On the left side of the entry hall is the bathroom and on the opposite side is the sleeping area with a double bed. It is bordered by the wardrobes and a folding screen partition which separates it from the kitchen area.

The fully fitted open-kitchen is set on the right side. An island bench sits in the centre with stools on one side and a cabinet on the other.

How to hide a tube from the air-conditioner in my bedroom?

ADVICE

Reader's question:

"In my bedroom I have installed an air-conditioner. The problem is, that a tube from the airconditioner to the outer wall (around 50cm long) is visible from the interior. Under the tube is the bedside cabinet. Could I do something to cover the tube?"

Our recommendations:

From your message we deduct the arrangement of the furniture and we propose two solutions.

  • A' Solution:

Over the bed and over the bedside cabinets, you can place symmetrically two boxes (made of wood or gypsum boards). One of the boxes will camouflage the tube. Under the boxes, they can be hanged two long lamps that will also function as bedside lamps. 

The boxes can be painted with a dark tone while the wall behind the headboard can be decorated with wallpaper or with wall decals.

What color should I paint my bedroom?

ADVICE

Reader’s question

"I want to change my bedroom. I have a dark brown leather bed and two dark wooden nightstands. I also have a breakfast trolley and a mirror with wooden frame. Which color should I paint the walls, dark gray or dark blue?"

 

Our recommendation
Brown color is a versatile option as it can be combined with many different colors. However brown and blue combination is one of the most traditional, timeless combinations. Brown furniture and blue walls create a striking look in any room, especially in the bedroom. Almost all shades of blue blend with brown, but it is important to get a balance between the two colors, so a pleasant feeling in the space can be raised.
