The first thing you should be concerned about right after entering your room is the wall color. Paint the walls of your room with the color of your choice. If you like bright colors, you can pick white, blue, green or orange.

You need at least a couple of tables in your room. One should be a bigger table which would be a workplace for your schoolwork. Another table should comprise shelving in order to give your books an organized place. A bigger table comprising both features discussed above would also do quite well. Furthermore, you also need to have a side table that would give storage option for the items that you would want to keep close to your bed.
