can you move bed under window and desk under cork board? or situate them both on that same wall? I can't tell if you have the room for it or not.

the bed has pull out drawers on both sides? any way you could do w/out accessing one side? if you push the bed up against the wall to the right?

hi, thank you for ur suggestions! moving the bed under the window would block the vent and I'd rather not do that. Pushing the bed against the wall would be my last option, and I think the best one, although I would be kinda sad to lose that storage. What do u think about putting the bed against the blank wall and maybe doing an accent wall there?

try moving the bed there and take a pic. you're there in person so it's easier for you to know how it looks. hard to tell from a pic.

take a look at some bedroom pics w/accents walls first. you have a small room, so if you do one, the other walls should be very light or white. for instance, I love the black wall w/white the white. using a mirror on the wall like this will also give the illusion of more space, since it bounces light and reflects the room.

what you're doing is expanding lengthwise, so your room doesn't look so cramped.

these are actually quite simple to do yourself, using a variety of woods.

even utilizing the corner, like this, would give you extra room

This room was done in this dark Purple/black called Shadow, by BM Paints. love it

see if you can install a ceiling light. better lighting and frees up the corner. even doing wall sconces would be an upgrade.
