Nothing ruins a happy morning or day like a scattered and uninspiring room. A room should be a personal space that exudes comfort, peace and inspiration. Sometimes having the same old furniture can get boring, coupled with some disorganized hangings around the room that can literally keep your mind clouded.
But you can revamp your living space by taking out time to infuse your favorite colors, themes and inspiration that keeps you waking up with a clear and unique space. The essence of having a clear and inspiring room isn't just about the decoration, but more about the effect it has on your life, mind and soul.
Go easy, start with the resources you have and revive your room with these decor tips.
Having a theme for your room creates a clear compass and allows you to choose the right furniture, decorations, pillows, wall papers and other additions for your room. To create a theme, start by working with your favourite colors, nature, or other things that may interest you. You can find inspiration for such ideas by viewing home decor magazines, browsing platforms like Pinterest, advice from experts or friends, and also by exploring some furniture stores.

While themes are highly recommended, don't get overly obsessed about using the same colors at every corner of your room.
Flowers have the potential to bring life to a living room. Think sunflowers, white flowers and even roses. Flowers are not just for special occasions, but they can be stylishly displayed in different creative ways to make them stand out. Before choosing the flowers to use for your room, consider other factors like flower or plant care and the right conditions that help them live long enough.

3. AN INSPIRATIONAL WALL Constantly looking for inspiration? Well, you can create an inspirational wall to help you stay focused on your dreams and goals. Include your favourite frames, wall art, quotes, wallpapers, pictures of your dream vacation spots, role models, a letter to your future self and more. Keep it as simple and inspiring as possible.
Sometimes, a central lighting isn't enough. Consider building layers of lighting in key sections of your room to spark up more life to the entire space. For the night time, night stands would work perfectly to avoid excess light on the eyes.

5. A COLLECTION OF THINGS YOU LOVE [INCLUDING BOOKS]
Your shelf or decor stand doesn't have to be filled with only books. This is a great way to incorporate items you've gathered over the years, including souvenirs from different countries, your go-to books, flowers, vases and other decorative items that will keep you constantly inspired.
Adding a reading space in your room can help you stay inspired to work. Make sure your reading space is simple with the right organizational items to help you stay motivated while you work. Depending on your room size, consider creating a reading space right next to your inspirational wall to get your mind on your goals even when you lose focus. Your reading space should have the right table and chair to avoid slouchy positions while you work.
7. ORGANIZE WITH STORAGE BOXES/SHELVES
When it comes to having a spacious and clean room, storage boxes can do the trick, especially for all the items, clothes, jewellery, shoes and products that need to be stored. Having an organized room and storage compartment will help you feel calm and in control as you go about your daily routine. This helps with proper organization and overall productivity.
8. MAKE YOUR BED VERY COMFORTABLE Nothing beats a comfortable and peaceful bed with the right cozy pillows and fresh bed sheets. In order to enjoy the ambiance and comfort of your room, you'll need to make your bed work for you. Pick out a foam, the right sets of pillows and cover sets that will always keep you in the right zone.
