NEED HELP FOR MY BEDROOM

Am in the process of bedroom redo - ripped out carpet, put in hardwoods, painted, I am wondering about art for walls - ALSO I have two wingback chairs and ottoman or order with subtle blue herringbone fabric to replace chairs that are there. I have included these in pics along with the pillow that serves as my inspiration. The furniture is a mix of finishes and we don't want to get rid of dressers as they were wedding gift from mother-in-law and 40 years old but excellent quality!! SO we are dealing with layout and cozying up and also, wondering about some empty corners as well as what kind of table to go between new chairs. ALSO LOTS of windows and natural light - not a fan of curtains - thoughts on windows?? CUSTOM SHADES? Hate valances and not lots of room for panels to add to shades on my slider. Help please!!

Thanks in advance for reading and helping!

So right now, the room is very dark and disjointed, so I put the board together with that in mind plus answering your questions.
1. I would try to bring out more of the blue and the red colors since they seem to be a repeated colors in the room. I would suggest painting the wall behind your bed a slate blue.
2. Get another floral pillow and like the one you have and remove the geometric patterned one.
3. Add a bed runner in the red color to give the bed more dimension.
4. Suggest lamps that are chunkier and have some texture. I like the ones shown because they are blue but also bronze to tie in wall color.
5. I'd go with custom drapery panels on a traverse rod with linen sheers also on a traverse rod. I like the crewel work as well as a light background to break up the wall color. The panels can be stacked to one side if need be. They also tie all the colors in the room together.
6. Side table-anything other than wood. You have some much. Gold with a dark top. Something with some visual interest.
7. Replace the ceiling fan with something more modern that helps to tie in the wall color.

I'd get a pie table if that was my room.

Continue to indulge by purchasing new bedside tables and lamps. To me, that's a big deal to be just right. Who is the manufacturer of your bed? Perhaps they have a coordinating bedside table.
Is the bookshelf and (armoire, I think) staying?
I agree with the pie crust table between the chairs if it's a height equal or lower than the chair arms.
Hoping there is blue in your rugs? Frankly, I would have chosen one large rug with an all over print to go up under the bed rather than three separate rugs.

Thank you all for your suggestions. They are great! Trying to keep the cost down and the windows are so big, but I see how much the room is softened with the curtains shown in the above picture. WE debated getting a big rug to go under the bed, but it's such a big space, (approx 23 x 16) and we wanted rug at end of bed, and also when we get up - so we decided to go with three smaller ones. AND yes, there is blue in the rug. FOR now all the furniture is staying - the armoire is actually my desk - closed up- LOVE the idea of side table other than wood - we do have a ton or wood in the room!

So are the rugs staying? I like you furniture but I would change the lamps. If you have to keep the rug, I would play up the blue accents.

If I'm reading this correctly the flower pillow is your inspiration? It doesn't work at all with the rugs.

Will the gentleman sitting in the chair actually sit in that chair in the bedroom? It will, of course look nice, but if no one will actually be using it then spend that money on drapes.

Paint color could be improved to work better with the rugs.

Lamp is from Bellacor. Table from Wolf's Furniture. The board was created using an app called Morphoilo.

I know you're not a fan of curtains, but some custom Belgian linen ones would look gorgeous against your windows!

If you're considering shades, depending on how deep you window is, you may be able to get inside mount roman shades. The windows are large, so you would need to go custom for that. Because there is a lot of color in the room, I think light colored curtains/shades would look best.

You can order free fabric swatches to see what color would look best!
