Color suggestions welcomed! Some blues can brighten a space too and with some bright pops of color, Maybe orange and white? I think it could look nice. I have doing lots of reading and some dark spaces can still be visually pleasing with the right decor. There is no hiding that it’s a dark room, it is what it is and I think color will add interest.. at least that was what I was thinking. I can’t change the lack of windows unfortunately so criticism on helping the space would be welcomed not complaining about what it’s not.

It looks like the wallpapers that you have shown us are all over the place. I think you may want to back off and start with creating a color palette that includes the furniture, as well as bedding and flooring. I'm not big on the idea of finding wallpaper first and then designing around it.

Just wanted to follow up to thank everyone for your input and to show you the accent wall I decided to do in SW Naval. Im going to be replacing the blinds with white faux wood ones and am pretty sure Im going to look for a counter depth refrigerator. Im also looking into having the cabinets painted white sincethey are dingy. A silly question maybe, however, I would like input....Should i keep the smaller stainless steel microwave or get one closer in size to my old white one shown in the pics (just look at sizes of each micro and ignore color). Something tells me the sizing/proportion is off with the small stainless one and Im thinking i might exchange it for a bigger one.

Norwood, thanks for weighing in! Although not perfect, this design aesthetic allows me to do something unusual and still be within my budget. Doing the entire shower in hex is out of my budget and I’d rather do something than have a very boring shower. I think the inspiration photos look great and I think I can get close to that.
