The feature wall is last century. I would do all the walls or none of them. Drenching is all the rage.

I have never understood the need for a bright bedroom since all you do in there is usually at night. I like the blue but not as feature wall. IMO get some decent bedding then see what you should do but I would do all the walls and maybe even the ceiling . Some good lighting for when you clean and good night table lighting and forget those short drapes

Yes to arwork above the bed. The blue is nice but the wall feels empty. Also, yes to new bedding!

I’d keep the blue as a feature wall for now. It’s a beautiful color, but painting the whole room could feel quite heavy during the darker winter months. I’d add one larger piece of artwork above the bed in warm neutral tones to break up the blue and connect it with the natural wood. I’d also replace the current curtains with floor-length sheer curtains plus full-length blackout curtains - that would instantly make the room feel softer and more finished. Then bring a little of the blue onto the opposite wall through artwork or textiles rather than more paint. I think that would create the balance you’re looking for while keeping the room light and cozy.

I would get some art work, and some new bedding, and just leave the pretty blue wall, and not add anymore. It wont look right to paint any of the other walls the blue. I agree, get rid of the short draperies and put up ones that go to the floor. The short ones are outdated, and do nothing for the room. You need some decor to tie everything together.

Maybe make a few changes and live with for a bit. No matter what you decide to do, light layered bedding is a great way to draw the eye and off set dark walls, especially in a small room. Do you need drapes? Consider larger lamps and a mirror for light reflection. If you decide to paint, suggest including the radiator or it will stick out.

What number Blue is on the can? From what direction is the natural light coming?

Thanks everyone! It's Lick Blue 06. Sunlight is west so get a sunny afternoon, evening on the front of the house. Defo lighter bed linen. Drapes tricker as radiator on window wall so in winter this would mean covering radiator...

“last century” or not, I like the color & really dislike the current ”color drenching” trend, but I don’t care for most ”trends”. Really like Emily’s rendition.

Can privacy (winter or summer) come from closed blinds and not closed drapes? For me, the soft, luxurious look of floor-to-ceiling drapes would be well worth keeping them stationary and never closing them.

As for color on one wall versus all walls, that's your call. (Never mind what's current fashion; which will be pronounced the dreaded "dated" tomorrow!) Do you like the focal point that the accent wall creates, or would you like the enveloping feel of color on all walls? If it's on all walls, light bedding, window treatments, and art can counteract any too-dark impression, and, as Patricia says, bedrooms are mostly used at night in warm lamplight, which makes dark walls look wonderful.

I agree with getting blinds that block the lights and shadows, (like the total blackness type of blind or shade), and leaving the draperies open at all times.

I think a bamboo or wood blind that is lined would add some pretty texture and bring the color of your headboard and other furniture over to the window wall. Then longer curtains as suggested but keeping them open in the winter. Emily's rendition is lovely and works well with your new wall color.
