Your photo needs to be centered above the bed. In the picture it looks too far to the right, but that may also be just the camera angle. Can you paint? The walls should be almost white, not beige, in a B&W scheme, with just pops of an accent color--as in pillows, maybe.

White or grey would be a better color.

I have pendant lights on each side instead of a lamp, I threw them out when I couldn't stand looking at them anymore lol
Ideas for bedside tables? I just can't seem to make it right :(
Love the grey idea thanks

I think you could only do pendants if you got rid of the fan. If you wanted to replace it i really like this website for great inexpensive lights...in particular this one.

And yes a splash of color would really help maybe a bright blue color.

Sorry! I can see the pendants now. They totally blended in with the wall color. Makes sense, too, as to why you do not have lamps now.
What about round tables to break up some of the straight lines happening in this small area? Round pendants over them??? Could you find tables and paint them????? If you change the wall color, I can see white tables being ok.

I think the room looks good and I love those pendants. What would really make everything wow is a graphic wallpaper behind the bed. Black..black/white.

Thanks Nancy it does look beige in that picture it's actually "natural white" the white bed makes it look yellowish! I will have to change to a whiter white. Thanks for pointing that out.

i would go with a deep grey..i chose a darker color grey on my walls and a lighter shade of grey on my ceiling actually and I absolutely love it..Have you thought about adding yellow or even turqouise and pink go well togther with grey. Depending on your style of home and personality you could even go with colored bed side tables..I actually picked up bedside tables for my guest bedroom in a blueish color at Target so cheap so you dont feel bad if you want to change it a few years from now http://www.target.com/c/accent-furniture-living-room/-/N-5xtmd#?lnk=gnav_furniture_7_36&intc=736565|null the room is a lighter blue color with yellow accents...i just love color and adding different tones of that color along with textiles on the bed! Dont search under bedside tables but try accent tables..

I like it. But not side lights. a industrial stainless would work. Restoration Hardware has some. Hang a little lower . Add lime green bowl to top of end tables. Add one lime green pillow to bed. Walls would be better painted a lite gray. Lower your picture 4-5" add another photo above that one. Or put that one on another wall and wallpaper in a silver metallic ,with black and white graphic design. On wall behind bed. Add black n white chevron panels to ends of window. They will mirror your pillows.

If not n love with fan. Change to drum style chandelier, in silver drop lower than fan.

You might like larger pendants, and maybe shaded to reduce glare.

I like the second one--makes a statement.

What about a really big statement?

Instead of gray why not choose a deep purple as an accent wall. It would warm up your room and create some depth.

To bring in a worldly charm and some dimension, I suggest putting one of these mother of pearl wall decors above each night stand and then hanging some simple pendants. This type of pendant would compliment the details of the wall decors instead of competing with them. Replacing the fan with a modern version of a chandelier would also add some visual interest. Black would help ground the room with all the other black accents.

Replacing the rug with a more graphic one would lighten up the space. Consider adding a smaller rug (either cowhide or faux sheep skin) next to the bed. This would work with either your existing rug or this patterned one.

Lydia - what is the name of that paint color you posted? I love it!!

Hi deebear! I believe it's Plum Royale by Benjamin Moore.

love the black and white look !

while i love the plum/purple color by itself, i'm personally not a fan of the purple/black/white combination. idk why it makes me think "gangster rapper", lol ;) no offense. i googled "purple black bedroom" and my fears were confirmed.
