I’m not sure about that brick wall. It looks like the outside of some post-Tito era shed.

I would stub the ever-living fuck out of my pinky toe on the bed frame.

I don’t see any form of window treatment. Exterior shutters, perhaps?
This is a very cold, hard-edged bedroom. The large bed and very small end tables say “get in bed, get your sleep, and get out”. It’s very bright, but to me it isn’t inviting and it doesn’t say “I’m looking forward to relaxing here”.
I understand the practicality of sliding doors given the limited space, but barn doors in a bedroom are just that. Barn doors. I don’t like sleeping with the cow, personally.
You might not have gotten to it yet, but a bit of art, especially above the headboard, would help in humanizing this space a lot.
A final point on lighting. Can down lights in bedrooms are not generally a good idea. They give a stark lighting and unflattering lighting and shadow on your bedmate. Uplights via sconces, or general lighting like a shaded floor lamp or bedside lamps are a more pleasant and welcoming way to help light your bedroom.
All that said, you’ve created a coherent, well planned aesthetic. If you are comfortable there then you’ve succeeded.
