Master Bedroom with Curved Headboard and Mural Wall

That is a bamboo print mural, run full height behind the bed and boxed in by ribbed wood panels on each side. The panels give the paper a frame so its edges do not just stop mid-wall. A mural is the cheapest way to get a large, soft image on a wall at this scale. Keep it to the headboard wall only, or it turns from a feature into wallpaper.

It slides rather than swings because the bed sits close to that wall, and hinged shutters would have needed clearance the layout cannot spare. The doors are bronze-tinted glass, so you sense what is inside without it fully on show. Inside there is hanging space, shelves and drawers, lit by a strip along the top. The catch is that only half opens at once.

Recessed spots do the general lighting, kept tight so they wash the mural rather than the whole floor. A single globe pendant drops beside the bed, freeing the surface below for a book or a glass. The wardrobe has its own strip inside. There is no ceiling fan, which keeps the ceiling flat above the bed.

Opposite the bed a TV hangs on a plain wall above a floating ledge, so the screen does not crowd the mural wall. Full-height curtains run along one side in a soft grey, with a mirror panel behind them that adds depth to a narrow room. The bedside tables float off the floor rather than standing on legs, which makes a smaller room look less full. Bedding is kept in navy blue to give the pale scheme one deeper note.

Of the ways to cover a big wall, a printed mural is one of the cheaper, but the cost swings on the finish. A wipeable single-piece print costs more than standard rolls, and it is worth it behind a bed where hands and headrests touch the surface. The ribbed wood frames on either side add carpentry, so they are the part that lifts the bill. Print size and paper grade decide the total, so get a quote against your exact wall before ordering.

Almost everything here can change without touching the layout. Swap the bamboo print for any large-scale image you like, keeping the ribbed frames so the proportion holds. The headboard can be redone in a different fabric or colour, and a deeper foam changes how upright you sit to read. If you prefer more privacy than tinted glass gives, the wardrobe can take solid or grooved shutters on the same sliding track. The one fixed point is the sliding gear, since the bed leaves no room to swing doors.

This suits a compact bedroom better than it looks. The sliding wardrobe is the key move, since it needs no swing space, and floating bedside tables free the floor a small room cannot spare. Drop the pendant if the ceiling is low and use wall reading lights. A curved headboard still works at a smaller width. Protect the walkway past the foot of the bed, so size the bed to leave it clear.
