Looking at the picture it seems you live in either India or Pakistan. The flooring sort of reminded me of it. First off I would decide what pieces are to keep and what can be replaced. If you aren't thinking of replacing - I would suggest to spray paint them in black, which would make them new. Change the hardware on them to silver. Paint the walls a nice light gray. Bring in a bold graphic (geometric patterned) in your window treamtments and hang them higher closer to the ceiling to bring in an illusiuon of height.. The window treatments can be pulled from your throw pillows. If the room is on the smaller side I would bring in a darker shade of gray in horizontal band which would make the room look bigger. I would bring in crisp white sheets on the bed and bring some throw pillows in either reds, yellows blues and greens or a combination. You can have beautiful throw bringing in a beautiful ethnic touch with embroidery or mirror work done on it. You can paint the cupboard doors in white. I hope this helped.

Hi Ni, I just thought of something....did you say you planned to do the stencil motifs on the window wall? If so, I am thinking they will be mostly hidden by the curtains. I wonder if it might be better to stencil the long wall that is on the right side of the room when looking toward the window. I could see this being a pretty backdrop to the prayer box (I think that’s what you called it?) and your wood cuttings. Then maybe the opposite wall (the one with the kitchen doorway) could hold a large piece of art?

I like the room but it looks a bit empty. Possibly some contemporary low interesting cabinet on either side of the fireplace some organic baskets or metal vessels of some sort on top of the cabinets. It will fill in the bareness between cabinet and sconces. Roll down textured shades at the windows would add a nice fill in touch and add privacy and block light. Or simple linen floor to ceiling curtains on rods at ceiling height. Here are three rooms with free standing cabinets and long curtains at the windows. You might like these ideas for not. Art work could be under the scones with lamp for ambient lighting Again simeple cabinets and surprise, a TV stand too. This is a lovely idea too with the twigs; could change seasonally. I like the benches for warmth and texture and softness and the chandelier adds a dramatic touch. Good luck with your lovely room!

I would look for pillows with lots of texture in the same colors as the patterned ones you already have.
