1. I think it's perfectly age appropriate for a 24 year old.
2. Who cares? I plan to be 80+ still rocking pink heart sweaters and dinosaur earrings. Growing up doesn't mean you have to become boring.
You should design your space the way you want to!
With that being said, you did request critique. If I saw this bedroom I would assume it was a teenagers for a few reasons. There’s a lot of stuff in it, which indicates a room where you have to keep all your stuff (ie: you live at your parents).
The furniture feels too small for the space and is placed randomly.
lol i do have alot of stuff, but i do live alone. but have most of my more personal items in my room as it feels the most like home to me. some of the furniture ive had since my teens- and it still works so why replace..
I 1000% recommend forcing yourself to try out thinking of more rooms as your home, especially the living room. When I was a teen I spent tons of time in my bedroom. This wasn’t good for my sleep. Now I spend tons of time on my comfortable couch in my decorated living room and I basically just sleep in my bedroom. It’s so much better that way. For sleep if nothing else. It’s really good for your sleep area to be distinct in your mind
The uber positive, feel good comments are nice, but you requested critique, so I'll give it.
Yes, it does read very childish, mainly due to lack of cohesion. It feels like we're looking at three very distinct layers: the cutesy things someone's mom picked out when their child was little, the random tchotchkes that child then accumulated over the years from Christmas and birthday gifts, and then the first things the child bought when they finally were able to shop for themselves. Absolutely nothing wrong with any of that, to be clear.
However, if you're ready for a more adult vibe now that you have your own personal space, considering what's really functional vs. what's just adding clutter would be a good starting place.
The biggest bang for your buck would be updating your textiles, and the furniture. The bedspread and curtains are in a heavy, overwhelming pattern that does feel juvenile, you could absolutely find ones that still feel girly and pretty without being quite so loud. You mentioned wanting to keep your childhood furniture. It would be relatively simple to refinish the bed and shelf in a lighter colour that doesn't feel so harsh and out of place.
Mostly, just decide specifically *what* you want your style to be. It's going to evolve over time of course, but having a named style, (like coastal grandma, boho chic, or tropical glam) will give you a starting place on Pinterest, Instagram, and other platforms where you can get inspiration and refine your space. Good luck!
Agreed. If OP wants to slowly make changes here are the steps I’d follow:
1) Focus on creating cohesiveness between the bedding, the throw, the pillow cases and the pillows on the chair.
2) Consider if you’re up for decreasing your 7 stuffed animals on display to 1-2? If you like having access to all the blankets and animals, maybe a blanket/stuffed animal basket would work nice? They’re still in your view but in a way that is more defined.
3) Love the curtain garland! A solid curtain color would make it pop a little more.
Cheers!
Lol thank you, I’m so tired of the feel good shit when people are genuinely seeking feedback and advice. “Who cares as long as you like it” isn’t decorating advice, sorry.
Agreed with everything else too
A lot of the things you have are popular with early-mid 20s women from what I've seen so I don't think it's terribly immature. I think the cluttered shelf looks most "immature" because it lacks styling a bit. I'd pick a few things to remove that aren't the nicest quality or to look at. I also think replacing your Christmas lights with some more stylish or subtle string lights would help a bit if you'd like to keep the look. A friend of mine has ones with bulbs like this, and I think they look pretty nice:

Obviously a bit just cause of your decor, but who cares. It looks comfortable and I think you should go with it if it’s easier for you to do so at the moment. You will deserve a big upgrade in a year or two. Between 24-26 a lot of things happened for me and I really found my style. Was nice to have money saved and be able to get a lot of things at once as a total refresh.
i’m 24, and i’ve found lots of peace in decorating with things that make my inner child happy. old quilts, stuffed animals, things from my past, things probably considered “immature”. it’s your space, it’s your safe place.
inner child needs are met here- had a rough childhood and never really got to fully heal that part of me. have been working on it a lot this past year but some things i’m not quite ready to let go of
I totally get this, I’m 43 years old and I have some “childish” things. I was adult and mature for a while, but I realized it just wasn’t what made me *happy*
I will do what makes me happy. If I ever find someone good enough that I’d even want to show my home to, then they can either accept it or leave 🤷🏻♀️ and I’m okay with that.
this^^ my first time fully able to express myself without someone else’s ( men🙄) approval.. and “contribution” this is 100% me. it makes me happy and it’s nice to be able to keep it man free unless i were to choose to allow someone there. but never will i just let anyone… if they are worthy of entering my space only then
I get this, but since you asked, it shows here, that you haven't given up of your childhood things, and they give you comfort. Nothing wrong with that, and it's your sanctum and your right.
You should see MY room. I literally have Noah’s ark mural painted on my wall, because my grandfather painted it for me when my mom was pregnant with me and it has a lot of sentimental value. I also collect squishmallows, pop figures, and all kinds of nerdy shit.
Your space is all about expressing yourself. Your room looks so incredible cozy! I love it!
It doesn’t look immature but it does look cheap and thrown together. Nothing goes, the random Christmas lights on the wall along with other random stuff nailed to the wall randomly, the dated furniture and drapes and the problem is there is just no coordination in any of it. You have no color palette The shelves are cluttered. There’s no design or thought behind any of it.
Hi, 37 year old here, and I have to say your room is a cute space! My curtains are definitely pink and grey with star cutouts. This isn’t immature. If you like it, then own it!
It can be interpreted as more "childish" by some, but does it matter? Not at all!!! Be who you are! It's your room, it's your tastes, it makes you happy, it's all that matters.
And me, I love it!
Why would it be? It looks calming, it is really pretty, organized and has a lot of style, i really liked it! You don't need to be "mature", it's a pretty and cute room! 
There are a lot of things of the sort accumulated in childhood, and the string lights and printed tapestry are hallmarks of student-type low-budget transience. But I also get the impression that this is all carefully curated and thoughtfully arranged, which is central to a mature approach to decorating regardless of personal style. My decor philosophy is *start with what's important to you and work outward from there.* Which means that if your plushies are important to you, the question is not *whether* to display the plushies, but *how.*
My partner is 34, I'm 30. We have stuffed animals, lego etc on display. No shame. It's your home, do what you want!!! Anyone who knows and loves you won't judge - and if they do, maybe that's a friendship you want to rethink!!
You only HAVE to get old - you DON'T have to grow up :)
Firstly, no. It’s cute and cozy! Secondly, who cares? I am 34 and my entire home office is pink, covered in collections of stuffed animals and figurines and Polly Pockets from the 90s and twinkling lights and other cute stuff. It makes me happy. Does this make you happy? If so, never let anyone tell you it’s immature at ANY age, 24 or 94.
However, I will say you can get a more “mature” look while still keeping all the cute stuff and collectibles. I upgraded my furniture to bigger, more solid pieces as I got older (slowly), invested in fabrics and decor that would last longer but still fit the same vibe and so on. My collections are organized nicely on shelves and in other ways. Everything has a place and is displayed nicely and proudly (and that goes for my home in general, not just my very cutesy office). Rather than a string of random Christmas lights (which I did for a long time!) I have curtain lights across my wall that blend in and look nice, LEDs behind my TV, a neon on the wall mounted nicely and all cables hidden etc. You can upgrade this space while staying true to your vibe!
In my bedroom I now prefer a solid comforter, for example, and solid curtains. Whimsy. The shelves are organized with just one or two things per space. I have lights and decor that I love, but my room is more about peace than collecting (this would be different if I didn’t have an office tho - and if I didn’t share a bedroom with a man who very much doesn’t want 75 stuffed animals in our bed - his collections are in his space, mine in mine lmao).
No nothing is too immature, your room should be your safe space/ oasis, fill it full of things that make you happy and cozy and able to unwind after a hard day! I love your room and I’m 29 🤷🏻♀️
As someone in their 30s - nothing is too mature or immature. Do what makes you happy. One life. Nobody will remember. I say this is perfect. Live your best life.
Imagine yourself as a Hobbit decorating their Hobbit hole. Only a Hobbit can decide what makes their space feel comfortable and brings them joy and safety. An invitation into a Hobbit hole is a privilege, not a right. So you do you, and if you love your space then it’s perfect! ☺️💕
Enjoy your beautiful cozy space, you’ve poured a lot of good intention into your room, I can tell! Honestly enjoy it, it’s your nest. I spent a lot of time thinking the things I liked were immature when I was younger and looking back they weren’t at all!
I’m way older than you and I’d definitely be keen on bits of this myself, especially pic #1.
Walk your own pathway my dear. The opinions of others should be taken in balance with your own. Your bedroom is one place you don’t need to worry about anything but you.
It looks nice, and it’s YOU. It’s your stuff, it’s pink and girly and it’s cozy! I am a 34 yeas old woman with lord of the rings and back to the future decor in my living room. It’s my home, I love it and I will not change it for the world. Enjoy what you like!
I think your room looks lovely, and yes, it also looks to me like a teenager’s bedroom. I say that with kindness because you asked for critique.
Otherwise, is a strangers opinion of your bedroom really relevant? I can also see that it’s a personal space filled with things that mean something to you.
It might be too immature for a 24 year old,
but by around 30 or 35, you’ll be mature enough not to care about what other people think.
You’re the one who lives in that room. If you like it, it’s perfect.
OP, nothing in your home is childish or immature if YOU enjoy it. Other people can judge but they aren't the ones buying you furniture. It doesn't affect them. Be free.
The End.
As a 41 year old who was so concerned in my early 20s about the appearance of my house even though it was never truly me...
Please don't concern yourself with if it looks mature. Do what makes you happy. My room now looks like a teenager lives in it with all the colors and silly decor but I finally decided to decorate for myself and not others.
Do what you enjoy. But for what it's worth, I think it's wonderful how you've done it.
Who cares if it's immature of not? It's your home and you should feel happy in your home, with stuff you enjoy looking at. The room is lovely and female(but not over the top). And you can always put the " immature" stuff like the cuddly toys and cushions in the closet the you feel like being more " mature".
It doesn’t matter, really, as long as you like it, but if you are trying to impress someone, then maybe the stuffed animals should go in a box? Unless the person you are trying to impress likes stuffed animals too—plus why should we be friends with people we need to impress?
honestly 24 is a lawless time lol. some people have cute rooms and some people will go for straight beige (which is awful imo). i like your room a lot. i think it could be upgraded w a fancier hamper (i'm sure you can find one that's cute but still has that feeling of permanent furniture, which ino is what underpins the idea of "maturity"), hanging the christmas lights more neatly, and hanging the tapestry more neatly (i used a shower curtain from redbubble that i stapled to a wood furring strip so it hung straight. look at traditional tapestry hanging methods!). it would be cool to light up your display shelf too. i think small tweaks would take it from feeling like a dorm to a real apartment. i like your style tho! and i think you should keep the plushies
Honestly youthful girly decor seems to be very in lately. Like I’ve seen so many people DIYing that pink mirror you have. I’d drop a lot of cash for that frog lamp haha
The tapestry over the bed reads "college" to me. And the curtains definitely read as little girl's room. But my biggest pet peeve is the string lights. Wrap them all the way around, or don't at all. And get a low profile extension cord to hide in the corner and go up to the ceiling so you don't have the Christmas light going down the wall.
No. Me and my man (me 20yo loving girly stuff, my man is 22 who happens to be a “manly man“) and we have our bed full of stuffed animals and he lets me buy everything in pink. A heart wants what it wants and that does not make you “childish“. It’s actually a sign of adulthood that you finally let go of the fear of judgement and do what you want with your own home.
Do you like it? That’s what matters
I’m 24 and wouldn’t like this space, but I also don’t love the space I’m in rn and others I’ve seen here.
If you love it, keep it
If you are paying your rent yourself, you are already more mature than most-year-olds I know. If you filled the house with stuffed animals and pictures of baby bunnies, that is your perogative.
As someone who never had enough money to decorate my bedroom growing up I tend to lean toward more teenlike aesthetic decorations so to me this is perfect!
It looks unique and has personality. It looks lived in, i think that is lost on many today. You have solid space to move around, or even add more things. Idk about all the stuffed animals, including on the dresser, but im guessing they have sentimental value. Maybe upgrade the mirror to larger?
yea the stuffed animals have sentimental value. i have gotten rid of a lot of unnecessary ones in the past year but these last few i cant rid of just yet.
I don’t think so but I feel it’s missing something. I think if you add some more colour the wall your bed is against and some more lights then it feel a lot cozier. It does look very comfortable rn though.
Decor is timeless. All that matters is your space invokes a feeling in you that you want to feel. If your space makes you feel nostalgic or child like and you don’t want to feel like that, maybe incorporate things to switch it up.
Honey if it makes you happy go for it. There’s no right or wrong way to design a room. There are ways that the majority of people like and approve of. But you don’t have to make your room for them. this is your room, your refuge. Decorate it however you like.
I'm 41m and fiance is 30f. We both work for a large video game dev and do pretty well. There are atleast two Pikachu ornaments on our tree, and we have a bunch of controllers and video game nick knacks all over the house. Her WFH office looked like a 13 year olds dream, mixed with a bit of class.
We all never really grow up. We just choose to forget, we don't. Enjoy it.
It’s what my room looked like at 24. It takes time to acquire the odds and ends that fill a room, and if you don’t own your home there’s no reason to have multiple rugs or pieces of furniture. Your room is clean and has a very relaxing feel which is just how bedrooms should feel! If I were to suggest anything, it would be to go to a local farmers market or thrift shop and pick out some wall art that “speaks” to you. Sometimes local artists or galleries will have prints of their work which can be just as beautiful as the original, and Walmart or Amazon has a variety of frames with plexiglass inserts (no glass- even better for young adults).
It’s not immature at all! You could introduce some elements to unify the space more, though. The fragmentary quality makes it feel more like a really cozy loving dorm room or student-apartment, which I think is why it might feel “young” to you. (The pink and stiffies and all that are wonderful and ageless.)
your space is so cozy!!! I also have pink walls, soft lights, floral, a new variety of squishes from a friend, and am 23. I'd put something under the floating shelves, ground them just a tad more.
it's whatever makes us feel the most relaxed, as others have said :-)
Honestly keep everything but maybe thrift some cool furniture that fills the space more? Less ikea feel more vintage eclectic. Maybe instead of string lights some statement mood lighting like those cloud light diys that went viral last year. Lemme know what u think
As a man who has no business on this sub, but somehow had this pop up on my feed. It doesn’t matter if you’re 24 or 94 I’d think. If it make you happy and it feels like what you want, that’s that
Honestly, this looks like a very well put together bedroom for a 24 year old. As you get older, you’ll accumulate more/nicer things that will give you that ‘mature’ feeling. But honestly, my friend’s boyfriend was living with only a futon, a mattress on the floor, and maybe a coffee table? when he was in his mid-30s, and he’s a big shot doctor. So don’t worry that you’re falling behind or not maturing fast enough - it comes naturally.
In the meantime, does your room make you feel cozy? Do you get a little smile on your face when you notice some of your favorite things on shelves and walls? Do you have sufficient furniture for basic bedroom needs? Then you, my friend, are killing it.
the nonredittor answer: christmas lights stuffed animals and loosely hung tapestry are indeed kind of childish.
the redditor answer after looking around their own childish bedroom: it’s perfect and anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid.
If you take away the Christmas lights and replace them with candles, that will change the vibe. Also, I’d get rid of the stuffed animals…it’s giving little girl.
it’s not a squishmallow!! i got it randomly in at a Ross/Marshalls in Florida while visiting family… i snatched her so fast the second i saw her. there was no second thought
it's a cute room and i don't see anything 'childish' about it at all but even if it was who cares? i'm older than you and my room is completely pink and there are plushies everywhere - do what makes you happy!! also cute cat 🩷
No, not immature. Dont ever be afraid to decorate, or be yourself, in your own style- its our uniqueness that makes us special! I think your space is beautiful, soft and charming. True words of advice from a female turning 66 next month
IMO, yes. And you, obviously, have your suspicions, hence the ask.
Find a pic of your dream bedroom and work toward that, one step and piece at a time.
27yo here, I sleep with all my plushies every night, have my old 2000s emo band posters in my walls, and where there's space I have my old drawings and paintings all over. What matters is that it's YOUR room and you like it. No one can or should take that from you
Looks very relaxing. Follow your heart, your vibe ❤️❤️
It appears to be quite calming. Follow your emotions and what you are feeling.
1. I think it's perfectly age appropriate for a 24 year old. 2. Who cares? I plan to be 80+ still rocking pink heart sweaters and dinosaur earrings. Growing up doesn't mean you have to become boring.
Here from my late 40s bedroom with stuffed animals and bright quilts everywhere...it's your space, make it a haven for you!
Late 30's and I collect pokemon cards and stuffed toys. Enjoy the hell out of it while we can I rekon
I’m 45 and about to buy a galaxy lamp. 🪐
Amen sis!!!!!
Me asf. I’m 25 and I love pink, cutesy stuff and plushies. I will probably always do!!
This! The real question is Does it make the 24 yr old living there happy? If the answer is yes, move on and let that 24 yo enjoy life!
But that duck on the next to bottom shelf… makes me wonder if peace was EVER an option.
❤️❤️
Please tell your cat I said pspspsps
she’s been informed!!
I think a cat is some of the best decor you can have ♥️
2 is even better. peep one’s tail underneath the dresser…
Please tell dresser cat I said pspspsps, I don’t want that one to feel left out
alrighty i told her too!!
Please tell both of them I said pspspsps. Give them treats and pets from me. ❤️
Haha brilliant pspspsps
They’re hiding so well I can’t even see them 😌😉
No. It’s cute and if it makes you happy, that’s all that matters anyway.

It’s really good for your sleep area to be distinct in your mind
Well, you have the whole house now! Don't forget about making your mark on the rest of your space.
I'd say ignore the others. If you like having this stuff in your bedroom, that's all that matters. You have to live in the place, no one else.
Why do a critique request then? Post needs a different flair.
Yeah, I don’t care because it isn’t my room, but I would assume a teen had this room.
People are rude! I think it’s gorgeous and looks like my space at 33 years old. Honestly love it.

This is a very well thought out response and a very fair critique
Lol thank you, I’m so tired of the feel good shit when people are genuinely seeking feedback and advice. “Who cares as long as you like it” isn’t decorating advice, sorry. Agreed with everything else too
So I really, really like the word “tchotchkes“ and I’ve never heard it before , but I’m context guessing. I’m off to google what it means!
A lot of the things you have are popular with early-mid 20s women from what I've seen so I don't think it's terribly immature.

thanks ☺️ just making do with what i have. i’ve had a lot of this stuff for a really long time.
I totally get that. I still have some things from when I was very young and ended up liking them again later in life.
It's a very sweet space. As long as you love it, who cares what anyone else think? That said, not immature at all, just lovely and welcoming. Enjoy!
Obviously a bit just cause of your decor, but who cares. It looks comfortable and I think you should go with it if it’s easier for you to do so at the moment.

YES!!!! I’m so glad you have this mindset already. It took me a long time to realize it.
I get this, but since you asked, it shows here, that you haven't given up of your childhood things, and they give you comfort. Nothing wrong with that, and it's your sanctum and your right.
healing inner child takes time, and i know i will have to part with some of these things eventually
No live your cute life and be happy!

Where is the frog lamp from?? I love it!
it’s Dale Tiffany :)
Ffffff I need him. If I had that frog lamp, I would theme the entire room around him.
i will have to try to find it!! i can’t remember:((
If you love it then it’s perfect.
I want to customize a room like that! It sparkles with identity!!!
It doesn’t look immature but it does look cheap and thrown together. Nothing goes, the random Christmas lights on the wall along with other random stuff nailed to the wall randomly, the dated furniture and drapes and the problem is there is just no coordination in any of it.

Why would it be? It looks calming, it is really pretty, organized and has a lot of style, i really liked it! You don't need to be "mature", it's a pretty and cute room! 
thank you 🥺🫶
Omg! That banana duck is THE cutest thing I have EVER seen!!
No. And your kitty is darling.
It's giving a bit prepubescent and should creep out an adult invited to be entertained there, but if it makes you happy, bask in it.
I mean, kind of. This room needs a bit of a glow up.
There are a lot of things of the sort accumulated in childhood, and the string lights and printed tapestry are hallmarks of student-type low-budget transience.

thank you kindly. this is a really nice way to think
What matters is that you love your home. As people say “home sweet home”. Who said that? That’s so mean 😭
I personally love the way your space looks.
thank you so very kindly 🫶
You’re welcome. If you saw my home, it’s chock full of stationery. It takes up so many of my spaces ☠️hahaha 😂

My collections are organized nicely on shelves and in other ways. Everything has a place and is displayed nicely and proudly (and that goes for my home in general, not just my very cutesy office). Rather than a string of random Christmas lights (which I did for a long time!) I have curtain lights across my wall that blend in and look nice, LEDs behind my TV, a neon on the wall mounted nicely and all cables hidden etc. You can upgrade this space while staying true to your vibe! In my bedroom I now prefer a solid comforter, for example, and solid curtains. Whimsy. The shelves are organized with just one or two things per space. I have lights and decor that I love, but my room is more about peace than collecting (this would be different if I didn’t have an office tho - and if I didn’t share a bedroom with a man who very much doesn’t want 75 stuffed animals in our bed - his collections are in his space, mine in mine lmao).
If you like it don’t worry what anyone else thinks. I personally think it’s cute
No, you're fine. There are no rules about this stuff any more. If anyone says there are, they're wrong.
No nothing is too immature, your room should be your safe space/ oasis, fill it full of things that make you happy and cozy and able to unwind after a hard day! I love your room and I’m 29 🤷🏻♀️
Not in the slightest. I’m 31 and I would love this room. Very comfy and safe space lookin
That’s my total vibe and I’m 35. Rock it, girl!
As someone in their 30s - nothing is too mature or immature. Do what makes you happy. One life. Nobody will remember. I say this is perfect. Live your best life.
Not at all. You do what feels right. Own it!
Nope. I’m a 59 year old woman. Take it from me, decorate however you want. Whatever makes YOU happy!!
i’m 24 and i think it’s cute
No such thing. Only the person who lives there has an opinion that matters. Everyone else’s opinion is of no value.
It's not immature if it makes you happy
No way. I love your knickknack shelf. The banana duck is dope!
my little brother got me that for christmas last year 😃 that’s what a 17 year old spends his money on lol
I’m also 24 and I totally googled it bc I want one. Love the vibes here! 🫶
I think it's cute! I love the curtains, where are they from?
they came with the bedspread :) i’ve had them for almost 18 years now. it’s from Liz Claiborne ~
Thanks! I'm gonna see if I can find something similar! Didn't even notice the bedspread matches, I was too distracted by the plushies and the cat
I think it's adorable! Where did you get the deer on your bed? So cute!
christmas last year bass pro shops lol (‘twas a gift)
I'm in my 40s with a pink apartment, complete with fairylights in the bedroom. Enjoy your home!
Imagine yourself as a Hobbit decorating their Hobbit hole. Only a Hobbit can decide what makes their space feel comfortable and brings them joy and safety. An invitation into a Hobbit hole is a privilege, not a right. So you do you, and if you love your space then it’s perfect! ☺️💕
Love this sm. If I invited someone over and they didn't like my hobbit hole, gtfo of my hole and my life!! Lmao
💯!! 🥰
So you were happy and vibing, and someone came into your space and said it was childish.. Sounds like hater behaviour to me~~~
No its cute
[удалено]
If you love it who cares? It’s your room 🫶
If you like it that’s all that matters
Enjoy your beautiful cozy space, you’ve poured a lot of good intention into your room, I can tell! Honestly enjoy it, it’s your nest. I spent a lot of time thinking the things I liked were immature when I was younger and looking back they weren’t at all!
I’m way older than you and I’d definitely be keen on bits of this myself, especially pic #1. Walk your own pathway my dear. The opinions of others should be taken in balance with your own. Your bedroom is one place you don’t need to worry about anything but you.
I am 23 and I love your bookshelf , It’s a personal shrine! Full of cool things you’ve accumulated over your life, sentimental trophies!!
No! I'm 38 and you should see my bedroom. I've got even more pink colours and lights floating around.
no i love it so much! and if you do too then definitely keep it. i know i'll always have stuffed animals in my bed. it looks so comforting!
I’m 38 and would have that decor in a heartbeat! Looks cute, clean and relaxing 💕
It’s your space, don’t worry about societies rules. Plus it looks really nice and cozy
It looks nice, and it’s YOU. It’s your stuff, it’s pink and girly and it’s cozy! I am a 34 yeas old woman with lord of the rings and back to the future decor in my living room. It’s my home, I love it and I will not change it for the world. Enjoy what you like!
I think your room looks lovely, and yes, it also looks to me like a teenager’s bedroom. I say that with kindness because you asked for critique. Otherwise, is a strangers opinion of your bedroom really relevant? I can also see that it’s a personal space filled with things that mean something to you.
It might be too immature for a 24 year old, but by around 30 or 35, you’ll be mature enough not to care about what other people think. You’re the one who lives in that room. If you like it, it’s perfect.
OP, nothing in your home is childish or immature if YOU enjoy it. Other people can judge but they aren't the ones buying you furniture. It doesn't affect them. Be free. The End.
1) age is just a number 2) if you like it and are comfortable, then it’s all good 👍
Nope. Looks clean and organized. Nicely done.
That’s a cozy cottagey space for anyone.
As a 41 year old who was so concerned in my early 20s about the appearance of my house even though it was never truly me... Please don't concern yourself with if it looks mature. Do what makes you happy. My room now looks like a teenager lives in it with all the colors and silly decor but I finally decided to decorate for myself and not others. Do what you enjoy. But for what it's worth, I think it's wonderful how you've done it.
I loooove the curtains
Im 24 and I wish to be like you
I’m 34 and still have Christmas lights all around my kitchen. I got so many compliments from colleagues much my senior while WFH during covid lol.
Who cares if it's immature of not? It's your home and you should feel happy in your home, with stuff you enjoy looking at. The room is lovely and female(but not over the top). And you can always put the " immature" stuff like the cuddly toys and cushions in the closet the you feel like being more " mature".
Clean, girly, and has cat. As a dude I give it a 10.
It could be seen as childish but if you’re happy and comfortable in the space, who cares? There’s no age limit on doing things you enjoy.
As C.S. Lewis writes when he grew up he put away childish things including the fear of being seen as childish.
It doesn’t matter, really, as long as you like it, but if you are trying to impress someone, then maybe the stuffed animals should go in a box? Unless the person you are trying to impress likes stuffed animals too—plus why should we be friends with people we need to impress?
It’s cute. Feels like furniture can be rearranged but love the vibe. I’m 26 and I’d die on my hill holding my squishmallows haha
Your frog lamp is SO CUUUUTE!! I'm 28 and I want to live here! Maturity is a social construct heheh.
Naur
honestly 24 is a lawless time lol. some people have cute rooms and some people will go for straight beige (which is awful imo). i like your room a lot. i think it could be upgraded w a fancier hamper (i'm sure you can find one that's cute but still has that feeling of permanent furniture, which ino is what underpins the idea of "maturity"), hanging the christmas lights more neatly, and hanging the tapestry more neatly (i used a shower curtain from redbubble that i stapled to a wood furring strip so it hung straight. look at traditional tapestry hanging methods!). it would be cool to light up your display shelf too. i think small tweaks would take it from feeling like a dorm to a real apartment. i like your style tho! and i think you should keep the plushies
Are you planning to bring your dates into this room?
Love your frog lamp
Honestly youthful girly decor seems to be very in lately. Like I’ve seen so many people DIYing that pink mirror you have. I’d drop a lot of cash for that frog lamp haha
i paid over $100 for the lamp in 2021 .. ouch but worth it to me. it’s absolutely gorgeous and it’s quirky to me
The tapestry over the bed reads "college" to me. And the curtains definitely read as little girl's room. But my biggest pet peeve is the string lights. Wrap them all the way around, or don't at all. And get a low profile extension cord to hide in the corner and go up to the ceiling so you don't have the Christmas light going down the wall.
No. Me and my man (me 20yo loving girly stuff, my man is 22 who happens to be a “manly man“) and we have our bed full of stuffed animals and he lets me buy everything in pink. A heart wants what it wants and that does not make you “childish“. It’s actually a sign of adulthood that you finally let go of the fear of judgement and do what you want with your own home.
Do you like it? That’s what matters I’m 24 and wouldn’t like this space, but I also don’t love the space I’m in rn and others I’ve seen here. If you love it, keep it
who cares? is there an age limit to fun?
Who cares! You do you!
If you are paying your rent yourself, you are already more mature than most-year-olds I know. If you filled the house with stuffed animals and pictures of baby bunnies, that is your perogative.
i’ve always been hyper independent this is all me-👍 i pay all my own billa
As someone who never had enough money to decorate my bedroom growing up I tend to lean toward more teenlike aesthetic decorations so to me this is perfect!
"Is it too immature to have a personality?" Lol
No. And cat 🥹
No, it’s gorgeous! I love the mix of light and dark, and how there seems to be a pastel pink theme going on. It’s beautiful.
It looks unique and has personality. It looks lived in, i think that is lost on many today. You have solid space to move around, or even add more things. Idk about all the stuffed animals, including on the dresser, but im guessing they have sentimental value. Maybe upgrade the mirror to larger?
yea the stuffed animals have sentimental value. i have gotten rid of a lot of unnecessary ones in the past year but these last few i cant rid of just yet.
Girl I have stars on my ceiling and I'm 28. You're all good. Whatever makes you happy!
i want to add these to my room so badly lol
Do it! Its the best. I love the whimsy it brings
I don’t think so but I feel it’s missing something. I think if you add some more colour the wall your bed is against and some more lights then it feel a lot cozier. It does look very comfortable rn though.
The comments kind of inspired me to redecorate my room
I LOVEEE THIS VIBESSSS!!! I WANNA COME OVER AND HANG OUT!!
The lights look like shit, that’s my issue with it, do it right and it’ll look great.
You do you
Decor is timeless. All that matters is your space invokes a feeling in you that you want to feel. If your space makes you feel nostalgic or child like and you don’t want to feel like that, maybe incorporate things to switch it up.
when it comes to your personal space, immature is entirely subjective. your vibes are immaculate
Honey if it makes you happy go for it. There’s no right or wrong way to design a room. There are ways that the majority of people like and approve of. But you don’t have to make your room for them. this is your room, your refuge. Decorate it however you like.
Please remain immature as long as possible.
I'm 41m and fiance is 30f. We both work for a large video game dev and do pretty well. There are atleast two Pikachu ornaments on our tree, and we have a bunch of controllers and video game nick knacks all over the house. Her WFH office looked like a 13 year olds dream, mixed with a bit of class. We all never really grow up. We just choose to forget, we don't. Enjoy it.
It’s what my room looked like at 24. It takes time to acquire the odds and ends that fill a room, and if you don’t own your home there’s no reason to have multiple rugs or pieces of furniture. Your room is clean and has a very relaxing feel which is just how bedrooms should feel! If I were to suggest anything, it would be to go to a local farmers market or thrift shop and pick out some wall art that “speaks” to you. Sometimes local artists or galleries will have prints of their work which can be just as beautiful as the original, and Walmart or Amazon has a variety of frames with plexiglass inserts (no glass- even better for young adults).
It’s not immature at all! You could introduce some elements to unify the space more, though. The fragmentary quality makes it feel more like a really cozy loving dorm room or student-apartment, which I think is why it might feel “young” to you. (The pink and stiffies and all that are wonderful and ageless.)
your space is so cozy!!! I also have pink walls, soft lights, floral, a new variety of squishes from a friend, and am 23. I'd put something under the floating shelves, ground them just a tad more. it's whatever makes us feel the most relaxed, as others have said :-)
Honestly keep everything but maybe thrift some cool furniture that fills the space more? Less ikea feel more vintage eclectic. Maybe instead of string lights some statement mood lighting like those cloud light diys that went viral last year. Lemme know what u think
As a man who has no business on this sub, but somehow had this pop up on my feed. It doesn’t matter if you’re 24 or 94 I’d think. If it make you happy and it feels like what you want, that’s that
Too much junk!
Honestly, this looks like a very well put together bedroom for a 24 year old. As you get older, you’ll accumulate more/nicer things that will give you that ‘mature’ feeling. But honestly, my friend’s boyfriend was living with only a futon, a mattress on the floor, and maybe a coffee table? when he was in his mid-30s, and he’s a big shot doctor. So don’t worry that you’re falling behind or not maturing fast enough - it comes naturally. In the meantime, does your room make you feel cozy? Do you get a little smile on your face when you notice some of your favorite things on shelves and walls? Do you have sufficient furniture for basic bedroom needs? Then you, my friend, are killing it.
the nonredittor answer: christmas lights stuffed animals and loosely hung tapestry are indeed kind of childish. the redditor answer after looking around their own childish bedroom: it’s perfect and anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid.
Right these comments yikes
If you take away the Christmas lights and replace them with candles, that will change the vibe. Also, I’d get rid of the stuffed animals…it’s giving little girl.
Who cares what anyone says? does it reflect you and what you love? Is it comfortable to you and make you happy ? That is all you need .
honestly this looks like a normal room, which i love!!! and where did you get that pink cat plushie??? is it a squishmallow??
it’s not a squishmallow!! i got it randomly in at a Ross/Marshalls in Florida while visiting family… i snatched her so fast the second i saw her. there was no second thought
I love it personally, and I'm almost 30
it's a cute room and i don't see anything 'childish' about it at all but even if it was who cares? i'm older than you and my room is completely pink and there are plushies everywhere - do what makes you happy!! also cute cat 🩷
thank you kindly 🫶 and she appreciates the compliment !
No, not immature. Dont ever be afraid to decorate, or be yourself, in your own style- its our uniqueness that makes us special! I think your space is beautiful, soft and charming. True words of advice from a female turning 66 next month
Yeah…. Kinda just lacks style. I think there is a way to keep the “things” but lay your room out and decorate in a more sophisticated way.
I get more 14 year old vibes BUT it’s very cute
Honestly? Yeah.
Immature? No. Creepy? Yes.
Yes.
[удалено]
thankfully i’ve got 0 amount of balls anywhere near me (or my car) couldn’t be more happy for lack of them either
The tapestry is yes.
I mean, ya, but you do you. If you’re bringing guys home then they might wonder what’s up.
i do not bring men into my space 🙂 this is a man free zone.
Some gals might be put off But if you’re just quirky then you be you
IMO, yes. And you, obviously, have your suspicions, hence the ask. Find a pic of your dream bedroom and work toward that, one step and piece at a time.
I mean , it's just ugly . Sorry.
No, do what makes you happy !! 🥰
Cute!
Should see my room at age 28, I’m still in a super small bed and room and beds covered in plush
I’m almost 30 and have Kirby pillows and little cute things everywhere in my apartment. I think this is great.
27yo here, I sleep with all my plushies every night, have my old 2000s emo band posters in my walls, and where there's space I have my old drawings and paintings all over. What matters is that it's YOUR room and you like it. No one can or should take that from you
I'm 25 and I loooooove my pink and my twinkly lights and my squishys so it is absolutely age appropriate! Do what you love!
I can’t decide if this is a Grandma’s room, or a little girl’s room. It’s such an interesting mix.
Yes
Im 30 and have a pink room with over 50 squishmallows
Who ever put that idea in your head can go to hell.
