I find it quite hard to make our bedroom look just right; it\u2019s quite a white affair, with white floors and walls \u2013 but we kept the original woodwork (skirting boards and doors) which adds a nice contrast. The floors aren\u2019t quite finished yet, which I think doesn\u2019t really help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like a \u2018lived in\u2019 look, but as the walls have all been re-plastered I feel a bit scared to ruin the fresh plaster to put up things, although I\u2019ve started doing it slowly and carefully! I like the mix of white IKEA furniture and vintage picks, but I think it can look a bit too catalogue-y so I\u2019m trying to introduce some personal touches that keep the room looking unique. It\u2019s quite a large room, and I don\u2019t want it too cluttered, but sort of cluttered in an organised, eye-catching way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think this is probably the only area in my flat which I\u2019m not really happy with, but I think it will take time to think about what I want here \u2013 I did want floor to ceiling shelves built in, in the little alcove there but I\u2019m going to live with it first to get a feel for it. I think the only shelves that would work would be white and I don\u2019t want the sort of IKEA plastic-y ones as it just wouldn\u2019t work with the room \u2013 so I\u2019ll wait it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jo and I share that beast of a wardrobe, and we also have a huge chest of drawers just out of frame. The IKEA rail is more for display, but I can never get it to look quite right so I\u2019m thinking about ditching it \u2013 I really can\u2019t decide! I don\u2019t keep any of my makeup in here, apart from that basket there which is more everyday body lotions and things, so it almost looks slightly empty. I think one day I will just have a revelation and it will come to me, but until then I quite like the set-up I have going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have everything I need for here (in terms of a dressing room) so I guess I just need to add some prints to the walls \u2013 I have some of the IKEA picture ledges to put up, so perhaps I\u2019ll do that next. It\u2019s a work in progress anyway, I guess I will get there eventually with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
