Empty Walls? How To Make Your Room Your Own

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cincinnati chapter.

Sometimes it can be hard to turn a small space into something of your own.  How can you add a personal touch that will transform your room into a place you love?

THEMES!

Pick a theme and run with it.  It’s safe to choose one or two things and have everything revolve around it – whether it is a certain color, things that remind you of your favorite place or posters of your favorite people.

TAPESTRIES!

Do you have a plain wall and you’ve already gone poster-overload? Tapestries are a great way to add an accent.  Relatively cheap, you can find these just about anywhere online.  My favorite spot for tapestries is Urban Outfitters – so many cute colors and designs to chose from and range in price around $65.

DIY CRAFTS!

You don’t have to be an artist to paint a great canvas, you can find templates online, or sketch free hand.  DIY crafts give you a chance to personalize your artwork.  Pinterest is always a great place to start for inspiration.  Quotes, monograms and pictures make for a great wall decoration.

Hopefully you’re inspired to make your room your own – have a girls’ night, drink wine and craft! You’ll have a room of your own before you know it.
