As hatetoshop mentioned , moving the bed to the gap between two window is would be right choice. as in current placement you have windows above your head which does not help for a view and looks odd. you could place double curtain rod or use existing curtain rods and add additional sheer /thin curtains for additional privacy during day as well as light. In future you can add two bedside tables as well and some bedside lamps. In India we are still not used to lower lighting (floor lamps, table lamps with warm day light bulbs) but trust me,it will add new dimension to your bedroom. Also some wall art. example a well framed big size ( 2ft * 3ft) art poster above bed (cheap way to add life (I wont use word "Class" (find it too much)) . Also in future you can think about having a pair of bed sheet (to sleep on ) and bed cover/spread (a good quality cotton one) to cover the mattress during day. And a dhurrie runner would be a good addition as well. All above wont cost too much and maybe little bit investment in quality material can be good as well as u don't have to change these often and can be a long term solution.

Congratulations to all of you. Its a wonderful platform to be on and you all are doing a great Job. My favourite Design Style is 'Minimal'. I just have this strong connection with simple, subtle and elegant things. Cheers:)

I don't have a pic unfortunately. My parents spent a long time in UK and naturally brought home some influences. I still remember the Little Woods book that my mother would go through and take ideas for some of the furniture. And the most important influence of course would be of using wallpaper. All our rooms were wallpapered end to end as well as the ceiling of the living area. And of course her focus on keeping things neatly and beautifully.

I have some suggestions if you are thinking budget friendly changes. Make a photo gallery with different size frames and arrange them parallel to the stairs, so you can enjoy each photo as you climb up. And for the area that will be on a level with your upper floor, try some pretty decal that will connect the photo gallery to upper level. And last, if you have budget add some beautiful hanging lights in the stairwell. Also think about repositioning your refrigerator.
