room 302.

 about 2 years ago i decided, hey lets redo my bedroom. but it has not worked out that way due to money.
i am looking to redo everything cheap and have had the same idea in mind for a long time.

my end goal was to have a dark red color on all of the walls with a somewhat antique and modern mix for the rest of the room.
i wanted all black or dark wood furniture or possibly a black cast iron bed and all of the fabric to be white. i already have various art that my friend is willing to make for me or has already made that matches this idea.

my thing is that my parents think that these colors are wayyyy too dark or completely horrible. i really have no problem with this since if i had my way, i would have as little natural light as possible. i really like things to be dark. i have 2 windows in my room though and when i painted the room, the color came out completely wrong and is now more of a bright red, which i hate. i was thinking more of a deep red or a reddish/purple.

i have no idea if this color is too dark or how to pull it off and i cant find a room that looks similar to what i want online so i can show my family that the idea in my head wont come out horrible.

is this too dark or does anyone have anything visual that is close to what i want?

I've lived in this apartment for almost seven years now and I have never figured out what to do with my room. The room is a generally odd shape and there's a back door in it. I also have to have space for the cat litter box, food and ect. Right now it's painted this horrible green and orange color scheme, I don't even know what I was thinking when I did it. And I don't have a bed. So I sleep on the floor.

My style is like French Cafe mixed with modern and not so modern east asian flair. None of my furniture matches really because it's hand me down. I also collect things like owls and have 45792843573 books so I need room for all of that.
