honestly, I think the wall color isn't helping matters much. I would have gone with a very soft blush or lilac tone on the wall. what's there now looks like a dreary green/gray.

or if you like the coral, maybe an accent wall w/the pillow colors and the rest in a creamy white

mini blinds could get replaced w/a pattern roman shade or some curtains.

maybe a bench at the foot of the bed.

a diff fan or chandelier

Not a fan of wallpaper.

Have you considered repainting the wall behind the headboard as an accent wall? Keep the other walls neutral.

Would change the lamp shades to solid white ones without any ornaments on them.

Would remove the art from the side wall and consider adding art over the headboard.

If you don't want art over the headboard ... is the mirror above the dresser attached to the dresser? If not, after you finish any repainting you decide to do, you might put the wider rectangle mirror on the wall above the headboard and put the fancy framed mirror on the wall above the dresser. Otherwise, consider creating a stand for the fancy framed mirror.

Something you might consider is "lifting" the mattress and box spring higher (thicker boards beneath the box spring) so the bedding is more visible over the foot board. Then lay two king size pillows in shams that match your bedding down before adding throw pillows. If you do this, however, you might need to use queen sized covers to fully cover the side of the side frame.

hello, I see where your husband is coming from. I would not want to cover the picture window either. Here are the options I would consider and just go with whatever ended up looking best to me: (1) Move the bed in front of the small window, raise the curtain rod to the ceiling and put the tan curtains on that rod, making sure that the top of the curtains went to the ceiling and covered the top of the window--this would mean putting the rod on the crown--which is the one thing that makes me question if this is the right thing to do. Also, extend the rod the width of the bed--so the curtains both go to the ceiling as well as fill the entire space behind the bed. Then I would move the picture window curtain rod up higher and put new panels on either side than can be opened or closed. You would need new panels as the existing ones would then be too short once you move the rod up higher--plus they would now be on the small window beside the bed. you could put the butterfly pics on either side of the picture window if the scale is right. (2) Alternatively, with the bed in front of the small window, you could do some type of tapestry, that again starts at the ceiling and covers the entire window and space above the bed. Maybe made from a twin size quilt, like you suggested. (3) Finally, consider the roman shade--however, i am not sure if the scale might be too small. But if you got a really nice fabric and had the shade lowered--the decorative effort may be just as good or better than the curtain or large fabric. And then you could put artwork on either side of the window. If you go this route then I would either paint the window trim the same as the crown or use a more contrasting stain--something darker than what it is now. In any event, from what I can see of the room, it looks like the curtain rod with the tan curtains should be higher. However, I can't see any pics of it straight on, so it may be just fine. And perhaps some artwork flanking that window. Good luck! That little window is hard to work around!

What a lovely room!!! Lucky guests! Maybe you could pull a color from your decorative pillows to use? I would go for a muted rug with ivory, beige, gray/blue and maybe hints of green and soft orange? I bought this rug which I love and think would look good in your room. However it is out of stock. Just for the sake of an idea... here it is.In case you want to take a closer look here is the link https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/nuLOOM-Traditional-Ziegler-Mahal-Ivory-Rug-710-x-11/8581565/product.html

So I just tweeked your current plan a little bit by doing pier style cabinets on either side of the bed. Then you don’t have to have a nightstand. Or you can just do full height wardrobes. You will have to account for the jogs in the wall so that the bed is positioned so that you can get the doors open. Then the desk would be opposite the bed and possibly add a little bookcase. I am showing a queen sized bed.

We definitely like modern with some mid century mixed in, but we want to add some warm and cozy elements as well, so it feels more like a home. Thus far, it seems hard to strike that balance, but we want to get as close as possible at least.

Is duvet cover a greyed lavender? that's a romantic combo with cream probably - so is there room for another item that type maybe a 'bed bench'?

I'd like to know which direction you can go? is this a bit French Country? toile or garden? this might have good touch of apricot.

This is always my dilemma, I put in a lot of work and miss out on the fine details

Rug underneath the bed thats half out (you could even do a layered rug)

artwork over bed

plant in the corner and on nightstands

chair with table where the mirror sits

maybe a bench or a few poufs in front of the bed

I'm guessing if you add dark in right places, you could do it: would dark art go over bed? though this is too-dark espresso, it could be lightened to medium stain.

... it's because I saw your ideabooks of eclectic, French Country, etc... and are you wanting that??

Experiment with inexpensive bench at foot of bed, and toss pillow and/or a throw...

If you have room for a "bench" at the bottom of the bed, choose a storage ottoman or a bench with a shelf (with or without doors) so you will be adding storage space for either bedding or shoes.

Not a fan of the sloppy-drag-the-floor look for drapes. If you add drapes/curtains, consider that a solid color will be less "busy" -- less likely to visually shrink the room -- and keep in mind your bedding colors -- which color(s) in the bedding do you want to emphasize.
