To many rugs on floor. Get one 8 x10 in cream and shades of rust, tan. persian put at foot of bed and push under bed 5ft. Center bed on wall more. Get bigger taller lamps with cream shades drum style. Gold base. Over bed a big art piece. 40x 40 with creams but also teals, and color. Why is there a scones by wall hanging? Remove and hang it higher to hide. Mirror in wall too small remove replace with a floor mirror in dark frame lend against wall. On big wall add a big art piece low. In colors. New bedding go a shiny satin bronze color add more pillow with same shams. Add pillows in cream. A cream throw at foot of bed. Not crazy about night tables, too modern for look. Get dark wood bigger 36" long chest type

Warm bamboo flooring, maybe a fabric headboard, with luxurious linens picking up the colors of the rug at the foot of the bed. Mirrors, glass, and black are very metro but not necessarily warm. First pick your palette and go from there, if you like the silver, pick linens and a fabric head board in those hues. What about using the mirror on the wall as the top to a blanket box at the end of the bed?

Thank you everyone for your comments. We live outside Christchurch, and the house was badly damaged in the quakes here. The post-quake rebuild process could safely be described as slightly chaotic, and the house company I am using are located some distance away (like on the North Island), which is why discussion with the architect has been - em - less than optimal. The architect threw something at me to get me out of my comfort zone I think and this is what's freaking me out! I think the windows on the east side are to come (no reason for them not being there), and probably a skylight in the kitchen roof. The section of land is narrow and steep, (this is a historic port town and with access from the south (where the view is); there is no parking other than on the street (south). Patricia - the laundry doesn't sit right with me either! Looks a bit like it's been glued on the side of the hosue. And it is too small as it is to store coats, shoes etc. This is the access to the back garden - thus the door (also means muddy boots can be dumped when we come in!). Entering a house through a living room is very common over here, especially where space is at a premium (small section, small house footprint).

I am planning to add scatter cushions and think if I do a pair of larger ones for each end so they go over the arms to creat height at each end, and a couple of smaller ones, I want to bring some colour in too. I do like the idea of a larger side light at either end to, Switching the sofas is going to be my final fix if all else fails!!

The market is full of tropical/botanical art at the moment which lend themselves well to tropical or beachy looks. The look you are after calls for natural textures with a soft colour palette, think linen bedding and layer it up with throws and cushions for texture and pops of colour. In my opinion drapes are not a good option in your room as the ceiling slopes to just above your window at a certain point. This would dictate the height at which your drapes hang and, in this instance would be too low. To soften the windows, I would have a tall palm or Fiddle Leaf Fig tree in wicker basket. It also looks like you have the space for a chair.

I'd like to see some decorative mirrors on the wall, too. Or maybe a tall lamp to brighten up the top part of the room. Maybe some bright rugs?

I would add a taller headboard in dark wood or a velvet fabric in dark cream. Make 4-6 ft high. Or cover in fabric from wall hanging.

On wall is that a hanging or wall paper? If wall paper I would do behind bed only. And get tall headboard. Mirror end tables too small and not style for room go dark wood big Chet type. Dark wood floors would work but still get area. rug to go under bed see my other post for ideas.

You should get lighter blinds, get two bedside tables, and get coffee table with glass on top.

PUT IN SOME COLOUR!! With such a pleasant base, you could change your colour scheme as often as you please. I suggest starting with a wall decoration you LOVE - so choose carefully - picture, plates, set of photos, wall hanging asian rug, whatever, but colours you really enjoy. Then, pick 1 or 2 or 3 throws to drape on the bed, or over a chair that pick 1 particular colour out & a scatter cushion similar - or 2 or 3.
I you want, you can do the same with the bed sheets. Then you can change the colour scheme whenever you feel like it. And don't forget fresh flowers. Depending whats available, they can tie in a colour scheme very well & always look so friendly.

I liked the idea of floor mirror but how about the dresser table should it be placed next to the floor mirror .. Regarding the fabric headboard how should i place it behind the bed ? Because the bed has a small one would it look nice ? Mine is linked with the bed

So the small mirror placed behind the bed and replaced with floor mirror and for the other wall i bought pictures frame that can contain 18 pics so its quite medium sized

Should i go for blinds or curtains ?

I would take mirror you have on wall now out. Love floor mirror in yr pic but do one half that size 6 ft tall 40" wide. Headboard you have remove. You can buy higher headboard, any bed place. Attach to bed frame, like other one was . You don't keep old one. I would get bigger night stand. Yours are very modern. And wall hanging. (What is that wallpaper?) is traditional. Put dark wood in room instead. Panels on windows a cream add enough to be full A min 4. Don't see window take picture. Area rug 8 x10 in cream and a small design like diamond design in a tan. Push under foot of bed. Then get new bedding. Start with these ideas post picture and we will talk you though rest of room.

The sconce on the wall is a little out of place. I would consider a possible track kit that could be side mounted against the wall above the window. It would be a great way to keep the light without removing it all together. Here is a picture of a track that we sell that could go with the modern feel and dark accents. You could also consider a Silver finish as well. Also I would go taller with the side table lamps for a better balance. 25" to 30" tall would be a good range.

yes definitely replace the flooring with hard wood or carpet.. Remove the two side tables, They are overpowering the room. Purchase a medium height padded velvety textured headboard and attach to bed. Set in front of window and add coordinating drapery. with Sheers underneath. Choose a color like TAUPE or Chocolate brown as anything can go with that well. Then purchase new or used pedestal tables for the bedside tables. Should only be 6 inches above the mattress height. in a Dark Brown or Cherry color. Add two lamps with circular shades in white or cream or a very light heather grey. Choose a coordinating bedspread and pillows that have the taupe/grey color as well as other colors it desired. On the adjacent wall where the bed was put a dark wood sofa type table with a large tall mirror behind it but not as large as you have in the pic. Add black and white family pics or go to Art.com and pick circular art pieces for near the bed. Round pillows on the bed as an accent works too.

I agree with others about art. It can bring the warmth and contemporary feel into your room.
I personally like impressionistic art in bedroom. But this is my taste. Here is a collection: http://alexeirebrov.com/collections/impressionism

SO EASY TO GIVE ADVICE----- there is a lot to consider, your colour preference, do you have
A partner, and their colour choice. Does the sun rise in this room or set. Are you artsy or mechanical.
It is all intertwined with the look you acquire.. There are four seasons in the colour wheel. Spring summer winter and fall. Have a look at them, you will know instantly, after that its a breeze. This is a wonderful
Programme, also architectural digest magazine. Truly love to design this room.

You need a beautiful custom headboard and new comfort set, add some color and a matching rug. Some bedside lighting would step it up also. I don't know your taste, but I like elegance, bling..

You have a blank canvas here which while wonderful, can be intimidating. We would
suggest ﬁnding a textile or rug that embodies your vision for the room and use it as your inspiration. Reﬂect on what makes you feel comfortable and warm in a space. Is it texture, color or certain materials? Wood ﬂooring is a great start. We would caution too much use of one element (i.e. mirror). You have a lot of 'lightness', so we would suggest adding some depth in tone, perhaps with your wall finish. Good luck!
