The Jello Lounge is the nickname my friend gave to his room. I love hanging out in it because it gives off a really nice vibe. When you enter, the room feels really big for a double person room. The tall ceilings help make the room feel big. The floors are carpeted, but aren’t that soft. My friend has his armor on the left side of the room next to his bookcase. A small rug is laying in front of the bookshelf, giving the shelf it’s own space. It feel like you can step on the rug and be in it’s own area because his bed is lofted next to the shelf. I love how he took advantage of the space by going up. The bed raised about 5ft from the floor.
A desk and dresser sit under the bed. It’s raised high enough so that he can use the desk and have another dedicated space. I like how he did that. On the opposite side of the room, his boring roommate has his bed against the wall, but lowered so it is only 3ft off the floor. It sits parallel to my friends bed. Next to the bed (closer to the door) is his desk and armor. He too took advantage of the high ceilings and placed personal items on top of the armor.
In both set ups, feng shui is present. They have nice neutral colors, but include fire and water. They have a few candles and black metal in the room. They even have a plant that sits in the windowsill. The windows bring in light and connects the users with nature. Although the furniture has a lot of corners, their decorations bring curves. A beaded light cord hands under my friends bed. It has different round shapes to it and catches your eye. The beads are the same color as the carpet that sits in front of the bookshelf. Their globed-shaped lamp and round trash can also brings in round shapes. The only critique I have is that their desks do not face the door, which is uninviting.
My friends room is located in South, the new residence hall at Queens University of Charlotte. It is on the 7th floor and is larger than my room, which is down the hall, because it doesn’t have a structural beam that cuts through the room. His room looks so much bigger than mine, even though its the same length and width.
