Paint the wooden furniture white, paint the metal bed frame a bright color, like the color of the throw on your bed. Hang the mirror across from the bed sideways on the wall instead on sitting it on the dresser. Get a blank canvas and use the paint you'll use on the bed frame and the wooden pieces to draw eccentrically circles, add a 2nd color, such as purple or fuchsia to the piece. You can add accessories from colors 1 & 2, and glass and silver accessories around. as for you "reading lamp" hang it lower on the bed turned up to add interest to your new art piece. Shift to reading from a lamp that is glass or silver on the small nightstand.

To Ella Kate Thrupp....."a woven piece"...as in a wall rug or a tapestry suggested by yours truly and Tribbletrouble441452k7 Trek? Or maybe you have a more novel idea in mind? Have you come across any "woven" art in your professional travels? I have a friend who actually weaves tapestries on a loom as they did centuries ago thread by thread. They are exquisite and each a unique artwork. She works professionally on commission Very time consuming, meticulous and expensive and she also does it simply for relaxation and sells them. Wonder would there be anything along this line available commercially today? Such a "woven piece" would make an enormous impact in any room, so beautiful and unique in a bedroom especially if a design woven to order...but Yikes $$$$$. Afterthought...a painted MURAL designed to order might be a touch of luxury if you engaged somebody to do it and they presented you with a series of pictures for you to choose from.....that would not fall down! I did one for a friend's guest donga in Charleville QLD...she wanted a fantasy and had a lot of input herself, it was a collaborative effort and she got exactly what she wanted. Can't go wrong with a mural...can always paint over it when you want something different.

Thanks Lizzy, we will be putting in a narrow shelving unit on the right hand side and intend to get an 8 seater dining table (probably with black chairs) which will helpful up the space! We previously had a large shelving unit on the left but it made the entrance feel too cramped as it's not a very large room, given we have kitchen/dining/lounge in one. I tend to agree with others that the art needs to be much larger, or if its smaller I need to group them. Wish me luck!!! I'm not very decisive so it may take me a while!!

Hi Carol , I hate the artwork but wonder if the colouring is way too little for the space haha ? Everything in your place is grey , beige , off-grey , off-beige , off-blue , and charcoal . So to add some excitement you get some art in grey , beige , off-grey , off-beige , off-blue and charcoal ! Three months ago I bought an original abstract picture about 1.2metres square -- a yacht under sail in heavy seas . Except it was all in brightish colours , the texture is literally knifed on . But straight away , your eyes are drawn to it , and you know exactly what it is . We know sails aren't really orange and yellow and apricot and butter -- but it portrays the fury ! The sails are actually heavy paper , screwed up , flattened , painted and glued to the canvas -- it is 3 dimensional ! I'm actually not a sailing person , but at $800 I grabbed it , and glad I did . It may not be your choice , but imagine just from my description , what something like that would add to your place . A large flower or fruitbowl if you want to be safe , a 'quality' landscape , or something that is a talking point if you are as mad as me . . . . . . . . . . and you can change it in 6 months or 6 years .
