Help My Bedroom!

I am looking for design suggestions to spiff up my orange bedroom. Here is what I am dealing with:

Bedroom Wall 1

Wall 1 – The window blinds are going. They are dirty and smoke stained from the previous tenant. I was just going to replace with the same basic white mini blinds but am open to window treatment suggestions.

The TV has to stay where it is due to the location of the cable wiring. I am fine with that. I was able to find a small table that fits the TV, doesn’t take up too much space and has a small shelf at the bottom that holds a little square DVD player.

Bedroom Wall 2

Wall 2 – sliding glass doors lead out to my wrap around deck. I am planning on designing around the curtains. I don’t really want to replace this particular window/door treatment.

Bedroom Wall 3

Wall 3 – this is the most wall space that I have in this small room. The wall does contain the door into the room but I normally always keep it open. I am planning to hang a mirror that I got from my grandmother’s house over the head of the bed.

I am not attached to the bedspread. It can go. I just picked it up at Target right after I moved in to having something that sort of matched. I didn’t spend a lot because I knew I was going to repaint the room as soon as it warmed up.

Bedroom Wall 4

Wall 4 – this wall houses the closet. You probably noticed I don’t have a dresser in here. My smaller (if you can imagine that!) bedroom has a built in California Closet with a nice dresser so I don’t need one in here. It won’t fit anyway.

Color Palette

Here is a closeup of the drapes to give you a better view of the color palette I want to work with. As you can see I need help! I definately don’t want to use any white since I really like how the trim pops and also I plan on installing a clean white air return grille over the air return above the head of my bed.

I am open to any and all suggestions. Thanks!
