    What furniture do you have on your focal point wall? If you have a bed there, what is the headboard like?

    @Michelle Sheard I have a bed there it's a metal bed. And i have 2 nightstands on each side of the bed.

    Hmm. Without seeing any pictures of the room and based solely on the color scheme that you've described, I would recommend a mirror. This is because silver works well with all of the colors you listed. Sometimes mirrors can be successfully used as headboard. Just be sure that it is securely and safely anchored to the wall by a professional. Does your bed have a headboard? Can you describe it? How would you describe the style of your room? What is the style of your nightstands?

    Here are a few fun ideas for giving more presence to your focal wall in the bedroom.

    @Michelle Sheard My bedroom theme is "pop of color" and my beds headboard is made out of silver metal and is curly looking :) And my nightstands are also silver metal. I thought about wallpaper, but I heard that later if I wanted to change it would be difficult?

    Here is an additional idea.

    You could create a faux canopy over your bed. Supplies for this project would include two curtain rods which coordinate with the color and style of your bed and a fabric item: a throw, curtains, lightweight quilt bedspread or sheet which also matches your current bedding / draperies. (White would work with the colors you currently have if you can't decide on an additional fabric or print to use.)

    This idea is on the same order of the hanging a quilt on the wall behind the bed idea in the picture above, however, you will use two curtain rods instead of one. Attach one curtain rod about 5" down from the ceiling on the wall behind the bed and the other curtain rod on the ceiling above the bed about 20" out from the wall behind the bed.

    Drape the fabric behind the bed, behind the curtain rod on the wall behind the bed and over the curtain rod affixed to the ceiling pulling the fabric forward over the ceiling curtain rod so that it hangs down at least 15' over the curtain rod on the ceiling forming a "valance".

    Cautions: 1) the curtain rods must be at least as wide as the bed, 2) experiment with the how far out from the wall you want to place the curtain rod on the ceiling BEFORE you drill holes in your ceiling (actually put the fabric on the rod and have someone hold it at different depths for you), 3) Try to find a lighter weight fabric. I recommend valance scarves in sheer material. They have finished edges on all four sides and are usually quite long - around 120 inches - and you will need the length to be sure that it drapes all the way down behind the bed. Silky brocades are also lovely. You can make the canopy simple or ornate by adding tassels, fringes or other decorative trim - whatever suits the style of your room. If you add trim, just keep it the same color as the fabric you chose to keep it from being too 'busy'.
