What do I need? Maybe a area rug? Help

    Everything looks great, but I agree that an area rug would be a good addition. What is on the far wall that you haven't posted?

    Drapes to soften, frame and expand the windows.

    What kind of window treatments and any ideas on an area rug?

    IMO you need to decide if you're going beige or gray. To me it looks like you're trying to do both and that's not working. Your beige headboard does not look good against a gray wall. Then it looks like you just put that gray throw on the bed to try and make the gray walls make sense. Then the white bedspread is too bright and goes with nothing. So decide on a color palette before you pick out an area rug and upgrade your bedding.

    The grey and beige are clashing horribly. The grey is also making your carpet look very pink. Pick a lighter, warmer paint, get some curtains and then go from there. I'm not a fan of the birch wall decal, it seems a bit childish for a master.

    I vote for a rug.

    The walls are crying for the battleship gray to sail away.

    Love it! Do you have anything on the far wall? A rug would definitely look pretty as well!

    I’m planning on adding the beige color from headboard to the birch trees and add some of the same color to maybe window treatments hoping it will pull it all together along with a area rug. Any ideas on the rug or window treatments would be helpful!
    Thanks
    Thinking of maybe this rug!

    I wouldn't add more beige. I actually think the white/gray/pink looks nice together and the beige upholstered frame is the odd item out (and maybe the bench, but hard to tell what color it really is). A white iron frame would go with what I'm going to call the "whimsical" look you've started.

    Since you have several styles going on in this room, what style are you trying to achieve here? Looking at what you have done, it appears you are leaning towards "glam" but the peel and stick birch trees aren't saying that. And thinking that a rug is going to pull it all together is not being realistic. The animal print is only going to add to the problems. But if you love it go for it and do what makes you happy.

    Maybe this visual might give you some things to consider.

    • Instead of the birch trees consider wallpaper. It will be more sophisticated. Note the subtle trees on this one.
    • The wallpaper gives you the contrast against the beige headboard but it's color and the lighter color of the walls compliment the beige. More restful, too.

    I feel like the bench is a bit flimsy for the substantialness of the bed. If we knew more about the left end of the room, we might make more intelligent suggestions -- for example, you could maybe have a nice arm chair. (But only if it's not blocking a dresser or a doorway, or...)

    There are a few things that could help. We suggest picking the grey or beige. Then adding drapes, a rug, and some artwork.

    I added some beige and tans in the birch trees that I hand myself! Not wall decals. Or fed some beige pillows for the bed and beige dresser scarf and a rug! Not sure about window treatments yet!

    You must deal with the elephant in the room namely the bed. It is very nice but everything else around it doesn’t go with it. It doesn’t matter what you add. You simply must have a wall colour/treatment that coordinates with the glam/beige bed. And build from there.

    Perhaps you could remove the house and birds from the trees and maybe the branches as well and paint more trunks going across the wall in a wall paper like pattern but make it more abstract than it is now.

    I think the room looks divided pretty much 50 50 between beige warm tone and grey cool tone....you need more beige or more grey so one color is dominant. decide what color that will be and add it in your curtains and your rug.....the room should seem more balanced then, but one color has to dominate. Your brain is trying to establish the dominant design in the room and is confused.

    It looks like you got the rug you posted. And since you seem to be happy with the way you are putting the room together, even though we tend to think otherwise, we might as all well move on to someone that really wants our help. Enjoy your bedroom.

    I think all the patterns are fighting each other. Perhaps change the bedding to a simple hotel bedding maybe white with a dark grey stripe to tie in the grey somehow. I also think the room would benefit tremendously from a bed that matches the style of the rest of the room.
    Good luck.

    I would not add a rug. I find the look of a rug over carpet does not work. I think you should wait until you can add some kind of wood flooring and then add a rug. Your room looks very nice but I think the tree murals? Are making your job difficult. If you can remove those I think it will be easier to move forward.

    Ok, so , you seem to know what you like ...but look at your night stands ...they are too dark ...I think if you paint them a light off white color or a light beige tone ...you can pull it all together better ...they are the dark holes in your diverse room . Throw something white on your bed ...the fur you can hide until winter months ! Love your dog , ...make a dog Bed out of it...?

    I’m changing the Furnature to a light grey as they were supposed to be in the first place. The bed was supposed to be a light cream and came in darker. I hand painted the trees because we live in the woods and thought it would be nice. I really can’t change the Furnature and the room was just painted so I was trying my best to pull it all together. I plain white bedding if that would help and considering window treatments?
