R - Furniture

So recently I've started taking an interest in furniture. I mean I always liked it, a nice bed or a comfy couch would always catch my eye but I never really thought that much about it. Having an awesome room can really influence your lifestyle.
My favourite kind of furniture is antique. It costs a bit more but it looks so much better and gives a real olden day kinda feel. Or if you don't want to spend the money and get real antiques nowadays you can go and buy fakes. They look like the real thing but just cost less :) I like colourful furniture too. Just looking at it makes me feel so happy.

There's heaps of stuff you can do to add that little something extra to your room.
Since I don't have a big enough room to actually do most of this stuff I thought I'd share the and maybe someone else will give them a shot.
1. Get a double bed. I spose its a teeny bit sad that I still sleep on a single bed but there you have it.
2. Get a fabulous mirror or two or three. I say you can never have too many mirrors. Instead of getting just a simple rectangle shaped one, although I'm not saying there's anything wrong with them, try a more unusual abstract shaped one.

3. Go to a hardware store, buy string lights (as in lights on a string, ruh) and hang them on your wall to spell out a word. It could say your name, your favourite word but no matter which word you pick it'll be sure to look fabbity fab.
4. I'm not sure if this ones actually possible but apparently you can buy clock mechanics, I heard they're in Spotlight, and you attach it to an old record or cd and voilĂ  you have a new clock.
5. Plomp a lounge in your room or a day bed. Even though they might take up a bit of room it adds a little bit of comfort and they look good too
6. If you have a tall ceiling then go and buy a Chandelier!! They look sooooo cool and honestly why wouldn't you want a chandelier in your room.
7. Stick photos all over your walls or cupboard door. They add a little personality to your room and you'll be sure to never forget how hot you and your friends are :) Or if you don't want to use photos posters, drawings, newspaper clippings; well practically anything will look just as good. Don't be afraid of using different patterns together either.
