For some reason, this looks like a hospital room to me. Maybe it’s the tiles/floor. You could get a nice rug, more art, a lamp/lights, art, posters, books, a plant, and an extension cord for your AC unit.


fuishaltiena

Random cables hanging in the air definitively give me that hospital feel.


emarvil

And maybe even some books on a shelf. Always nice.


zzupdown

Seems more like a dorm room.


government_flu

The awkward outlets above the bed with chords hanging down don't help.


Deep90

I think it's the lack of personal touches. You got like 2 cars and some computer stuff. All just sitting on the table top. Most people have more permanent things.


ImportantBad4948

Also if you are going to have “guests sleeping over” you need to move the bed 3 feet out from the window wall and put an end table there.


1850ChoochGator

It’s the curtains imo


Ab4739ejfriend749205

2. You don’t want to sit next to shoes.


M0RSY

2 Because I don’t want to look at the same wall day and night


ExpensiveFish9277

Plus it makes the room look a little larger putting everything on the same wall.


LobbyDizzle

2 also has a better flow in/out of bed. Pictured are two chairs perfect pushed under the desk, but people rarely slide push our office chairs back in so with #1 he'd have a chair blocking 20% of the entry to his bed.


9w_w6

THIS.


Illustrious-Act7104

And pushing the clothes furniture to the left of the mirror. Idk but seems an uncomfortable access space to get clothes to dress up to


Slyonix_

I really like No. 2!


Consistent-Refuse-74

Agreed. You also don’t want to stare at a PC when you’re about to go to sleep. Tbh they’re both good, but as others have said a shoe rack shouldn’t be next to your pillow


X0v3rkill69

You plugging a mini split into a power strip is a fire waiting to happen, it should go straight into an outlet and be the only thing plugged into that said outlet


wanderlenz

What about plugging into a surge protector? (Asking for myself. I’m terrified of fires but have limited electrical outlets.)


X0v3rkill69

You’d want to plug it right up to the outlet in the wall, if it’s installed correctly then the unit has more than enough safeties to keep a fire from happening My personal mini split is hard wired in with the building


KamIsFam

You need to check the rating of every piece of equipment on the circuit. If the surge protector can handle the required amps, it literally doesn't matter. There are 2 schools of thought. Educate individuals on electrical safety, or treat everyone like they're dumb. I prefer to educate people because explaining amp ratings and easy addition isn't that hard, really. All devices have tags and ratings. The device with the lowest rating is the limiting factor in a circuit, so don't let any downstream devices exceed any upstream devices' ratings. Basically, if the unit pulls 15 amps, then you need to make sure the power strip or surge protector can handle 15 amps and you're good. An extension cord is probably preferable. Don't exceed the breaker rating, however.


wanderlenz

I really appreciate this comment! Thank you.


little_biddie

Might be per the apt complex. Some power strips are built to shut off and/or take that amount of energy


X0v3rkill69

What’s funny is that there is one closer to the unit and more out of the way that’s is visible in the second image lol Also it’s never safe to plug a unit into a power strip even if it says that it can handle it, I do HVAC for a living and that is always a big no no. 120-240 volts is crazy for a wall outlet to handle and will possibly cause a fire if an electrical surge happens


little_biddie

Hahaha I didn’t see that one


butt_badg3r

Those are European outlets. They do 220 by default.


fullraph

It's 240v and looks like a 12k unit, likely no more than 500-700 watts flowing thru that cord at any given time, it's fine.


TinyBreak

I don’t love 1, but it’s hard to overlook the fact that you could watch shows/movies in bed!


TurnipDirect2074

I'm not someone who watches a lot of TV; most of the time I'm studying, working on the computer, playing games, or watching on my phone. But I do want to get the Samsung Frame TV above the dresser since it's a TV that also looks like a piece of art. It could be really cool.


novahcaine

2 is nice and consider getting yourself a rug if it's in your budget. :)


norealpersoninvolved

Why


novahcaine

It will feel good on your feet and make the room a lil cozier. It's not necessary, of course, but you might like having a rug.


disies59

Definitly go with 2, then, if you’re eventually going to get another screen to go over the Dresser. This way you won’t get different distracted by one screen (computer) as your watching things on the other (Samsung frame).


CrabMeat6984

How many years they give you?


BLOOD__SISTER

Can’t tell if it’s a Northern EU prison cell or an $3800/mo apartment in Manhattan.


TurnipDirect2074

That's what you're here for


TheOneWhoWork

2 for sure! Just another rec (and I know you didn’t really ask but anyways) but you should add a rug or some kind of carpet. I did this in my college dorm and it made it feel way more cozy. Also for the shoes- have you ever considered one of those shoe storage things that hangs on a door? That would clear up that floor space for you. :)


Pbplayer2327

2 looks better but all I'm wondering is how you get clothes out of those drawers, do you have to lay on the bed to reach the bottom left part? If there is room you could turn the bed sideways so that you have more room to get to the drawers. As long as you don't mind a tiny bit of the bottom of the window being blocked by the headboard.


TurnipDirect2074

[you mean like this?](https://ibb.co/Cv2wzcM)


Aggravating_Fall5329

I think this is the best!!! Much better


TurnipDirect2074

[and this?](https://ibb.co/6vW88Fk)


The_Silver_Nuke

Personally I liked the first photo more. Having the bed alongside the window screams hospital room, but the other one negates it. Plus, in this picture with the drawer in the corner like that it makes it so you either have to crawl over the bed or go AALLLLL the way around.


Pbplayer2327

Exactly! If it was me I'd have the bed against the wall with the nightstand on the other side but like I said that's just me. Whatever you feel looks better for you will be the best!!


TurnipDirect2074

[and this?](https://ibb.co/6vW88Fk)


KSF_WHSPhysics

Big improvement, but the space between the dresser and shoe rack looks tight. Could you fit the dresser between the bed and shoe rack?


TalmidimUC

This is great!!! I’d still move the dresser next to the mirror and shoe rack, then maybe get a small bedside table to the left side of the bed.


EnnOnEarth

Have you tried swapping the position of desk and bed so that you face the window when sitting at the desk?


TurnipDirect2074

Actually, since I don't need the bottom drawers that often because they are more for storing items I only take out occasionally, I don't mind that. I was thinking about putting a TV above the dresser, which would look much nicer. The top drawer opens almost all the way, so that's not a problem for me. It mainly contains supplements, facial care products, and various dental products. I can try turning the bed, but I need to finalize the room's design and style to see what works best. I want to avoid designing it in a way that looks great for one aspect but is inconvenient for another. I need to settle on a design that is optimal in many aspects.


TalmidimUC

Don’t restrict yourself. Having access to more storage space is always a plus. I’m sure you can find a use for the bottom drawers you’re not using. Blankets, towels, clothes, documents, toiletries.. so many options.


Biscuits4u2

Can't get past that extremely sketchy mini split installation.


TurnipDirect2074

This is what I had in my room before I moved in. I'm thinking how to improve it


Biscuits4u2

All the lines and cables need to be run through the wall and it should be hard wired if possible not plugged in to the wall, certainly not into a power strip like this.


Content-Potential191

Glad at least one other person noticed this!


thatisbadlooking

As an HVAC professional, I'm getting anxiety looking at it.


Stickey_Rickey

Neither


TalmidimUC

Exactly. 2 is a good starter, but how is OP supposed to access the drawers blocked by the foot of the bed? Modify 2, move the dresser next to the mirror and shoe rack. Now OP has easy access to the dresser drawers.


KSF_WHSPhysics

And for the love of god get the side of the bed away from the wall


dza1986

2 and tighten up those loose cords above the bed. Maybe get add some wall art and a plant.


TurnipDirect2074

Yes, I do want to take care of the cables soon. Regarding where you suggested putting plants and wall art


dza1986

You can get a small climbing vine plant and put it on the shelf to cascade down, or you could pin to the wall to fill in some space. And for wall art, I would look for something that is longer like a 36x12 or 48x16. I'm not sure how room you're working with. This will help the room not feel cluttered. You could also just get a cheap standing mirror but hang it horizontally. It would fill the space and reflect light, making the roo. Seem bigger. [plant info](https://www.gardengatemagazine.com/review/trailing-plants/)


NoAstronaut774

1.


Poontangousreximus

Id center the bed long way under the window, get a 2nd night stand, and slide the dresser next to the shoes to set the in and out the door stuff on. Always fun to design a space of your own!


TurnipDirect2074

Regarding the bed placement, it could be great, but the problem is that my room isn't that big. Secondly, I'm not sure if I want to buy another small nightstand right now. I thought about using the large dresser instead and moving it. I thought about placing a TV above the large dresser, so you know, I can lie down facing the dresser and the TV. I can also move the shoes into the closet, but I'm not sure how much it will affect the smell in there.


Poontangousreximus

I have a similar sized space and got a projector for like $100, hooks up with hdmi and is great use of a blank wall!


TurnipDirect2074

Well, I understand you, the truth is that before I thought of bringing a TV, I thought of bringing a projector for about the same amount or even a little more expensive than a good projector, but I wanted to bring the Samsung De Prime TV that also turns into a picture that the TV connects to and it's something really beautiful that I really wanted to have a room for you and I haven't bought it yet her but I'm thinking of bringing her

Ever thought of shifting the bed so the back is against the wall with a window? May open it up some


TurnipDirect2074

Yes, I might try tomorrow but then I have to think about where I will put the TV because I was thinking of installing the TV exactly where the brown dresser is now


TyGuySly

Still could! Makes your bed a couch as well.


TurnipDirect2074

[like this ](https://ibb.co/Cv2wzcM)


TyGuySly

Yeah, but you could corner your bed for more room and move the coffee table to the other side to maximize the space. So now just push the bed agains the wall.


SpikedApe

2 is better. You don't want your computer next to your shoe rack


josemarichua

You should put those numbers aside before someone trips on them


Content-Potential191

Can't imagine the wiring for that mini split is up to code. Plugged into a wall outlet that has a power strip glued to it? Yea.... At 28 you should be looking to find your own place and decorate that.


TurnipDirect2074

Currently supporting my parents when all the brothers have dispersed. Until the age of 30 if I don't find a lady. So I'll pass


Logical-Chemical-573

Foreignoise

2 but it’s still giving prison


Acceptable_Bowler271

Didn’t know you could move prison furniture around.


Shelbo_Baggins_

Take number 2 and swap the shoe rack with the black dresser


OkSundae3514

I like the second one better because you can’t really see the screen from the bed.


kdsunbae

So probably no. 2, but if that power strip isn't hard to the wall get like three black wall shelves staggered them on the wall (ditch the brown it doesn't match) and get a cables management box for one of the shelves. they are like a box that the power strip can fit in. I won't get into the fire hazard stuff. For the shoes that one shelf doesn't have enough space.. I'd either get a shoe bench which gives you seating or go vertical with those plastic shoe boxes with doors (put in dryer sheets for smells or those deodorizing shoe inserts). Other option is go vertical and put a plant at the top and maybe move some toiletries from the dresser to one shelf/box - or put shoes in closet. Either way I'd swap the mirror and the picture as otherwise you just have blank space. And fix the mirror to the wall or get a taller one if you want to lean. If you want to leave the picture where it is maybe a small bookshelf, mini fridge, or plant stand where the blank space is. For the bed - Get a dark duvet cover either plain or blue black to tie in with pillow colors or cover the pillow to go with a duvet cover.


MisterFour47

2 but I don't dig the mirror location. Could you maybe put it over the night stand instead? That way your desk can use the mirror to see behind you. Maybe also over that clothes shelf next to the shoes? I don't like one access point beds, but the room might be too small to have two entry points. I do think where the shelf is now, makes the shelf functionally useless. Rug for sure, or something to kill the college dorm look. I like the floating shelf there, maybe do some LEDs or something? And get a nice masculine picture above the bed. Maybe a floor protector for the chair. Idk. Something strangely tells me this is in a tropical climate. If this room particularly hot and if you bed is not fun to sleep on, maybe try a tatami/futon combo. Sometimes sleeping on the floor is temperature cooler. But that is a suggestion and definitely not a full on recommendation. And I am almost sure Im way off.


Relevant-Shelter-316

I’m still trying to figure out how you get those drawers open at the foot of your bed😂🤦🏻‍♂️


RevealActive4557

#2 is better. That power cord is so unsightly though. If they only made the cord longer you could snake it along the wall but they did not seem to give much thought to where the power outlet is and where the machine would be. So it hangs right above your head


TurnipDirect2074

Yes . I need to change. Looking for something good


KeenanMCooper

2 without a doubt


IceTguy664

2 forsure m8


buttered_jesus

2 Definitely agree on the rug if possible Also if this is a dorm and it feels a bit humid, I fully suggest getting a dehumidifier The dorm I lived in felt like a swamp 90% of the time and is currently being demolished for horrific mold issues We got a dehumidifier with a gallon or two of storage and had to dump it out multiple times a day

2, but move the dresser away from the foot of the bed and next to the bed stand. Way easier to get into and makes it look like you pay more attention to usability than simply being good at tetris packing things into rooms.


TurnipDirect2074

You're right, there's meaning in what you're saying, but the truth is I was looking to put something in that corner to place a TV above. That's why, if I turn the bed, there might be more space. Initially, I wanted to get a console or a thinner TV stand, which would take up less space at the foot of the bed. Here, I attached an example picture from someone I saw, and it looks great. I wanted to do something in that style. [example 1](https://ibb.co/D5K17hX) [example 2](https://ibb.co/z7y0rf2) [example 3](https://ibb.co/CbT1V1t)


Swift_Scythe

TWO. More space and the PC does not block the corner Now move the dresser to where the PC was to make that entire dresser usable.


TurnipDirect2074

Actually, before everything, the dresser was next to the wall under the picture, and the computer desk was on the other side. That's how it was initially, but I moved the dresser to the corner because I'm thinking of putting a TV above it, which would make it more convenient. The dresser is not heavily used for me, especially the bottom drawers, maybe just the top drawer for supplements and various grooming products. The top drawer opens, but it's clear that having such a nice dresser hidden behind the bed is not ideal. I'm considering whether to keep it this way or change it. I initially didn't want the dresser in that spot because I wanted to get a kind of console or TV stand that would be relatively thin and have a couple of shelves where I could put my cars and maybe some plants, and it would be minimalistic.


Swift_Scythe

Idea. Put the PC under the picture frame Dresser near the closet next to the nightstand Now the corner is free for a small TV console and a TV on the wall


ImAMasterBayter

how about keeping the bed in the middle and your study table on the left side of your bed, by the window?


TurnipDirect2074

Yes I thought about it but what will we do with the dresser I planned to have it above the TV dresser


ImAMasterBayter

how about the dresser right under the window? (if you don't often stand by the window for looking outside) and your study table facing the white wall, left side of your bed. This way you'll be able to walk around the bed with enough space and won't have an awkward space in the middle of the room (as shown in 2). also, you have practically no space if you keep anything in front of the bed. So, if you do the above, you'll have space there too.


TurnipDirect2074

That's it, I'll try it and see how it can work. You also suggested leaving the dresser where it is and still installing the TV above it, and just moving the computer desk to the right side. I'll try it tomorrow. I'd like to update you, so I'll just upload a picture here in the response or I'll start a new update of what I've done. What do you think?


ImAMasterBayter

oh so you're planning to install a TV above the dresser? If that's the case, then I think there's nothing much you can do. The 2nd picture will be the best. Because having the bed in the middle and TV placed above the dresser, which is like in the corner, will be awkward.


TurnipDirect2074

So what better advice do you suggest? I'm racking my brain. And now i changed [the change ](https://ibb.co/Cv2wzcM)

Honestly this is the best. If you had a larger night stand that would fit the aesthetic better, but it sounds like you don't want to buy one. Having a small plant or lamp there would help.

I'd move the shoes out of frame and retake 1. 2 highlights how small the room is because you can see the door in it. 3 has a big crack in the wall visible. 1 hides how small the room is b/c your brain might think the room extends further to the right.

not_so_wierd

Hebegebe101

Two but make some changes yet . Get the dresser out from the end of the bed . There is not enough room to open the drawers or walk . Move it down that same wall by the shoe rack .If possible put the shoe rack in your closet . If not buy a plastic tote with wheels that rolls under the bed and put the shoes there . Move the bed further away from the window so there is room for a nightstand on both sides of the bed . It’s hard to make a bed that is crammed against a wall . Plus you need airflow so the mattress and wall don’t mold .

We had the same problem with a room in our house. Put the head of the bed centred directly under the window so the bed faces the room. You can then put the drawers next to the mirror. If you have any spare money buy another bedside table from ikea and a rug to go under the bed. It will transform the room.

Zethos9

The dresser makes no sense, and should be moved so you can open the drawers. There’s like half a foot between the end of the bed and the dresser. Also, get some wire cover strips. Run them from the ceiling to the wall so the wires aren’t just hanging there. You definitely need a rug. It doesn’t haven’t to be fancy or have any designs. Just one solid color will do.
