Ok, don't like the dark cushion, don't like the TV in the bedroom. You could go for pendant lighting using the same 'material' as the mirror? If you went for larger beside lamps while you have that mirror there, they would be fighting each other. In the programs I watch, they say to have 'a hero in the room'. In this case the mirror is the hero I think. Also the extra throw cushion for the bed could match one on the chair, so it ties in (or don't have one at all on the bed). If you did need a TV what about having one installed on the wall to the right of the chair,(looking at the photo) and make sure it can swivel out, so when you aren't watching TV in bed it can be against the wall, out of the way. Then you can have a lovely (glass) ornament or two, or a bunch of flowers sitting on it along with your photos. I love how you have your bed dressed, spot on! (without the dark cushion) I absolutely adore the blue shades in the duvet cover and I would draw those out into the room. Love that you have opened up your windows in the lounge. Maybe a throw rug and some colourful (same colours as in the duvet cover on your bed) cushions on the lounge suite as nothing is really popping! There doesn't seem to be any colour except for the flowers and the photos. Colourful paintings on the wall would be lovely too. Maybe the potted plants could be in coloured (as in your duvet cover) pots instead of white. I know you weren't asking about the lounge and if you are happy with it, then that is all that matters. Well done.

Hard without knowing the style of your apartment. My personal preference is the bottom pic (with flowers). I love the ledge for displaying ornaments and a statement mirror or artwork hung above.

Hi asquithoatley, thanks for your suggestions regarding building up photos in my idea book (didn't know they existed!) I do have room to place it in front of the fireplace however as I wanted to mount a TV on it, thought it might be best to put some room between the couch and TV (I had read that putting a TV on a wall can cause neck aches by looking up, so I thought having it back would mean less likely to be looking up at the TV). I don't have any dimensions sorry, as I have only viewed the house once. We are taking a builder through next week so I can get dimensions then (we haven't put an offer in). Another query I had is, do you think it would be a good idea to shut off the door way to the kitchen from the hallway? I thought it would give me a full wall of cupboards (it is a large kitchen the way it currently is). I then had planned to see if I could remove the wall between the kitchen and the living room (try to give some open plan to the house). I also wanted to demolish the wall between the laundry and living room, turning the laundry into a dining room. The laundry would then get put into a cupboard on one of the walls (I will match it to the kitchen cupboards). I have a very large dining table (family heirloom) that seats 8. The current owners have split the living room into a dining and lounge, using a 4 seater table (not much room for much else). Any suggestions are appreciated!

Wow! Love everything you have done. Kudos to the demolition of extra bedroom in order to reclaim the outdoors. Great job.
