Lamp Jewel

Pls help me to figure out my fantasy Moroccan bedroom decor and be able to pull it off?

Since my husband has picked out most of the decor in our house (to my dismay because we have different tastes) he says I can decorate the bedroom.
I love jewel colors and most of the stuff I see online costs so much! Do you have any ideas for how I can decorate my bedroom? So far, I want to paint the wall a cranberry type of red, and I have a gold bedspread. I also purchased this lamp, but I don’t know what to do to tie it all together…

If you have access to any import stores, go there and find one fabric item that has lots of colors in it and that you can use as a throw across the foot of your bed. Do you have a headboard? If not, buy a screen or room divider from this same type of store; it should be dark and heavily carved. If you can’t do this, wall art of metal or carved wood can be placed above your bed to make it look like you have a headboard. Pick out a color from the patterned fabric you found and get curtain panels that go with it – shiny and/or textured panels are needed. Put curtain rods on the ceiling at the head of your bed or parallel with the bed at the head of it and hang the curtains on them; pull these panels to the wall at the head of the bed and hold them with a richly colored large tassel; these are found at Tuesday Morning or fabric stores or any place that sells curtain accessories. Add brass lamps or candlesticks to the room. Basically, dark rich colors, shiny stuff, patterned items in rich tones, and you’re well on your way to having the room you want. Window treatments should add yet another color/pattern/texture, and consider bead trims, etc.
