So I'm a trans guy who ****** himself over by picking the girlest decor ever. I have dark purple walls that I can't paint over, teal curtains and dark brown dressers. Also a small room. I don't know how to make my room look manly without changing the wall color or furniture. I love DIY stuff, plus i'm not very rich so please keep that in mind
And so you can help better, I love minecraft, the color red, superwholock stuff, tumblr, and other things like that.
What are your suggestions?
How to make a girly room masculine?
Put some earth tone color into the room, like tan curtains and matching throw pillows.
Get rid of any accessories like cushions, rugs.
Keep to one colour if you can't change the colour of the walls it will have to be purple and get purple curtains, purple bedding etc
Keep the place tidy tidy tidy with nothing on display.
Don;t have any frills on the bedding etc just plan solid covers

Turn over and weight down til dry to prevent curling.
Paint the woodwork a dark color, black or dark brown, get dark masculine curtains and pick out some masculine bedding and pictures. With all those dark colors you'll need extra lighting, pick bold a chunky things, you can buy lamps at a thrift store for a reasonable price or rummage sales. If you don't pay a lot of the lamps you can paint them a dark color, uplights are also a great way to add light.
