One of my favorite parts about going to a college away from home is being able to decorate my room each year. Depending on how much money you're willing to spend, you get to choose a new color palette, new comforter, new trinkets to display around the room, and new artwork! I always tell friends that if I could make money off interior decorating like Chip and Joanna Gaines do with flipping houses, I'd do it in a heartbeat! But alas, it usually depends on who you know and where you're located. That being said, my bedroom is my oasis that I can change or rearrange anytime I want, even if life isn't always as flexible as my room decor. Here are a couple things I already have on my list for my room next year!
1. A fur rug.
This one really depends on preference, but every single picture I see of a room with a fur rug is SO CUTE. But it has to be faux fur, of course!
2. Symmetrical art groupings.
I'd probably either use black and white photos from my trips to Savannah, GA or Costa Rica. But I'm also thinking about using really chic fashion photos! Either way, symmetrical art groupings are just so clean and they look great!
3. A neon sign.
I'd probably find one for the kitchen or the living room. Neon signs are really "in" as a decoration. They're not only edgy, but there also add something extra to the atmosphere. Plus, if I'm being honest, it makes me think of the movie "Nerve" during the scene where they're walking through the neon-lit entrance to the tattoo parlor!
4. ALL the throw pillows!
I know this is something that really bugs a lot of men about their wives or girlfriends, but an obsession with throw pillows isn't strange! They're super cute, they make things comfier, and it's fun to just fall into them after a long day. Plus you can mix and match, bringing in different prints and colors.
5. Succulents.
I couldn't remember to keep up with caring for a real one, but thank the Lord for Target because they sell fake succulents!
Those are five new things I hope (let's be honest, I plan) to add to my bedroom/apartment next year! And I still have until August to add more to the list!
