Redecorating your room can be a pretty scary thing, especially if you have absolutely no clue where to start, or if the task seems overwhelming just thinking about it! - Don`t Stress! We have broken down your aesthetic room makeover into these simple and easy-to-follow steps, that will help you achieve your dream aesthetic room makeover in no time at all!  

#1 Choose your Aesthetic:

One of the best starting points for your aesthetic room makeover is to have a clear plan or understanding of what type of room aesthetic you are looking to achieve. There are various types of aesthetics, each with their own unique style and design trends to take inspiration from.  Some of the most popular and trending aesthetic rooms include: Indie Room, Cottagecore Room, Witch Room, Dark Academia Room and Galaxy Room to name just a few! 

 

#2 Declutter your Room

Clean up: Probably the most important and daunting step in your aesthetic room makeover, is to decide what things you would like to keep or get rid of. Put on your favorite aesthetic room playlist and get yourself in the room makeover mood! Get rid of trash or throw away any broken items. 

Donate: Spend some time going through your things and really ask yourself... "do I really need this?" or "is this just taking up too much space?" If your goal is to truly transform your space, you've got to be willing to part with those items that you have grown out of. If you want to be really thorough, sort through everything in your room—all your books, shoes, clothes, pictures, jewelry, makeup, movies, CDs, knickknacks—everything! For items that have sentimental value to you, consider storing them in another room or look at storing them under your bed or closet. That way, they aren’t on display but you can still take them out and look at them when you’re feeling nostalgic.

Organize your space: Put away the clothes you are keeping in your closet and remove any items still on your floor. Put away any school and stationary supplies in desk drawers and take advantage of any storage you have available. Now that you room is decluttered and clean you are all set with progressing to the fun part!     

#3 Choose your Color Palette

Changing the color of your walls and ceiling can make a huge impact on the way your room looks. Choosing a color palette that compliments your room aesthetic will really help give your room aesthetic vibes. Whether you go for a ton of coordinating colors, or keep it simple to just one or two, you should always have one foundation color to ground your room. If your room is generally dark with little natural light, try stick with lighter tones. If natural light is not a problem why not use a bold color for one wall for impact and some more subtle hues for the rest. Make sure to try a couple test areas before you decide to go all out. 

#4 Add Wall + Ceiling Decor 

Once your walls are painted, its time to start adding some wall decor. Wall & ceiling decor can play a huge role in creating an aesthetic vibe to your room.

Before choosing your bedding, throws, and pillows, think of how you would like the fabrics and colors to compliment the rest of the decor in your aesthetic room. Your bed is generally the focal piece of your room, so adding a headboard or swapping out an existing can make your room look totally different. Choose a style that reflects the rest of your space, such as one with curves for a more feminine room or a studded headboard if you have an edgier aesthetic vibe.
