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?

The major reason Ficus benjamina is so ubiquitous is that it's the only commonly available indoor plant that looks like a "tree" in the sense of having a trunk and a canopy with lots of small leaves. So a lot of people grow it because they want that look, although it's not one of the easier house plants, and still needs a relatively high light level for an indoor plant. Doesn't come with colored leaves though. There just isn't a whole lot else to choose from if you want a "tree" like look. Ming aralia, maybe, which indeed looks a little like a Japanese maple and fools some people. Some other good suggestions above. Abutilon does look a lot like a maple but it's a very broad, large leaf, not delicate like Japanese maples, and it needs high light. Bedrooms can be tricky because they generally don't have high light conditions. Maybe evoke the trees or forest via wall decals, and have smaller plants around (ferns?) to evoke the understory? :-)

so this is a enrangement on my new room that i love!
