How about a tapestry for above the bed? check homedecorators.com

What color and style is your bedding? Any accent colors in the room?

How much open floor space do you have? Room for a pretty little upholstered chair (if it won't just become a dumping ground) or a small secretary in a corner? With the cherry furniture a painted piece in black would look very nice. A floor lamp and a lower floor plant next to it and Bob's your uncle, a very nice little cozy corner. Fake ficus are a little bit predictable and IMO overdone, try a good-sized faux dieffenbachia or philodendron, or put a faux fern or ivy on an elegant plant stand. (Wrought iron, maybe?) Just make sure you keep them clean and put them in nice cachepots or urns. Every bedroom needs a wastebasket, so make it an attractive one.

If the beige carpet needs some jazzing up, you can put a small area rug over it using a special pad that sticks it down to the carpet. I always liked the look of a runner on each side of the bed - they don't have to match. Thinner rugs work better than thick ones.

Although some people do not like them, I like dried flowers very much, although I am probably biased because my mother makes beautiful wreaths and arrangements (which is half the reason why I have four LOL). Keep them dusted with a can of compressed air (sold at office supply stores for cleaning computers' innards) and they won't get all gunky which is one of the reasons why a lot of people dislike them. Avoid obviously-dyed flowers and stick to the natural stuff. I once had a big sheaf of dried spray roses in a wall basket - they had been a gift from a sweetheart, but crafts stores like Michaels have them quite inexpensively. White flowers turn a lovely parchment color when dried, if they have not been bleached.
As for other wall decor - take a look around at some catalogs that show room scenes to get an idea of what appeals to you. Your bedroom should reflect you and your interests so that it does not appear generic. Maybe it's architectural artifacts like wrought iron, maybe it's shelves with small sculptures and natural objects, maybe it's a collection of little framed mirrors or a handmade fabric wall-hanging. Take a look around this forum's Gallery too, to see if any of our members have done something that revs your engine. Should you want a tapestry, instead of a mass-produced one that you could get from a hundred different outlets, check out Novica.com for some gorgeous handmade ones and other artwork from independent artisans around the world.

If you live in earthquake country, use very good wall anchors or hangers to hold anything except a lightweight tapestry above or near your bed. "Oook" makes some excellent hangers that are available at Home Depot - they are rated for heavy weights (I always go overboard on that anyway, better too much than not enough) and have a tongue that keeps things from jumping off the hook. Use a product called QuakeHold to anchor things onto shelves so they don't fall.

Wow, Thanks for the great ideas and recommendations. I haven't gone through everything yet, but I will. To try and answer some of your initial questions..

- The bedding is a burgundy/wine color with gold damask running through it. It looks very nice against the cherry furniture; olive green walls and beige rug. I have a night table on each side of the bed and right now, I have a brass lamp on one of the tables and a small planter on the other.

- There aren't really accent colors persay, although all the trim; including triple crown molding and closets are painted white. The room does have an attached Master bath where I have used a lighter shade of green for the walls (same color family) with the burgundy accents (ie: rugs, etc.)

- I have some floor space on one end of the room near the closets which I could ceratinly consider a charir of some type. I definitely have some space between the dresser and armoire where a floor plant can be placed.

- One thing I didn't mention was that the room is also used as quasi-office, so at one corner, I have a cherry desk and a computer, etc.

- I agree that the room needs to reflect my interests. I do have two beautiful pictures of two universities that myself or my family attended that are framed in cherry wood (one is the gold dome of the iniversity of Notre Dame).

I was even thinking maybe soem mounted candle holders on each side of the mirror above the dresser but I can't seem to find any. I'm thinking something like a sconce, but no light - just a place to hold a candle. If you know were to find that let me know.

- i'm not a huge tapestry fan, but in reviewing the link you sent, they do have some beautiful ones.

- Finally, I do agree with you on adding some thin carpet maybe on each side of the bed because the beige does look a little washed out for a room that measures 27' by 14'.

Thanks again.
