i have different bed spreads, and i have no spread to put over it during the day and wouldnt know where to go with it during the night. We have shoe boxes in the UK instead of homes unfortunately so I dont have much room to play with. Thank you for everyone's feedback, I am not keeping these curtains, but just not too sure what color to go with, will play around in photoshop and see what fits. My partner doesnt want grey as headboard but she loves the distressed look though which im really happy about! Changing my whole room would be more expensive, i dont have any money atm and will only do all that next summer... thanks again!

Yes, usually my accent wall is wall papered, first time in a long time not papered as I do like patterns and shapes. I am starting bedroom project tomorrow, think I am decided on the colour of the walls, and the brass look, just hundred things running through my mind on how to tie it in all together now, so concentrating on what to do with the curtains and bedspread. I usually go for bedding that is striking and vivid, as I love a good bed (I did say don't take notice of my bedroom at the moment, it is thrown together and looks awful) curtains always scare me on what to do there, so I usually just go for one colour. But please, any ideas, are greatly wanted and appreciated. So when you say a purple drape, are you saying on for the curtains? I really want to try and experiment there, but, as said, they always scare me lol

You can move the bed 50 cms off the wall and create a shelving but do NOT fill it with objects. Keep it symmetrical when decorating. Alternatively, you can make it open towards the window to store your linen or other items instead of leaving it exclusively as a shelving. Secondly, to make it cozier, I would re paint the walls in a warm color such as Burgundy and fit curtains in burgundy and gold colors in front of the window. The bottom wallpaper can be replaced with likewise design in silver/grey or black/gold (prominent color being the first one) Bed cover and pillows to blend with the wall and wallpaper colors you choose. That will make it cozier to start with. You will then need adequate light to compensate the dark colors. Ideally smaller lights spread evenly over the ceiling or square lights and two neat lamps on either side of the shelving over the bed. (Can also be fitted onto the wall - Set them out evenly) A nice rug just in front of your bed will give you more of a cozy ambient and give you more warmth to the room. The colors themselves will match your bed, then you can do without the basket in front of the bed. Last, set your room evenly. If you wish to use the painting you already have, move it by the bed and put up another one on the opposite wall and fit a mirror instead of the where you currently have your painting. Move the cupboard opposite the painting, opposite to where you will have your mirror and you have a perfectly symmetrical and cozy room.... I hope my ideas are of help to you. Feel free to contact me should you need anything or explanations... Liam

This is easy, pick a lavender two shades lighter than in the bed spread, add curtains hung high and wide to the window with Roman shaded underneath , add mirrors to cabinet doors, get a large rug for under the bed. Larger is better...add texture and layers with throw pillows , rug and throws for coziness, adding a pretty chandelier will help too, organize and clean up desk area, taller lamps with some glass or mirror accents
