Is that a mirror on the right behind the nightstand?

Crystal,

I recommend you start educating yourself by looking at photos of rooms, colors, fabrics, lighting fixtures: see what you like and why; note what does not appeal and why...this may take time but it will be worth it...you will be defining your style and not following someone else's style. You have painted the room. Look for furniture that will stand out from the gray of your walls and carpet.

I like looking for fabrics with patterns and multiple colors to establish a color scheme; consider what you need for clothing storage.Do you have room for a chair and lamp? a pretty desk maybe a be a good choice for this rather large room. Will you have a TV? Maybe a bookcase unit with a TV will look good across from your bed. Good luck.

Thanks! I shared the ideas above to reference some of my style. I like a mix between boho and mid century modern. I like contrasting colors, but also a bit playful.

I don’t need clothing storage as it’s all contained in my master closet. I do want to have a reading area with a chair or two and a table/lamp.

I thought about either mounting a tv with a floating entertainment center or a bookcase unit as you mentioned.

The accent wall is rather large and I’m not sure the best way to fill it. I love the large white bed shown above, but I also like the wood tones with some decor above.

@Crystal Have you located any pieces of furniture online you like that you could share? Perhaps offering a few photos of items (beds, nightstands, dresser, etc) would help kickstart some more conversation/ideas for you.

Someone asked me this question in another thread - how do you want your bedroom to feel? Glamorous, luxurious, spa-like? Fresh, relaxing, or moody? Thinking of a mood could help you move towards certain design directions as well.

Hi Joanie! Yes, I’ve thought about how I’d like it to feel. Inviting and relaxing. I actually found the furniture in some of the pics above. Once I found the pieces, I found some of the rooms incorporating them. I’ll share some of what I’ve found! Thank you for your tips!

Here are two bed options

Here is the comforter I chose, but it can also be changed.

With the big wall. I want to make sure the bed itself doesn’t look too small for the space. I love the contrasting colors of the wood tones mixed with the white and black. I struggle with mixing various tones and not seeing how the complete look will come together. I can do a smaller headboard like the brown ones above, but need ideas on art above the bed to fill out that wall.

How about nightstands? They will help fill the wall space too. If you find some nightstands and lamps you like, then maybe others can suggest specific combinations of those choices that will go best together.

I was trying to narrow down the bed first and then come up with various nightstand options. It’s not just the width of the wall, but the height.

Since I struggle being indecisive when it comes to decorating, I usually start with a piece of furniture or wall art... or something that I just love and then build the room from there. I don’t necessarily have that item for this room yet so I’m just all over the place.

I’d love to see what other people would do also. Just trying to get some ideas.

I think the blend of the wooden bed frame and black accent wall looks great in your inspiration photos. One difference I notice between those photos and your current room is the rest of your room has grey walls, whereas the inspiration photos all have white walls against the black accent wall. The white walls contribute to a feeling of freshness, something you may consider for your own room.

The height of the accent wall can be helped by artwork, but you probably want to get fairly wide nightstands, since you have a king sized bed. Here is a good blog post on "bedroom rules" that may help you narrow your search for nightstands and lamps:

Yes! I think a statement headboard will help the bed to not be swallowed up. I’m open to an upholstered headboard also.
