Who will be using this room? Is there a budget for some new furnishings? Initial ideas would be to remove wallpaper/draperies, new paint including moulding around door, update ceiling light fixture, new furniture/bed linens…bed, night stands, table lamps, and dresser or chest that fits in alcove, with tv above it. Install doors on closet and Roman shades on windows. Some art above bed and wall decor on wall opposite bed.

Oh and area rug under bed

Hang curtain panels over the closet door way. Paint walls. New curtains or blinds on windows. New furniture. What is your budget? Do you have a particular look, colors, or style you like?

Thank you Susan for responding so helpful. So the room is for my husband and I and is a temporary home until we buy a house. My husband rented the house without really looking at how dated it was and now it has to change! I can do anything in terms of decor, furniture etc that came with the house. Definitely not my taste or style lol! 1952 house was built. My difficulty is I am very indecisive about colors. I can paint it but which color? The wall papers awful so any suggestion for a color th brighten up but not overwhelm. What color rug goes with orange toned wood floors? Can’t change those

Thank you Kendra

I like the idea of curtain panels on closet but which color and style? I like simple lines no fuss prob light color. I like the organic modern style but with warmth and coziness hugge scandi but not minimalist. Too cold for me. Light colored furniture but I don’t really know what style will work or what color paint . Light? Neutral? Dark? What color curtains bed linens ? I know when I see a beautiful room but I don’t know how to put it together myself either all the details so very overwhelmed! Thank you!

Oh I haven’t made a budget but I’m not remodelling . I have a budget for furnishings and furniture like rugs , furniture, curtains, paint etc. I’m also doing the bathroom which is another design disaster

Also closet is used by my husband. I have mine in another room. I DEFINITELY want to cover as very unsightly

I would hang a bar and create a second closet in the alcove or shop for a dresser that would fit there. Getting new sconces is an easy DIY if you plan to leave the bed there.

Thanks!
