Giving Your Bedroom a Makeover
It’s been over a year since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and for many of us Gen-Zers that means we’ve had to move in back with our parents and spend much of our time in our childhood rooms. If you haven’t yet spruced up your space since you’ve outgrown it, then take this as your sign to do so!
Especially, after doing some spring cleaning, switching up your room decor can energize your space and breathe new life into it. Here are 5 simple and easy ways to freshen up your bedroom.
1. Declutter
Before beginning your bedroom makeover, take some time to declutter. If you haven’t already re-evaluated the objects in your space this year, then it may be time to try the KonMari method to determine what is no longer serving you. Don’t forget to be conscious of how you are disposing of your objects! Consider selling online or donating it to a locally-owned thrift store.
2. Get creative with your shelves
Invest in some shelves. Consider getting some floating shelves for that minimalistic, clean and relaxed look.
3. Fill your walls with art
Whether you’re looking to display calming artwork or find pieces that resonate with your style, art is an easy way to fill up the blank space and make your space feel more true to you. Check out Etsy for art prints and original works to support small artists!
4. Bring in a tray
If you keep your lotion, perfume, deodorant, candles or any other personal belongings on your vanity or dresser, create the illusion of being put together by bringing in a tray! Trays are an easy way of making your space look more organized, and if you don’t want to drop money on one, check out your local thrift shops!
5. Bring in potted plants or fresh flowers
If you struggle with keeping plants alive, there are plenty of plants that are easy to maintain. And, if you’re not into succulents, look into plants that can survive in low light. But, if dealing with a plant is too much for you, don’t sweat it! Another way to bring some liveliness into your space is by purchasing fresh flowers or cutting some from nature, especially now as we’re deeper into spring.
