Room can always be repainted. Removable wallpaper could be another idea.

Screens are another option if you don’t want to paint.

Maybe bring in a red chair, also.

that is a good idea about the red accent walls, jck910! I think I will do that. Freedomplace1, I think I will get a chair. Where do you recommend. Ikea, Walmart?

- In regards to placement, try larger dresser on far wall where kite is and add a mirror overhead. Music stand in front of middle window. Chair to the right of window a bit more. The stool is probably handy where it is next to bed.

- With all the windows (remove valances to calm things), the room’s odd shape and lots of things going on, I’d keep it simple and use a warm cream paint color (have other ideas for red) creating a blank slate for more impactful color and interest than a red wall would.

- Now the fun part; make your bed the focal point - decorate only the wall behind bed (for better balance) use your favourite colors you mentioned in your bedding and cushions. Line cushions along back wall to create a day bed look. You’ll have a creative, colorful and youthful room.

- look for second hand pictures, etc at thrift stores and just add pillows to your purple chair. If you want a new chair, look for second hand on Facebook Marketplace - for instance a papasan chair is a good choice and should be fairly easy to find. I’ve seen them for around $50

Hi Isabella, Yes - for the red chair, Walmart, Ikea - you can find something nice. Take measurements of area where you’d like to put chair and keep measurements in mind as you’re shopping around. Get a chair with arms so you’ll be comfortable. I like your valances by the way. If you’re going to be painting, I recommend Benjamin Moore’s Natura Line, or something similar. Have fun! :)

Right now this looks like a little girls room so when I see you idea book you have some great inspiration for a much more mature space.Red paint can take up to 5 coats to get right and IMO a wallpaper would be better and the drystrippable ones are great for this purpose. I love the bedding being the star in a bedroom so I would start there for inspiration, I think the valances are kind of old fashioned but some nice flowy drapes would be good. We always had a huge cork board in our rooms and so do my grandkids it keeps all the stuff you like to save and display on one wall and allows the other walls to be left without tape marks and holes .I would love to see your space when you are done. The shape of the space allows for some interesting ideas.

yes I am thinking of getting rid of the valances mostly because my family's houses previous owner loved them so now we have ten. But they are really well made!

When my daughter was a teenager she wanted to paint her room bumble bee yellow. IMO, it was a horrible color, but it was her bedroom and it was only paint. She helped us with the initial painting and then again before we listed our home. Maybe your parents will be more agreeable if you offer your labor and reiterate that it's only one wall, rather than the whole room.

If they say no, I'm sure you can still create a fun room with the colors you like. Pinterest has lots of creative ideas. Good luck!

Have you considered putting your bed on the 1.25 m wall under that window?

My kitchen is bright red and it took 2 coats of paint. I used Super Paint from SW. No way does it take 5 coats of paint.

Shoemaker, I have considered it but the headboard would not fit under the window. Suedonim75, I think Patricia meant to get the colour the way I would prefer.

I love the idea of the bed as a focal point, except it already is - my bed is full of folded clothes, dirty clothes, books, magazines, stuffed animals, real animals, electronics, pillows, young children, and pretty much everything that isn't me. I am a teenager, after all.

Thanks for the laugh, @Isabella C!

How clever of you to put your bed up against the wall so you always have the inaccessibility of it as an excuse to leave it unmade! It is proven that you get more restful and secure sleep if your bed is opposite the doorway. It follows then that the bed becomes the focal point in a "bed" room! When one enters the door the view is of a centerpiece bed with bedding, art, lighting etc. If your sleep improves, lots of other things in life can improve too. Of course you may get your full 8 hours of sleep, but most teens either don't get that much or get way more than they need! Don't know where you fall on that scale, but consider the possibility of moving the bed. Where would you put it? Well, I would try it under the 4th window (the one that's on an angle from the others.) It won't matter if the headboard is too high for the window sill; that's a minor detail. Find a fun bedspread that includes your red color, and look for a rug to slip under the lower 1/2 - 1/3 of the bed. Remove the valances. Leave your stool where it is if that's where you drop your books when you come in from school. I wouldn't put any other furniture under windows; you have three walls now where the dressers and chair can go. I'm adding this photo to show you some bedding that includes red and purple to kick start your painting/decorating project.

As to furniture placement, create zones -- one part for sleeping and dressing and the other part for your school work and leisure activities.

Red for a wall can be a difficult idea to sell to homeowners. So is purple. You might promise to repaint the red accent wall white or another color just before the house is put up for sale.

Red might also be a selling point if you're working toward a theme that makes red important enough for it to be a wall rather than just red accessories -- for instance a red/white/blue patriotic theme.

Luckily for you there are a lot of different shades of blue -- very light to very dark. You could choose blue denim -- new dark blue or lighter old faded - or a bold cobalt blue. Before deciding, consider an overall theme for your room. Would you want flower garden or beach or mountains or patriotic or something else. That can help you choose the shade of blue.

Also, you can still add red on your wall another way.

Fabric: You could hang a red rug or red bedding such as a quilt or comforter from eye hooks attached to the very top of the wall next to the ceiling where there will be a top wall plate of wood boards to hold the weight.

Wood: Is anyone in your household DIY inclined? Does anyone in your home shop thrift stores where you might find shelving (such as Habitat for Humanity Restore Stores) at a budget price? Any shelving you can paint your favorite red and hang on the wall has the potential to make the wall predominantly red.

If you pull your bed away from the wall, you might even consider floor to ceiling shelving -- red, of course -- against the wall behind it.

FYI: There are a number of things that have the effect of making the bed easier:

Consider another way to display most of your stuffed critters. Red shelving can help do that.

If you have a frame that enables you to remove your foot board, that helps making the bed easier.

If you have wheels on your bed frame so you can roll it out far enough to walk around it.

A sturdy metal twin bed frame with wheels and no foot board is the easiest bed to make and, absent headboard, even easier. You can literally set it in the middle of the room so the head of the bed is the only part of the bed near any wall.

If you choose a full bed, preferably a reversible, bed spread, it will usually cover a twin bed with the sides nearly to the floor, thus neatly covering the side frame of the bed. The only draw back is you might need to pin up the two bottom corners if it is too long to avoid any need to tuck the corners in. (If you do need to pin up the bottom corners, either use the gold colored rust proof large pins or just add one cluster of stitches with needle/thread at the corner point.)

When you're able to walk all the way around the bed, you can stand at the headboard and, (with practice) with a single movement lift the bedspread into the air and drop it mostly in place with only minor adjustments needed around the sides.

When you choose a spread, choose a matching or coordinating pillow sham. No need to fit the spread around the pillow -- just set it on top.

there is one way I could put it that would work

Don’t put bed in front of windows/with back to windows. Not good from Feng Shui point of view. Your bed is fine where it is. Just decorate the room the way you would like.

I do not believe in Feng Shui or practice it. I do not care what is optimal in a Feng Shui point of view. But I do not plan to put then in front of any windows because they are bright.
