Comments (3)What color and style is your bedding? Any accent colors in the room? How much open floor space do you have? Room for a pretty little upholstered chair (if it won't just become a dumping ground) or a small secretary in a corner? With the cherry furniture a painted piece in black would look very nice. A floor lamp and a lower floor plant next to it and Bob's your uncle, a very nice little cozy corner. Fake ficus are a little bit predictable and IMO overdone, try a good-sized faux dieffenbachia or philodendron, or put a faux fern or ivy on an elegant plant stand. (Wrought iron, maybe?) Just make sure you keep them clean and put them in nice cachepots or urns. Every bedroom needs a wastebasket, so make it an attractive one. If the beige carpet needs some jazzing up, you can put a small area rug over it using a special pad that sticks it down to the carpet. I always liked the look of a runner on each side of the bed - they don't have to match. Thinner rugs work better than thick ones. Although some people do not like them, I like dried flowers very much, although I am probably biased because my mother makes beautiful wreaths and arrangements (which is half the reason why I have four LOL). Keep them dusted with a can of compressed air (sold at office supply stores for cleaning computers' innards) and they won't get all gunky which is one of the reasons why a lot of people dislike them. Avoid obviously-dyed flowers and stick to the natural stuff. I once had a big sheaf of dried spray roses in a wall basket - they had been a gift from a sweetheart, but crafts stores like Michaels have them quite inexpensively. White flowers turn a lovely parchment color when dried, if they have not been bleached. As for other wall decor - take a look around at some catalogs that show room scenes to get an idea of what appeals to you. Your bedroom should reflect you and your interests so that it does not appear generic. Maybe it's architectural artifacts like wrought iron, maybe it's shelves with small sculptures and natural objects, maybe it's a collection of little framed mirrors or a handmade fabric wall-hanging. Take a look around this forum's Gallery too, to see if any of our members have done something that revs your engine. Should you want a tapestry, instead of a mass-produced one that you could get from a hundred different outlets, check out Novica.com for some gorgeous handmade ones and other artwork from independent artisans around the world. If you live in earthquake country, use very good wall anchors or hangers to hold anything except a lightweight tapestry above or near your bed. "Oook" makes some excellent hangers that are available at Home Depot - they are rated for heavy weights (I always go overboard on that anyway, better too much than not enough) and have a tongue that keeps things from jumping off the hook. Use a product called QuakeHold to anchor things onto shelves so they don't fall....See MoreNeed help decorating master bedroom

Comments (59)I'd space them out. I have those in my family room and prefer them spaced apart. Mine are 3-4" and if I weren't too lazy at the moment, I'd walk upstairs and measure...lol....See MoreMaster Bedroom decorating ideas
Comments (3)Ok my first thought is: you said warm and cozy and this room is rather cold and leaning to modern so I am very confused lol. You need to fake it with the window, make it appear to take up more space and give the feeling of a headboard. I would also add some lamps to the nightstands and pull those closer to the bed. and possibly but a bench at the end of the bed. Then bring in some color in the artwork and throw pillows....See MoreKristen Millard

3 years agoTo make the transition with the too wide headboard and your windows I'd recommend drapery panels to back up the setting. You'll see is the other photo I selected a tufted headboard that stepped down on the sides so there isn't such a barrier to the back windows and I still added drapery panels.
Too many 90 degree corners with the tray-tray ceiling and the saying above the bed and the headboard so I have eliminated some of them with a sunburst mirror or arch of some type over the headboards.
I know that people insist on fans, but I have replaced all my ceiling fans with air shower fans that I can hide in the corner of the room or behind a piece of furniture. I'm able to use ceiling lights, the air shower fans are not as drying as sleeping under a ceiling fan and the air is still circulated.
