So, a long and thin room! Some tips for making it appear wider is to paint the two short walls a dark colour to create an illusion of width! Horizontal stripes can also help, whether it's on the carpet or curtains/blinds. Lighter floor surfaces will help make it appear wider too. Hope this helps! Good luck

A rhetorical question: Will you be fed up with the striped wall paper in about one year from now? Sometimes, seeing something for the first few times because you like the look of it seems interesting, however, it can wear thin very quickly if it's not something you have a love for or sentimental to you in some way. If you can answer this question quite definitively early on, then you will know whether to strip down the room and redecorate before you settle in completely and everything is in place. If not, then it's just going to be a headache later on when you should be settled and enjoying life!

There will be others here with useful advice (I'm not 'qualified' for that), but I like the bedside drawers you have. I feel they would look even better if you leave some space between the sides of the bed and the drawers. So pull them both away from the bed (sideways) some 10 - 15 cm.

Can you post a layout , include where the window & door and also the radiator, which looks not to be under the window ( not helping ). Also, as you are keeping the furniture, could you include the sizes of those pieces too. I think Hague blue will look great, really restful in a bedroom too. Maybe you could change the handles on the furniture for slightly more old fashioned ones to tie in with the bed also.

Hi Nicola, Your welcome! Those dimensions are great. It could be a very spacious room. Don't be put off by the work. If you divide it up into small steps they can easily be tackled one at a time. STEP 1. I think the first step would be to declutter. There are too many things in the room. Do all these things belong to you? If so, are they all necessary? Do you really need two dining chairs in your bedroom : ) ? Can the decorations on top of the wardrobe go in the loft? I'm guessing they are only used once a year? STEP 2. Decide what things need to be on show and what things can be hidden away. Is the wardrobe floor empty? If so could the red suitcase go inside the wardrobe? Can some of the items on top of the wardrobe go under the bed? If you can't get rid of the chairs could they be stacked on top of each other? If the folders/books can't be put away, can they be put in some nice boxes and then back on the shelf? etc etc. STEP 3. Consider turning the desk 90 degrees and then move it to next to the door, that way you can watch TV from your bed! It also means you can turn the bed 90 degrees as I suggested before. The chair will still have space to manoeuvre. If the bike can't be put away I would put it where the desk currently is, right up against the wall and then just pull it out when its being used. STEP 4. Paint the back wall behind the bed. If painting is not an option i.e. its a rented room then search the internet for peel and stick reusable wallpaper. There are lots of options to choose from. Buy some small bedside tables and lamps. If you are on a tight budget you could use those two dining room chairs either side of the bed! STEP 5. Decorate with artwork that means something to you. Bring in a few plants to bring life into the room. Of course there are always more things you can do but I believe you mentioned you are only looking to rearrange the furniture.
