Our generation has been labelled as an “Indoor generation” as we spend most of our time in indoor activities. And Indeed, there is nothing as comfortable as one’s home but often we neglect to design and décor our own territory.
Psychologists say that our external environment affects our mental state and even the color and furniture of our room end up fluctuating our mood. You don’t need an interior designer to do this, we all have a designer hidden inside us who knows what he wants.
Here is an easy and economical guide to creating your own little kingdom while staying on budget.
#1. Furniture
There is only one thing on which there is no comprise and that is your room furniture. One doesn’t buy these products on a daily basis so one has to choose wisely what to buy and from where to buy. Instead of buying expensive furniture use promo codes and coupons to get discounts on your favorite products.
Room furniture should always be comfortable. If you are buying a couch then it should be soft and big enough for you to rest.
One other point to consider is that before buying furniture, try to introspect what kind of a person you are. For example, there are some people who are attracted to antique and vintage furniture while others prioritize contemporary furniture designs.
So, it is totally at your discretion what designs to buy.
#2. Paintings and pictures
There is always something we love enough to see it all day. Whether they are portraits of your loved ones or posters of your favorite films, hanging them on the walls of your room can a have a therapeutic effect on your mind. So, it is wise to buy frames and paintings to display them in your room.
#3. Window
When your house is small and it doesn’t have windows it can cause suffocation which can potentially lead to irritation and discomfort. So, it is wise to have a proper ventilation system or exhaust in your room and kitchen.
#4. Color Combination
According to our own energy, we naturally vibe more with some colors. Analyze and observe what colors make you feel energetic and happy, then paint the walls of your room with your personal favorite shades.
#5. A special corner
We all have different hobbies: Some love reading books while others love dressing up in their leisure time. It is wise to have a proper table for all the stuff you need for your leisure time activity. Make a special little corner in your room with all the accessories and you won’t ever get bored.
#6. Fairy lights and lamps
Lamps and fairy lights are readily available in the market. They are the most effective and cheap investment. Especially, if you are a night person, your room lighting should be cozy and warm enough to make you feel more alive.
#7. Do it yourself

#8. Curtains and sheets
Pay attention to all the things in your home. It is vital that the fabric of your curtains and bedsheets should be of high quality and good design.
