You can move the bed 50 cms off the wall and create a shelving but do NOT fill it with objects. Keep it symmetrical when decorating. Alternatively, you can make it open towards the window to store your linen or other items instead of leaving it exclusively as a shelving. Secondly, to make it cozier, I would re paint the walls in a warm color such as Burgundy and fit curtains in burgundy and gold colors in front of the window. The bottom wallpaper can be replaced with likewise design in silver/grey or black/gold (prominent color being the first one) Bed cover and pillows to blend with the wall and wallpaper colors you choose. That will make it cozier to start with. You will then need adequate light to compensate the dark colors. Ideally smaller lights spread evenly over the ceiling or square lights and two neat lamps on either side of the shelving over the bed. (Can also be fitted onto the wall - Set them out evenly) A nice rug just in front of your bed will give you more of a cozy ambient and give you more warmth to the room. The colors themselves will match your bed, then you can do without the basket in front of the bed. Last, set your room evenly. If you wish to use the painting you already have, move it by the bed and put up another one on the opposite wall and fit a mirror instead of the where you currently have your painting. Move the cupboard opposite the painting, opposite to where you will have your mirror and you have a perfectly symmetrical and cozy room.... I hope my ideas are of help to you. Feel free to contact me should you need anything or explanations... Liam

Looking at the brickwork it certainly hasn’t been built by a proper builder. Sorry to be negative but it looks like a DIY nightmare. I doubt it’s even got proper footings. I think your best bet is to remove it and re-build. Not what you want to hear I know and I know you’re on a tight budget, but you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear. I’m sorry.

If you’ve glued and screwed them you’ve done what you can. The problem has probably occured because when they were initially fitted they didn’t glue them down so perhaps the problem has escalated from there.

As Sarah said. However if you could stretch the budget and get a plasterer to get rid of the stipple effect walls as well by skimming the walls it would look so much better. Plasterers charge £250 - £400 a day, depending on where you live.
