Decorate Your Room With These 4 Tips

Looking to spruce up your room a bit? Everyone has different tastes and likes different styles but these four tips will make every room just a little bit better. A room really doesn’t feel like your space until you add these four things to decorate your room.

Decorate your walls

Plain walls are like empty canvases waiting to be painted. Decorate your room with some art will give your room that extra spark. Add some art that means something to you or something that represents your style. Here are a few ideas of how to complete your room with art and other accessories:

• Hang photos of family and friends
• Create your own paintings or drawings to display
• Hang a tapestry across your wall
• Add a decal wall quote
• Paint one wall in your room
• Add some shelves to your wall

Lighting

When decorating a room, we tend to forget about lighting. Lighting is such a small fix that can make the biggest difference. There are different types of lighting (ambient, task, and accent) and using an array of different types can make for the perfect lighting combination. Here are a few ideas of how to decorate your room with lighting:

• Add some candle around the room – candles can be displayed in so many different ways!
• Use strings of Christmas lights

Add texture

Adding texture to a room can give it warmth and depth. Here are a few ideas of how to decorate your room with texture:

• Add an interesting rug or fluffy blanket
• Add a pattern to a wall
• Include some wicker baskets
• Use molding to add texture

Add something you love

After all, it is YOUR room so why not add a little personal touch? Here are a few ideas of how to decorate your room with something you love:

• Display a souvenir from an awesome vacation
• Frame a photo of your best friends or family
• Make art out of your hobby (hang ballet shoes, create a bookshelf, keep your guitar out)
• Create a goals board
