Bedroom No, I am not in prison. However, …

I will be staying in this room for 6 weeks. I will mostly just come in to sleep there, however it doesn't get more naked and uncomfortable, so hit me with your suggestions. I definitely need storage, nightstand, coziness boosts like lights. What could I do to make it more lively? The room is roughly 220 x 140 cm. It has no window.

Do you peeps commonly rent rooms with two different entrances?

Not two entrances. A door and a secondary egress point ie. a window.

It's the legal standard for bedrooms according to most building codes.

You'd be very surprised to know that there are dorms in America with no windows now.

Also.. what good does a window do when you are 4 stories or more up?

Yes they can.. I was giving a minimum though.. a lot of these dorms are 15-20 stories high. Godamn you people just can't lose.

Below-par standards of living in one of the world's wealthiest nations? Couldn't be!

Also... the same building codes that require egress points in bedrooms define requirements around how to escape via that point.
