Room Design

This is a mini-challenge, with no winners, that occurred on the first day. Each pair of roommates was told to design their space.
Rules:

2. You cannot: move the furniture, add new furniture otherwise those specified below, remove the furniture, get new flooring
3. You may add: lamps, rugs, wall decorations

Richard and Scott:
Their room changed from drab and unfriendly to a vibrant color scheme. They chose vibrant yellow bedspreads with deep red sheets. They made the furniture a light brown color, and added a mirrored corner and some pictures. The walls are covered in a yellow-striped wallpaper, and their rug is actually lattice wood, showing their unique style.

Pearl and Bonnie:
Their room changed from a neutral, dull tone to a whimsical, warm environment. Their bedspreads feature a circular design, and the wood is dark. This combined with the matching orange and brown rugs create a relaxing environment. The lamps beside their head and the paintings on the wall add to the stylistic flair that shows through in their personalities.

Nathan and Thomas:
Their boring room was transformed into a breezy, colorful scene. Their green zebra-striped bedspreads, sky blue walls, and giraffe portrait gives the feeling of a happy home. Their fuzzy rug and funky lamps also adds to the feel-good aura that the room gives off.

Claire and Dana:
This gloomy and lifeless room was changed into a feminine wonderland, with the bright pinks and purples. The room is toned down a bit with the dark periwinkle of the rug and the light wood of the furniture. The paintings on the wall tie into the color scheme very well, and the light color of the wall really highlights the colorful bedspreads.
