momof5x I love the bed! Maybe you could do something like the following from Houzz:

Melissa Fischer Thanks! I was actually considering getting rid of it for a tufted one, but I think I may be able to make it work.. Love the ideas above! What do you think about a wallpapered accent wall?

Christine FREY You need a soft and subdued light like these attached photos to give a warm and intimate ambience.
I would give an exotic touch to your room.

momof5x There are some ideas here from Houzz:

AMN Better and varied lighting is key. Please invest in that. It will make everything else you do in the room look even better.

I think a wall paper accent wall could be beautiful! Look here: http://www.houzz.com/photos/bedroom/wallpaper-accent-

Melissa Fischer I was thinking of two scones on each side of the bed? What do you think?

momof5x I personally prefer lamps as you can move them if ever you want to rearrange your room unlike sconces- although very nice- become permanent fixtures. Otherwise, they look beautiful when put up.

Time Travel Designs If you are going for a hotel feel, it's relatively easy to achieve and can be done economically. Just remember to layer the room like a nest and add lots of the little amenities that make a hotel stay so pleasant; a bed tray, candles, fresh flowers. I did a mock up of your space and kept your existing furniture (for the most part). Have fun!

dld231 Dear Time Travel
How did you do the mock up - great suggestion too

Stanton Designs-online design services what exactly are you looking to achieve? Style? colors? art? things that work and don't work.

Time Travel Designs Thank you. I did the pre-viz in Photoshop, actually. It's a great tool to use if you want to "test" a look before taking the plunge.

calikym Time travel - thanks for the tip!

charb6 You have lovely basics, all you need is to decorate. What colors do you like/which ones make you feel calm and happy? buy pillows, artwork, throws and lamps. Pick an accent color --go to paint store and look at the colors! Pick the ones that speak to you and don't second-guess yourself. Look around houzz and discover your style -- traditional? contemporary? asian? Whatever. I, personally, would go eclectic. A birch or bamboo bench, throw pillows of a few different fabrics (each must be cozy). Pick a "pop" color and get three things in that color, and concentrate two of them in a corner of the room, the third somewhere nearby to pull the space together. For the wall/artwork, take a little time at your next art fair, and spend most of your budget here. A great painting will guide you successfully!

charb6 Oh, and NO WALLPAPER!

Julia Wakely Interiors I would buy an upholstered headboard which would make the room seem wider without the dark footboard. Get nicely lined curtains in a neutral shade like Pottery Barn's dupioni silk ones. Hang the curtain close to the ceiling and have the curtains just touch the floor. Get 2 mirrored dressers and use as bedside tables. Buy a hotel striped band duvet cover, 4 standard pillows and two euros. A throw or quilt at the end of the bed. In front of the window place 2 accent chairs and a round table between. Have fun!

Melissa Fischer Thanks Julia! I love all of your idea's. I recently found a beautiful tufted headboard that I think will look great! I was clueless on the curtains and love the ones you suggested! If only you loved closer!! Thanks again!
