Bedroom Alterations Part 1

I'm the type of person who gets bored of their surroundings pretty quickly and I'm constantly changing how my bedroom looks. I usually have a furniture switch around every six months or so. I also have a lot of junk stuff which from looking at the photo above, is looking extremely cluttered and not at all how I want my room to look. Despite most things having a place, it all just looks very messy. A quick look at my home board on Pinterest and you can sort of see how I want my room to look eventually. Every thing is very minimal and everything has it's own place, a lot of pastel accents, plain walls and white furniture.

The first thing to do: paint over the lily wallpaper.

I want to try and make the two bookcases stand out more and look like decorations themselves instead of just housing all my books. Despite all the little touches like my perfume bottles, decorations and colour co-ordinated books, it all just looks lost among the wallpaper. I still like the wallpaper and it's been up for a good 5 years or so but it's just not my taste anymore. I've decided to paint the wall a light grey which should go with everything else in my room. It also means whatever duvet cover I have on my bed wont clash with my wall paper anymore and nearly all colours go with grey.

My next project? Sort out this side of the room! Again, it's too cluttered and messy despite everything having it's own place. I'm hoping a couple of cardboard boxes from Ikea to store my handbags and a change around of furniture will help a lot. Also quite a bit of decluttering is in need.

Once my room is all done I'll be sharing more photos but I want to try and get it so I'm happy with all areas of it first.
