Matt's advice column

Hi! 19/f

Me and my boyfriend have been living together for about a year now, and I'm getting kind of bored with the way that our room looks. We've made a few changes (took off our closet doors, added some furniture) but I'm still not satisfied. The walls are a dull white, and the carpet is brown. I really want to paint our room, but it's hard choosing a color we can both agree on, or a design. I'm more girly and he's more neutral and calm. I suggest ideas, and he thinks that they're too girly so I really need some ideas that could work for our room since it's the both of us.

If you need an idea of what we're like, well, we're very similar. We're both heavily into music, movies & media. I really like fashion, reading and art. I really want something that could incorporate those but that could really be equal and not too overpowering. I don't want our room to be too feminine or too masculine.

If you guys have any ideas, could you please contribute them? I'm so bored of the way our room looks and we're looking to change it. Thanks in advance!

You guys ought to just cover your walls with band and movie posters. Less time consuming than painting, and it would grow into a hobby.

(Rating: 5) We have a few posters up already, but I think that with our ages (I'm 19, he's 25) it might be a little young for us.
