Believe it or not, decent looking ceiling fans exist. On every design show I've ever seen they're the first things to be thrown out, but I have them in every bedroom. Mmm slight draft at night without the sound of floor fan... I pspent no fewer than 18 weeks looking (off and on) for a "pretty" one to go in my master. I have lived with a 4 poster bed. My experience - unless you have really high ceilings, and I'm talking like 10 ft, and a sizeable room, it will turn your space into... tiny. Once upon a time in a previous life I thought I had a big bedroom until I put a poster bed in there. I like your computer nook. I always wanted a space like that, which I could separate from the rest of the room with some romantic drapery tied back. I might force that idea on my formal dining room. :) beds/headboards coverin ga window do bother me. I don't like anything to cover a window (couch, table, or otherwise) -- but that's just me. And if it came down to a queen bed, or covering that window, sure - the window would get covered! We have single panels on our two bedroom windows, mostly because they're skinny and it looked silly to me to have two panels. If you need to cover the window, something that seems to help (at least when I've seen it done) is to pull the bed away from the wall a foot or so. Then you can go with two panels, and it looks kind of intentional instead of "didn't have space." Something else to keep in mind with blocking windows -- does the sun come directly in such that it would fade your bedding over time?

Hi everyone! Thank you so much again for your help and guidance. I thought I should pop in here for a quick update (I just hate when people post a question and never update their resolution!). It took almost 2 years but I'm finally at a good place with the bedroom decor. We ended up putting the bed up against the window because of symmetry and it also opened up a big space at the foot of the bed where we can play with our dog. We also ended up with a queen bed instead of a king. We don't mind the bed in front of the window at all. The bed has a wire headframe and barely blocks the light. We just need to hang some pictures or paintings and I think I can call the bedroom done! Thank you again for all of your wonderful suggestions and advice!

Thank you, I’m actually going to consider painting the top half of the wall a lighter shade, but may do this over the Easter half term. I work in a school and I’m back on Tuesday 😕, I guess my arts and crafts home projects will be on the back burner for a while. The pictures above have actually inspired me, I can definitely use some of the ideas. For now I’m going to buy some canvases and go for a dove grey shade, then place them on the wall which seems to be the most problematic for me. My son is not really fussed, but when I compare it to my daughter’s room ( of the same colour) the difference is very noticeable. She loves art and had already created artwork for her walls. I really do feel so much better after having everyone’s advice in this forum. Xx

@Patricia Colwell Hi Patrice. Your comment was rude; I didn't ask for your approval on the wallpaper. I asked for help finding it, unsure what other information I could have given to help you find the paper since I provided a detailed photo. Thanks to @Jinx @One Devoted Dame for their help and for giving me exactly what I had requested. The comment that he is old enough to decorate his room was strange; I am sure that I am not the only mom on here that their son's like to have them decorate for them. Have a nice day
