Modern Guest Room needs finishing touches
I attempted to go modern in my guest room- I think I am off to an OK start, but could really use some help to complete the room. The ceiling height is about 10 feet. What kind of headboard do you think would look good? Was thinking a linen fabric, but not sure on shape? The wall opposite the bed is painfully empty and I have one lone chair in the corner that is doing nothing for the room. I do 2 of the orange chairs but don't think the height of these chairs work at all regardless....I am open to any and all design ideas...pretty stuck on this one!

I would go so far as paint the walls green, pick up the color from the curtains, get the Crate & Barel Either "Curved" or "Colette" Upholstered Headboard in Alabaster, get a new white painted dresser and two upholstered chairs one on each side of the dresser. The chairs can have some of the coral and green and white in them...
I like your bedside tables but they feel slightly low to me and the lamps could be taller and I think a different color. I agree with the people who commented about bringing more color in the room. That could be as simple as getting a coverlet to fold at the end of the bed in the color of the edging around the pillows or in a green that coordinates with the pillows and your drapes. Please post when you're done - it's a lovely room and you're off to a great start!
darzy love the desk idea to be used with the lonesome chair.
I like the orange chairs, it is another way to bring in that color but I would add a pillow to them with that green, a stripe would be a great compliment to the other patterned pillows. Then you just need to find a piece of art or a large mirror for the wall with your door.
If you put in a desk, the parsons desk is nice, but again a little too hotel-y. Can you find a used desk with some character, and put the 2 pictures above it?
Can you make your lamps similar but not matchy-matchy? Add some different accessories on the bedside tables and you've got it made!
For the empty wall I think that a orange chair with a nice big reading lamp and a small table in the, all put in the corner would do just fine. In the middle try a series of photos or pictures.
Good luck!!!
Keep in mind people's basic needs. You have already addressed the bed (obviously), 2 nightstands and lighting. I think I bureau with a mirror would be great though it looks like placement directly in front of the bed would make it tight.A better option might be on the "door" wall. Love the idea of a comfy chair in the corner but think given the height of the ceilings you need something bigger keeping in mind flow of moving around the bed. Slipper chairs (armless chairs in varous sizes and colors)are very comfy and versatile and take up less space becuase they are armless. Consider a floor lamp if you do this so people have adequate light to read. This will also balance the lighting in the room.

I really like the idea of painting the ceiling as well- if I go that route crown molding would be a must correct? Is it essential to match the crown in adjacent rooms? I ask because this is really the only mod room in my house thus far- the rest of the house is pretty traditional w/double formal crown molding.
I also would use an orange throw on the bed. A pillow on the chair would be very nice too... Also pictures on the wall next to the chair and a floor vase with bamboo or branches from your yard... [houzz=Condo Master Bedroom]
