Help with room decor?
You have nice bedding, and it makes your room look retro, so I'd go with an entire retro theme.
Choose pillows for your bed in pale yellow or a crisp white. Choose fabrics that complement your bedding, like smooth silks or those with tiny embroidery. Add a throw blanket to the bottom of your bed for added comfort. Something like a nubby cashmere (although you can find a similar blanket for a lot less) would look great on your bed.
On your floor, a rug that is cleanable and yet still matches your decor is definitely doable. I would suggest a rug like this Yellow area rug or something retro in a shag like this Flokati. It's fluffy, but still durable and very easy to take care of.
Bean Bag chairs are available at WalMart or other home decors, but the best bean bag chair I've ever sat in comes from Pottery Barn. It's a seriously comfortable bean bag, and you'll like sitting in it to read books or watch TV.
It's the accessories that pull a room together, so don't forget about your walls. Hang a message board where you can post pictures, concert tickets, or other mementos. Cover an area of your room with photos in different sizes of frames. Choose a light fixture that is different than the usual types, such as a small chandelier. The little things really make it all work.
