How to Decorate Your Room According to Your Aesthetic
It’s a new season, a new shift…
Your fingers softly trace the surface of your table as you walk towards the door. You slowly turn to look at the room you once called yours. The once lively home now feels empty with only memories of the warmth that once was. With your luggage in hand, you slowly shut the door as a chapter of your life ends.
New year, new season, NEW ROOM!
It happened so fast, but here you are. In this new phase of life, everything feels vague. It’ll take some getting used to, but just before you get used to the external environment, there has to be some form of familiarity, and that begins with your room.
Plain walls, empty table, no form…
This room doesn’t feel like yours just yet, and it’s about time to start giving it that magic touch.

Identifying Your Aesthetic
Identifying your aesthetics begins by first understanding your style, what attracts you, and the colors that reoccur in your clothing, accessories, and overall lifestyle.
A very essential way to know what aesthetics fit you is by creating a moodboard. Using Pinterest boards to curate your favourite images, colors, and the designs that appeal most to you can help you tailor your aesthetics and build your style.
