Hi Beth, we love contemporary! I think you could achieve your desire to shift to a contemporary look easily by retaining the blue quilt cover and pillows (blue textiles are still on-trend for bedrooms, take a look at Mark Tuckey's website or Jardan's website!) You could also retain the beige chunky throw, as the texture is also on trend and helps connect the midnight blue to the carpet colour. Then simply add beige or white sheets and turn down the quilt so that you can see the folded effect. This will lift the colour palette and look fresher and more contemporary without looking too masculine. (Refer to a bedroom we recently styled below for one of our photo shoots). Then replace the cushions to get a more modern look with one textured cushion to match the throw ( i.e. 'Jardan 'knot stone' or 'cloud cream' or similar ). If you must have more, some plain linen ones in a similar colour. If your budget stretches to it, replace the curtain with a full-height double blind in a slightly darker blue or blue-grey! From the ceiling down to the floor. This would have a big impact on the room. Lamps will depend on budget and your personal choice, but if you can afford it look for an Australian-designed lamp that might have timber or linen elements in it, or even black. My current favourite lighting designer is Daniel Giffin i.e. 'Oko' or 'Pino' table lamps! Good Luck!

Some amazing suggestions above, if you're after a more budget friendly approach... I would reduce the brown-based colours (beige walls, beige calico looking curtain etc) and dark colours to make it feel less focused on the rustic wood. Cooler, fresher colours such as layering fresh white and pale greys, if you wish an interesting pop colour, but keep it 'muddy' (not too bright/primary) to sit well with the neutrals and the wood tone. So possibly a beautiful muted chatreuse, mustard, or even a deep teal.

Definitely change your bedlinen - fresh whites and pale greys and then play on texture using beautiful linen, perhaps a couple of cushions in velvet (Target have some quite good quality ones). And I also think some large Euro pillows will soften the impact of the bedhead and get a larger quilt cover and let it sit/fall naturally over the foot of the bed, rather than tucking it in, this will also disguise the heavy wood.

If you want to go further I'd definitely recommend changing your cream walls to a natural white or pale grey, even a warm based grey. Then change your curtain to a neutral blind or better yet a plantation shutter - this will look more contemporary classic and is also great for bedrooms in adjusting light nicely and privacy.

Then once you've done all that and see how it all settles, buy some interesting bedside lamps, style with some lovely contemporary classic items such as a candle, small vase, or a small marble tray.

Love this...

Though this shape could suit the solid furniture better.

Layering other elements will take the focus off the bedroom suite and it should sit harmoniously with all the rest.

I really like the wall sconce lamp in Julie's post, and also Sarah's 1st westelm lamp post. Beth, would you consider wall sconces or pendants for bedside lighting?

Taller and larger lamps would suit well. I rather like idea of incorporating some gold into,your decor, ie cushions (breakfast size), lamps, artwork, etc. Just hints here and there.

Here is I found idea online

I think that bed skirt can cover rustic vibe.
