Put the wardrobes in the recess
Painted doors follow the wall beside the fireplace, keeping clothes storage within the room's existing outline. Their pale finish lets the olive bed remain the strongest block of colour when viewed from the doorway.

An illustrated concept for London Edwardian bedroom.
Olive velvet gives this Edwardian bedroom concept a strong centre. Closed wardrobes fit beside the fireplace, while generous bedside tables keep everyday clutter close to the bed and out of sight.
See the product sourcesThe olive headboard is allowed to be the big gesture because the storage is already accounted for. Tall painted cupboards occupy the wall beside the fireplace, and each greyed-oak bedside has a drawer with a shelf below. That leaves the bed free to carry the colour: dark olive upholstery, pale striped bedding and a rust throw across the foot. The brass lamps are small enough to leave useful tabletop space. Their pleated metal shades also bring a sharper glint beside the matt velvet and the room's pale plaster.

Leave a little bedside landing space
Each table has room beside its lamp for small everyday objects. The drawer hides the less decorative ones, and the open shelf offers somewhere for books without building a tower next to the pillow.
What to borrow
Work out the clothes storage before choosing a statement bed. Once the bulky pieces have a place, repeat a smaller warm accent in the bedding and keep the bedside surfaces useful enough for a drink, a book and whatever needs charging.
