HELLO! It has been soso long since I have blogged, it almost feels new again, I have been so busy with everything; from work to passing my driving test (yay) anyway, I am going to prioritise my blogging, so here is a blog post about the interiors of my room - I know I love looking at posts like this just because I find it highly satisfies my nosiness and curiosity.
So, where to begin, I will start at my beautiful gallery wall which is the focal point of my room (I know next to nothing about interior design so this looks very show home[y] if you ask me.) The four main colours in my room are pink, grey, white and copper (which I find is so flattering next to the pink as copper has pink tones in it anyway.) Using these colours I found five poster prints from Desenio which complimented my room perfectly, especially in the copper frames. It was hard work to put up, but they now look magnificent on what was once a blank wall. Now is probably a good time to mention the paint on the walls, it is called 'English Muffin' from Crown and after much deliberation (and many paint samples) I finally settled on this warm cream with pink tones which makes my room look so much bigger (a win-win situation.)
Next has to be the bedding, cushions and throw which I actually bought just after Christmas last year and has just been sitting under my bed waiting for me to finally use it. As grey is one of my four main feature colours, the bedding suited the room perfectly. It has a 'knit' pattern on it which is very cool and different. The cushions, bedding and throw were all bought from DFS, but they don't seem to stock any of the products online, maybe because it was so long ago. However, the pink cushion with the gorgeous green leaf print on was only bought recently from a Tiger store in Nottingham and was very reasonably priced at £7.99. The geometric copper lights are from The Range and were around £5 but I can't seem to find these online either.
I like to keep my window-ledge minimalist so I just have a few candles and two cacti on it. The copper candle with the pineapple on is from Primark and smells lovely (it doesn't say what the scent is, but my guess is fresh bedding or something like that as it has a very crisp and fresh smell.) The candles which spell out my name are from ASDA - I believe they still stock them as I saw them in there the other week. The two cacti both came from Homebase in a pack for around £7, including the pots. I like how the black brings something different to the room and is eye-catching. Also on the window-ledge is a fairy statue I was given when I was around four years old and I can't bear to get rid of her yet.
My desk is all Ikea, with the alex drawer underneath. On the desk itself is a copper plant pot bought from Ebay, the plant is again from Ikea. Possibly my favourite part of my desk is my mirror, which we initially bought from The Range but it was wood and not copper, so we did a DIY job and added some copper tape along the sides of the mirror to give it a copper-effect, which worked wonderfully! Again, the copper lamp is from The Range and the copper pot is from ASDA. The little white rustic box which I use to put all my toiletries in is from a charity shop - my mum picked up a set of three for around £3 which is incredible and I really like the way this looks sitting on my desk. I almost forgot to say - my chair adds a modern feel and is actually really comfortable.
My wardrobe from Ikea, I believe it is called the custom 'PAX' wardrobe, in which I customised it with a jewellery drawer (which is extremely helpful - I would recommend this to anyone) four drawers and two rails, and just about I manage to fit my ever-growing collection of clothes inside.
ANYWAY, that's it! A super quick tour of my room. I have created something which I am so proud of - I hope you have enjoyed this too. If there are any specific interior style posts you would like to see then let me know!
