It looks really nice! Most of my room is Ikea too. One of my favorite stores ever.

...I'd really highly recommend moving your bonsai tree to a window, though. Lightbulbs don't produce the right kind of light to keep them healthy. It might not actually die where you're keeping it (it looks like a Chinese elm, which are pretty sturdy) but it's going to be extremely stressed.

Yeah I know, but the thing is; my heater is under my window, and everyone kept saying to get it away from there because it's not good to have it by your heater, so I put it there until summer comes around... I don't know which is worse, really.

Hmm, that is a problem....

Depending on just how how hot the heater gets, it might not be too bad if you kept a tray of water under the pot so that it doesn't dry out too bad...

....although what would probably be better is to leave it where it is and maybe get a special growing light for it.

You probably did choose the better option though, given the case.

Heh in a month or two I won't be needing my heater anymore and than I will put it back in my window, even in front of the opening one so that it gets fresh air as well. In the mean while it'll have to cope. The closet is right opposite the window though, so although it might not get direct sunlight, it does get a lot of natural light.
