Transforming My Bedroom Into My Dream Space

Last summer I decided I wanted to transform my room to make it into a space that felt like home to me. My room has been through a lot of changes through the years but this has been the most drastic one by far! Your room is a place that should be special to you and make you feel comfortable and happy, so I wanted to make my room a place that reflected me and my style.

So stick by and read this post if you want to find out how I took my room from this:

To this:

Step 1: Paint your room

Pain your room a color that makes you happy and that will easily adjust to any future changes. I painted the room a neutral white because I wanted a color that would go with anything.

Step 2: Change Furniture.

Next, I got rid of all the old furniture in my room. I wanted a complete restart so I decided to remove any old furniture and replace it with new items. Not everyone can do this so instead you could choose to simply refurbish your old furniture into something new! For my room, I wanted to go with all wood furniture for a bohemian chic aesthetic. I also wanted to add a cute fluffy chair to add more depth to the room and create a space that I could have a friend sit in, or I could just relax in.

Step 3: Redo your bed

For my bed, I wanted a low platform bed look. I like the feel of a low to the ground bed because for a small space I feel like it gives the allusion of a larger room. For my duvet, I wanted something simple yet boho that I could enhance with throw pillows and blankets. I chose a combo of blush colors for my decorations because I love the way the colors bring light into my room and make the room feel brighter.

Step 4: Add Decorations

For my decorations, I wanted to continue with the bohemian chic aesthetic to pull the room together. I wanted to keep my decorations simple and minimalistic for a classy and clean look. I chose two tapestries for my walls, a cute peach clock, a body mirror, a wood shelf, fake succulents, candles through the room, a pastel rug and pom-pom curtains to match my pom-pom duvet cover.

Step 5: Redo Closet

When I redid my room I wanted to create an area in my room where I could display my clothes. The closet in my room is tiny and could hardly fit all my clothes so I decided to make one in the corner of my room, so I would have more space and also a place to showcase my love for fashion. I also added woven baskets to place my loungewear in while also adding to the boho look.

Those are the 5 major steps I took to transform my boring room into my boho-chic dream room! I love my room and it’s now become my favorite place to spend time in. Transforming your room can be a rewarding and fun experience, so I suggest if you are currently unhappy with your room to take some time during this quarantine to change it up!
