There are windows there. We already painted the walls black where the drapes are covering. The drapes look better than the blinds and completely block any light.

Definitely open to rugs, was going to save that for later.

Could try lighter drapes too.

you only painted the sides of the wall black?

what I mean about blinds is get blackout inset blinds that you draw to sleep. then have the lighter drapes over those so everything doesn't get lost on that wall.

this looks much nicer. the blackout blinds would be pulled down to sleep

And paint the entire wall

Ok so go white drapes? Paint above the bed black and get some sort of centerpiece?

Yes - just the sides of the wall.

Also followed a few of your ideas regarding the bathroom. Turned out well - will update soon

If that's what you like, yes. could be any color you like. Paint the whole wall though

then find a rug you like that works w/whatever bedding you're doing.

I was thinking about some sort of texture - maybe something rustic?

what's the rest of the room look like?

what's the bedding?

Rustic doesn't really go w/your bed style.

these are rustic

you could try something like these

simple batten panels attached to wall. painted

I like these two

cellular shades, inset, blackout. put your drapes over this

I was hoping that the bedding would conceal the bedframe mostly. I have not yet purchased bedding. Am open to idea.

Keep scale and proportion in mind. Is the bed located opposite the door? That's the optimal location for most restful, secure sleep.

I would do nothing with accent wall, just couple wall arts.

We thought it might be a good idea to add some images of bedroom designs we have done for our clients. Please take note of the window treatments, bedding, artwork, lamps, nightstands, and lighting.

Would suggest replacing the fan and light. Would also suggest that you keep the curtains open and that you center the nightstands on the windows. The colors in your guestroom are somber. Might suggest you go brighter and more cheerful. Perhaps you should consider changing out the curtains all together and opt for shades as some posters have suggested. The full height curtains from floor to ceiling don't add height to the room. Yes to artwork. An appealing oriental rug under your bed (even if it is placed over the carpet) should add color, pattern and interest. Good luck!

Hello, if you are still open to suggestions, here are my thoughts.
