Hey Garen, how did you go with your plans?

Well, what do you have and what do you like? I tend to always have a backlog of posters, prints and photos waiting to be framed - and, actually, waiting for the wallspace to be available! It depends whether you want the art simply to be decorative, or something that reminds you of when you visited that gallery or museum and bought it - or that holiday when you took the photo - or that amazing film or play that you saw that led to you acquiring the poster . . . so, my smallish townhouse has art on every wall, some large (movie poster, and poster-size prints of paintings that I loved in galleries), some small (postcards, many bought as souvenirs) and some actual original art! reflecting different moments in my life. (Heck, I once covered the back of a door with a display of restaurant business cards!) I think I'd advise you to go with the decals option - art can be expensive to buy (and even more expensive to frame) if you are simply looking at it as something decorative to occupy space.

Hi Lachie - I assume you have a built-in wardrobe on the wall where the door is? (where the photos were taken from?). I'd suggest combining some of the elements of the suggestions above, but orientate the bed so that it's facing the door when you walk in, then put your desk under the other window. You can then put the bookshelf on the other side of the desk, which might leave you enough room for a beanbag/comfy chair in the corner for reading? Otherwise, you can put the bookshelf under the floating shelf (not ideal I know). I'd leave the bookshelf upright so that it's taking up less floor space, and get yourself a beside table (preferably one with a drawer and a shelf below for extra storage). A rug would be great for pulling the space together, but you might run into some issues with your desk chair getting caught on it, so you'll need to think about that. But if you do get a rug, I'd try to match it to one of the blues in your bedspread. Maybe also think about getting a new lamp - something in pink to pick that up from the bedspread (and maybe wood instead of metal to bring some texture into the space). As jmm1837 says, some more art on the walls would be good and will help pull the colours together. I see you have a plant there already, what sort is it? Maybe put it in a small wooden or mint green pot and if you get a wide bedside table you could put it on there (which would put it in optimal light under the window). If you want something bigger which is pretty indestructible, you could try a dracaena, next to your desk would make a nice feature. You might want to think about painting the floating shelf too in white? Few other ideas: cushions for your bed; a throw rug; a vignette of glass/vessels for the floating shelf; if you have space (hard to tell) a chest at the end of your bed (as long as that doesn't mean you walk into it coming through the door) for additional storage/seating; and think about a few plants, not just one if you can. In general I'd try to bring some wood elements into the room to make it a bit more homey. Have attached a couple of quick layout possibilities for fun :). Would love to see what you end up doing!

I'd go a paler wood personally. But given the choice of surfmist or dune....surfmist all the way!
