Help! We still have a student bedroom and are in our 40s!

[NeededANameChangeAnyway]

I've just bought a bedding set from dunelm which is white with green leaves on it. Any suggestions for other things I could buy to brighten up our bedroom?

We have a tiny bedroom with grey/green tongue in groove halfway up the wall, white everywhere else. We pulled up the carpet hoping to find beautiful floorboards but they are wrecked beyond saving so I'm looking for a large rug, maybe green? We have a wardrobe mirror door leaning against the wall as our mirror and zero storage. A black metal IKEA bed and two IKEA beside tables. All ancient.

I feel we have a student bedroom!! Help!

I wouldn't get it because a lot of the reviews says it needs ironing as looks crumpled after washing. The Sainsbury's ones don't need ironing after washing and you can get some bold colour ones.

It’s going to feel much better than washable polyester though.

Ruggable does some nice rugs

The bedding looks nice - but will you iron it?

I'm a big fan of the Fired Earth washed cotton range at M&S - I have three sets in muted greens/grey-greens/inky blues, & mix & match the duvet cover, sheets & pillowcases. No ironing needed! They have fewer colours now, but I have the Storm & Weald Green, plus one called Hesper that pops up on eBay/Vinted sometimes. You could mix in the Carbon Blue - blues & greens together are very restful.

Could you mend & fill any damage/gaps in your floorboards after sanding, & then paint them white with floor paint?

Can you post some pictures of your room?

I like Weaver Green products. Their rugs & cushions are made from recycled plastic bottles - but you honestly wouldn't know it! They look & feel like wool/cotton dhurries.
