Probably with blood from that fan hitting me in the face.

I'd have to start by figuring out which way up to hold this picture.

It is in micro gravity. There is no up.

Get a camping shower, a paddling pool, two portable gas burners, a microwave, two second-hand coffins, paint everything white, and take some photos with a fish eye lens on a potato.

The next morning slap that shit on RightMove as a two bedroom micro-apartment for £1000 per month.

You'll have 12 offers in by lunchtime.

  1. Paint a matte muted color.
  2. Remove spinning blade of mangled body parts, replace with something like a light bar or maybe sconce. I'd want it to shine the light upward and be partially shielded. A light bar is less of a target for head bonks.

Everything else depends on what you want to use it for.

If for storage, I'd put in some shelves for now with the goal of widening the entrance and having shelving slide out on rails in the future. Depending on what it looks like outside the room.

Otherwise this could be a good playroom for animals or children, secret reading nook, honestly as a kid I would have LOVED a bedroom like this. Decor for those uses obviously changes wildly but boils down to mostly paint and maybe some molding.

In boating we call that a BCD, or Body Chopping Device.

Yeah unless you're in a major city and space is at a premium, I'd slap a hinged bookshelf secret door over this, toss some beanbags and reading lamps in there and call it a day.

Oh and remove the death fan, of course.
