Bedroom Tour - Spring/Summer Edition #3

Summer crept up on us all a bit quick hey?

It feels like just last month I was buying Christmas decoration for my bedroom, and decorating everything with ribbons and little wooden reindeers.

Crazy crazy crazy.

And my 'I'll get healthy ready for Summer' plan has completely packed itself a suitcase and jetted off to some place far far away.

Oops.

But on the up side my bedroom is now looking fresh, light and summery (the Christmas decorations all packed away...sadly) and although I haven't changed too much in the way of style or ornaments, I have bought a few new bits and bobs and moved my furniture around which has given the whole room a bigger and more open feel, yet still cosy in the evenings - perfect!

If you have read my other two Bedroom Tour posts you will already know I stick to a light and lightly touched shabby chic style all around the room, and then each season I try to take away and add bits all with this style in mind so my room fits in with the current time of year.

(I also have a few subtly Harry Potter features around just because it's my most favourite thing, hehe).

I'll start off with these kind of 'home-made' daffodil fairy lights...

I love how this turned out and how it looks in general.

The fairy lights have quite a cold feel to them as they have white bulbs instead of yellow, so to give them a warmer and more Spring/Summer feel I added some fake daffodils - one next to each light - to cover up the Wintery feel of the lights and make it look a lot prettier, (and it also saved me from having to spend money on new Summer fairy lights - bonus).

The fake daffodils are ones I bought from Etsy a couple of years ago, and they originally came on sticks so I had them in a plant pot looking pretty on the window sill for a good year or so, but thought this fairy light idea suits them so well.

I'm really pleased with the overall outcome and its something that can be so easily done at home with fairy lights and any fake flowers of your choice!

An alternative if you're not a flower fan or fancy something a bit different is to do this with some pretty bunting flags.

The overall layout of my bedroom has also changed a little bit.

By simply swapping my desk and chest of drawers over my room is now much more open by the door giving it a bigger feel when walking in. I've also managed to store my exercise bike in the new layout without it being too in the way or obvious.

My desk area is now at the bottom of my bed...

I have placed my TV here for easy viewing in bed, along with my lamp, my orchids, cactus' and diary.

I feel like all these things together really compliment each other and the flowers and cactus' especially have a nice natural and Spring-like feel to them.

 A flower pot from Ikea makes a great holder for controllers and remotes and also looks great!

I bought a few of these in white and pastel green and have them dotted around holding different items and they are such a nice and pretty edition to my bedroom - and fit in with the shabby chic style.

My chest of drawers is now under my mirror and used for not only keeping my clothes in but also doubles as a kind of dressing table on the top.

I keep all my makeup and cosmetic items here so I can easily get to them when looking in the mirror in the mornings.

Feature walls are one of my favourite things with interior decorating as I feel like having one can really show the style of the room and say a lot about it.
My bedroom has two pastel green walls and two cream walls.
The biggest wall is one of the green ones and is my feature wall.
I have scattered framed photos across the wall some in white and some wooden.
In the frames I've put some of my favourite photos of family, friends, pets, slogans and a few little quirky hanging ornaments.

I love this feature wall, and I try to keep it updated with new photos and bits and pieces as the year goes along.

For example during Christmas time I normally add a few fairy lights and tree decorations, however for this time of year I've gone for light-hearted slogans which catch the eye to help add character to the room.

Now when it comes to my bed, I'm a little bit of a cushion fanatic.

Every time I go shopping I nearly always come home with a new cushion for my bed and as I only have a single bed, it's pretty much 90% pillows now, not that I'm complaining!

The bright patterned one you may notice from my Primark Haul a few posts back, and for only £5 it really brightens up my bed!

It's the perfect style for Spring and Summer and looks great pride of place in the middle of my bed.

Ad you can probably tell I also love cushion with letters on, they are quirky and cute and also fit in with the framed slogans on the feature wall above my bed.

I have M for my name and K for my boyfriends name :)

I try to keep my beddings and cushions fairly light but have added in a few darker ones for a more cosy feel especially in the evening times. I've also added a light green through for the bottom of my bed for cosyness and it fits in perfectly with the other pastel green items dotted around the room.

Lets just say making my bed in the morning is a marathon (theres sixteen cushions in case you were wondering...hehe). 

How have you been decorating your room for Spring and Summer?
