EWOT Goggles #4 - 10/2

This weekend, my roomate, my friend and I went to Walmart to buy a rug and a futon for our room. Unforunately, we were only able to buy the rug because the futon was too expensive. When we got back to the room, we put the rug down and the room looked a whole lot better than it did before. This got me thinking about how our room is compared to other rooms. While our room is certainly nice, there are some other pretty kick-ass rooms on our hall. But what makes a room nice? Is it the way it looks and the way everything is set up? Or is it the stuff in the room? Or, is it a little bit of both? Are more expensive rooms automatically better than rooms set up more cheaply? Or can rooms that have less expensive stuff look nicer than rooms with more expensive stuff? I guess my question is, is there a correlation between the aesthetics of the room and the price value of the room in terms of everything that's in it?
