Hi, Ange, When you say 'Natural White, is it a true white or an off-white? Are there any bits of 'silver' in the rooms already, such as lamps or picture frames? I might hold off your rod decision until you find the curtains that you like, as the fabric may influence your decision. Good luck!

I love all the suggestions - thank you! Now I need to take pictures of all my rooms and look at them, because I hadn’t realized how bad that chair looked over there until I saw the picture! 😬 As you can tell, the furniture wasn’t bought for this room. We were shocked that everything fit when we moved. I don’t think I can convince my husband to take the fireplace out - he really likes it, and we do use it in the winter some. Unfortunately all the wall space in my closet has built in shelves so no room for the tallboy. The shelves aren’t full so I may see if I can shift some things around and get rid of it. The chair is a smaller size recliner and I don’t know that I can find something much smaller. We have a vent in the corner that the chair would cover there. I don’t use it as much as I used the chair I had at the old house so this one may go. But then do I need something on that wall? I like the idea of getting bedding I love and adding a throw for the dog. We keep our door closed most of the time so that might work. I’m going to look for a white curtain rod and try hanging curtains right below the molding - I like that look! I wish my husband were handy because I’ve always loved the look of mounding on the wall. I’ll have to think about that...

@acmI am in your ballpark. I have a lot of bedding and switch it out regularly. I pick my bedroom and bathroom paint colors based on what I like and what works with the rest of the house, then I select bedding that works with the bedroom paint color. I do agree with getting your sofa before deciding color in a living room paint color - don't replace my sofa often and color choices are more limited. Same with some other choices - kitchen cabinets, flooring, counter tops. Those stay for a long time and I will paint again before replacing those.

UPDATE: Thank you, everyone, for all your help!! I mostly went shopping in my house, and changed things up a bit: 1. moved in blue-ish rug from desk area; got rid of ugly beige ombre rug 2. moved in dining room chair I wasn't using anyway; it's not awesome but it's better than the folding chair ;) and my mom made the quilt when I was a teenager, so... 3. moved in blue blanket from den 4. framed/hung watercolors my MIL gave me for Christmas -- not exactly what had been envisioning, but I love them and they are free ;) 5. new: big monstera plant from Trader Joe's of all places; it surprisingly seems pretty happy here 6. new: blue and white duvet cover (Overstock); blue bedskirt (Macy's); blue geometric pillow (HomeGoods) Eventually it would be nice to add an upholstered bench under the pics, and get bigger bedside tables + lamps -- but I don't want to spend the $$ on that right now. Overall, I'm happy with the room, and appreciated all the suggestions!
