So I'm in need of refurnishing my room within reasonable levels. Right now it just simply isn't as "inviting" and "productive" to me. I'd like for it to be a great place for me to relax, work on stuff on my computer, play games, and etc.
Currently I'm living off my old hand-me-downs from when I was a kid and it's done the job but I think I'm ready to upgrade my furnishings and perhaps add a bit of life to my room so it's a place I can be more comfortable in for myself and others who might hang out in the future there. Thing is, space is restricted so I feel like I don't have a lot of options.
Here is the room from the door perspective:
Here is an overview of the room once inside and a view of the desk I am looking to replace:
Here is a secondary view of the room from the perspective of the bed:
And here is the current rough layout of the room:
Orange = moveable/replaceable furniture
Brown = stuff I can't move (door, closet, window).
Note that the light switch controls the outlet located at the top left portion of the room so obviously whatever is there must be the main light source (therefore I cannot have the bed or any new computer desk located there).
Also I'd REALLY prefer to not have the computer be in the bottom left or top left sides of the room, due to privacy and space purposes.
The closet to the right also presents a problem... I can't really have anything there that will block my closet.
I though about moving it so the desk was located between the door and the closet, with the monitor facing twoards the window (I'd definatly need to get curtains though). Then behind the computer chair I'd maybe put in a loveseat or a comfortable chair to sit in in which to read/etc.
I'm thinking of completely axeing my dresser. I never use it, and I think it would be more useful to have a shelf of some sort there instead, with the laundry/clothes "neatly" organized in bins or something on the bottom half of the shelf.
So does anyone have any input?
What desks should I use? I love the look of L shaped desks but I simply don't have the corner space to support such a desk. Would one work out between my closet and my door with it facing twoards the window? I want a desk that is slightly more compact than my hand-me-down desk I currently use, but I don't want it so small I can't fit my large keyboard and my mouse on.
Any ideas for other furniture, shelving, etc? Anything else (such as wall decor, etc)?
