A look into my room!

Minimalism is the future!

When I moved back home after 3 years, I could see reflections of my old self in my room. With wall-hangings and a heavy bed set, there were elements which were overwhelming. I decided to change that and introduce minimalistic elements to make the room feel more open and manageable. I also made sure not to have a headboard because I wanted the space to feel more open.

Design Elements

Small elements can really compliment your theme. I chose a subtle floor rug to compliment my wooden floor and used a plain wooden side table for my books and table clock. It all came together to create a more modern space. I added a palm in the corner to add a bit of colour and an acrylic painting, which incorporated the colour scheme of the room.

Lighting

I added lamps where I thought I would spend more time reading, so a pedestal over my couch and a focused light over my bed pillow, making sure I had ample light to read or work.
Lights can also help create drama. if used appropriately, lights can create a mood for your room, making it more alive. I always make sure that I avoid ceiling lights because they seldom compliment your design sense, so spotlights and lamps are a great option. Also, please always select warm colours in your light selection. White is a big no!

Linen

I’m not happy with my choice of bed linen but I was adamant on not investing a lot in my renovation. I’ve mostly used old pieces that I had before. Sometimes moving around furniture and swapping pieces from different rooms can create an entirely different and new feel to your space. I would recommend a plain coloured bed sheet with pillow cases and a subtle print on the duvet.

Pick what you like because living with a trend that is not you is never a good choice

I got this gorgeous cushion as a gift from a friend who bought it from Finland. I love the pattern on it and it has such an extraordinary personality.
