My Room Decor

  Hello, friends! I love interior decorating and designing my room. It's so fun! I feel like your room is a reflection of yourself and your style, so you should design it to fit who you are. My room is my little cozy spot in the world and I am going to be sharing it with you today in hopes to give you some inspiration on room decor and such! Alas! Here's my room! 


This is my bed! I have a white bedspread, because I love how clean and crisp it looks. I feel like it really brightens up the space and lets the light coming in through the window reflect towards the rest of the room. 

Over my headboard, I have some string lights that are gorgeous and transform the space. I love string lights! I definitely recommend trying them in your room, because they're just gorgeous. 

My pillow is from Ikea and I like that it adds a pop of color and it's quirky. 

In addition to my pillow, at the base of my bed is a large blue throw blanket that adds color and a cozy element to my bed. 


I wanted to show you these books that are on my bookshelf, because I think they're great. I have a lot of books, but I only keep a few on display. When decorating your room, try to add some pretty, colorful books stacked on a bookshelf or by your nightstand. They're convenient and add a lot of color!


This is my dresser! I'm not going to show you every single thing on it, but I just keep a few essentials on top. However, there is a tray in the middle, which I have a blog post on styling! 

I hope you enjoyed this post! If you have any decor ideas, feel free to share them in the comments below!

Room Decor Ideas

  Hello, friends! I love decorating my room and I have definitely changed and added decor over the years. I wanted to share a decor idea that I love and some tips on how to design it. 
 

  On top of my dresser, I have placed this colorful tray filled with some objects that I use everyday and love to have displayed. Rather than placing a bunch of objects on top of a surface, separating them with a tray like this instantly organizes the space and adds a pop of color. I got this tray from Target. 

  I placed some of my essentials on this tray, including these gorgeous perfumes that serve both for fragrance and decoration. 

  I also have a little tray in the middle filled with bobby pins and earrings (functional and pretty). You can't see it, but I also have a pretty, gold necklace laying in the tray. 
  
  There are some beauty products like a hand cream, eye drops, and a couple lipsticks in the tray, as well.

  To add a pop of color, I have a fake daisy in a white vase in the back.

  When creating a tray like this, try to incorporate functional, yet attractive pieces and organize them the way you want. I recommend adding bits of color and greenery (fake flowers, pictures of flowers) to liven it up and make it look fresher.

  You can add all sorts of things to these trays and place them all over your space! Just make sure that you're not over-cluterring them. I recommend including picture frames, beauty products, trinkets, sunglasses, etc. to these.

  I hope you enjoyed this room decor post and let me know if you would like to see more of these!
