Welcome to Gaia! ::

I like the colours your room is now, but I understand wanting to repaint. What I think would really help your room look more lived in is some pictures on the wall. Or, even hanging pieces of pretty fabrics on the wall to help break up the solid colour.

The way to hang the fabric is to get thick cardboard, or foam board, and cut it in a square or rectangle, then you place the fabric on the front, and fold the edges to the back and secure with tape or staples. I saw a woman's sewing room decorated with a few squares like that, that co-ordinated with her paint, and it looked very nice.

You can also try decorating the top of your dresser with a vase of flowers, real or fake, it's not important, but flowers will bring a feminine touch to your room. If you don't have a vase, look through thrift stores for them, or use a pretty bottle. If you use fake flowers, you'll want to weight the bottom with marbles or glass stones so that the vase doesn't fall over from the top heavy flowers.

Some small, framed photos of friends or whatever you like to look at would be cute on your dresser, or desk. I know that dollar stores sometimes carry very flowery frames that are a little over the top, but affordable.
