Helpful Home Improvements

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Hello my lovelies! Recently I've been going through a lot of change in my life, moving house, seeing a lot more of some people and less of others, and sometimes change really scares me, as I'm sure it does to lots of you guys. But whether you're going to university or college, moving house or just giving your room a much needed re-vamp, I always find that change can be made more bearable when you're comfortable in your surroundings. So, to help, I love to add my own touch to a new space by sprucing it up with a few of my favourite things and bedroom accessories. Here are a few items I've bought and things I've done to try and personalise my new room.

 
 
 
 
 
I always find a choice bed-cover makes you feel comfortable and at home especially if it's cute, like this one  bought from Argos. It was super cheap and came with a little cushion slip too, adorable! Next are my make-up brushes and felt-tips which are conveniently stored on my window sill in home made containers. This is such a super cheap way to create super duper cute containers to keep things like this in. My make-up brushes are kept in a peanut butter jar (that I obviously cleaned out!) and to finish I added the white ribbon that wrapped up the box of my Tiffany and Co. necklace - I love to re-use things and this was such a brilliant idea (if I do say so myself) that added a little character to my peanut butter jar! Scattered around it again are a few tea-lights my daring Nanan bought for me from Primark that smell simply delightful and look just as good as they smell. If you're anything like me you'll love a good candle. And I love, love, love candles right now (I know, that's a lot of love).  The white one is a beautiful candle that smells like vanilla that my Nanan purchased for me, which is probably from Primark - she adores the place! This blue one is a skittles candle that my friend bought me from B'n'M and it smells like delicious rasberries when burning. Yum!
 

My wardrobe looks even cuter with this adorable little handle cushion I purchased in a winter fete not too long ago for a cheap price. I've been told these things are pretty easy to make too, so if there aren't any fete's where you are, then buy some cute fabric and get stitching! This thing jut intensifies the cuteness of my room by 100% and is very me and personalises my space a lot.
Here are a few memoirs that I like to collect from memorable times in my life. You'll see a lot of tickets from my time in Manhattan, New York last year, concert tickets and little stickers from my favourite stores (Topshop, duhhh) and franchises. By adding all these little things to the inside of my wardrobe, it avoids making my room looking like a cluttered teenagers room, but instead adds my own personal stamp and shows a lot of character. I also love sticking things up and making collages, which is a total bonus!

I hope if you're planning on re-decorating your room, these little home tips will help you, even if it's just a little room-spiration or ideas. Leave me a comment and let me know if you like my bedroom accessories, or, if you have any other ideas of things I could buy for my new room!
