Someone wise once said, ‘Your Living space can make the difference in setting up your mood’, well I said that because I like to keep my living space simple and plain but recently I felt the need for a change. I knew I wanted to bring more life to my room but not make it too much. I personally believe putting too many elements in one place uses up space and complicates the theme. Given that I already have a bedroom set up and do not want to change it entirely, I want to amp it up efficiently in a budget, so what do I do? Perhaps a visit from sites like Rattan Garden Furniture might help.
- Fill up the walls
The first and best way to start is to reconsider your walls. My walls are off white with a few hangings so adding up photo frames would definitely make a change. The kind of frames I would like to put up, motivational quotes, favourite pictures of a location or myself or may be make a fashion mood board of my own; you could make a mood board in your field of interest. I want a lot of natural light so I got a big window from the windows dublin store.
- Add lights
LED lights are such a mood lifter, it gives you a warm and cozy feeling plus they work well in any budget. I put up LED Downlights on the outline of a window next to my bed and it makes my bedtime book reading so relaxing. If you are a candle lover, you could go all out putting in anywhere around. Step it up even more with Village Wax Melts.
- Keep Valuables
I keep a few books, nicely arranged on my bedside; it’s always a reminder to do the reading and makes a great beside accessory too. I need water next to me at all times so I also have a bronze water bottle. I also like to add flowers or a plant (air purifier) next to my bed; it makes the aura very refreshing.
- Shelf – life
The value principle also applies to my shelves, I add pieces with special memories gifted to me or a souvenir bought during travel. I rarely shop for pieces in a store to put up in my room, there’s no story to it otherwise right? If you’re looking to add meaningful touches to your space, consider where to shop for butcher block countertops for your business.
- Change the colour theme
Want to change your colour theme? Then changing your curtains with a new colour will bright up your room and shift the aesthetics. If not, you could only paint up your ceiling with a different colour to set a mood in your room. But I was looking for a quicker option so I did this by adding a dark carpet positioned centrally in my room and it works well with the other colour accents.
- Re – use space
If you are less on space and have any extra things that don’t add value to your room, de-clutter it and consider making your furniture multi purpose. Like having drawers in your bed for storage purpose, I luckily have this already and it makes room for my shoes, my extra bed sheets and many other things to be stored here. Have your mirror attached to your study/work table or on the door of your cupboard to save space.
These are some of the basic ideas that I went by while redecorating my room. You could use these ideas for your workspace or your living room like I did to my bedroom. You could also add furniture like an armchair or a dressing table or have luxury doors made at swdbespoke.com depending on your space. I would love to hear if you’ve got other ideas for me!
