Can you put pics up that show the room from all angles?

If that were my room, I'd 86 the bed frame because it's such a small room and the bed frame takes up an enormous amount of space. I'd put the bed on a simple metal frame and put it up against the window, where there is room on each side for a table and lamp.

Then I'd hang drapes from each end of the wall, closing them just to the point of the window openings, which gives an illusion of a huge widow on that wall, which will make the room feel larger.

I'd paint the room blue, only because I love blue bedrooms (BM Yarmouth Blue is a gorgeous blue. Like being in the sea). There is something about waking up in a blue bedroom that is so nice. Hmmmm….

Crisp white sheets with a duvet cover with a simple pattern in a subtle color.

White bedside tables, not matching, with a fun lamp, not matching, on each.

The bed is lovely, and I would let it be the star of the room.

First, tuck in the bedding u dear the mattress for a cleaner, finished look. The coverlet at the foot of the bed should be folded longways in thirds or fourths and draped across (a narrower profile than it has now), not tucked in of course.

Would use curtains on a wooden 2" diameter rod with wood rings in a finish to match or a little lighter than the bed. Off white background crewel fabric that incorporates brown and other colors. I'd also replace the blind with a bamboo shade unless that is just not practical because the person using it would have trouble raising and lowering the shade.

Artwork:. Would look for something you like to incorporate colors from the curtain fabric, OR go to garage sales, yard sales, thrift shops, and get all sorts of portraits ( I would do all women or all kids or all men, etc., or have similar frames as the unifying principle) and just add to it as you find them.

Maybe a slipper chair in the corner opposite the window, either upholstered in crewel or a muted tattersall plaid of varying shades of beige.

How often do you have guests? One guest or two staying in that room?

Tibbrix's advice on moving the bed is a very good suggestion and would look great. Additionally, I would let guest comfort guide the decorating choices. Adding color will make the room so pleasant for your guests. You can add color in artwork, throw pillows, a throw blanket or quilt, and curtains. If you have two guests, a second beside table is needed. Taller, lighter colored lamps would look better and be more usable for the guests, whether you move the bed or not. It looks like a small room, so if you do keep the bed where it is, can you do a large piece of artwork on the wall facing it. It doesn't look like you have room for a dresser, but is there room for a small bookcase or console table where you can put guest amenities like fresh towels?

Thank everyone for all the great ideas!! We have quests often and mostly it will be only one person in the room but occasionally two. I would love to replace the bed but just moved into a new home with tons of furniture to buy so will have to deal with what I have. The bed is a queen so makes the room look even smaller than it is. A small bookcase is a great idea. I also love the idea of a small chair. I wish I had a clue how to decorate unfortunately that talent did not make the gene pool. Thank you so much for all your great ideas. I will be going out to buy two matching bedside tables, two new lamps and if lucky, drapes and maybe a small bookcase. Artwork will be on my list as well.

Agree w/prettybluehouse re: taller bedside lamps, for reading.

RE: kswl's suggestion to keep the frame: The headboard, okay, but I would get rid of the footboard. Again, room, but that would also allow guests to sit on the end of the bed, open the closet doors better, etc.

What is in the closet? For a guest room, you need only small hanging space. Can you put shelving up on one half of the closet for folded clothes and towels, and the other half have a bar on which to hang dresses and suit coats, etc.?

Also, have hooks somewhere in the room on which they can hang their wet towels if the bath is a shared bath.

Wow, if I could just have a small degree of those ideas in my head. I like the idea of removing the footboard. I do have shelves in the closet and a couple bars for hanging clothes. There is also a nice size closet for towels etc. before you walk into the guest bath. I love the idea of hanging a few hooks for the wet towels.

Be sure to check craigslist for affordable bedside tables. They don't have to match, just be similar in height so your lamps don't look too uneven. Some people like the symmetrical look of matching tables and lamps, as shown in Tibbrix's pic. I don't mind mismatched and rather prefer it, but I like either the tables or the lamps to be a matched set (unless you've got a great eye for pairing mismatched things).

If you're getting new side tables, be sure to make them taller than what's there now. As it is tight, you may want to consider using wall-hung lamps instead which would leave the side table surfaces clear.

I agree with removing the footboard for more space and definitely get drapes for the window. I think you need a color scheme though that will help remove the beige blahs...either on the drapes, or, as you want a color to appear at least 3 times, put it in the throw at the foot of the bed, the bed pillows and art work. Beige is so neutral, you can go in any direction. But I'm thinking brighter would be better. Maybe something with poppies?

I can see it now. I need much taller side tables. I really like the idea of wall lamps too! Love the poppys. I will have to buy matched tables. I could never figure out how to put together mismatched tables. I will check Craigs list. Great idea!!

What are the dimensions of the room? Do you even have room for nightstands on the window wall? How does the window open? The window will be behind the headboard so you may have no access to it. Then in the winter, your head gets cold being so close to the window. I'm forced into that layout of bed in front of window in my guest room because I have a dresser that only fits on the wall at the foot of the bed. I really prefer windows clear of large furniture.

The bed is gorgeous and it's a shame not to use the headboard and footboard. Could it go in the MB? Then you could buy a full size guest bed, keep it on the current wall, and fit in a nightstand or two. I like Annie's idea of wall lamps when space is limited. I'd get nightstands with drawers since you don't have a dresser for socks and undies. Your neutral walls and bedding are fine--just pick an accent color for accessories.

Also remember, bedside tables don't have to be high quality....just pretty :). If you don't have any luck on Craigslist or thrift stores, take a look at stores like Target for "occasional tables". I have attached a link just as an example. I have a king sleigh bed on a narrow wall and could not use the matching night stands because they were too wide. I picked up a couple of cute little tiered tables from Target that go well with the bed. I think they were something like $69-$79 each. They only need to be sturdy enough to hold a lamp, clock, tissues, etc. You could even look for wrought iron or glass.

Occasional Tables - Target

That's really a beautiful bed. I actually like footboards so I'd want to keep it. I think panels from the corners to the edge of the windows would look great. Also something bright like the poppies print. I think you already have a lot going for you in that room and just a few tweaks will make it exceptional.

I found this picture that for the big empty wall. Anyone think this will work?

I also found this chair to bring out the color in the picture. I have lots of other empty spaces both the picture and chair can go so no hurt feelings if everyone says thumbs down.

I do have plenty of space on both sides of the bed for tables. I hadn't thougth of trying Target. Thank you.

Love, love, love both the chair and the painting.

Yes, nice! Soothing colors. I'll second the Target suggestion for nightstands. I have Target nightstands in my guest room and they're just fine for occasional use. Target might have some cheap and cheerful window panels for you too, if you want to got that route. It's a little hard to tell on a computer but these might work:

Mirrors are great at helping open up small spaces, adding light and dimension. Whether plain or fancy, they are almost always welcome in a room, and there is a size to fit every space. Love the bed!

Though I think beds in front of windows look beautiful, I find them very impractical. Open headboard or not they make it almost impossible to open and close the windows. This is what I would do if this were my own guest room and had the space to do so. I too would suggest removing the foot board if possible as it takes up so much room. That's what our son did with his bed which is very similar to yours.
Though I love window panels, in your small room, you might be better off without them as they do take up valuable space.

I wouldn't use either the chair or the print with that style of bed or with the shades of beige in the room, but obviously that's just one person's opinion.

Love the chair and print. (and possibly the tarjay curtains as well if they mesh in real life)

Leave the bed where it's located, and to gain a bit more room, you could change out the side rails and footboard for a simple metal frame. Shop around & you might find one for less than $50. Then if decorating is not your forte, purchase a prematched set of items like this Waverly set available from a variety of retailers. This queen set is from Kohls and the reversible quilt, pillow shams, bed skirt is on sale for $134. Has a matching valance. Depending on the size of your window you might need a few to install on a single rod.

Nightstands are from Target, but I'm sure there are lots of this type available from Wayfair or Overstock too. I selected this style because it has drawers for your guests. Select one that is close to the height of your mattress. The lamps are from Target online also. Add some artwork and the room is done until more funds are available.

Great suggestions about taller bedside tables and better lighting. Somethings I find useful for a guest room include a wall mirror (full lenght is nice), a small chest of empty drawers, plenty of hangers, a place to put an open suitcase, some magazines, tissue, a small chair, and a ceiling fan.
