So I've filmed a room tour which I'm gonna try and get up and in it I mentioned that I was going to show you how I wanted my new room. Also, I have some tips for budding redecorators, like myself ;)
When I started thinking about doing up my room, everything was all over the place, planning wise! I knew if I wanted my mum and dad to take me seriously, I had to really do my homework, so I made a little booklet with absolutely EVERYTHING I needed because some measurements were here and there as with furniture and everything else, so I'm glad its all in one place now :) Just grab some A4 paper, fold it and staple.
What I want my room to reflect is very vintage. I think vintage is so so so so cute! I also made a brief for myself in this book. Honestly I'm so dramatic!
"To create a vintage inspired room with shabby chic white furniture and really really cute accessories, whilst incorporating pretty storage and doing it bit by bit on a budget"
-me, being melodramtatic in my book
That's what I want my room to look like.
TOP TIP!
Something I found useful was taking pictures of my "areas for improvement" just like a school report and writing down what in that area needed sorting. This massively helped me out!
I also looked for furniture on the computer & printed those out and stuck them in the book, so I could visualise everything.
2 TOP TIPS!
Find a measuring tape. This is your new buddy! You gotta measure everything you find on the computer against your room where you wanna put it and write it down! You gotta do your homework or else no one will take you seriously. What if none of it fits?
Also if you find furniture on a website that you kinda doubt- stick to your guns. While its mostly fab, internet shopping can rob people who put in their credit card details on a dodgy website.
I LOVE accessories! They make a room. If your really properly strapped for cash, get some gorge accessories. Or failing that buy DIY for Dummies.
