- Where does the bed have to go?
- Wherever the door swing, the window and the radiator allow, which in a normal bedroom is one obvious wall. Every version on this page keeps the bed where the real room puts it, because a style that only works after you move the bed is not a style you can use.
- The before photo has one nightstand. Do the renders add a second?
- Some do, and it is the most common way a render gets ahead of the room. A second nightstand needs about half a metre of clear wall that this bedroom does not obviously have. Treat a matched pair in a render as an illustration of the look, not a shopping instruction.
- Do bold colours belong in a room you sleep in?
- They can, with one caveat worth being honest about: a colour that reads as cosy at night can read as loud at seven in the morning. The safer version of a bold look puts the colour behind the bed, where you never see it while lying in it, and keeps the wall you face pale.
- What changes a bedroom most for the least money?
- Bedding, curtains and light, roughly in that order. Full-height curtains hung wide of the window do more for proportion than most furniture, and swapping recessed downlights for a lamp beside the bed changes the room after dark more than a repaint would.
- The app says 200+ styles. Why are there 21 here?
- These 21 are the ones this exact bedroom has been photographed in, 64 versions in total. Each one was rendered from the same photo and then written up by a person, which is slower than listing styles. The app gives you the full set on your own bedroom; this page gives you the checked subset on a real one.
- Can I keep my existing bed frame?
- In most of these, yes. Boho, Eclectic, Maximalist, Coastal and Transitional are carried by textiles and walls rather than the frame. The looks that genuinely want a specific bed are the low-slung ones — Japandi and Warm Minimalist read differently on a tall frame — and the pages for those say so.
