Slide: 1,2,3,4 (next day of light gel/mousse styling)

Slide: 5,6 (freshly washed but not even a leave in)

My hair is 3A on washdays, 2C on the next 2 days, It becomes 2A/B by the end of the week. While the next washday comes, it's frizzy 2A.

I mostly wear a right updo for my daily routine but usually when I have a date or any event coming up, I style my hair, or at least, don't brush it. I like my hair long. I don't like bangs falling on my eyes, maybe down till chin. I don't use heat at all. I never did any cut to my hair except the plain old U cut.

My hair looks very dark brown when sunlight hits, but looks almost black otherwise.

The last slide is what I wanna achieve

I can't repaint or remove/replace furniture.

This is how my room looks, adequate sunlight light, and airy. I can't remove/replace furniture, paint and curtains. I do have a few Pinterest inspired hand drawn paintings by me which I can stick on the wall. But please help me make my room look cozy while also functional and easy to maintain. I study so I would also require the tubelights. I have a few cheap warm lights that I light at night during winters, and in the summers the room allows enough streetlight in.

I study and sleep in this room. We can't shift the furniture, or paint the walls, or change curtains. Aside from cleaning the room which I would in a few minutes, are there any ways to made it more whimsical but in a budget while also keeping low maintenance?
