    I agree that the remedy is wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-floor drapes. Then center the bed just forward of the drapes so that the headboard does not touch the drapes. Place your lamps so the lampshades do not touch the drapes. The drapes need to hang freely for the best look.
    Don’t pile extra pillows on the bed: your regular pillows and 2-3 smaller decorative pillows is enough.
    Bring the tv down so it hangs just above the dresser below it. Those exposed cords/wires are just ugly.

    Agree that full wall drapes will up the elegance factor immediately. It will be an investment but well worth it.

    You don’t show the entire room but can you angle the bed in the corner?

    Scale up the bedside tables so they can hold their own next to the massive headboard.

    In order to see the TV while laying down, it’s got to be up higher on the wall. Use a cord cover if the wires bother you. Good luck.

    How about elegant farmhouse?is there such thing?

    I think "elegant farmhouse" would be full of authentic antiques and no "wanna be" big box store items, chalk painted cast-offs or word signs.

    Can you please post photos?how big?i have limited space in my bedroom that’s why I chose smaller nightstands.

    That was nice of you to dedicate a room to that headboard. It’s simply too big in scale for the space.

    Now I need help

    I guess since you have blinds, I would not put a curtain on that window. Do you have other windows in the room? If so, just use blinds. I know you were asking about curtains but have a couple of suggestions......Your night stands are nice, and looks like the one on the right is as big as you can have. My suggestion would be to get a wider night stand for the left side of your bed. See if they make two sizes of those night stands. Won't interfere with the door. And another suggestion...since your beautiful bed is dark, I would get dark colored night tables also. Interested to see what sort of bedding you get.

    Floor to ceiling and wall to wall equals big bucks! Dark rod draws the eye to the window. Inexpensive fix would be an small inside mount rod and simple, straight curtain, same color as wall, that fits just inside the window. Make the window disappear.

    You are getting help and you need to decide if you want it. A wall of drapes is the answer those night tables ar too huge for the space as is the bed but its your room so do what you like elegant farmhouse will not start with that headboard. I sure would not do painted night tables and the ones you have are in no way working with that bed.

    Are you sure that wall-to-wall drapes are out of the running for you? Do you have an IKEA anywhere nearby? IKEA carries track for ceiling mounted curtains (very inexpensive), or you can get ceiling track online at Amazon or others. Your ceiling doesn’t seem particularly high, and your wall isn’t very wide - 8ft or 9ft tall curtain panels aren’t too awfully expensive at Wayfair or halfpricedrapes.com.
