Making Velvet TV Beds Work in Rooms with Bay Windows
A velvet TV bed works well in a room with a bay window when the headboard sits against a solid wall rather than inside the bay, the screen is positioned so daylight does not reflect straight off it, and the velvet is protected from long hours of direct sun with lined curtains or blinds. The bay itself can then become a reading nook or dressing area. In this guide we explain how to plan the layout of a bay window bedroom, choose a velvet colour that suits the light, manage glare on the television and dress the window in a way that complements the bed. We also cover rugs, accent chairs and caring for velvet in a bright room. These ideas are shaped around the Victorian and Edwardian homes found across the UK, where bay windows bring generous light and character but can make furniture placement less straightforward than in a simple square room....
