design a bedroom around this headboard...

[kellikans]

I want to go sexy and a bit masculine in our bedroom.  bedding will be all white, bedframe will have a white bedskirt.  I currently have a white painted antique dresser and a white painted Campaign dresser.  nightstands are IKEA Rast hacks that look like this:




those would have to stay.  what would you do in terms of curtains, wall color, rug?  I can't decide if I want to go dark and cozy (I've always wanted a really dark bedroom), or light and bright.

My first thought was keep everything else light (light gray walls, white curtains) so the headboard could pop. But I also think a moody navy would look great. I'm no help. lol

To go sexy, I would add a deep red wall behind the bed, paint the other three walls a caramel tone then add an Oriental rug with white, deep red and caramel tone amongst others.   I'd shop for the Oriental rug first. I'd want billowy sheers surrounded with a rich velvet curtains tied to one side with a gold tassel to tie in the gold handles on the nightstands.

Oooh, I love that headboard. How is the lighting/natural light in the room? I would do dark curtains and a dark or neutral rug, but only if the room has enough light in it.

we have a large bay window that we keep curtains closed on since it faces the street.  we have two other windows on the other wall that I open the curtains on and we still get a decent amount of light.

That headboard is asking for navy.. What's the floor?

we have wood floors with a jute rug.

Navy walls if the lighting can support it, otherwise Navy accent wall behind the headboard and khaki walls OR a khaki accent wall with some fun molding and navy for the other three.

Navy or brown blanket and two small accent pillows that match. I think you will need a rug with more impact and sexy candelabra-esque lamps.

This shows a lot of my thoughts:
