A few recent decor and organisation changes I’ve made lately that have made a BIG difference:
I got this new bedding set from Winners. The light yellow and grey pattern brightens up the whole room, which I think is really important when it’s so cold and dark still. The bamboo wall decals are from Ikea and the wall has a sage green paint in a ragged on effect.
I used to have a chair here in the bedroom that always ended up COVERED in clothes. So I took out the chair and added some functional storage instead. In the wicker chest (from Winners) I keep spare bed linens and in the Ikea small storage boxes, I keep off season shoes and other odds and ends. The pillow is also from Ikea and I have decorated it with pins that I’ve gotten all around the world whilst travelling. The slipper booties are from Penningtons.
Last, I have filled this Ikea candle dish with white pillar candles, a random votive candle and a scented (Chai Spice) candle that I received for Christmas. It also has a collection of decorative stones and a wooden heart that I’ve received over the years. It makes cold, dark nights so much brighter and warmer!
What are you’re favourite ways to spruce up your living space in the winter?

/ February 1, 2014Oh my, those bamboo wall decals are so pretty! I love the candle tray as well. I think my next project is to get some sort of small night stand or basket for next to the bed… I still don’t have one even though I’ve lived in this apartment for over a year, so I usually end up throwing my magazines on the floor next to the bed like a slob. 😛

/ February 1, 2014Haha, yeah, next-to-the-bed storage is so useful! I actually keep all my night time skin products in mine, so I never have the excuse “I’m too tired to do skincare tonight” haha. 🙂
