Something I did in my guest bedroom while waiting for the perfect pieces of art was to get a photo calendar with pictures I like and buy some simple black frames. I had a set of four, looked pretty good. The one I had was Japanese watercolor art. Later, I bought two large beach watercolors. I love the beach and I found having beach pictures in the bedroom very relaxing! I like landscapes, but if you don't, then by all means don't. I had some landscapes in my bedroom, but moody ones. One was a cabin glowing with firelight covered by a huge amount of snow illuminated pink by a sunset. Just the perfect spot I would have liked to be and since the snow made it impossible to get in or out of the place, it just evoked peace and relaxation or me. To a Floridian it might have been a living nightmare, lol. Later it was a little homestead cabin on top of a hill, a woodcut. When I went full on beach in one room, I had the typical tropical desert island scene, which also says relax, no interruptions. Landscapes can be very abstract too, my friend's daughter does very abstract landscapes. I'm not trying to sell her stuff, just including a link because I think she does beautiful work and it's a good example of "out of the box" landscapes. Might be too casual for your taste, but who knows, http://emiliesart.blogspot.com/p/gallery-shop.html I also loved metal wall art, and botanical prints. I would love some kind of sculpture made to look like tree branches, but again, that's just me.

You could consider adding 70s heavy texture to the bed instead of macrame to the walls. Think Anthropologie levels of texture. You won't need alot,say one long lumbar,2 coral velvet, and a throw. Then a couple more soft coral accents (Pantone's new colour of the year) and a tiny bit of Yves Klein Blue. These small additions would make a large impact in your mostly neutral space and not let your headboard boss 'em. Basically, a palette like this work done by Lola Donaghue over at etsy. https://www.etsy.com/listing/244405243/abstract-print-large-giclee-print-beige?ref=shop_home_active_42

Hi Maddie. You're off to a great start. But I do see areas that can be tweaked and improved on. I agree that there is a struggle with the desk placement and dresser placement. Is this a shared college apt where you need a desk in your room? I see a chair peaking out from the corner. What does that side of the room look like? Stand at the window to the right of your bed and take a photo that captures all of the opposite side of the room and then do the same from the left side of your bed so we can get an idea of actual space. Can you measure and draw a floorpan? You have a lot in the room and there may be alternator arrangements that work better. As far s above your bed two or three square art pieces depending on their size would work well. You lamps are a bit on the short side. I see the mustard throw and pillows. Is this a color you want incorporated in the room? I would lose the mirror above the dresser. It dates the space. I am not opposed to a mirror but an interesting one that hangs on the wall would be a more updated feature. Round and framed in the same color as your hardware like a thin black metal framed round mirror for instance. Is you desk also used as a vanity? Is that the reason for the mirror there?

lol. i've been through earthquakes for 60 years and haven't had anything fall on me. They make earthquake type of hangers for paintings and mirrors. if they're hung in the stud, and securely fastened, you'll be fine. (and if we get one that will make those fall out, you have a lot more to worry about than a mirror falling on your head!) But on that note, I don't think a mirror is right over the bed. Your headboard is plenty. you don't need anything else. if you want, you can stick some mirrors over the nightstands. Otherwise, I think the room looks very nice the way it is.
