Hello everyone! I get endless compliments on my house, so I want to share my tips and tricks to decorating! Start with a complete blank slate. Only a bed in the room, the furniture will come later.
Side note: If you can't remove any furniture, don't worry! You can work around it and focus on wall art.
First, I worked on my ceiling. Personally, I hate an empty ceiling. To help add some flair, I used different fabrics to drape along the ceiling. You can use long scarfs or recycled fabric! I went to Michaels and got eight yards of four different fabrics. Then I cut them down the middle vertically so I could use the same fabric on different sides. (This is why no furniture makes you life easier) Start with hanging the four different fabrics from the four corners of your room with it ending at the center of the room. I have a chandelier in the center so I made sure the fabric bunched at the base of the chandelier. Once you are done with the corners, start filling in! This is what it looked like when I was done.
Lighting is very important. I loathe overhead lighting, it casts shadows that doesn't make anything look good. A candle warmer is a perfect light for your bedside table, and it makes your room smell good! Again, Marshalls sells flower candle warmers that are so cute. Also, I am obsessed with Turkish lamps. I found one on Amazon for $60, it adds so much character to your space.
Get creative with it! Try to find pieces that you love and incorporate them into your space. Antique stores are a godsend for unique furniture and knick-knacks.
