Top 10 Ways to Use Art in Your Room (Day 1)

Right. I've decided to make an experiment.


I am going to write one blog a month and see if by promoting it using Facebook and Twitter only I can increase my almost-non-existent readers!

If you are one of them, thank you dearly, and I hope that you are enjoying your reading :)

So...

Making an Experiment: Post Number 1 

Top 10 Ways to Use Art in Your Room

Let me base my first blog post on art, and more specifically, on how to make your room arty and enjoyable to be in.

1. Put printed photos on the wall

This option for a home-made art is the cheapest and simplest! You don't even have to order them (although they are £0.10-0.30 from most e-stores for photo printing) - just use a printer!
You can put your favourite memories, your dreams or your goals on the walls and make your room look awesome at the same time :)

2. Cut out some photos or images from magazines

Just get a free magazine from any store like ASDA, Tesco, or a catalogue from IKEA. You can frame them to make them look nicer, but you don't have to. Just use a double-sided tabe, blue tack or normal sellotape and you'll get yourself a nice colourful wall! 

3. Use a jewellery stand

If you are a girl of course! The ones that are metal are surprisingly cheap and durable! You can get a meta jewellery stand for around £10-15 from eBay or Amazon. So stylish and convenient to avoid that jewellery mess!

4. Get yourself a flower pot

A piece of nature is always nice to have! Those beautiful flowers from the image are called Froget-Me-Not, isn't that sweet? And they are around £5-10.

5. Put on colourful bed sheets

I absolutely loved that picture! It's so colourful and mood-stimulating :) And judging by the webstie source aliexpress.com, those bed sheets should be quite cheap. Nice and arty, from China with love!

6. Get a paper lamp

A dim light will make your room a very relaxing place to be in! Paper lamps are a cheap, arty solution for plain ceilings! And they can be found for under £5 from eBay or Amazon!

7. Get some quotes

I am all about self motivation and inspiration! Quotes are a fast (and cheap) way to brighten up your spirit and to add some colour on your wall :)

8. Use a cork board with multi-coloured sticky notes

Cork boards have three major powers: they are easy to use - no need to glue anything together; they are open to interpretation - you can put virtually anything on the plane cork board; you can change your mind often - just pin something else :) And of course, they are cheap!

9. Make it minimalist (aka get rid of useless/ugly stuff)

Minimalism can be a genre in design, but also a movement that characterises people who simply like to throw away stuff! Afer watching an inspiring TEDx talk, I got extremely inspired to get rid of anything that I don't use or that annoys me! Simple: no clutter in your room = no clutter in your mind.

10. Put a Hawaiian necklace on the wall

You may have had a Freshers Fair at the beginning of Uni where they were giving those for free, or you have some leftovers from a party long time ago! If not, get yourself one for £0.78  from Amazon!
