Keep it simple
It is always nice to wake up to a view outside your windows, so if
you have something lovely to look at, place your bed to take advantage
of it. Next, consider all the practical things you need in the bedroom:
bedside tables and lighting, a dresser or armoire to store clothing,
and a chair or bench. Although it isn’t necessary for the furniture
finishes to match, I do like the look of soft neutral wall colors,
matching lamps on side tables and linens in natural fibers. Save pops
of color for decorative pillows or throws; even the art can add a little
zing to the space, but keep it simple. I also like to have a rug near
the bed for warmth and softness underfoot.
