Hi Ellie,

I see you have all the things you love on your walls. A way to feel more "grown-up" would be the way you hang your frames, and which favorites you choose to feature. I actually did the same thing when I moved to the dorms.

First photo: It feels a bit crowded with three doors on the wall. I would suggest taking the doll shelf and pictures. On the other green wall, try switching the place of the two white shelves so the taller piece is in the corner instead of being a center divider of the wall. That will make it feel more spacious. If you'd like, take those 5 photos that were near the door, and put them above the white dresser neatly. Then store your teddy bears in a safe place :)

Second photo: If you keep the bulletin board next to the window, then try moving the large horizontal frame (#2 on the blue wall) on the right side of the window for balance. Can you slide the white cube shelves together to look like one big piece? Then space the rest of your pictures evenly across the wall.

Or...if you want big change, what about moving the bed to the blue wall so you can look out the window from bed?

What do you think? If you want a quick sketch- just let me know!

Remove the brown shade and let natural light in. Get some lamps so that you do not need the overhead lighting...which is very unflattering. Get some soft flowing curtains in a light color.

You have already been given some great advice. Painting the room would make it a bit more grown up but for starters some small changes can also make a big impact to the room.

Cleaning up the room and using boxes for storrage would make the room more calm.

I would also suggest movining the bed to the back blue wall. add some new bedding and remove toys. I would hang some wide wall/to/wall shelves above the bed for storrage and maybe hang the guitar on wall as well, and hang the frames lined under the lower shelf. Hang pictures beside each other or above eachother.

Bring in some natruel light. Place the hight bookshelf on the wall with the window so the things on display does not get faded in the sun.

If all the storrage furnitures are not in use, make room for a nice side table and a comfortable chair.

Bring in some more updated lighting and some comfortable pillow.
