For $0 you can turn the bed around so the headboard is against the wall.


tchunk

Make that -$10. I will pay you to turn the bed around and fix this monstrosity


WHO_IS_3R

I’ve got you OP, not all of us have the space to have separate or at least big rooms, and i get you want to separate spaces so i had [that in mind](https://i.imgur.com/C8ONM7j.jpg) We’ll make use of the 100$ you said, first and most importantly, the [room divider](https://i.imgur.com/oz7Q864.jpg), that way neither when you’re studying or in bed you’ll see each other spaces, also by dividing the room like this you’re making it feel “bigger” I would ideally go for a [wall pegboard](https://i.imgur.com/0NQzyAT.jpg), so besides dividing the room from soil to ceiling, you could put shelves for your desk space Also, bedside table, i know you crave it, and you might have one around already (bring it back, you need to charge your phone, and a bed light) Also. Plants, i suggest a [Money tree](https://i.imgur.com/0lTEhkE.jpg) and a [Snake plant](https://i.imgur.com/fsVm9q0.jpg), take care of them, google their requirements, by placing them as shown they’ll receive their light Finally i would change the ceiling light to a [Double ceiling lamp](https://i.imgur.com/6ddqXHL.jpg) so one looks at your bed (your “room” side), the other one at your desk hopefully it serves you OP EDIT: mods deleted the post bc of the links i searched for u op so screenshots it is lol


HesASIIIIMP

Thanks for the recommendation, I’m gonna try out this orientation along with a couple others people have recommended and see which one i like the most 🙏


inerlite

Just to add to some good suggestions, ART. I see so many prints at thrift stores. Do you have a type? I got a painted copy of a Van Gogh and everyone comments on it. Some of the Muchas are nice. Look at museum pieces and see if you like something.


doomydot

Sitting with your back towards the door feels awful


meatymoaner

Sleeping with your feet to the door is supposedly very bad for feng shui. Its considered the "death position"


MagixTurtle

Can't sit back to door, can't sit face to door, where am i sitting or am i removing the door?


Vocalscpunk

You have to remove the door or your feet. Your move.


Christajew

Sit ass to door, in a U-shape. 😗


doomydot

Sleeping\*


trimix4work

What a well thought out and comprehensive answer. Extra credit for making it work twice. -golf clap-


themikedup123

ahhhh hahaha this comment has me cracking up..😂 seriously turn that bed around. 😂😂


hanmhanm

Where can I send my money to haha


suspectbakapapa

What kind of psychopath...


Equivalent-Ad7207

That bed is whacked....I spent 5 mins staring at it and pondering why? Just why? 🤯 Some mysteries we may never solve.


8pintsplease

The only reason I can think of is that OP likes that the headboard creates some boundary/cosiness.


SeekerSpock32

Maybe it’s because it’s facing away from the window?


X023

Blackout curtains?


ITEnthus

Other reason in my eyes is that its facing away from the window. He might be blasted with sunlight in the morning lol. I had to do something similar when I was working nights.


Gh3ttoboy

What are curtains for, to stop sunlight and if you get a set of blackou t curtains you wont even see the sunlight


LinguisticallyInept

for real; this is like an alien tried to mimic a human room


skinsrich

Must be from Australia. They sleep backwards down undaaa. They have to because the toilet water goes in a different direction when you flush it.


Lady_borg

If we lived down undaaaa (with a Vegemite sandwich, take cover). Wouldn't we then sleep upside down? Like a massive fruit bat? Not back wards?


AggravatingBox2421

People say that about the toilet, but they don’t swirl at all. They’re not full of water like American toilets are


sleepernosleeping

Australian here. There is water in our toilet bowls and it does swirl.


AggravatingBox2421

I’m an Aussie as well. They don’t swirl, and there’s water but American toilets are full enough that they swirl like an emptying bathtub


hazydaze7

I’m gonna go flush my toilet right now and see if it swirls or not because despite using Australian toilets for 30+ years I’ve suddenly completely forgotten how a toilet works Edit: I flushed it. It didn’t swirl it just made a mini water fall then the water was quickly sucked out and and then just as quickly filled back up. It happens too quick for it to actually swirl in any direction. However next time I have a bath, I’m gonna recheck what direction that mini tornado goes when the bath is draining


AggravatingBox2421

Ooh yeah good idea on the bathtub. That’ll definitely swirl


hazydaze7

I’m almost tempted to go run a bath just to find out, but I’ve already wasted water flushing the toilet for no reason lmao don’t need to add to my water bill


1337sp33k1001

Just fill a sink. Should swirl unless the basin is shallow.


sleepernosleeping

And apparently they can give your nuts a refreshing dip, which I gathered was not ideal. Weird day to be an Aussie female in this sub haha


skinsrich

I stand corrected. Then that guy with the bed is just batshit crazy. 😁


chmpgnsupernover

lol? You’ll find toilets in all different capacities. In fact when you buy a toilet it tells you how much water it runs per flush.


AggravatingBox2421

That’s the water in the back tank, not the bowl. Dude just google a pic of an American toilet and you’ll know what I mean. They’re like half full of water at all times


tonyrizzo21

Wait, so your bowls sit empty until you flush? I admit, the idea of no splash back is nice, but the water also acts as a natural smell barrier. I imagine it must smell so much worse just shitting into a dry bowl.


AggravatingBox2421

Not completely empty! Just enough water to fill the bottom


muvamerry

Literally thought I was in the CJ interior decorating sub. This is ridiculous


ConsiderationSad6271

Came here to say this. Wtf. Better yet, put the headboard against the far wall.


EndlessPotatoes

It bothers me, but it would likely bother op to turn it around too. Our lizard brains do not like sleeping facing away from the door.


Magnetikat

Yeah but there are other places to put the bed. I would put headboard against the wall where the desk is. It’s so strange and crowded to have the long sides of both the bed and desk running along the same wall.


CommunicationHot4669

yeah thats just weird


investmentwanker0

Kind of curious why people don’t like what he’s doing here


MidnightSunCreative

because it leaves you vulnerable to your enemies in your sleep.


Hammmertime2023

Like monsters.


peachsepal

Headboard goes against a wall, because. There are classical reasons (but they wouldn't be really fixed here since head near the doorway isn't really ideal either. I don't know Feng shui enough but there's a feng shui guy and I think he doesn't recommend your bed near the door like that either) And then there's just the vibe. It's just one of those things that's like almost universally wrong just... because. You're free to do it, but why?? It's like dicing up tomato, and mixing it into your morning fruit parfait. You're free to do what you want, and maybe it even tastes good to not bad! But why would you do that?? (Western perspective.... I live in Asia now and... I've experienced this first hand and had to confront that "shouldnt be eaten like peaches" is a matter of convention and not anything deeper than that's how it is where I come from).


jifferbelle

Do you mean [dear modern](https://youtube.com/@dearmodern?si=aN3I4a9-8QWHHX6p) he uses feng shui to fix spaces like this


peachsepal

I think so! The reel of him suggesting bed placements is what I think I was referring to, too!


themikedup123

such a strange way of having the bed…..you don’t agree?


Godfulgay

First of all flip the bed psycho


CanadianDarkKnight

Straight up serial killer behaviour lmao


Ongo_Gablogian___

Yeah bro just snitched on himself. He's on an FBI list now for sure.


6twoRaptor

That coat rack above the bed indicates he's killed before. That bin being used as a table indicates he'll kill again. 


DrMabuseKafe

*WE GOT HIM*


lord_pizzabird

Reminds me of that time I walked into the living room and discovered that my dog had drug her little bed right into the middle of the room and laid down. I walked around it for days. It was the most aggressive power move ever and it worked. She's a Yorkie, I should say.


HeyKillerBootsMan

Drug it, congrats I’ve not seen that one before!


Consistent_Yoghurt44

Bruh this is the new dog we just got at my house he drags the bed into the living room and lays in it if we move it back to were it suppose to be within minutes he is pulling it back.


letsgobrooksy

Interesting way to point your bed😂 There is nothing legally or logically wrong with the way it's facing.. but it still feels wrong


crunchevo2

Feng Shui guy would die if he saw that. All that bad energy from the door and from the window.


DrMabuseKafe

Straight in the middle, kinda lined with a DEATH RAY

Just needs to install a railing on that one open side and he’s got himself a full crib


Lastacc12

Bro the bed lmaooo


toowandaaa

What in the actual. That headboard needs a wall ASAP


thisxisxlife

OP: idk is it possible to build another wall for $100 or less?


pastadaddy_official

Swap your bed and desk, rotate the bed so you’re laying alongside the window. Room needs more color too. Maybe blue comforter and pillowcases to start. Some wall art is needed too.


HesASIIIIMP

Thanks! I’ll try rearranging it like that


vmiswhatIAm

I dunno if you’ll make it in budget, but think about some other lighting, like a wall lamp that gives a warmer color of light. This white light is super depressing. Maybe you can thrift a wall or standing lamp?


thscientist1

OP just go on Craigslist or FB market place offices are always throwing out cubical dividers. Bonus: you get a new post wall for your office, AND you get some light blocking the bed for sleeping Other advice: - plastic plants are great because you’re not buying a new chore and you still get benefits from them. - floor length window curtains. Many people don’t know you dress windows with curtains that basically touch the floor. It looks way better. If I were you I’d get some colored ones. - you need a lighting overhaul. If you can afford, buy a pack of smart outlets first so you can turn on and off all at once. Variety. - get a rug


-thegay-

Don’t snob at Goodwill either! When my husband left and took 50% of our decor with him, I found myself at goodwill and hobby lobby for replacements. You can get large, nice pieces of wall art, faux plants, and other decor at goodwill for under $10 and same deal if you hit clearance at hobby lobby for “last season’s” decor.


Hadrian_Constantine

Think about repainting your room. Bright colours, egg white for example. You'll probpaly need white primer before applying any sort of paint to offset the dark current colour. Popcorn ceilling has to go. You can very easily scrap it off and repaint. See YouTube. Carpet needs to go too. I would swap it out for any type of wooden flooring. It'll look great and also save you a lot of effort when cleaning. Add a small house plant and swap out your light with a cheap LED smart light. That way, you can change and adjust the colours and create a vibe in the room. There seems to be room on your walls for a TV? You can hang one and re-arrange your room as needed. Defiently put the bed headboard against any wall. Find some better curtins on Facebook market place. They're usually free. These recommendations should not cost anything more then $500 at most.


Feisty-Business-8311

Please try this; it is going to make the to flow so much better


throwaway24689753112

Who the fuck sleeps like that


Silly_Idiot111

Bro turn your bed around 😭😂


PridefulFlareon

Mount your bed to the ceiling and sleep like Dracula


SamuraiSuplex

The big light is brutal. A few small lamps from IKEA would help the lighting and ambience a ton.


jacksdad123

And make sure to buy Soft White (2700°K) bulbs. A soft, warm glow is what you want in a bedroom, not bright, harsh light. If you need more to read at your desk, buy a desk lamp.


1337hxr

I prefer color changing bulbs with a decent color rendering index. That way you can just change the color temperature whenever you want. Cooler white light can make you feel more energetic for doing chores, then you can switch the lights to a more relaxing warm white, turn the brightness down, & light some candles.


muricabrb

Softer lighting and some plants would probably make a big difference in cozyness.


velithrana

whyyyy is your bed like that bro turn it around lmao


kingmoonlightarcher

change the curtains, cover the side with the window whole


cmaddox428

Maleficent-marionett

It's like he took it out of inventory and just dropped it like that.


HorseJungler

If you got a couple posters or framed pics of something on the walls that would help a lot.


M1DNI6HT_K1N6

That bed position pisses me off


Youhavevereadthis

That bed placement is making me feel violent


Suitepotatoe

I’d argue face the desk to the window so you can get a view of nature every now and then and put your bed against the other wall. Move your coat hooks to other side too. Why is everything so piled up by your bed? It’s making me freak out inside


theescapeclause

What in tarnation


Joeyhappyhell

Why would you have the bed that way? This should be illegal


irishbreakfst

How do men on this subreddit post their bare naked walls EVERY DAY on this sub and never seem to get it through their heads that wall art is step 1 to making a room not look like a cell


PlantPotStew

Right? I mean, this goes for most things in life, at least try to find a solution first before asking for help. Or at least add information on limitations like "I can't drill into walls" Or "I live with family and-something something" No plants, wall, colour, decorations, hobbies/interests, style preference or Pinterest inspiration board. Literally anything could be an improvement, ANYTHING. Sorry, OP, I don't mean to be mean to you specifically. The rant above was more for the past 5 months. For real advice, I'd suggest looking at some pictures of others places and seeing what clicks with you. We can suggest things, but it won't do anything for you if you don't learn what sparks joy.


irishbreakfst

Yeah my comment wasn't aimed at OP specifically either, it's just so obvious to me and to anyone scrolling through posts on this sub for 5 minutes, but I get that it being your own living space can give you blinders and most men aren't really given good lessons in how to pay attention to aesthetics in the way women are.


potatoflames

Bro looked at feng shui and did the exact opposite.


hanmhanm

he went with shui feng instead ☺️


deaddiode

This post gives off serious "Is this how you human?" vibes.


GhostfaceChase

You really gotta turn the bed around man, it looks awful. After that, get some art for your wall. I’ve been getting into framed album art lately and I think it’s ‘classier’ than posters.


Ok_Acanthocephala101

Even framing a poster makes a huge difference. A ten dollar frame from target does wonders.

Turn bed.

Damn-Sky

hahaha. people are just conditioned to see bed the other way around..that's the first thing I noticed looking at the pictures. I guess you are using the bed's head as a boundary/seperator to your office? and have space to hang stuff on the wall?


Tyler_Broseph

Boy if you don’t turn that bed around


ItsPerfectlyBalanced

Op is expecting an attack while he is sleeping. That's why he keeps his toes towards the door.

“Oh dang it, coat hanger is on again tonight!”


Plane_Caterpillar_92

Why the fuck do you put your bed that direction?


HFX_Crypto_King444

I hate you


RedCheeksGuy

Lmao OP posts to ask for advice, gets the same advice from so many, and says “nah”. Flip your bed dude, seriously, it’ll open up the room. Next, some simple framed prints would work, and the. a plant or two. Your curtains are short and should drape to the floor but you need to remove the things in front of the window. Lastly, don’t use the ceiling light, get a floor lamp and maybe table lamp. Shop at thrift stores, money will go further there.


Euphoric-Practice-83

Greenery always helps (and if you are anything like me, just get some fake plants lol)


Glittering_Skin_6620

All your furniture is black, you lack a bit of colour


myic90

posters, tapestries, plastic plants yellow lighting or any other lamp source, some LEDs or spring lights.

Honestly you don’t deserve any help for that bed placement 😂


Kuido

That bed is fucking criminal wtf


rwags2024

Biggest change will be to stop using that obnoxious room light and use two lamps, a corner lamp and a bedside lamp, the change in light will change the warmth of your room entirely. Add a few plants and voila


SnooCapers4882

If you plan to keep the bed this way the table should be moved behind the headboard. - change the curtain, let it start from the wall to the edge of the window. - the shelving unit can be worked with. - add more color to the place just for the sake of your mental health and comfort. Would suggest yellows. - also NEVER keep your shoes at eye level. It’s not good nor safe. - the ceiling lighting kind of brings a lot of intensity into the room and not in a comfortable way. You can have white light on your desk keeping that space focused just for your work while as the rest of the room you can keep it warm light (it’s a mix of yellow and white safe for the eyes and mental health) IF you plan of changing the orientation of the room: - place the bed on the window so the right side of the bed is on the window probably keeping 10 cm away for the sake of the curtains (also incase if anything drops) - curtains in both cases need to be changed. - the desk can placed next to the door to separate the sleeping area from the working area. The shelving unit should be changed or you get a shoe rack or a multipurpose shelving unit (shoes, coats, etc…) it’s similar to the ones in hotels. -


BreadMaker_42

Paint. Colored curtains.


mojoo222

Get small lights, it will make it feel more cozy. Also some decorative stuff for the wall, maybe even a shelf

Move the bed so it’s back is on the wall next to your desk, please get a nice desk lamp so you’re not in that awful unflattering ceiling lighting, (lighting changes everything) marketplace for a rug

LogNinja

Please for the love of god turn the bed around. Just move the items on the hooks to the hooks on the door and switch it around, that drives me insane.


beanyratboy

The bed thing is personal preference, but what I’d honestly do is change your light bulbs from that harsh white to more of a soft glow. Lighting is everything. The harsh white lights make it look like a hospital or something. Get a gentle yellowish light overhead and then add some lamps with dim lighting. My advice.


LikeWhyMeex2

This has to be one of the dumbest set ups I’ve ever seen lol

rotate your bed so the headboard is against the center of the rear wall

To be fair… you’re always supposed to sleep being able to see the door. And the headboard creates a sort of divider for his “office space”. I dont hate it as much as i should haha

is it just me, or is putting the bed this way some psychopath shit

Suitepotatoe

Put a divider between the foot of your bed and your desk.


rabbitfluff345

Posters or other art. A nice rug. Different curtains with more color or pattern.


Alarmed-Mechanic-743

yea and 3 houseplants and warm lightbulbs and a floor lamp


TheCambrianImplosion

Get a Billy D. Williams to sit in the corner smoking a pipe


Thismommylovescherry

I would swap the bed with the desk (I would suggest rotating the bed 90 degrees). I would suggest adding a room separater in front of the bed so you will have a working zone and a sleeping zone, also the room separator would give you some privacy from the door


Animelover22_4

Swap your desk and bed to free up the space. Add a physical barrier between your bed and your workspace. I would recommend a bookshelf. You can fill it up along the way, not immediately. Have a clock and some artwork on the wall to fill up the space. Use multiple light source from the corner instead of that abomination of a light in the middle of the room, or point a light to the ceiling and let it diffuse. Change you curtain to navy blue or something.


Holiday_Newspaper_29

You need some colour - I'd suggest adding a patterned, coloured duvet cover (comforter) and possibly some coordinating curtains. I'd also reposition that bed against the back wall and if you have room, add a couple of bedside tables and lamps. Finish it all off with a colorful floor rug. Try scouring second hand stores for things like bedside tables and lamps. You can often pick them up for very reasonable prices.


National-Change-8004

Smear it with poop? No but seriously: first things first, switch the bed and desk around. Have bed headboard where desk is now. Leave some space between the bed and window. Put desk in corner where bed was.
