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

When I first allowed to decorate my room (moving on from the wallpaper covered in woodland animals of my infant bedroom) I chose bright orange walls with green & yellow bedding & curtains, which I loved at the time but in hindsight it was awful. I was luckily able to change it a few years later to a restful pale pink & cream.

I would put the pair of glass candle lamps together on the right side chest and opt for sidelamps with more oomph - something bigger and squat. You could also add other ornaments in different heights grouped together - don't split matching items too symmetrically, balance is key but symmetry may be boring. A geometrically patterned rug or two will look nice alonside the bed and/or at the foot of it. A narrow console unit would look nice beneath the tv; you could go for vintage as your style is very simple. Don't be afraid to dare a little - playing safe is not always the safest!!! Add a comfy reading chair with lampstand and cushions and a footwarmer or plaid on the bed and some more wall art - the heart is a great start but add more. Think layers. You have a great basic palate to funk it up a lot!

Just to let you guys know, I took a combination of advice from this thread and a previous one about my bedroom and tried to add texture. I found lamps similar to the ones you posted Minnie, and I added a textured cushion, a feather light shade, and some frames to be hung above the bed which I'll put black and white pictures in. I think I've made vast improvements (IMHO :) ) but you may think it still needs work. The sun was blazing in the window which had the odd effect of making the room look dull, but it is truly a bright, fresh room most days! I think the footstool is clunky at the end of the bed and I'll probably put it in another room. But I thought I'd show you my progress :) and thank you for all your advice everyone.
