I don't see where you have any space to hang curtains. I would repaint the room a lighter color. Without being able to see the room, I would look at repositioning the bed. Beds should face so that your feet would be pointing toward the door from which you enter if you were laying down in it. Maybe with that you could get it away from that window and to where you have more space for the night stands. Then I would upgrade the bedding. Remove that weird double planter in the corner, and all of the random things hanging on the walls. And get two lamps for the night stands.

Is this room for a male or female? Will you be looking for a duvet cover/bedding as well? If so, I would choose that first. If you're going to stay with the white comforter, I'd find a nice throw/blanket to put across the foot of the bed. Do you want room darkening curtains, or just something to soften things up? Do you read in bed? If so, that determines what kind of lighting you need.

Probably too late to say this, but those night stands are wide for that space. I have white shutters in my window over the bed and a sheer, lacy curtain over it that is no longer than the window. However, my headboard is quite a bit below the window. I agree to more colorful bedding and lamps with a ceramic base that pick up one of the colors of the bedding or perhaps a Chinese-type blue and white decoration. The grey walls make the room look depressing without other colors in the room. I'd suggest fairly large colorful paintings and a colorful rug if you have wood flooring. If you like the minimalist look then ignore the color part, and choose lamps with a clear glass base, but make sure the lamps are tall enough to make an impact. You still need wall art of some kind.

hi everyone,
I know the paint is horrid, but I have a baby and can't repaint now. was trying to brighten things up a bit w the white comforter and nightstands. I added another pic now that it's dark, if that helps. pic was taken with the doorway behind me.

also, the room is for my husband and I, so both male and female I suppose

also, we don't read in bed, except on smartphones haha. don't really need room darkening curtains per se, just trying to find something to look nice/make it feel cozy

If it were my room, I'd want it softened up. The grey and white is very sterile. With a new baby, it would be nice for you to have a relaxing spot for yourself. Working with what you have, I'd try a very pale blush pink. A simple rod, hung all the way to the ceiling. It can extend out a few inches on either side.

You didn't ask, but I'd remove the clock and any small pictures on the wall and look for one large painting or print. Also, find a new spot for the hanging plant.

Silk panels from Pottery Barn.

Lamp from Target

Also comes in a blue/grey

Thanks Torreykm. good suggestions. I actually was looking at those blue lamps, since i have some blue going on. I was going in a blur direction for my husband's sake, but I don't think he likes it anyway, so I'll show him the pics you posted! Maybe I can get a duvet or something for my comforter too!
