here are a few examples...

I agree, the lamp is too small but the room is nice and I don't think you will need anything over the headboard.

The room needs some color - you can easily add some pillows and a rug to do that. I like the sheer valance - very soft, vintage feel. Silhouettes would be a great addition - maybe not over the bed but on the side wall. Agree the lamp is too small. Try to find a bigger shade if you can - works for a budget so you don't have to buy an entire new lamp. You may also need a taller nightstand - looks short in this picture. Let us know what you decide!

Shade won't do it -- it's not actually high enough to use for reading!

Agree with others on nothing over headboard, but put art on the wall to the left. Cute room!

Thanks all!

The low side table is actually a decoy for a litter box, unfortunately, it must stay for the time being. I thought about getting a vintage suitcase or two to stack up (b/c I do agree it's way too short), just to provide some balance with the bed, but I can't decide. It just seems impractical.

I've ordered three silhouettes to hang on the wall to the left as recommended.

I've also ordered long white, sheer curtains. Unfortunately, the curtains currently in use are falling apart.

Thoughts on pops of color? I will admit (per the picture above), I'm pretty plain Jane. I'm not big into patterns or bright colors, so it's tough for me to committ there. If you have pictures, it helps me! haha!

You guys are great!

You could paint your walls or get new colorful throw pillows. Perhaps a long shorter piece of art would work. If you see reviews someone placed this horizontally above Their bed

I really like the headboard you are getting. I think the room could use a pop of color, maybe yellow. Check out these cute feather throw pillows. They have a simple design and you can go with neutral colors or something a little more bold.

Ohhh I love where you are heading with this room design!

Might I suggest some architectural salvage pieces?

Perhaps distressed exterior shutters over the bed

or old tin ceiling tiles?

Or perhaps DIY palettes. These are easy and LOOK how awesome they look!

Instead of repainting, what about a painting over the bed? Depending on your taste, look for art work with grays, whites, and green or blues--something dreamlike or abstract. Then add a couple pillows in a color from the art.

It occurs to me that the reason you do not have color is you are not a person who requires a lot of color. I think it would be enough if you replaced the black pillow with one in a soft color and perhaps used that same color in some art for the left hand side of the window.

3/4 of the artwork suggested are far too contemporary 1930's bungalow. The first piece would lovely.

Perhaps wood blinds, 2-3" slats to match the trim. May not need anything over the headboard, but silhouettes sound lovely. Colorful throw pillows.

Some smaller, more representational art. Frame in gold leaf.
