I really do believe it is possible to decorate and furnish a room within a budget. I don't see the point in spending a small fortune when styles, tastes and the function of a room are likely to change. I see it as a challenge to make a room look lovely for less. I am a massive fan of vintage decoration and style but I don't like a lot of clutter so I wanted the room to reflect both of those preferences. We painted the room wide, which allowed us to view to room as a blank canvas and made it appear larger and more light filled. The accent wall was painted a medium/dark toned grey, as a backdrop to display some pictures and art.
One of the things I knew I wanted was a shelf above the bed to hold some of my favourite pieces of art. I had my eye on this ribba shelf from ikea for a while as it has a ledge so that you can display books with pretty covers, art and ornaments. It also means you can change the items on the display when you get bored! Sorted.

The fireplace is the focal point of the room on the opposite side. I scrubbed this to within an inch of it's life, as it had all sorts of grime lurking in the crevices. Then it was painted with a black metal paint and looked much better. I considered putting a mirror above the fireplace, but got freaked out at the idea of seeing my reflection in the black of night.....
