   Pillows add some colour and design to your home & bedroom. , A kettle, toaster for those mornings, spatulas, forks, knives, pots, pans.
   
   Etc. , You really need a rug in your bedroom & than in your lounge room if you can afford. , A coffee table is for you & your mates to put your drinks and lift your feet up onto whilst watching a chick flick or a funny comedy movie! Horror even if you're that type of person! , A draw set in your bedroom! Maybe a mirror above it. , A bedside table on each side of the bed & 2 lamps on each one, if you can, paint your feature wall (wall bed is up against) a colour that your room will be themed ETC.
   
   Blue and red, pink and white, green and orange....
   
   Mostly one colour and white is cool. , Some soap, your hair supplies..
   
   Don't forget that moisturiser and hair creams.
