Revamping My Room to Create Bedroom Goals
Revamping My Room to Create Bedroom Goals
For a while now I’ve been dreaming of a Pinterest worthy room, one that shows my style all through. I did decorate my room a while back but it was a quick over haul instead of actually doing what I wanted but that’s all changed.
I spend quite a lot of time in my room, it’s my safe zone where I’m 100% comfortable and can work away. It’s the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see at night. So, I really wanted to create a space that impacted my mood in a positive way as I am doing a lot of work on myself. My thoughts going into this was a feature wall, new paint, new bed side tables but what I ended up with was a full do over. I ended up Revamping My Room to Create Bedroom Goals.
At first I wasn’t planning to do a blog post on this overhaul but after going through the process, I really wanted to share my room journey as I’m so in love with how it looks. As I wasn’t planning it at first please excuse the pictures of the “Before”, these were simply taken so I could personally see the difference so they are the only ones I have of how my room kinda looked.
I have a double room, it’s a good size as I can fit everything I need nicely (there is another part of my room but it’s not visible in these before pictures). My room used to be very mismatched with the furniture style but over the last two years I’ve been buying new pieces like my tv stand, desk and a bed side table. The process was going really slow and it bummed me out a little but obviously without the funds, I couldn’t do much. Now that I’m financially stable again I thought it was high time I just take the plunge and get it all done.
My planning process took a month or so. I started by looking for wallpaper and I wasn’t settling until I found THE ONE and thankfully I did one day when I was in B&M. I took a sample home and it was perfect, exactly what I wanted so I looked on their website and could find it, I went back into store and there were only 2 rolls left which wasn’t enough to do my wall, I needed 4 so I looked everywhere online and came across it on Littlewoods. It was more expensive at £21.99 a roll but that didn’t bother me as I knew I had to have it. So I clicked buy and a few days later the paper arrived. Now that I had the wallpaper I had to get some paint. I had no idea what colour I wanted, stay white? Or go a grey colour? I eventually settled on a grey but couldn’t see a colour I wanted, they were either too dark or too light so the search continued until about 4/5 days before I started the decorating and I saw a grey that was perfect, obviously I bought it!
My wallpaper was sorted, my paint was sorted so what now? I couldn’t keep the bed, it wouldn’t match as it was black and it was broken. I hate to admit it as it’s a little embarrassing but books were holding one side up as it completely broke haha. It was a terribly made bed but it was the first one I ever bought for myself when in was around 18. After searching and searching I couldn’t find anything, there was a velvet crushed style one that was stunning but it was £900 odd and I was not paying that much, I’m not that rich lol. But again, Littlewoods came to the rescue when I spotted a stunning grey double bed with a gorgeous head board. It looked lovely on the website but in person it looks even better. Granted it was just under £400 so still a bit dear for me but I just went for it, I had to.
I got all of that but something was still missing to tie everything together and one night on Argos I was browsing, looking for a chair to use at my desk when I came across these absolutely gorgeous side lamps! I instantly fell in love with them and there was an offer of 2 for £15, I had to buy.
I'm so in envy of your new room! It looks absolutely amazing, you've done such a good job putting it all together.

Aww thank you 😊 I'm so in love with it now!
Your room looks honestly so gorgeous, serious room envy right now! I actually have the geometrical gold/grey wallpaper as a background for blog pictures haha! I had my room decorated a few years ago and i want it done again now!
Thank you Ellie 😀 it took ages to plan out but I'm glad I didn't rush it. It started out with the wallpaper sample for my blog photos then loved it so much that I had to have it haha
Oh, Jordanne, this looks absolutely gorgeous, totally Pinterest-worthy, what an amazingly stylish, elegant, and comfortable space. Obviously your cat approves too! Regarding the floor, would it be possible to sand it and paint it, rather than buy new flooring? And I think a canvas of Leon is a brilliant idea. It's a beautiful room, so happy for you! XLisa
Thank you lisa 😊💖 i am so in love with it now which is a great feeling.Well my flooring isn't natural wood so we have to get it taken up then a new floor put down which is a pain!
Wow, you did an amazing job – it looks amazing! And your cat is adorable!
Awww thank you 😊😊
Love the pinks, greys and splash of gold! It looks so classy and cosy, and I'm sure you're going to love going back to that space every night. I'm super jealous. My house is a tip. I should probably paint the walls some day, haha.

This is absolutely gorgeous! Pink and grey is one of my favourite combinations, and the wallpaper is stunning. You did make me smile with the comment about your bed being held up with books – we did exactly the same thing with our last bed when it gave out!
Your wallpaper is just incredible. I love the touches of pink. So feminine and classy.
I love, love, love your new room. Oh my god I've got serious bedroom envy. Absolutely beautiful. I love the feature wall and the paper you chose is stunning. You've tied everything in really well to!

Your room is so on point. I must say you did a great job, well done!! xx
Wow, what a transformation! I love the geometric wallpaper.
I absolutely love your room. I'm at the start of planning my bedroom, and I've decided to go for white walls, with white/grey feature wall. Funnily enough, I have those lamps in my basket from Argos – aren't they pretty? Sarah x
