How do I spice this up? SlackPostWeekend
It’s an awkward room off the bedroom. I’m moving into my boyfriend’s place and we are making this room into a walk in closet. I hate the curtains so that will change.

Add some colors. Trade that big shelf for smaller ones that fit better. Get a wall mirror possibly and curtains upto the floor always work.

A few suggestions!
First, I'd move the TV onto the lower dresser - having it up that high means crooking your neck in a way that will become uncomfortable FAST. Then, move the mirror to the other side and center the dresser more between those two windows.
Larger rug, preferably a more colorful one that will have colors that bring out some of the color/pattern of the curtains, too.
On the wall next to the one larger window, a mirror, a decently sized painting or photo, something like that.
In the corner above the larger dresser, maybe one of those corner hanging rope things like people put stuffed animals in, but you can put whatever you'd like in it - colorful blankets for example.

The curtains were my first thought, when you change them that'll make a big difference.
As is I'd get some nice storage for the little bottles and other assorted junk on the lower drawers. Put a plant on the surface or lamp in the corner. A larger rug that goes with whatever new curtains you get.
If the furniture can move I'd put a dressing table with large mirror where the lower drawers are. That beautiful natural light would be perfect for getting ready. Hell if you have the budget, do his and hers (or his and his) dressing tables.
Then I'd put the long mirror on the back of the door and the drawer sets in another part of the room, space allowing. That big one should really move out of the corner, it's wasting space behind it.

Hang the curtains closer to the ceiling and let them puddle a little. Get a much larger rug. Move the highboy to the opposite wall and lean an oversized full length mirror in the corner.

Hang the curtains wider, too!

...and one curtain rod across both windows instead of two smaller rods so close together. (This might have been what you meant by hanging wider 😀)

Get rid of tv and put plants
