How do you want to feel when you step into your room? Do you want to feel calm? Relaxed? Filled with energy? These are all factors to think about when giving your room an aesthetic appeal. A room that is decorated with love creates a sense of calm. Actually, the look of our homes have a greater impact on our well-being than we often realize. So, with that said, how do you make your room aesthetic?
1. Start with a Vision Board
Before you start your journey to an aesthetic home, it’s important to gather inspiration and create a vision board. A vision board is a collage of pictures, colors and ideas to bring into your home. This is important for you to be able to keep a clear path towards your end result. I think a vision board is the best way for you to keep an eye on the finish line. It is also something I personally love to use when I redecorate in my home.
Furthermore, to create a vision board, gather images, colors, textures and decor ideas to inspire you and reflect the vibe you want to create in your space. This way you can also see if it is a style that you actually like, if the different aspects work well together or if you want to change anything.
2. Choose a Coherent Color Palette
Making your room look nice is easy when you pick colors that go well together. The first step in choosing the right color palette for your unique style is to choose two or three main colors. These colors should look great together and be the colors making the room look cohesive. When you are choosing these colors, think about how you want your room to feel? Do you want to feel calm when entering the room or full of energy?
Dark and moldy colors, like green and blue will make your room feel calm, while bright and bold colors make your room full of energy. However, if you rather want something timeless, go for neutral colors like white or beige. These colors will never go out of style and give you more color options to play with when decorating your home.
3. Declutter and Organize
Picking the right colors or making a vision board is great, but not enough to make your room aesthetic. An aesthetically pleasing room is an organized and decluttered room, without an overload of stuff. Therefore the next step is to declutter your room. First, go through all your things and decide what you should keep and what you no longer are in need of. Then, find places for what you want to keep, using for example baskets.
Imagine stepping into a room where there are loads of stuff everywhere. It might be tidy, as tidy as it can be, but the room does still feel cluttered. In that room you can never relax. Instead, imagine a decluttered room where everything is well organized in boxes and drawers. The room looks aesthetic and tidy. In this room you instantly feel a sense of calm. You also know exactly where to find your belongings. However, decluttering can often feel overwhelming, but there are different strategies you can use to make it a little easier.
4. Invest in Quality Bedding
Your bed is the main focus in your room, so make it comfy and stylish. Invest in quality bedding made of soft, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. In addition, choose soothing colors or fun patterns to match your room’s vibe. Also, add lots of fluffy pillows in different sizes and textures for extra coziness. At last, throw on a warm blanket and finish with a stylish duvet cover. With these touches, your bed becomes a luxurious sleep haven you’ll adore.
5. Play with Textures
Adding different textures to your room makes it more cozy and inviting. Try mixing soft rugs, plush velvet cushions, woven baskets, and shiny accents. These textures create depth and make your room feel dynamic. Plus, they’re nice to touch and look at. So, have fun experimenting with textures to make your room inviting, enjoyable and unique to you!
6. Add Statement Lighting
Good lighting can instantly improve your room. It’s like magic! Consider adding statement lighting fixtures that not only brighten your space but also look stylish. You could choose a big pendant light, a tall floor lamp, or a chic table lamp. As a result, these lighting options adds personality and drama to your room, making it feel more stylish and unique.
With the right lighting, you can create different moods – bright and lively during the day, and cozy and relaxed at night. So, remember to think about lighting when decorating your room!
7. Bring in Natural Elements
There are lots of benefits by incorporating natural elements in you room. The integration of indoor plants, fresh flowers and natural materials does not only make your room look aesthetically pleasing, but also improves your mental and psychical health. Indoor plants is important for especially the air quality of your room. By following the principles of Biophilic design, you connect with nature and enhance your well-being.
8. Curate a Gallery Wall
To make your room more personalized you can create a gallery wall to decorate your walls. To begin, gather artwork, photos and prints that you really like. Then, mix these to create a unique display. To add variety and make the gallery wall more interesting, use different sizes and frames. It all depends on the feeling you want to achieve. This gallery wall will give you the chance to share your interests and memories with others who visit. As a result, your space becomes more personalized and inviting, allowing guests to connect with you on a deeper level.
9. Style with Thoughtful Accessories
Now for my favorite part, accessories. These are important to make your room reflect your unique style. A great way to find unique accessories is to shop second hand. Maybe you can find a special vase or a beautiful book that you can use as decoration, the options are endless. However, remember not to overload with accessories since it quickly adds up and look cluttered, just keep it simple and pick the accessories carefully.
10. Personalize Your Space
Lastly, make your room truly yours by adding personal touches and meaningful decor. For example, it can be something you bought on a vacation or just some personal photos. These items hold special memories and make you smile every time you look at them, giving the whole room a warm feeling. Your room should be a reflection of you and the things making you happy, therefore, let your personality shine through your decor.
