Re-decorate your room with these easy tips. Because why not?

Haven’t we all been living in a sanctuary we call our room?

I think right from the moment you realize having a personal room is a reality, we have all pined for one. Being an Indian kid who belongs to a middle class family with like multiple numbers of siblings, owning your own is a dream come true.

Luckily for me though, I just have one younger brother who stays far away from my room which gives me a lot of freedom and independence. But I recently realized how for the past 1 year my room has looked exactly the same – the walls, the position of all the furniture and honestly if I could describe it in one way it would be – plain and boring. I’d love to be able to hire an interior designer but we can’t all afford one!

So, I decided to make a few changes and they completely changed how my room looked.

·         Reposition all the furniture in your room, especially your bed.

·         Buy new and colourful sheets that go well with the colour of your room and make it look bright. The walls in my room are painted white and green, I earlier had sheets in the colours white and blue mainly and I switched to – oranges, reds, and yellow and it really brightens up the room.

·         If there is an empty wall in your room, cover it up with pictures or beautiful frames! You can also cover the wall with tapestries to give your room a bohemian vibe.

·         Clean out your wardrobe and donate your old clothes, this will create a lot of space.

·         Organize all the scattered items into boxes and label the boxes. Use the boxes as a bed side table to put things on.

·         Change the lighting in your room! Haul out those old diwali lights and put them on the walls of the ceiling in a dramatic fashion.

·         Get a rug. I love sitting down by the door of the balcony in my room and reading a book occasionally. This is one of the best additions I have made, my room looks cozier now.

·         Decorate your mirror. Cover it with fake flower petals or put lights around it, this will also provide better lighting around the mirror!

·         Buy new curtains that correspond well with the sheets and colour of your room!
