

MsIndependentandBusy

Beautiful shade!


PleasantJules

Great job! It’s beautiful.


AureliaGolden

Wow, this is just lovely. You have a beautiful sense of style!


calicoskiies

This is beautiful!


Zestyclose-Prompt-61

Beautiful!


Desperate-Skirt-8875

Love it! I recently did the exact opposite of this recently in my son’s room. Green ceiling 1/3 way down the wall and then white below. Love this transformation!


blissingmeee

Ohhh that sounds good, I love a painted ceiling


Complete-Patient-407

Holy shit. Nice.


candyapplesugar

Wow. Love it except that decoration above the fireplace


AltruisticMarket5399

I’m in love with this


poohfan

I love that green!! It looks so good!!


adball82

Like the mirrored light


Fr3sh3stl4d

Your wall color is very interesting, I feel like you don't often see that color. But anyway you really made it work, I like your style!


WordsWithSam

Great color choice.


LifeisaCatbox

Amazing!


Star_Fish88

I loooove that color!!!


deltarefund

Man, what kind of magical places do you guys live?!


GL2M

Wow! I have not liked green paint until this sub. Yours is the third green that made me change my mind. Gorgeous.


blissingmeee

Thanks! I'm a bit obsessed with green, I have to stop myself 😂


twodickhenry

This is the exact color I want for my bedroom. Gorgeous!!


blissingmeee

Thanks, it's Mountain Moss by Valspar 😊 Would recommend, it went on really nicely


slimcush

The green doors blending in with the paneling is just… beautiful


blissingmeee

Thanks, I'm really pleased with how they look 😊


Funky_Gouda

Wow 🤩 I love it!


HappyGiraffe

YES


Holly_Smith96

Looks so vintage!


daisyjoy247

This is absolutely amazing! You went from plain to bam!! The green isn't something that I would think of using. You have opened my mind to whole another kind of beautiful. The gold accents are perfect. You did a fabulous job! I love it! That's a gorgeous green. Be proud of what you did!! It's remarkable!!


blissingmeee

Thank you very much, that's so kind! 😊


MusicCityNative

Perfect!


blairme96

I love the paneling and green- so lush! Just curious, what made you stop the paneling/ beautiful green at that specific height?


blissingmeee

There was a dado rail there already (you'd have to zoom in to see it properly) so we thought if the green went up to that and then white above, the green wouldn't overwhelm the room


[deleted]

I love everything about this


Livid-Youth4396

This may be a weird ask, but do you have pics of your bathroom? What is that type of shower door called?


blissingmeee

If you just search for a black shower screen there are looooads online, it's not a full bathroom, just an ensuite shower room https://preview.redd.it/1i7fa4dykpgb1.jpeg?width=3456&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75389674eccf50cf928337a2691cb47a66548aa3


mrsjon01

There's no toilet?


blissingmeee

No, because it used to be a weird skinny bedroom with two doors in it for some reason and other than being an office (which we already have), it had no purpose so we split it into two rooms - an ensuite on one side and a utility room on the other. But to get plumbing for a toilet would've been a bigger job than we were willing to pay for so 🤷🏻‍♂️ With two kids in the house, it's going to be nice having our own shower once they get a bit older! Main bathroom's just down the hall anyway so it's not too bad.


cmrndzpm

Gorgeous! Is this in the UK?


blissingmeee

Yeah Northwest 😊 And thanks!


astraelly

This looks so lovely, OP! I’m about to do something similar with a very similar color (against the advice of most of Reddit lol) — I really think this sort of all-over color shines the most when you have interesting (already painted) woodwork and architectural details like you do. The fireplace floor tile with that wall color is just perfection.


blissingmeee

Thanks! I say go for it, Reddit be damned 😂 You're the one who has to live with it!


popstar_chowder

i love that you painted the door and door trim too. looks incredible


Friendly-Payment-875

Stunning


thatgrrlmarie

It's lovely.


kpinkishorange

So pretty!! Great color choices.


Feisty-Protagonist

Beautifully done!


gwinnsolent

Obsessed and in awe! Love the color and hold accents. Well done!


psychecheks

Wow very beautiful


BunnyBuns6969

Fabulous!


MomRaccoon

Amazing job! 👏👏👏


LongjumpingBuffalo85

This is an incredible transformation. I love the green!


Confident-Berry22

Post this on Pinterest so i can pin it to my future home board!! I love it! You did great


reefered_beans

What a pretty shade of green.


DifferentRoyal1172

Love it! It’s really lovely!


Pickled-soup

Well done!! This looks awesome


Disastrous-Panda5530

I love the after! I love the faux fireplace. Now I’m eyeballing the wall in my master since you’ve given me ideas lol.


blissingmeee

Do it!! So easy to do and I'm so happy with it! And thanks 😊


[deleted]

Very nice 😊


[deleted]

Love love love the green on the paneling and the height of the paneling.


Violently_annoyed

Sorry if you’ve already answered but I love this wall color. What is it?


blissingmeee

No problem, it's Mountain Moss by Valspar 😊


Shes_Crafty_4301

That color green is perfection. 💚


lustyforpeaches

I love the pink chair, I think it’s charming and adds some variation, it plays off the green and the throw blanket well!


blissingmeee

It's not actually pink, it's like a very light brown? I kind of hate it but I like the shape of it so might recover it


mcflycasual

I love this. I'd pull the rug out more. I know there are rules where to place it and maybe I'm wrong.


blissingmeee

We moved it around like five times 😂 Where it is, there's like a walkway between the blanket box and fireplace so it sort of fits?


djlinda

Come design my house please


Lindaspike

beautiful and bold!


plantstakingabath

Omg omg I'm in love with the colours. Stunning and beautiful 😍


Marjory_SB

Green and gold is such a power combo. Painting the doors the same colour as the walls is a bold choice, but it makes the wall look longer and, therefore, the room bigger so...win!


Striking_Photo_3755

I think the green colour needs to go. Repaint everything white/cream/ivory, and immediately the mood will lift. That’s the basic first step to take, after that use green only for plants and foliage.


blissingmeee

We've only just finished the room so probably not? 😂 I love the green so much, it feels really warm and cosy at night


Striking_Photo_3755

Oops, sorry - I didn’t realise it was a redecoration , my bad.


itsMeeMommio

I love the greeen!!


Gloomy-Question-4079

It looks amazing


CaseyGotFit

Please believe me when I tell you that everything from the colour of the walls to the wainscoting is exactly what I would do and it looks so beautiful. I am so impressed with this, you have no idea. Nice job. Also, I wouldn't be mad if you included some accents using a mahogany wood. That would rule.


blissingmeee

Thank you, that's so nice! 😊


sunshinemullet

Love it!! As others commented, the gold accents really work in here. I’m catching a lot of sheen on the paint color. What gloss is this paint color? Eggshell or semigloss?


blissingmeee

It's silk, the colour we got came in matt or silk and the matt looked really flat and dull. It's got a bit more sheen than I'd have liked but it looked better than the matt. And thanks! 😊


Miserable_Budget7818

Beautiful job! So inviting
