I would hang a nice large piece of art over the dresser so it can be enjoyed from in the bed. A simple matched set of smaller art over each nightstand and a table lamp for each. Paint the wall behind the bed a nice rich accent color...the blue from your drapes, although they look little skimpy tied like that. Use colors from the art for your throw pillows.

What about a lumbar pillow in a green or blue. You'd then put a throw on the bottom of the bed in the same color.

Lamps for your nightstands are needed - as you may know.

Add another curtain panel to each side of the window and try tying it closer to the bottom.

do I need to add accent tile to shower's white subway?

I'm also doing a similar color scheme in my daughter's bathroom. For accent, I am using a gorgeous Calacatta marble mosaic only in the niches (shower shampoo niches, and one recessed into the wall next to the vanity.) It's the same tile I used for the niches in my master bathroom, which has all white glass on the walls. Since it's on a vertical surface (just the back walls of the niches) cleaning isn't so much a concern. We've had it in the master bathroom for about 9 months and no problems at all. We are using marble pieces for the shelves, so the horizontal places where soap/shampoo might build up are easy to clean. You could also just use the subway tiles for the perimeters. I think this is a nice way to keep the wall tile simpler but also add a bit of interest and bling without getting too busy. Here's the niche by my master bath soaking tub, during the renovation:

Wood stained front door, white trim, rainwashed exterior - add accent?

I agree with the Halcyon! It flows with the main house color, but highlights the cedar shake just enough. About the Rainwashed vs Sea Salt- can you get samples painted on the house to compare and see exactly how they look throughout the day? In general it's always best if you can see a paint color on the wall you're planning on using it on, colors look different on a screen vs on a wall with light and shadows, etc.

Glad to do it. So I put a larger rug in. Look for one that sits under most of your furniture. Probably 10 x 14’. But don’t go as far as into the walkway. I moved your art piece. A floor lamp like this one will provide both reading light and ambient lighting when watching TV. I think your current chairs will fit where I placed these chairs. I just didn’t have good photo of front of your so plugged those in instead. See how it works.

Décor help! What color should my wall tapestry be?

Honestly, I think it's not working for the space turned either direction. The size is awkward. But the bigger issue is that the pattern is so bold that it's dictating what you could put on the walls. I realize you said your budget is tight, so I do apologize for the suggestion. I bought this mat from home depot for only $18, and I love it. It looks kind of plain on the website but I love it because it has a minimal look, almost scandi -- it looks like grey wool and has a subtle stripe texture. It has held up to five years worth of wet shoes, sap and pine needles and still looks new. A simpler rug will free you up to put anything you want on the wall. Go big! You mentioned that you are the one making the textile artwork. A wood dowel from home depot will only be about $5, and you can create something big enough to fill the space.

Hey, there's a perfect spot above your bed for some wall art. I can provide you with a few examples of our vintage paintings reproduction. We can also create a custom reproduction in any size you want.

P.S. You can try changing the lamp to a different type that will additionally illuminate a larger area of your room :)
