love your bedspread but what about a painting, a rug, curtains and some retro lamps (but hide the power board out of sight) and a plant, some photos and jewelery box or a tray for your watch and phones etc on the drawers under the TV..

Having all matching furniture can make a room feel flat. I’d add a patterned throw pillow to the bed. Plus art for the walls and a couple of plants. Consider a rug for the floor. What type of style do you like?

Thanks for the great ideas. We live in a 60’s red brick and absolutely love it. We’re trying for a retro contemporary. Hard to see in the pictures but the cushions are a gum leaf green and at a loss to know what colours to lift it and bring it all together. Would love to inject a little more 60’s - hence why I bought the modern chenille quilt cover.

Start with art work then pick an accent colour from that for a throw rug obverse end of bed. Add some tall lamps for reading.
Gum trees have flowers red.

Working on your 60s theme and picking up the green pillows. The addition of some colour would like the room. You have a good base, just needs a bit oomph.

Love the bed cover, change the base cover to match it, tall slim adjustable reading lamps on both side of the bed, a large round white hanging paper shade above the bed, simple full length curtains matching the wall colour. Add a couple of Marimekko pillows.

A Matching floor lamp between the window and TV console and some art above the bedhead. A seagrass rug beside the bed? maybe a bit rough on the toes?

big paper light shades are so gorgeous and we have them wherever possible...under $10 and lovely soft light...what's not to love?

Thank-you. What do you mean to change the base cover?

It is a dark colour I think will look better matching the colour of your bed cover and not the timber head

Of course it is boring -- everything is grey or off-grey , except for the bed and drawers -- and they are nice , a nice grain and stand out .

I wouldn't go green , unless that is your favourite colour . It is too close to green for my liking -- even emaralkd green won't contrast enough to give much of a lift IMO .

Pretty much everyone has said art , and I agree -- it won't be easy , but try and get a framed picture or print in a frame with the same tone and grain as your bed . Hang it above the headboard . And go colourful ( but tasteful ) in a picture . A red rose . Or an abstract rose in yellow , red , orange , blue and green or whatever . A sunset . A sunrise . Something with gold in it . Basically , whatever you like . Stand back -- look good ?

Pick one of the colours . Go with cushions the same . A rug . A clock . A smaller piece of art on another wall , similar tones but different . See bigreaders photos -- to me , nothing much , then nothing much , then the art -- yes with orange and blue tones mixed in , and you notice it !

OR what about wallpapering 1 wall . Nothing too much else .That headboard wall , papered in a rich green with gold stripes ; maroon with scrolls ; etc -- something to stand out , but blend in too . You won't need cushions or much else -- maybe a print further down the track , but thats it .

Ahhh, I get it now. I have dark green pillowcases and sheets - I need to alter the colour to match the cover and choose contrasting cushions and a throw to match a yet to be purchased picture to be hung over the bed. thankyou sooo much - I now have a direction to go. You are all awesome.

Some great advice, I just love your bed and that cover is beautiful, look for gorgeous lamps, linen cushions to add a luxurious look, fab artwork, maybe a gorgeous chair and throw, even a rug under bed would look fabulous.

These prints by Peter Cromer have a combination of retro and modern. There are quite a few birds and animals with various colours to choose from. He’s an Australian artist. Another very worthwhile place to look is In a Luxe, also retro vibe, reasonably priced and Australian.

That’s lovely. I’ll definitely take a look

This is pretty much it now (we’re going to mount the picture tomorrow). Thanks for the feedback and constructive criticism. It was very much appreciated. Soooo much happier with it now .......

It's lovely now.

Thankyou. It has impact now.

Wow, gorgeous

Looks great now... A finishing touch would be something on chest in combination of colours in room.... Or even a large black bowl / tray filled with colours - you could even use scarves.... Or add fluffy reddish cushion cover as a feature in basket... Group items on a runner...

Great work. Love it

Think of each area as a vignette of whole scheme..the more you can bring same colours into each area...the more it will flow & "sing".

Don't be scared of colour...

Thanks Purplekristi
