Nothing wrong with burnt orange walls in the right context IMO -- I don't think I have ever suggested a mish-mash of brightly coloured stools' -- I would sooner have say a burnt orange feature wall and 4 tall orange and chrome stools at a white or timber breakfast bar , as opposed to white , white , white and white . The bedroom already had that nice blue picture , and the plantation blinds . What was changed ? They took out the grey pillowslips , and colour co-ordinated it . Yes , read that again -- they took out the grey . And it looks better IMO . The stairs conversely -- they added grey textured wallpaper or maybe it is panelling . I don't like the style of light used anyway , but IMO by going black and gold against grey emphasises that difference , and similarly the cart in the same black and gold , with grey carpet just doubles down . Maybe it's my bizarre taste , but I don't like grey and gold mixed -- black and grey and silver works but is bland ; black and gold ( without silver ) is generally classy . Without knowing the colours in the surrounding rooms , apart from probably blue in the one bedroom , it's difficult to say , but if it was 'just' those stairs on their own , I'd change the light obviously ( probably something with a modern look and in mainly black , a bit of chrome ? ) , the textured walls on charcoal as it looks modern , but with a colourful abstract picture to add colour , and if keeping the grey carpet , I'd have chrome on the cart , and possibly a bit of red or orange -- you see that white vase , imagine that in red for instance . See , we are all different , you may love what they've done , I don't . A couple of other commenters love it , a couple don't . I like colour in my life ( around a theme generally ) -- arrest me !

Nothing wrong with the bed, but of course it may have been better in cranberry or teal for a boho look. However there are things you can do, yes even with a dark grey buttonback bedhead. Some of those things are scary and some less so. Depends on what boho style she likes. There is the colourful kind..... and the far more boring naturals kind. 1. You can paint fabric. You can in fact buy car upholstery recolouring spray for this exact purpose. Say goodbye to grey, say hello to cranberry. It will change the feel of the fabric by making it stiffer. But since it's on a bedhead and not say a lounge chair it's very likely to last and not look rubbish once it wears. Bear in mind you won't be able to make the bedhead lighter this way. There is also the option to paint it with acrylic wall paint. You will have more latitude to change the colour since it's solid but it will also take on a stiff and somewhat waxy look and feel resembling leather. 2. buy a morrocan or some kind of intricate pendant for the room. 3. Choose patterned cushions not plain. a trellis design, a velvet, a paisley will all work well., Focus on colour palettes involving orange, fuschia, teal, cranberry, turquoise or pastel versions of that. 4 The side table lamp is fine. You might want to paint or wallpaper the bedside table however. 5. You need voile curtains and a velvet or silk-look-a-like drape. Voile is also excellent to make a bed canopy for a very dreamy and aircon friendly look. One of those oversized mosquito nets above the bed does the trick for $20 and you can even string a set of fairly lights in it for an ethereal look. 6. Get a patterned rug. One of those faded and distressed persian styles is perfect.

How exciting for you to have such a clean clear slate to work with. Your room a somewhat like mine in a house we have just renovated and I had some great advice from our project manager/designer. We also have a huge window with an amazing outlook, one we didn't want to hide but needed covering at night. She helped us choose full sized curtains in a sheer texture that softened the room but even when the curtains are closed, still allow the outside view and colours to show. They stack back to either side of the window. Of course the roller blind is ideal for privacy and it is so well hidden when retracted. When your curtains are open it looks like you have the beautiful piece of art with that view. When our curtains are open we have a lake and huge jacaranda outside so I placed a piece of Indigenous art on the opposite wall which bought in colour, particularly the mauve of the jacaranda, to the room. Not sure what your fourth wall is like but would there be room to put your existing green based art on that wall, to reflect the outside green. The chair in the room is probably a little large but there is no sense putting it in the other corner unless your are ready to drag it across the room when you want to watch tv (when everyone else is watching something on the other tv). What about moving your plant into the corner beside the tv on a raised stand. With a smaller chair and the plant moved then two large freestanding lamps would look great. Can't wait to see your new artwork and where your room goes from here. I hope my photos help with my explanation, note the jacaranda was at the end of its flowering. We have since finished the room and introduced a little more colour.

With grey and white to go with, you're right on trend (well, in NZ anyway). Keep those colours. With the furniture, cut the newell posts off the bed and square up the headboard and baseboard (or get rid of the baseboard altogether if you can. I did my headboard with a piece of MDF and covered it with a sheet. I'd do the same with the dresser - cut the newell posts off. Those things really date the furniture. Paint all the furniture either gloss white or black and change the handles to silver or brushed chrome. Just make sure that some where else in the room is the same silver/ brushed chrome. Maybe a photo frame of a couple of lamps? I think white.High gloss. Black or grey plain (no pattern) drapes as close as you can get to the wall colour. That way they disappear and don't become a feature (unless you got for very expensive and make them a show piece). I'd put the drapes behind some shimmer voile sheers that drape across the floor a little. Now you only have to choose accents and you'll have a different look any time. Pinks, blues, purples -whatever takes your fancy. Don't forget to add in a few different textures to soften things up a bit, ad see if you can pick up a 2nd hand cheap chandelier.I think I spent about $300 total from a nasty blue flocked wallpaper and apricot curtains, and a couple of other bits and pieces. Would love to see the finished product!!
