How you choose to decorate your own space primarily reflects you as a person. It shows how you feel and live. Your room décor is more than just having a pretty room. Multiple elements go into the experience of your space, and they all have an important influence on the way we relate and are connected to our surroundings. Moreover, a dully decorated room will create an equally dull mood for you and whoever is in the room.

1. You need to pick the furniture of the right size and you can start out by having a floor plan and a measured drawing of your room. Furniture should always fit its space, cramped tables and bed will never look adequate. If you have a small room, then go for a light, smaller bed and dresser. If you have a high ceiling, a tall headboard would be suitable to bring it to size. Moreover, your room should not look cramped with furniture, leave an ample amount of space between them for the wall to shine through as well.

2. While white is a standard color for walls, you can also choose a subtle color palette that you like and that suits the room as well. Choosing soothing shades and monochromatic tones is always a better option than bold primary colors. Gentle pastel shades of green, blue, and lavender are known to be serene and calm. Rich shades, for example, navy blue and emerald green, are considered to make your room feel cozier and more comfortable. It is necessary to choose the right colors as they can impact your mood, enhance the ambiance and overall affect the person’s emotions.

3. Including the right amount of lighting is equally important. It is important to have layers of lighting that are not too strong but still illuminate every important nook and corner of the room. Ambient lighting can be chosen to brighten up the whole room. Small lamps are mostly used to focus light on a more minimal goal or activity, such as reading. The amount of light needed should be adjustable with the help of a dimmer and also have separate switches to be selective with lighting.

4. Your room should be a reflection of you and your interests, so include a private nook. Think of it as a little treat for yourself to self-indulge into a peaceful time with your hobbies such as reading or knitting. The key point to focus on is comfort. It can be a cozy chair at the end of your bed or by the window.
