Room Decoration + Organisation!

Hello everyone! So, if you don't already know, we just moved house recently and I had such a fun time buying things for my room. Now, in my old house, my bedroom wasn't very organised or tidy and so I vowed to myself that I would keep the new house as tidy as possible- well my bedroom at least, and so I've come up with ways to organise my bedroom and make everything neat. I thought I'd share with you some ways I've organised my room and I'm going to throw in some decoration ideas aswell!
DISCLAIMER: I am, by no means, an expert when it comes to decoration and organisation, but I thought I'd share with you things I've learnt during my experience!
 
Don't you just hate it when you have nowhere to put a certain possession without your room looking out of place? Well, in my opinion, deodorant isn't something I would want to display, so I decided to get a little plastic basket to store all my deodorants in. I know this isn't very inventive but it's very effective to store your deodorant neatly and tidily. It prevents them from going all over the place and it's nice to have a clear view of your deodorant storage- i's easy access and it just puts all those annoying things in one place.
 
Basket-Morrisons
I checked the website but I can't find it, here are some cheap and similar alternatives:
 
 
Wait! I found it on Amazon!

 
Continuing with the basket theme, a great way to store your shampoos and shower gels (and your other bath essentials) is to put them in a basket aswell. You can make the basket look pretty by adding seasonal material to it and also adding things like bath bombs to make it colourful and pretty. I know, another simple idea but it works a treat and looks great too!
 
 
Wicker basket- HomeSense
Again, I couldn't find the basket on the HomeSense website so here are some alternatives:
 
 
 
 

Something else I've done is put all my make-up and nail varnishes in a big cardboard (its sturdy don't worry!) chest. The chest is themed around Paris with....calm? Calm colours? I don't know but they're not over the top colours. Neutral! That's the word! he chest has a mix of neutral colours so it matches with every colour. It looks sweet and organises all your make-up without it looking messy or awkward. It looks great open and closed.
 
 
 
 
Chest- TK Maxx
Similars:
 
 
 
 
 
Other themes:
 
 
 
 
 Because I love Paris so much, I decided to have something similar for my desk. I went for a little black box with a theme of Paris. In this, I keep pens, pencils, erasers, rulers and other desk essentials. It is effective, organised and also adds a little something to your work area.
 
 
 

 
 
Box- Not sure but I found some similar ones!
 
 
 
Other themes:
 
Try typing in 'rectangular trinket box'.
 
Now, for storage and decoration, these glass jars from IKEA add a nice decoration to your bedside tables and they store whatever you want. I keep things like face creams and oils in these goblets and not only does it look pretty, but it also saves you from having that out-of-place cream bottle sitting on your dressing table.
 
 
 
Here it is!:
 
A few others...:
 
 

Another way to spice up your house is to spice up your doors! I got this pretty and chic bathroom sign from a random pop-up store but I'm pretty sure you can find similar ones. I think it adds to the plainness of your doors and it also comes in quite handy!
 
Since the shop I purchased this from is unknown, here are some I found, however they are not similar:

 

And who can forget candles! They are so versatile, allowing you to change the scent according to the season. For the Christmas season, you can light your 'marshmallow frosting' or 'Christmas pudding' candles, meanwhile for summer, you can get out the ocean-y ones!
 


 
 My favourite candle brand of all time:
 
And lastly, who could forget a nice seasonal throw. Again you can change it up for any time of the year and it can also add a pop of colour to your bedroom. Get a nice, furry and soft one which would be great for nights in, YouTube binging in your (now) much more exciting bed!
 
I got mine from Wilkinson's some time ago, so I doubt there'll be any left. However, here are some alternatives. Yet again!
 
So that's all now! I hope this has helped you to find some inspiration on how to decorate and organise your room. Thanks for reading! Bye!:)
