Well - I've come up with a number of ideas now. I'm thinking of moving the bed to the right hand side of the room, leaving space for a small chest of drawers next to it on the left where I can have a small lamp. I'm going to test the idea of having a long painting/mirror hanging over the chest to see what it looks like. I think it could look really cute!

I'll get a standard lamp for the other end of the room and get rid of the ceiling lamp completely - I feel it emphasizes the low ceiling.

Color-scheme-wise. I'm going to go for a nice warm rich cream for the walls. I found some lovely wallpaper with very subtle butterflies on a cream background. I think I'll cover the deep purple with that - I like the way there is a feature wall in the room - will just tone it down to a rich/warm neutral color.

Otherwise - long, sumptuous drapes on the bay window (which will be emphasized now that the bed is pushed over to the right). Also I found a nice bench on wheels for not too expensive (thank you Ikea). I measured and it will fit at the end of the bed and is just short enough to make sure the rosette features at the bottom of the bed are still visible.

I think I have me a plan. Thank you guys - much appreciated... Any other thoughts and suggestions on my plan so far?
