Master Bedroom with Cane Wardrobe and Forest Wallpaper

The walls carry a forest print wallpaper, a cream ground covered in small trees, deer, elephants and peacocks. It wraps the whole room rather than sitting on one feature wall, which is why the furniture was kept plain and low. A busy print like this needs quiet pieces around it. The pattern hides minor marks better than paint, though it is harder to patch if a strip is ever damaged.

It is an openable wardrobe with hinged doors, framed in dark wood with cane webbing set into each shutter. The cane lets a little air move through, which suits a wardrobe on an outside wall. Handles sit on the front, so these swing open rather than slide. The dark frame grounds the lighter wallpaper next to it. Because it runs tall, it holds long hanging space and a loft above without eating floor area.

A floor to ceiling window runs down one side of the room and gives it an outside view with steady daylight. Full height glass like this makes even a mid-size bedroom feel larger. Floor length curtains in a taupe shade cover it when you want the room dark. The glass faces open ground rather than a wall, so the light stays bright through the day without another building blocking it.

The wooden chest of drawers sits against the wardrobe wall and takes the daily clothes you do not hang, folded shirts and inner wear. Three deep drawers give more usable depth than a set of shallow ones. Its top doubles as a surface for a lamp or a tray. Keeping it separate from the wardrobe means one person can dress without opening the tall shutters, useful when the room is shared.

Two things carry most of the budget here, the wallpaper and the cane work. A full-room forest print costs more than paint because you pay for the paper and the careful matching at every seam. Cane shutters are hand-set, so the wardrobe costs more than a plain laminate one. Flooring, curtains and the chest are the easier line items to adjust. Choose the wallpaper and the cane first, then trim elsewhere.

Yes, with two changes. Drop the full-room wallpaper to a single wall behind the bed so a compact room does not feel closed in. Keep the low channel headboard, since a tall one shrinks a small space. A cane front wardrobe still works, but a sliding version saves the swing clearance that hinged doors need. The forest print and the wood tones carry the same character at a smaller scale without crowding the floor.

Cane needs the least fuss, a dry dust every week and an occasional wipe with a barely damp cloth so the weave does not soak up water. The wallpaper wants the same light touch, no scrubbing, just soft dusting near the top. Keep the curtains drawn in the harshest afternoon sun to stop the print fading over years. If a cane panel ever splits, it can be re-webbed on its frame.
