Of all the things I see in your room, I like the art deco bureau the best. I would work with that. Empty the room of everthing else, except the mattress. Replace the bed with a simple frame. Get a new duvet. Paint the wall white. Lower the painting of the girl directly over the head of the bed. Lower the chandy, too and add black shades. Get a frameless round mirror just like in this picture.

Problem is is that I am not ab,e to have curtains that drop to the floor because of my bed obstructing it. Also what kind of ceiling light would I install? I want the space to look airy and light and modern.

Chinese Daybed from the Ming Dynasty Daybeds are used as beds as well as for lounging, reclining and seating in common rooms. Their frames can be made out of wood, metal or a combination of wood and metal. They are a cross between chaise longue, couch and a bed. Daybeds typically feature a back and sides and come in Twin Size (39 in × 75 in = 99 cm × 191 cm). Often daybeds will also feature a trundle to expand sleeping capacity. Contents Modern daybeds See also References Modern daybedsEdit Many of today's daybeds employ a linkspring as the support system for the mattress. The linkspring is a rectangular metal frame (roughly the footprint of the mattress) with cross supports. A wire or polyester / nylon mesh held in place by a network of springs lies across the top of the linkspring. The linkspring design provides support and creates clearance underneath a daybed for storage. There are two categories of modern daybeds, indoor and outdoor. Daybeds can be hanging or stable, outdoor day beds usually have a roof like structure to protect from sunlight whereas indoor daybeds are simple. Infant beds can be converted into a daybed by the removal of one side.

I'd put the day bed in the opposite corner behind the door going lengthwise to the window. The day bed will be too high for the low window and may look odd. Plus, i think the change will allow for better wardrobe and drawer space. As it is going to double up as a guest bedroom, do you really want all of your stuff on show with open shelving? I'd maybe try the Ikea Pax system, easy to buy what you want and fairly easy to construct, but i would have doors. You have to decide between walk in wardrobe or bedroom with wardrobes. Alternatively, maybe consider a high bed with wardrobes and storage underneath with extra on the other walls. By having something purpose built it will allow for more versatility and more floor space. They certainly don't have to be childlike these days. I'd post dimensions if i were you,
