My coworker came over last night to give me some decorating advise. She was very good actually. She mentioned that large-small-large-small furniture or art heights help the sight/vision flow around the room.

Here are her suggestions::

Velvet fabric with piping for the ottoman (could do orange/hotpink piping)
Foot of the bed, narrow console/sofa table
Art grouping over bed using favorite picture and 3 smaller matching frames
Good store for cheap small orchids
Curtains around the bed and fabric to make a lowered ceiling (mirroring the sofa nook ceiling)
Shades that pull up from the bottom (to block view but let in light at top) LOVE this idea!! And found a good DIY article using small tension rods and fabric!
