Hey, I hope this reply is not too late ;) 

Well, if you can't afford a new wall color, you don't have to do it anyways, for not having white walls doesn't mean that you can't have a nice room. I'm also running out of budget when I decided to clean up and redecorate my room, so I totally understand that. From my own experience, I think that you should start off with decluttering and even de-owning your stuffs (you can get a better idea of how to declutter your room here) After cleaning up your room and knowing exactly what to keep and what to give up, try to organize things (for example use boxes to store clothes, old textbooks, paper; use trays, jars to present small cute things or gifts, makeups and jewelry). And then let's start with the decorating part. Do you have any books that you can’t get enough of and that you always want to re-read no matter how many times you've flipped through them? Do you have any photos that captured the moments you love the most and that you want to show to other people who come into your room? Do you have any favourite quote that inspires you everytime you look at it? (Print them out or even write them down yourself if you have great handwriting) Do you have any old furniture that you want to get rid of them and buy a new one but you're on a budget and your budget doesn't allow you to do so? I used to be in this situation and believe me, there's much more to do than throwing it away: change the color, present things on its surface so that you can lead people's eyes to something prettier that the furniture itself, or try some DIY projects that you can easily find on the internet. 

lights in, stress out.
