Place chair with small side table in one corner facing bed. Place a plant in the other corner. It will look great.

or you might do a chaise with a low table in front, floor lamp behind.

Consider a chair 1/2 or a chaise lounge with a table and lamp.

I think you could pick a better chair for the area

Or a settee

I agree the chair 1/2 is too big and bulky.

add soft curtain's and put a mini chandelier there. really cute. i dont like either chair fabric, but the chair is cute. I would add a foot stool. i might do a simple fabric, it could be a bold color.

omgosh, use that its so cute!

Well, there ya go! I think it's going to be perfect. Yes it looks a bit lonely but the table, lamp, plant will fill it all out.

IMO your room could benefit from better lighting next to the bed, and changing out the ceiling fan to a plain white ceiling hugger with no light kit.

You're probably looking at $500+ to reupholster the rocker. Is the fabric totally unacceptable as is? Hard to tell from the photos. Could a throw help tie things together?

This is a perfect space for a little reading nook - absolutely perfect for a lounge chair and ottoman where you can spend hours reading by the natural light providing by the window there.

For a bit of modern, this classic mid-century lounge chair would look a little bit edgy and really amazing

or this one, in cashmere wool ;)

i say you rock that rocking chair, and only re pollster it if needed after you add the other things to the space.

I don't think the tables would be bad, but you may just want a simple wood table. Maybe with a drawer or second shelf to keep your books handy.

I think a wrought iron table, or nesting tables, would compliment the Amish wood furniture and break it up some. Or one of those accent cube tables in black or a darker finish.

Unless the rocker is of great sentimental value, buy new.

Very Nice The problem with the 18" is that you will not have a lot of room on table for a lamp. A lamp of the right size will dwarf the surface. If you want a lamp I would get larger one.

Or go with a floor lamp...Susan brought up a good point. Decide before you buy. They are lovely.

Look for a luxurious square throw that coordinates with your bedcover and put that over the rocker. Other possibilities:

--Get a simple side table next to the rocker, maybe a small low bookcase, and a floor lamp, and you have a wonderful reading area.

--Rocking chair, floor lamp, petite desk with pulldown top and small bench you can push under. All these things can be easy found in thrift shops, but keep the lines very simple so each piece looks fresh, not dowdy.

--Build a window bench with hinged top for storage. Then try to find some really thick outdoor cushions in a solid fabric that coordinates well with your bedcovers and wall color.

I think I agree with housegal. Before redoing or buying new, I would put a throw over the rocker and live with it a bit. I am sure you can find a temporary "table" and lamp to get a feel of the space and the rocker. Am a firm believer in taking some time before parting with my money. Give it a week or two.
