Master Bedroom - Focal Wall

My dilemma is that my master bedroom is not very square.

It has no walls that are the same length. This makes it difficult for me to select placement of pretty much anything.

How do I go about selecting the focal wall if one side measures 22ft (back wall with two windows), another 21ft (side wall with windows), 18ft (entry to bedroom with door to closet) and 10ft (entry to master bath)

Focus on what's important...
by: Charlotte

Hello

Don't worry - your room doesn't need to be square.

It is best to choose your focal wall by your arrangement of furniture, and function in your room. For example, you might choose your focal wall to be the wall you are faced with when first coming into the room, the wall behind the bed (which may be one and the same), or the wall you look at when you are in bed.

Many people like to choose the wall behind the bed as the focal wall, as the bed is a strong focal point in the room anyway, and this will enhance the bed as the main feature of the room.

You might also like to enhance the wall with windows, as these are another feature you might like to draw attention to (again, this can be the same wall as the one with the bed on it) with pretty drapes and a striking paint or wallpaper on the wall.

It is unlikely that you will want to make a feature in your room out of the closet or bathroom/bedroom doors, so it is probably best to avoid making these the focal wall, unless you have another reason for wishing to do so.

Once you have decided on the focal wall, you can arrange your most important or attractive pieces of furniture in prime position and draw attention to the focal wall with an 'accent' paint or wallpaper, large mirror, fine painting etc.

Remember that this is now the focal point of your room, so try to consider this when making changes in other parts of the room.

I hope this has given you some ideas for your bedroom. Good luck with your makeover.
