i have the same bedding so i made my bed like the picture

but are there any other ways to tone down the room and give it that soft dreamy feel?

Answer 1

softer colors and white furniture. Sometthing that would really help a light flowy cutians and a conopy on your bed. *a lace canopy not a heavy velet (or whatever) one*

Answer 2

I would get some lamps that give of a soft light. Also get light flowy curtains and a canopy.

Answer 3

Try painting the furniture a soft ivory color, a bit warmer than a classic white, and try and make the bed the main focus of the room, by using warm blankets, and lots of pillows. Also, try using a warm plush carpet, as well as sheer window treatments.
