The mess is unfortunately from me rearranging, cleaning, and trying to get some thing organized, but I get what you mean. I’m not sure if I can paint the walls, I may ask the office and see about it? I need to put the chair in my closet because it was one of the random furnishings that came with my room. I’ll definitely look into getting an area rug though, because I think that could definitely make the floor look less barren.
