Can you help me make our master bedroom look less tired for house sale??

we are due to list our house in 4 weeks time but I am feeling despairing about our master bedroom. To be honest it’s the room which sold us the house (it has a bay window and a second window so it is really light) and I think it looks ok in the agents’ photo (first pic attached)……but while we have complete redone every other room, this one kind of got left of the list and now it just depresses me and I think it looks bad. I don’t have much time or budget to improve it now alas but I feel like I need it to be much nicer before we let people in!!

what would you do (any ideas for colours/ patterns etc welcome!)?

  • threadbare carpet with underlay near the door worn through
  • cat scratched armchair
  • bedframe which is meant to be intentionally ‘distressed’ but since we painted the room white just looks dirty
  • curtains I bought in a hurry from Dunelm but now I just think are too dark for the room and not sure about the pattern
  • Paint peeling off radiator

I’m lacking vision 😬

Get rid of the curtains altogether - short and dark looks very dated and closes off the beautiful window. Get some cheap linen full length ones. It doesn't matter if they're too long, drapey looks stylish.

Get rid of the armchair, sand and paint the radiator, a lovely big too big bedspread for the bed.
