Bedroom Decor Inspiration

Do you ever sit in a room and just think "Meh"?  That's how I feel in my bedroom every day.  I haven't spent the time or money to really make it look nice, nor do I know what I want since my tastes change every time I fall in love with a new photo on the internets.

Here's where you come in:  I need help deciding what to do based on the fact that I have black furniture and a gray upholstered headboard that must stay in the room, and very pale gray walls I don't feel like painting again.  What do you think of these options?

I could add some sort of trim to my headboard, and go for really crisp white bedding.  I already own similar lamps, but I don't think a bright bolster would be on the bed that often because I am lazy and rarely make it. (i'm keepin it real)

I love the eclectic, worn in feel of this room and it isn't a big departure from my living room.  However, I don't have room for any sort of bench and cannot hang symmetrical artwork beside the bed because our window is not centered.

I also love the idea of bringing in some sort of large, colorful art and more pattern on the curtains.

The idea of adding orange to my gray and black is tempting, but I'm afraid it would look like Halloween in the room.  I would also be scared to invest in a horse photo.  But I love this room anyway.

I could also recover my headboard with a print, and bring in more color with curtains and new lamps.  But I fear that I'd have trouble committing to a print like that.

I love the idea of introducing a crazy rug and pillows for a global inspired theme, but it may be too much in a small room.

This room is the smallest leap from what I've currently got going, but obviously much more polished and spacious.  I could introduce some animal print and cream, but it just doesn't excite me.

I could also rig some curtains to span the wall behind my bed and camouflage the offset window, and introduce pattern on the bed or headboard.

As you can see, I'm all over the map!  What pictures look the most attainable and timeless to you?  Keep in mind my budget is small and I have two dogs (they don't sleep with me, but white bedding shows weiner dog hair). 

I hope all of you have a happy weekend!  And if you haven't already, share a link to your own Pinterest boards here and I'll publish a list of Pinteresting people next week!
