I am a girl who desperately wants to have a Pinterest-perfect room but can't, because I'm lazy.
So, I am going to pass my knowledge on to you, who is not lazy, so you can ELEVATE YOUR ROOM.
1. Clean!
Step 1, the base of all: clean and declutter!
If your room is already clean—no, it isn’t. Go clean it now.
If you’ve got a bunch of stuff you don’t want, make three boxes: keep, sell, donate. Think it through!
2. Make a mood board
What do you want your room to be? You can make a board like it on Pinterest for inspiration.
Make it realistic; high expectations will crush you.
3. Divide it into chunks
Got small sections in your room? Like a study table, bed, or art area?
Go to the one you hate the most. Rearrange it a bit. Add some flair.
Then move to the next one when you’re happy with it. Makes the task way more doable.
4. Thrift
Thrifting is love. Thrifting is life.
If you don’t thrift home decor? I feel bad for you. You can’t complain about being poor—thrifting is so cheap!
But you do need time. Look through everything—you never know when you’ll hit the jackpot.
I personally found 3 really aesthetic home decor pieces that I have to share:
-
A clay statue of a super detailed heart
-
A heart ornament
-
A vintage white ornament
...but I broke them. Shame on me.
5. Posters
Go make or buy posters that match your vibe! Simple but powerful.
6. Nature
Plants are your best friends.
Can’t be trusted with real ones? Same. Get fake ones.
I bought 1 vine for a dollar, hung it on my bedframe, and now it feels so much more magical.
7. Fairy lights
Do I even need to say anything? Honestly, try not to use big white lights; use the yellow lights, fairy lights, candles, or LED lights. But if big lights are what you vibe with, go for it, they don't really cost too much and are cool.
8. important
Your room doesn't need to impress anyone, it doesn't need to be Pinterest worthy, it doesn't need to be following all the temporary trends, it needs to be YOU, it needs to contain your personality, your history, not some other girl's
on social media.
I hope this helps!
