Oh, ugh...the inevitable anti-'Keep Calm' poster wags. (By now there're people out there sick of hearing how people are sick of hearing how people are sick of 'Keep Calm' posters.)

I adore the desk - where is it from?

Hmm, I'd not have figured a recent kitchen would have older, less energy efficient appliances like that...

Yumont rocks - alas, while not currently a JP resident, I was one (and a regular Yumont customer) long enough for them to feel comfortable briefly lending me a power drill one time (they suggested it when I mentioned what my project was)!!

Never heard of a paintable-dorm but if so, you may be able to add a few nails/screws also? In that case, something like several of Ikea's lack shelves could be good, especially spaced apart but stacked horizontally on the wall (long as your stuff isn't too heavy).

If not, then it's back to bookcases for you. In any event, store small items (especially if not visually interesting themselves) in some nice boxes. Maybe get some nice (such as canvas) under-bed boxes that coordinate. Then keep just the best items out for display, so it doesn't get too cluttered to the eye. Rotate displayable items, if you have a lot.

What are the colors you're trying to choose between, for the wall color? When you pick one, consider a poster/print (in frame for extra class) that complements that somehow. Alternatively, arrange a bunch of smaller photos/prints in frames in a group on a wall. Sometimes matching the frame colors makes a nice effect.

Are you stuck with any dodgy, worn, must-keep-in-room furniture, or can you substitute any of your own?

Is your wall cinder block, or wall-board/plaster?

Great bear / ominously-themed painting placement! (IE, I find the combo. darkly amusing...)

This looks pretty similar. For about half the price.

Earthboxes, while not raised up, have casters for moving them about. About $50 a kit.

Modularity = very good. But why not level/more color choices?

Do my eyes deceive me, or are they using the Traby 31.5" x 31.5" units for their shelving...? (And if so, how'd they rig up those glass shelves?)

Embellished (or even plain) branches (such as birch), in a vase, with glass marbles, &tc, to keep them in place.
