How do you compensate for a lack of natural light and good view in your bedroom (another house right outside the window)?

[Anonymous No.1746746]

>>1746733
Large light sources and wall decorations. Light colored furniture and paint also help to spread light around.

If you have lamps with bare bulbs, get large lampshades for them. This may sound counterintuitive, but while it does cut the overall amount of light you get from the bulb, it spreads the light source to create a larger light source that's not as intense and more pleasing to the eye.

That one feels too "open" for my taste. I find cramped spaces comfiest. As a kid, I moved all my shit into my closet and just lived in there.

Also, did this come from some sort of christian interior design magazine or something? What's with the weird religious decor?

Also can somebody explain the appeal of bed risers to me? It feels like the most uncomfortable height possible.

It depends. Try to picture a young person with lots of energy and plenty of Dad's money. Why not do something nice like this for a room you might spend years in. When I was in college some of the upperclassmen had done crazy complex shit with their rooms, and had spent lots of time and some money on something that was fun.

Or you could sit in your standard issue dorm room playing vidya non-stop, or get high all the time, or whatever. It's all cool.

[Anonymous No.1751193]

>>1751187
Completely untrue. Plants USE stored carbohydrates at night, which makes CO2. But it's like a sleeping mouse worth of emission.
During the day they consume CO2 to produce sugar. If the plant is growing then more CO2 is absorbed than emitted, since plants use that carbon to build new cells. They literally grow out of the air. It doesn't really matter though, since the process is so slow that air exchange from rooms not being totally sealed spaces swamp the effect.
They do filter small particles from the air during respiration though, and they raise the humidity when it's really dry as long as their soil is kept moist. Plants are just kinda nice to be around.

I find pic related to be a good option. A nice storage place near the bed (in non seismic areas), plants only if you have good weather to leave the window open some time with plenty of sunlight, pillows arranged in a way the bed doesn't look too much like a bed, and a nice rug. Lights are not necessary in small bedrooms imho, even christmas lights or your phone screen do the trick.

This looks suited to one person but can accommodate another comfortably and even 2 if needed on the bed but still comfy.
I hope I made my point to you antisocial autists. Comfort is about having options of more than one place to situate yourself and still feel like you're in a great spot, even if it's just you that's there all the time, otherwise you'll just end up with a bed next to the computer.

If you have a 9ft ceiling or higher you can build a loft bed 1/3 up the wall for like 80$ of material.
