Wallpaper could liven up the bed wall... how many windows are there? Need light? Maybe a wallpaper's sheen could help.

I'd get rid of the bookcase and bedside table. Buy a pair of unmatched but same height tables and a new headboard for a totally new look.

Try not to use the ceiling light - rarely flattering for most people! A lamp in each corner is best. I agree with getting some pattern in this room. The styles suggested are beautiful!

berry also / does it look too kitchen?

So helpful, thanks to all! The bed is brass and white....not a fan so that may go. the white bookshelf and nightstand can go too. I have some older night stands i can use. I agree about the overhead light. Will find some more lamps. Love all the help from you creative geniuses!!!

The green dresser is much bigger. I may need to move some things around and take that to another bedroom. I've considered painting the headboard.

Wood seems to ground the space / reason for your rug or wallpaper. [I don't like all that in the 2nd.] Last photo yeh the bed floats but with one neutral modern... well it's a ruby/wine brighter though. Just saying the "eggplant needs its vibrant healthy stem" in your room to look healthier! Are we ok that I say?

A bit serene yeh? Repeating the color more is idea.

I wish I had those ceilings to work with in the white room but since it's a basement, I'm having to deal with less light.

But you're "on it" :)

Curious how much you like your bed - even if painted a medium tone? hey why not paint it exactly the color of your spread, I mean it... like the Inner Richmond photo?

Paint - I wouldn't a light dull color like grey / ok if you had warm wood floors, but you are fine and have beige.

I like green very much. You'll keep your dresser here, and why not? Purples and greens go well... your art above it too. :)

Might not be room / placed on diagonal? round and feminine flowers /though near, not eggplant... ideas. Hope you don't mind, as I searched for earth tones, but as suggested and I think ok: a bit of brights too.... would love to see your art and its brights- Would this have vibe of art?

Very helpful. Thank you.

Children move out -- so you're welcome! Seems you like the cottage look / cause of photos you 'liked'....

I saw a black/white rug with one enlarged rose / that could bridge between / but in another color...

what about a quilt hung behind or on the bed, folded at bottom???

What about dresser and its art where nightstand is / and nightstand to left of bed?

An upholstered bench where dresser is. Lost the photo, but bedskirt had plum and green.
