You could also bring in some texture with bamboo sticks or decorative branches and help balance a bit the height of your room with small scale furniture. Spray paint them if you find the perfect size and shape but they aren't the color that you need. Ikea carries white decorative stalks for a very good price. the ones in the 1st picture hold well with small kids around and you don't need a vase for them. there are washi paper or crinkly paper floor lamps with a soft beautifully diffused glow For a budget friendly version check ikea or target http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80028552/

Its a really lovely room! what a great place for kids to share. I like kids sharing rooms. I think you need another colour to tie it together. I would suggest a blue tone.... teal, navy blue, duck egg blue. to tie it together. Its a little to pale and looks sparse, but actually isn't. I would leave everything exactly as is, BUT, paint the back wall behind the bed teal and find a simple navy blue wall decal that is fun and kid- like maybe one with a sillouette of a boy and girl playing. I would paint the wall behind the sofa duck egg blue. Then I think it would suit both kids more and look more kid friendly. the blues will balance the pink and cream, but because you have a pale carpet i don't think it will look too dark. don't worry about making it totally kid like, its a room they will grow with, not a kindergarten, and it also needs to peaceful and restful for sleeping. besides with their art on the walls and bright toys everywhere it soon looks bright and kid like. Good luck!

A rug with a horizontal pattern could help along with a false ceiling above in which you can install a line of recessed lights. The tiles and border on the walls suggest that this is a passage in a shared washroom space like a health club. It looks a bit cold for that reason. So hang a lot of warm framed prints to make this space more inviting.

Hi Anindita, You can actually give the foyer with wardrobe a somewhat mud room kind of look. Add a closed shoe-rack right between the door and wardrobe (slim enough to accommodate opening main door and wardrobe door comfortably). Put a vase with paper flowers really bright colored(Orange or yellow) on the shoe-rack. A Ottoman next to it (in bold print) and by a tall plant (like royal/lobster claw plant) on the open end (end facing the living room). The wardrobe doors can be covered with quirky funky posters/decals of anything you like.. fav. rock bands..attitude quotes..wanderlust places..or just color blocking diy on paper. I think you can safely stick paper paintings/posters using two-way tape. Something on the lines of......... On the wall adjacent to wardrobe, add a really nice looking hanging hooks and hang a mix of hats, jhola bags & any quirky art or any hanging indoor planter. Add a area rug (toward the living room) to give some definition and such that it would look all in place when viewed form inside the house. P.S.
