Use neutral cream paint that will contrast with the red-orange undertones of the wood floors without clashing. A dresser in the alcove and large, narrow shelves on the bumped-out portion of the wall make use of awkward spaces. A textured rug with a high, woven pile and a bold pattern is eye-catching and comfortable for walking (or crawling) on. Pendant lights draw the eyes up and leave the nightstand tops open for books and other items. Horizontal lines in the area rug, juxtaposed with vertical lines in the art over the bed and other pieces in the room, add interest to the design.
