It would help tremendously if you gave us dimensions of the room

For sure a to scale plan shoing the windows and if you need any other items besides night tables and lamps. I will sy that is not a very posh looking guest room so once you have the bed placement figured out go get some nice inviting looking bedding

It looks like it's placed on the best wall, you have a clear pathway and can easily access both sides of the bed. If you rotate it to the wall opposite the entry, the closet door will interfere with any side table (or the bed itself), and the other walls are too small to provide access to both sides of the bed. You're good.

It looks like the asymmetry is because you can't center the bed on the wall and still open/close the bedroom door. You can balance the sides pretty easily - add more visual weight like large artwork or a mirror about the same height and width as the window so it looks like the bed is flanked by windows. Then more add symmetry with larger, matching lamps. I can't tell what you're using for the beside table on the entry side. If you don't have anything, you can add an inexpensive, simple desk in the same wood tone as the chest. Guest will appreciate having a larger surface for phones and to set things without placing them on the floor.

The bed looks to be in the right place.  I wouldn't worry about asymmetry- our guest bedroom is asymmetric as well, but we've balanced it off with interesting art on the wall and a small dresser on one side of the bed, and a slim night table on the other.

A thought: what is country-lodge look to one, might be drab to another. I might as well say that the simple headboard suits what you have, but the black-dark isn't a 'go' for me. If a bombe chest, etc.. maybe you're having a dressier room anway.

IMO a guest bedroom should be as close to a 5 star hotel room as possible if the rest of the home is all mountain chalet then that plaid pice would work but to me that dark bedding and too small lamps do not make for an inviting space . BTW the OP has the opportunity to give us abit more info and if feeling insulted can also comment on that. I think when you come here with a dilemma you are asking a question and you will get many answers ignore the ones you do not want .

I certainly do not think that rug will in any way work with the room as it is.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am just getting started on the room. The bed is new and I am just using the bedding I have for the time being. I do love the plaid though but don’t have to keep it. I will need help with decor once I settle on bed location. But it sounds like maybe it is in the right spot. I want to keep the Bombay chest and don’t need much more than night stands. The lamp is just left over from the move so I can get bigger ones.

JT7- I would love help balancing the room with art as you suggest.

Optimal placement for secure, restful sleep is opposite the door, but I don't think you have that option in this room. The fabrics/textiles are very wintery feeling, so think "warm season" when shopping for new linen. Bedside tables should arrive 1" above or below the mattress and a lamp on top should reach somewhere between 58-64" above the floor. Provide a luggage rack inside the closet. Be sure they have a spot for charge devices, a full length mirror (can be on the back of the door) and a chair to sit in. Add art centered 5' above the floor or 5" above furniture. Three stationary drapery panels can soften the window.

I just checked your Ideabooks and now understand why you like the plaid! I especially like the light fixture you photoshopped in to replace the ceiling fan. Are you planning to paint? So…adding a gallery of art on the left wall as you enter will add visual weight and interest to offset the draped windows, a chair in the corner, pillows on the bed, a large art piece on the wall across from the entry will create a focal point, then of course art on the wall opposite the bed. Once you get your ideas up, you will see asymmetry is a charming part of making your vision work.

JT, that room was the guest room in our previous house and we didn’t get around to changing that light. But I loved the moody warm room. I will measure the room and take another photo since I did hang curtains. I would be perfectly happy painting that room navy also. I will post a couple pics of the rest of the house for reference.

Here are a few

And here are the actual measurements and here are the measurements

So should the bed be centered between the corners? Then I could get two good sized night stands but the headboard would be partially in front of window.

Ahhh...measurements don't lie but there are ways to try and maximize what you have. The lovely chair you have in your ideabook won't fit.

Keeping the bed where it is, you have about 22"-23" for a nightstand between the bed and the wall. It isn't terrible but you can try and squeeze even more space from the adjacent wall by considering a corner unit. Something like this will give your guests more surface area for their loose items and roughly mimic the size of the windows on the other side of the bed. You can accomplish the same thing with simple corner shelves and tall, narrow mirrors, artwork or textiles above. Be creative with bedside lighting - plug in sconces above the headboard, or a much taller lamp on the Bombay chest and undershelf lighting on the corner unit...

Well, I dont really love any of those options. But I did put the bed on the other wall and it is soooo much better. Yes, it will leave little room on the right for a table but I may be able to find a small round table that will hold a phone and glass of water or something. I removed the bedding and put on a neutral base to give me something to start from.

I have decided what I want to do with the room. I want to go with a Chinoiserie decor, but not a bright colorful, but more of a moody, darker vibe. I will update my Ideabooks to reflect some ideas.

And I have this screen to put behind the headboard.
