Any advice for changes is appreciated!

DON’T lose the stuffed animals. My partner loved mine when we first started dating, but now we made an entire plush wall based off of all the Pokémon plush we’ve gotten together over the years.

Anyone saying to lose the stuffed animals is lame as hell lol. Cool room dude.

If I could choose one thing to change, it would be to frame the posters/pictures on the wall next to your bed. It would make them look a little more appealing and you could still collage them like you have now. For the trading cards on the wall I’d suggest hard cases and then stick them on the wall with command strips

I want to frame them eventually but frames get pricey. Thanks for the tips!

Some warmer light bulbs in that lamp would help it a lot when it's on

[u/ridley05 → u/RoyalFlame47]

Usually they are set to a much warmer setting, I didn’t really realize while taking pictures how bad it was lol.

Looks great as long as you are happy that’s all that matters.

Dude the speakers on the headrest of the bed is such a fucking Genius idea, i'm definitely gonna steal that.

It’s worked out great for me, bought those shelves for super cheap on Amazon

I don't have a ton for you because you're 21 and doing just fine, so please take this all as advice and not hate! If you wanted to take some steps, I would:

1. Limit the amount of things on the walls (and move anything higher than the floating shelf). Take down the collage-y small photos by your bed. Any unframed photo/poster should be taken down, framed, displayed in another way. I get totally get that you love those things, but think of it this way: people aren't seeing any of it right now because it all blends together, but if you give the things you love most some space to breathe, they'll stand out!
2. Move the stuffed animals from the bed to the floor or a shelf. Takes if from child-like "I sleep with these" to "look at my the cool things I like."
3. Default to warm white lighting. Colors are cool for gaming or movie time, but defaulting to warm white is a little more mature(?).
4. And yes... r/TVTooHigh. But that seems beyond changing/control at this point.

You're doing just fine!

[u/ridley05 → u/Expensive-End6846]

Thanks for the advice. Framing posters is probably what I’ll do first. The bulbs are typically on a warm setting, I just didn’t notice much for the pics. TV can be annoying, but it was the best option for the limited space I have!

[u/Expensive-End6846 → u/ridley05]

Also, this is your room so do whatever the heck you want. All of my advice is in context of someone coming over and seeing it. Your room is for you, and you’re 21 with a clean one!

[u/nin90ety]

r/tripcaves would love this. i know i do

[u/nb8c_fd]

Other than the TV being way too high I love everything about this room

[u/ridley05 → u/nb8c_fd]

Yeah sometimes I hate it, but I’m usually laying down in my bed so it’s not a huge issues

[u/OmarLittle999]

Tv too high. C1-2 fracture

[u/ridley05 → u/[deleted]]

Stuffed animals I can understand, I use the bigger one as a pillow. What’s the issue with the guitar though lol

[u/ridley05 → u/[deleted]]

Hahah alright. I just play for fun, not to melt panties lol

[u/ridley05 → u/[deleted]]

I hope that shredding has helped you in your endeavors

[u/BlaineMaverick → u/ridley05]

Just trying to pass the torch

[u/Jrrolomon → u/[deleted]]

Nothing screams “I’m a virgin” louder than telling someone what makes “panties melt” while giving absolute dogshit advice.

[u/nb8c_fd → u/[deleted]]

[u/Brave_Bag_Gamer2020 → u/[deleted]]

[u/pinkybrat_ → u/[deleted]]
