This is an undergraduate room, and would look much better with posters on the walls and books on the shelves. (The shower is surprisingly excellent though, with good pressure and lots of hot water.)
The furniture is comfortable enough if kind of clunky, but the carpeting is truly heinous. It reminds me of the scene in The Sound of Music where Captain von Trapp tells Maria she has to change her dress and she says that she doesn't have another. All of her clothes were given to the poor when she entered the convent, except for the dress she's wearing, because “the poor didn't want this one.”
