It is a lot of wood. I would paint the wall paneling white since there's already white trim. Absolutely NO grey wood. It will clash horribly with the yellow wood you already have, plus it always tends to look cheap and unnatural IMO. I'd put in an LVP that matches the darker stain of the beams.

Nice space to work with. I would paint walls and ceiling white and leave the beams stained as they are. I would match the flooring with the wood beam color. Later new bedding and drapes flanking the sides of the windows. Depending on budget you may need to change some of your furnishings for a more modern look. IKEA has some great selections for this style. Best wishes!

I wouldn't paint, I love the wood you've got goin' on! Start with the floor. If you've got hardwood underneath, take up the carpeting, sand and finish it and then find an area rug with a modern/contemporary pattern.

Then tackle the railing. Take out the traditional posts and balusters and try something like this:

Then change up your furnishings:

You could turn this into an urban chic loft apartment look.

I've been there with a bedroom. Grey anything clashes with pine, particularly a light grey. Paint the pine, get a dark grey textured carpet, and leave the beams. Grey wood grain and yellow pine wood grain will look particularly bad. I had a bedroom with yellow pine floors and grey wood paneling. Not a good look. I inherited the paneling and didn't realize how yellow the floors would look until I refinished them. Another option is to paint the floor if you have good solid wood underneath the carpet and they you can get area rugs if you want something soft underfoot. That's what I would have done had I realized my ancient reddish pine wood floors would turn yellow-gold after stripping off the old varnish. You could also strip the pine finish and do it a driftwood stain vibe kind of thing but honestly that would be too toxic and labor intensive for my taste.

Edited to add that for a modern, slightly Asian look, yellow pine and BLACK looks fab together. I'm lazy, I'd go for a yellow, black and white color scheme with some red or dark blue thrown in for fun.

I'd probably paint the walls but leave the ceiling and beams; you can always paint the ceiling later if it's still too much wood.

I think I'll go the direction of painting the walls white and leaving the beams. For the floor I'll get hardwood to match that beam color. Should I put sheet rock inbetween the beams? Or should those just be painted white.

Also what's everyone's opinion about covering one of the windows with the bed? I can't really move it to the left or it will be too close to the walk in closet, and my bed frame is about level with where the window will be

I would be tempted to stain the beams and flooring darker. Also the ceiling looks like a low grade pine paneling....if it were my room i would remove the large off window and sheetrock and tape or panel the the whole room and whitewash the brick chimney face......like the room shown below for suggestion of stain, paint, paneling and removal of window.

Can somebody photoshop what it would look like with white wood and darker beams?
