Hi Chelsea,

Here are a couple of ideas to refresh the room with just some furnishing and decorating elements:

1. repaint the wall white or cream (will make the space feel bigger and taller).

2. replace the window shade with something a bit cosier/ nicer like roman shades for example.

3. the ceiling fluorescents are really not great, you would have to remove them and put some downlights instead to really make the room feel nicer. If you don't want to spend money changing the ceiling layout you could change the tube to something warmer could help. I would try and avoid using them and rather play with some free-standing floor lamp in the tall corner (opposite to the bed wall) and some nice nightstand or sconces at the bed.

4. replace the doors. Flat panels are rarely flattering unless used in a very modern/ minimal interior, shakers are the easy fix and you can find some affordable ones at home depot.

5. change the doorknobs to something more fun/ special

6. a bed frame or even just a headboard would help your bed feel like the main piece of furniture in the room. If you don't want a footboard, you could end with a bench at the end of the bed.

7. get a comfortable upholstered lounge chair to be next to the floor lamp on the right of the drawer chest

8. add some plants if you are into it

Do you have a picture of the wall opposite to the window? I am wondering if there is a way the bed could face them instead of being tucked in the corner and facing the bathroom door.

Hope this helps ;)

Marina-

These are wonderful ideas! Thank you! I move into the house in two weeks, so these are pictures of the old owners set up so I don't have pictures of the opposite wall but will try to get them soon! There is a little alcove on the opposite side from the window. The previous owner put a desk there. Thank you again!!

How about some curtains to soften it up and give some personality, along the wall of windows? I like a layer of sheers (great in a bedroom for privacy AND light in the daytime) plus a second layer of black-out drapes, both floor-length. The drapes could be a light pattern, for some color and texture.

Also, how about a patterned rug under the bed to add texture and color?

It looks like you get enough light to have a big potted plant in the corner near the bathroom door.

Any chance of repainting? I could see this in a light, cool green-blue. So relaxing.

Add a new duvet cover, pillow shams, and a few throw pillows that add texture.

Looks like you have enough room for a reading chair, too, with a little cocktail table on the side.

Have fun!

Great suggestions, thank you!!
