Answer 1

Well if you like poetry, maybe try and print out your favorite poems in different fonts and put them in frames and hang them. Or maybe even stencil one with paint onto your wall. You could even draw a mural of stuff you like to do on one wall. Just think of everything you like to do and incorporate it into your room. No one else will have the exact same likes and dislikes as you so that will be what makes your room unique.

As far as patterns go, look for a bedspread with a cool pattern and copy that somewhere in your room. I have a striped bedspread so i took a blue from it and painted all my walls that color and then on one of my smaller walls I copied the stripe pattern.

You could also try to make scrapbook picture frames by making a scrapbook page full of memories and put it in a frame. That way you will get a unique picture and it will remind you of times you had with your friends and family.

Answer 2

I'm redoing the guest room/my work room, so this is what I'm doing. I like a lot of the things you said you liked, so hopefully this will help you a little. =]

I painted my room Lagoon Green, which is teal-ish, and I'm putting dark hardwood in. I found these really cool old pen-drawings and pastel framed portraits in our attic that I'm putting on my wall. I found an old 60's lamp also that I'm hanging in the corner (It's really cool).

My room is really really small, so I'm getting rid of the futon and putting in a murphy bed (the kind that folds up into the wall) with a twin mattress that was also in our attic.

That's basically what I'm doing. I have other small details I need to figure out. I'm making a trip to Goodwill to find more old stuff. I found a cardboard cutout of Charlie Chaplin, and an old dresser. I obviously LOVE old stuff. You should find something you love and put it everywhere. It doesn't have to be fancy, just something you love and you will be happy with it.

Do a musical them like paint music notes on the wall and for the chair rale the bottom half you could do piano keys and just make your room look like you.

Answer 4

1st thing you could do is maybe change the light to a different spot so things r more noticable and get some stuff that cheers you up in there.

Answer 5

draw things on a sheet of paper, transfer it to the wall with pencil and put painters tape around the lines.  paint it with one color, like black  and it will jump out at you.  paint another shape or drawing with another fav color...just make sure you use tape so you don't paint outside the lines.   after it drys, peel off tape.   paint shapes around the walls in a line or like a follow the leader line, wiggling around your room....simple but your style.
