How would you decorate this room?

Chainsaw and a skylight. A big one too, like one of these

And yeah, yeah, I've heard they are a pain to maintain and break easily. I don't care, I'll fix it every week if that means I get a balcony and fresh air every day.

You want a sawzall, not a chainsaw. The former is a precision cutting tool, the latter is for arboreal maintenance.

I want a wrecking ball since that would be more fun and destructive, but ok.

Ah yes, that would make sense.

I'm over here thinking like a firefighter trying to ventilate a roof, not like a contractor trying to install a window.

I thought it was for c sections...

I guess I'd put up some tarps to prevent the inevitable blood splatter from staining the walls and floor?

Reminds me of my high school buddy who was in a family with 8 kids. Every closet in that house became a bedroom.

with a bucket, a mop, a broom and dust pan, a shelf with some bottles of Windex and Soft Scrub and other S.C. Johnson(R) products, a stack of furnace filters against one wall and the front one always falls over, and probably a vacuum.

Get an artist to paint an airplane crashing through the ceiling and make the propeller the fan.

Here for the airplane angle too Got enchanted by the forest suggestion....so aircraft crashing in a forest!

I'm not sure who needs to know this, but they make angled mounting kits for ceiling fans.

This isn't that type of situation. This room is not meant to be right. It is where only wrong exists. There is a litany of people who allowed this room to exist and they all knew what should have been, but they all allowed this space to come to pass.

This room is meant to not be, but has allowed to be because it is forsaken by the collective creation of humanity.

That poor fan is just waiting to tear itself apart.

Why don't you turn on the fan then lock the door, and call it "the Schrodinger's room". Quantum mechanics says that after a while, the fan is both functioning and broken, spinning in an endless dance of probability.

You will likely hear the fan tear itself apart from outside of the room, such an event is absolutely loud enough to be heard from outside the door, plus the fact that the little bits of fan that are left afterwards will probably continue spinning and likely bumping into the ceiling (if it's hanging from the wires).

If a fan falls in a closed room but nobody is around to hear it, did it make a sound?

What was that noise from upstairs? Probably a murderer!

Is the noise it would make

Yeah, I am very sure the bearings on a fan are not designed to withstand side loads

I call it the depression portal.

Fire would brighten up the room.

For sure. Let insurance buy you a house that wasn't made by a 3rd year architectual design student trying to be different for the sake of being different.

How come nobody has mentioned a walk-in closet yet?!

Aside from aircraft painted on wall, I think put a mattress area on the floor (or comfy seating) and paint a galaxy in glow in the dark paint.

Put in a long clothes rack, boom! walk-in closet

The fan won't last very long, the bearings aren't designed to operate like that. (Even if you don't hit it with your head...)

The fan is there to hang a noose. It's not even plugged in.

Posters of the bright blue sky.

Remove the fan, replace it with a sunlight mimicking fixture.

No, bare socket and bulb hanging from the wire that flickers.

This is the room you keep someone in or cry in, this is not space for a modicum of faux solar joy.

...Does that fan actually do what its meant too?

I'd turn it into a mini theater.

After the third time I hit my head on that damn fan. With a sledgehammer

I would paint it and craft it to make it looks like an ugly flower!

I'd focus on the strange geometry in one corner of the room until a portal opened and I found myself in the realm of the outer gods.

Make it look like an old-timey log mill with the fan as the saw blade.

That's a storage closet, very obviously so. That type of fan being located at that spot makes me also feel like this is a joke.

Ceiling fan is going and a regular fixture put in instead. This seems like a closet or storage room anyway (there are no windows), no real need for a fan like that in a space like this.

I’m not sure exactly, but it’d prob involve some galvanized square steel for framing, borrowed screws from my aunt, and eco friendly wood veneer.

Room?

$1800 a month not including bills.

Yes, but room? It looks like less then half of attic.

Splatter some red paint on the far wall in line with the angled ceiling.

Do you have any ideas? Without any context about your needs or the rest of your house, you will get a bunch of random suggestions that may not apply to your situation. Multiple people have mentioned a room for pets, but we don't know if OP has any pets. We also don't know if OP would benefit more from a small office or an arts and crafts room.

For a couple of seconds I thought it's the Solar Power Plant from X3 Terran Conflict.

Giant van. Slanted wall is the windshield, walls are the doors and back wall is seats. All painted on.

Or a space ship, same vibe.

Gotta be a themed room.

Could also make it the outside of the tardis from doctor who, so it's bigger on the outside but technically the outside is the inside. You are outside the tardis when you are inside the room.

Or do it like harry potters under the stairs cupboard.

If you have pets, I'd say make it a room with a bean bag chair and a bunch of pet beds, (short) cat trees if you have cats, and a small tv for you to watch stuff on. Make it a little cozy hangout spot for you and your dogs/cats.

If not, uh... Closet?

Figure out how to add lights to the fan to create a low poly spinning racoon meme to be able to tolerate the room.

Look up “wall fan with remote” on your favorite shopping site. Tear down that head chopper and put this on the back vertical wall

Hang a mirror over that sink, maybe some dryers, toilet goes in the far right corner.

And yes this is an ICP song….. being a teen in the late 90’s early 00’s be like that. And they put on a hell of a show https://youtu.be/8JsYdpsFVDU?si=tsNyGZTeczCN6_Zd

Take out the fan, and put in a stand fan if needed. I think this is more closet than room, yeah?
