    Hi. Everything is lovely but there's very little contrast. If you don't want to change the light I'd stick with the colours you have. Is the bedding white? Add a textured or patterned throw to the bed in a shade of taupe (?) to match the stripe in the blinds (which look great!). Then add 4 cushions, 2 patterned and 2 plain slightly darker taupe but in a different texture. Add table lamps taller than the bed with a soft white shade and accessorise with candles, photo frame etc. 1/2/3 pieces of art over the bed perhaps in a black/dark frame but it needs to be very thin. Maybe add a glass vase of faux stems off centre on the window furthest from the bed. I think if you just focus on pattern, different textures and shade it will look great. I might also paint the rad in the wall colour and budget allowing and if it fits add a chair in the corner by the window with dark wood legs to match the bed. You could also add a patterned rug, something similar in colour to the carpet with an off white pattern.

      It looks like you are missing some accessories there? Some lamps, wall art and maybe a new light fitting would make all the difference in this space.

      Alternatively try another layer on the windows by adding some floor length sheer curtains and a throw on the bed.

      By adding layers to your design you will add depth and interest and the scheme can come to life.

      Good luck and keep us posted. If you need any further help feel free to drop us a message.

      Thank you all so much for the advise. This is where I have got to. I have bought some white voiles but still undecided whether to use them?
      I will get a chair to go in the space by the first window when budget allows.

      I am now wondering what I could do to the wall in between the windows, it looks a bit bare...

      Wow that was quick! It looks lovely. I don't think voiles would hang properly with the bedside cabinet and they would be changing the look of the room IMO. Perhaps a mirror between the windows? I still think faux flowers would look lovely somewhere and perhaps a small lidded candle from where you got your throw :)

      Looks really nice but perhaps you need an injection of colour? You could select a colour you like and then perhaps use it in the blinds and on the cushions on the bed. Pull the whole look together with a rug at the end of the bed. Perhaps a mustard or terracotta shade would work.

      Hi saoriseduvivie,

      Just reading up on your dilemma, my first instinctive thoughts are to put a sculptured piece of art or a bespoke piece of artwork between the two windows, something in harmony with the colour theme and something with texture difference or the illusion of texture.

      All the best with whatever you decide to do.

      Hi saoriseduvivie,

      Although some one has neutralised this room

      My idea would be to change the radiator to an upright glass panel radiator, one it would get rid of the standard radiator and it will also make it a great feature to the room, then that should leave you with the ability to dress the room with a more vibrant colour, that would then be easily changeable if you have a change of heart in a few years. IE feature colour or paper to end wall with new bed spread and a great feature light fitting ETC

      or you could install French doors to left hand window and create a Juliet balcony to let more light in to the room !

      Good luck with your project

      Hi saoirseduvivie,

      I would recommend adding a bright original painting to add some colour into your spare room.

      I have enclosed some examples of what I feel might work.

      Let me know if you have any questions or need any further help.

      Many thanks,

      Summer

      Hi

      The room is very angular a rectangle room with clean cut lines and clean plain flat tones. I look at this room and keep thinking beach . It looks a very calm room so gives me the impression of somewhere to retreat to after a day at the beach. Obviously that would not be the case but how exciting to bring the beach to this room. A nice relaxing view of the beach a total paradise room. If a big mural is too much then you could use the idea almost like a watercolour wash that flows past the windows ( not painting the windows) or use the colour theme blues and yellows with a stylistic curve line or simply find a piece of artwork in these colours and place between the windows. I would also consider adding a couple of accessories in these colours maybe cushions and even a swag voile which goes over both the 2 windows with the capacity to dip in between the 2. You could even have a radiator cover or shelf where you could place a nice vase and inject some colour with a large statement bouquet of flowers. If you want to keep the room more subtle ( without a splash of colour then i would echo the colour and texture of the bed throw you could find a nice wallpaper like a damask styling or something with a metallic tone and cut out something or collage several pieces frame it to make your own unique wall art.

      These are some ways I can see the room developing I hope I've given some inspiration to you

      I hope you find the right solution for yourself good luck and look forward to seeing pictures of the finished room.

      Enjoy

      Regards Marie.

      Just a few accessories and large cushions with A beautiful colourful painting above the bed would complete the room nicely. Take a look at http://www.kusum.me/ for ready-to-hang one-off original hand painted artwork or email me for bespoke artwork to suit your requirements.

      I think I think you need a big, fabulous mirror on the wall between the windows at it will give the illusion of extra width to the room. Why not find one in a charity shop or auction and paint it in a slightly darker colour for a bit of contrast? I've found Autentico chalk paints work really well and are easier to work with than Annie Sloane (which is important for someone like me who's a bit useless with a paint brush!). Otherwise it looks lovely now you've added some finishing touches!

      Wow, what a transformation by adding those small touches, great
      job you!

      I would try and go for
      the voiles if it can work with the bedsides. It will soften the space, give a
      warmer and more welcoming feel which is important for a bedroom, and if they
      are floor length it will make the room feel taller and grander which I think would
      really help the space. If you are not comfortable or in doubt then obviously do
      what feels right to you. You could find a temporary way of hanging them for a
      few days and see how you feel about them before you make a decision.

      You definitely need
      something between the windows. The mirror up-cycle is a great idea and would
      help make the space feel a little lighter. Being lit from both sides by the
      windows and the lighting above means you should also get a fairly good image
      back too!.. Also important in a bedroom.

      Alternatively I would
      go for a piece of art work in the space. A bedroom is a personal space where
      you need to feel comfortable and relaxed so take your time and get a piece that
      really speaks to you rather than trying to match it to anything particular.

      Well done again and I
      look forward to seeing the final room.

      I agree. Art or a completely over the top opulent mirror

      What about putting on a radiator cover this will give a slim shelf to put a mirror on, would be useful.

      Agreed about artwork fitted to the space between the windows. You seem to have some framed photographs at the back, so perhaps large scale photograph would be a great addition in terms of design and colour.

      PM if you would like some suggestions.

      With best wishes
