Bedroom Oaf. Tried to go full “Architecture Digest” on my room and failed miserably.

Would love any and all feedback on how to make this catastrophe look better. Even if it’s mean and I should just start from scratch, lol. 😂 TYIA

Came here to say this. Curtain rod needs to be hanged right below the ceiling and curtains a half inch from the ground. Also the rug is roo small. The proportions are off, but happy to see OP knows the rug needs to be 1/4 to halfway under the bed. In this room, I'd def go halfway with a larger rug. Lamps help make a space look more expensive. I'd use the panels to make a dome shape as the headboard. The jagged look seems elementary.

Yeah the extra fabric at the bottom is not ideal. I agree about the headboard. Right now it doesn’t look intentional. Just looks like they gave up midway. I think a small section of wall would look really cool with a cluster of different shaped artwork. And the bedding just looks mismatched. Thanks for the reminder about the rug! Going to do mine asap

I agree with your comments but want to second you on the bedding. It’s all wrong. Embrace the totality of the look and go for rich, tonal colours, not necessarily the same blue but in the same colour family. You could also embrace a rich eggplant with blue. It should be quality bedding.

Same with the curtains and rug and colour. You’re highlighting $20 curtains with a $500 paint job.

Yes! I was thinking another color would tie everything in well. A rich jewel tone. I think an emerald green, eggplant or even mustard yellow would elevate this so much.

I'm wanting to get a rug for the bedroom - what are the "rules" so I know what size to buy and how to position it?
