mirrors are simple, yet effective ways to make your space feel larger than it really is. An added bonus to the illusion is the practicality of mirrors. What mirror have you walked by that you don’t want to check out how you look? Mirrors help your space, and help you create a look that no longer feels cramped and now feels personalized and yours! i think mirrors will be better and there is unlimited choices framed or not decorative or colored it depnds on you

I would fill in the hole........

The room has exquisite bones: the windows, flooring and decorative crown molding. If simplicity is what you want but with a bit more personal taste, I suggest the following: 1) paint the walls white that has a soft, warm undertone such as Benjamin and Moore's moonlight white or Dove. (Or try any good paint store for help on picking the right white color.) Paint the molding a stark white with an egg shell or gloss finish. 2) keep the bed covering as is. I love the warm colors and mixed patterns. If you do want more comfort, yes add a thicker mattress. Can you get a fabric similar for the table top? Or just remove the fabric from the table top, painting or stenciling it with a similar pattern. (see #5 below for where to look for stencils.) 3) Move the table to the head of the bed, add a modern lamp and lots of books or other meaningful, personal items. 4) Add a comfy chair or as suggested above, pile lush floor pillows where the table is, under the window. Use complementing or solid color fabric on the floor pillows or chair. Add a small table with more lighting. (See my most popular post on Floor Pillows. Towards the end you will see examples of suitable floor pillows. Or just do a search here on Houzz and the internet.) 5) Make a dramatic statement above the bed with a very large painting. Select with care based upon your personal taste: abstract, minimal but with a hint or some of the colors found in the bedding fabric. It doesn't have to be centered, a little off centered will do since there appears to already be something on the wall above the bed. Do add a soft art lamp above the painting. (If you don't have money for the painting, purchase a very large canvas, take your time and create it yourself (collage it, play around with paint on paper before adding it to your canvas, stencil it, etc.--but have fun and make it personal) Here's a great place for getting a wide range of designs for stenciling: Cutting Edge Stencils. Note you don't have to take the design all the way to the edge of the canvas! 6) Add a small (wool) flokati rug in front of the bed. Get the kind that comes from Greece, it has long-fibers and a plush pile. These rugs are to die for when it comes to comfort and texture--and they're inexpensive. Take a look and if you like it, be sure to get wool: Flokati Rug.Net. These ideas will give you lots of varying textures to get rid of the boredom; contrasting colors for depth and drama; play up the wonderful architectural elements already found in the room; personalize it with what you love; and still, keep it simple and beautiful. Use soft lighting. Good luck!

Why not paint it in a pastel colour? Add a carved chest that doubles up as shoe rack and organiser to store your shoes below and hold keys and bills in top drawers. You could hang a painting or a statement mirror above the chest and highlight with wall sconces or beautiful table lamps to shine a soft light around it.
