1] suggest three main functions of your room -
a] sleep - bed, nightstand
b] dressing - closet, dresser
c] studying - desk, shelves, file drawer or cabinet, desk chair
d] fun! TV, music, entertainment armoire
2] pick three favorite colors - say, pink, green, blue
3] get bedding in a print of flowers, stripes, dots, geometric shapes in the pink-green-blue colors.
4] paint the walls the color you like the best - say, pink
5] get curtains and throw pillows to match the bedding
6] do carpet or rug in second favorite color - say, green
7] get a loveseat, chair, and ottoman in blue pinstripe [ or pink, or green ]
8] get several sets of lamps - one for bedside, one for desk, one for chair, and one for dresser; could get two floor lamps for desk and chair, and two table lamps for bed and dresser
9] all other small accessories [ vase, candles, flowerpot, ornaments, etc. ] should be in pink, green, or blue.
10] frame all artwork in similar colors and material - oak/walnut, brass/chrome, colored enamels.
11] add a plant or flower - even a silk one
12] make a floral wreath or swag with eucalyptus wreath, room color flowers, and hang above dresser or wherever there is a blank spot
ORGANIZATION:
1] throw away/donate/give away/store all clothes that are too small, too big, too ugly, or ragged [ toss ]
2] go thru books, toys, games, old school or artwork, etc.
3] get two underbed storage chests for bed
4] get shelf dividers for closet - first section for winter hats, gloves, scarves; second for sweaters, long sleeve Ts, and henleys; third for handags, filed on bottoms like books; and fourth for summer hats, totes, sunglasses, etc.
5] shoe rack or racks on bottom - winter boots; closed toe shoes; athletic shoes; summer sandals, slides, open toes.
Put dressiest shoes in back, and plainer ones in front of each section.
6] Keep one big shoebox for your flip flop collection.
7] suggest you put bed in a corner directly across from closet, with dresser in between. All your closet, dresser, and underbed stuff will be together. Get a cosmetic organizer or toolbox or tacklebox for makeup, etc. Toss what you don't need.
8] another corner for desk, desk chair, file cabinet, shelves
Make a L-shaped arrangement with shelves on one side of desk and cabinet on other. File stuff from finished courses you may need another time for background. All completed assignments should immediately be placed in the folder or notebook, and replaced in bag or backpack.[ I used to use folders that matched the textbook colors if possible. ]
9] an entertainment armoire would be great - put TV and music system in it, and have a drawer for DVDs, and one for CDs. Get an old foot locker or trunk for extra storage, and use as a table for sitting area.
