Do you mean put something on the wall or floor? Your second pic shows the area better. Could you perhaps move the dresser to the left a bit and away from the window? It looks a bit squished in there. And that poses the question, can you still walk easily through to bathroom?

Exactly....Why is the dresser so close to the window?

Also don’t understand that window treatment? If the dresser could be moved over a bit, I would prefer to see full length drapes there.

I was thinking a plant or something else on the floor. The reason the dresser is located there is so that the bed and tv are somewhat aligned (it’s a bit of an odd shaped room)

I'd pull the dresser over to the left slightly. There is no need for it to be aligned with the bed since it will not be centered on the bed. Center the TV over the dresser in it's new location. Put it on an arm that you can pull out to angle whatever best works for viewing from in bed.

No need for anything to be to the left of the dresser.

If you prefer to keep the current arrangement, I was thinking a narrow tall mirror that sits at the floor but looks like there might already be a mirror on the wall? A raised planter could look good there too.

I was thinking a plant or something else on the floor.

There appears to be a heat register on that back wall to the bathroom and a plant might not do well because of it.

I am thinking how in heck would we KNOW? ( definite no to crowding the passage to bath)

Show all the angles of the room. What is on that closet side? Show the wall with the white mirror! the head of the bed!

Also......

I am all for neutral, but the room is screaming a bit for some warmth, some texture,,,,,, a larger rug..... a lift?!

Please add more pictures, all angles of the room from all sides.?

Bed/dresser alignment is not as important as dresser’s location and also suggest moving left, finding a happy medium of being centered and having decent access into bathroom.

Here is a video to give more perspective on the room. Note this is a 1930s home on the north shore of Chicago so room layout isn’t ideal.

Ok looks like I can’t post video so here are additional pictures from the 4 corners of the room

Address the far more important issues.

No night tables, no bedside lamps, .......white bedding is fine but needs "finish and intent" or winds up looking as an unmade afterthought.

You're suffering the lackluster, a king bed in a room from a time when there were no "king".

The space left of your dresser isn't the issue.

Draw the room, the halls, the closet, the dormer and note all the feet and dimensions. Upload that as a jpeg.

A rug under the bed and side tables are what you need. Move the dresser and tv away from the window a bit.

Here are dimensions of primary from our listing (we just purchased the house). We have just enough room to put 18 inch round bedside tables on either side (picture attached). What size rug should we put in room?

Get a 9 x 12 rug. The room is 13 x 16 without the dormer and closets.

Put a color on the walls.....even a hint!

DON'T buy more of the same Pottery Barn finish! The match of dresser and bed is plenty. There are a million 18 inch side tables......: )

Keep it airy, change up the finish, add great lamps and watch the shade size: )

West elm below, get a glass cut to protect the top.

Size large, Pottery Barn below

Get your inspos going : )

It's a pretty bedroom, and one I would enjoy waking up in with it so bright and fresh looking.

My thoughts to add a bit of oomph to the space is that I wouldn't add anything to the left of the dresser. Keep it open. I would, however, move the dresser to the left about 9-12", and move the flat screen down so it sits about 6-8" above the dresser. On the dresser I would put a tray with something decorative such as greenery, small jars, etc. or decor to the sides of dresser so that it does not block view of tv.

The other thing your room needs is some texture. Whether you want to add a color or keep it white, it needs texture to create some visual interest. Add some pillows with texture to the bed along with a lightweight throw and then a rug to help ground the space.

Even though you have a king size bed that takes up a lot of the space, consider adding small tables or wall hung storage on the wall, so you have a place for a few things you may want near you at night, such as phone, etc. Using wall or ceiling hung bedside lights are great to help keep those tables/shelves freed up from the space of a lamp. The look best hardwired but you can get plug-ins and use a cord cover if necessary.

Adding real plants to the room really adds to the look and feel of the room. A plant placed on the window seat would look great.

Maybe I missed something, but is there an outside mount shade on top of an inside mount shade? I like the color and style but something looks off. Plus it looks like they haven't been "trained" to stay in their folds. If doing something with them then ignore my comment.

Enjoy your room!

I would add a plant there (like you’ve already thought about doing) if filling that space is the goal. But like others have suggested, if the goal is to harmonize the whole space; create depth/texture with a rug, window treatments, paint and bedside tables and art that is complimentary to the existing furniture, not matched.

Thank you to everyone who everyone Who helped with this project. Here are updated photos with rug, bedside tables, and lamps. Any other suggestions much appreciated!

Oh and artwork on the walls now!
