2 Use the “would have something done” passive to talk about things you’d get professionals / other people to do for you to improve X.
I would have the walls painted a new colour.
First look at the difference between the active (what you would do) and the passive (what you would get others to do):
I would make the windows bigger. =I would do it myself.
I would have the windows made bigger. = I would get someone else to come and do it for me.
Look at these further examples of the passive:
I would have a new kitchen installed.
I would have the walls painted different colours.
I would have my motorbike fixed.
I would have a brand-new bath fitted.
3 Use comparatives of convenience to speculate about how these changes would make X better.

To say how the changes you propose would make life better, you should use the following structures:
… then X would be + comparative
… then my university campus would be warmer.
… then my dorm would be more attractive.
… then life would be more convenient .
… then my living room would be more comfortable.
doing X /having X done + would make (something /place) + comparative

Putting up a few pictures on the wall would make my dorm more attractive.
Installing a new kitchen would make life more convenient for me.
