Lighting
Lighting is the single most important thing you can do to upgrade your room aesthetic. Never use the overhead lights, they make your room look horrible. Here are some cool light sources you can get that will instantly make your room look 10x better.
These box lamps are great. They'll light up your room with a much better light than your overhead lights. Plus the shelves make a great spot to put other decorations and make your room look even more put together. (See the decorations section for ide...

This little lamp is perfect for a nightstand or a desk. It provides some accent lighting which goes a long way in improving the overall feel of your room.

These are some desk lights with a circle lamp shade instead of a square. Plus these ones have multiple color temperatures you can choose from, making your room aesthetic more versitile.

This lamp is awesome. It looks great in my room. You can choose from a couple different color temperatures and dim it however you want. This lamp looks great pretty much wherever you put it. (You can choose between a few different shade colors and te...

IMPORTANT: We're not 15 anymore, so LED lights should be used with caution. If you string LED lights along your ceiling, that's a quick way to ruin your room aesthetic, cause that looks really immature. However, when used properly, (like behind a tv,...

Desks/Dressers
Getting a nice desk and dressers that goes with the aesthetic you're going for in your room will make your room look much more intentional and put together. (It's time to get rid of that desk your mom got you when you were 13.)
If you don't have a ton of space in your room for a desk, this is a good option cause it's pretty small. The drawers are nice too cause you can just put things that you would put on the desk in the drawers. That way you can keep only the things you u...
Small Computer Desk with 2 Drawers
This desk is a little longer. The drawers don't have handles which I think makes it look a little cleaner, but it's up to you. It also comes in other colors.
40Inch Small Desk with 2 Wooden Drawers
This one doesn't have drawers, which isn't a problem if you don't have many things you need to use at your desk, but it is a little easier to let this one get cluttered, so just watch out for that.
40-Inch Home Office Computer Desk
This is a cheap standing desk. If you want a standing desk but don't want to pay $1,000 for one, this is a good option.

This one has 5 drawers and is a little taller than the other one that looks like this, but still not super tall. Make sure you measure before you buy it and make sure it's the right length and height for you.
5 Drawer Dresser for Bedroom
This one is really short, but it looks pretty good. Make sure to change the selection to one of the wood ones if you don't want the drawers to be made out of fabric. I have the fabric version though and I like it.

Furniture
Without furniture, your room will look and feel blank. Getting good furniture that matches the rest of your room is a great way to make your room feel more intentional. Here are some ideas
Leaning shelves like these are amazing for making yur room look less blank. You can put basically just random stuff you have on here, and as long as it looks organized it'll make your room look really nice. I use mine for camera gear and my drone and...

This is another option for a leaning shelf

We need something to put on our desks and dressers now that there isn't clutter there anymore. Having bare surfaces makes your room feel dead, but on the other hand, having little decorations on the empty surfaces of your room will make it look much ...

Plants
IMPORTANT: Make sure you don't overdo it with plants. If you have too many in your room it will look girly. That said, getting plants for your room is an excellent way to add some life and color to your room. I'd even say you NEED at least one plant ...
This is a pretty realisitc looking, medium sized fake plant. Great for the corner of your room if you don't want a plant that's super tall.
Medium Height Artificial Dracaena Plant
This is the same kind of tree I have, only mine is real. I've had it for years and literally all I've done to take care of it is put it by a window and water it once every 1-2 weeks. It's super easy to keep alive if you want a real one.

You should consider having one tall plant in your room. More than one will probably be too much. If you don't want to get a real one, here's a tall fake one you can get.

How your room smells plays a huge part in how good it feels to be in there. Here are some things you can get to make sure it doesn't smell gross and musty in there.
If your hamper doesn't have a lid, that's why your room stinks. You gotta get one with a lid bro. (And honestly, keep it in a different room if you can.) Having dirty clothes in your room is one of the fastest ways to make it stinky. And the worst pa...
Double Laundry Hamper with Lid
Candles are awesome for making the atmosphere of your room better. Lots of stores have candles so I recommend you go to stores and smell their candles and find one you like. Pine is a pretty safe option though. And it's really nice in the winter.

Funny enough, Little Trees are a great way to give your room a long lasting scent. Just hide it under your bed or on the bottom of your chair or something and it'll make your room smell nice for a while. Just make sure you unpackage it gradually so t...
