Please help decorate my bedroom!
Hello! Please help me decorate my bedroom - I always get stuck at this point and don't know how to make it cohesive/actually look good. I have some art and other decorative items but I don't know where to hang or arrange them or if I should just not use them or collect some new items.
I'm on a budget but I love DIY and I love the mid century - boho - clean - glam - retro - Scandinavian - 70s vibe (think Emily Henderson). I love plants too (see pics for the plants I have). I have a ton of trinkets and random little objects but I'm not sure where to put them or how to arrange them or even what colors to shoot for. I'd buy new art too, decorative trays/boxes, etc. I have a TON of books I could use that are in another part of the house if they'd be good for styling.
I am open to replacing the bedframe, bedspread, and side tables. I would also consider replacing the dresser under the window with something else since I could move the dresser into the closet. Please let me know if you have any ideas!
Also, in the last photo you can see I have covered the carpet with a white/gray rug and covered the bedspread with an all white one temporarily. The rug covers basically the whole floor besides where the dark rug is under the window area dresser.

I need help decorating my Bedroom (Pics)?
Comments (12)Hello Everyone, Thank you all SO MUCH for your suggestions! I really appreciate it and the "vision" is starting to appear in my mind! Oceanna - I will check out the cottage decor gallery, I have not done that yet. Thanks! frazoo - I love it too! It is SW Bamboo Shoot. I also have it in my kitchen. I get a lot of compliments on my color scheme, I have the Bamboo Shoot, White Raisin and Steely Gray throughout my home. They all work great together. newdawn1895 - no, dh would have a heart attack if I wanted to paint the furniture! LOL! It will have to stay as is. As for the chaise, I may try to work with it, when all is done if I still don't like it, I'll move it to another room and get another chair for this spot. As for roman shades - yes, I love them! I found some at Bed Bath Beyond that can be hung on a rod instead of mounted. I am picking them up today! I am getting a textured white shade. Also picking up a white duvet cover. I'll post more pics once I have made a few changes and go from there. Elaine...See MoreHelp me decorate my attempt at a mountain modern bedroom!
Comments (12)We love mountain modern homes, especially bedrooms. The white duvet is perfect with the dark walls and Pendleton blanket; adding lighting pieces through bedding and artwork will help brighten the space and provide contrast for the walls. As far as art for the room goes, you can keep it neutral to let the blanket shine or add more dimension and color to balance the blanket. In this room, we added art that was more colorful than the rest of the room, but because it stands alone, it shines: A more subtle and modern option: You can also add visually interesting light fixtures, especially any that will pop against the darker paint of your room: The colors and textures you have here are already a beautiful starting point. Good luck adding those finishing touches!...See MoreHelp me decorate my master Bedroom-Moroccan screen/headboard

Comments (4)I do think you have too much that matches. For art, I'd get what you love and not worry about whether it's the same size or "coordinates" or anything else. You might do a small gallery wall on one side (including one or two 3-dimensional pieces), and a large image (canvas or framed) on the other. But whatever you decide, don't go out and look for "art." Look for what you love; maybe you already have it! I'd replace at least one of the lamps with something different since the nightstands appear to be the same. (Again, something you love.) If it's you and your partner you can each decorate or keep on your nightstand what works for you be it a plant, pictures, water pitcher, books, reading glasses, etc. These should be your individual islands that work for you and less a "decorating surface." If the colors work for you, great! But I find them dull and uninteresting. (That said, I despise browns and beiges and grays so take my advice for what it is worth.) What colors turn you on? Use some of them in wallpaper, paint, curtains, pillows, comforter....See More- elysel123 thanked groveraxle

You have some excellent pieces to work with! Your space could really benefit from a few pops of color. The recommendation would be to pull colors from your beautiful prints. Most of your furniture can stay as it works really well with the boho-mod look. Consider adding an accent chair to replace the one dining chair, paint a deep blue accent wall- perhaps behind the headboard- add a couple of wall sconces, and layer in some fresh textiles. Depending on your budget, look at thrift stores and/or West Elm, Target, and World Market.
The artwork on your large dresser could be hung just above the dresser with the top of the frame lining up with the bottom of the header door trim. Consider the two other pieces on the wall opposite the dresser with a couple of wood box beam floating shelves, a metallic dimensional piece and a few accessories to create more of a gallery wall look.
Happy Decorating!
