Decorating room ideas…?
I might be moving into a bigger room soon, and my room is pretty plane.
I really love history, and want to decorate it in a Vintage style, or Victorian era style, or something.
I can’t buy any furniture though. Just decorations, and things I can make my self.
I have a single brown, wooden bed.
White pair of drawers.
White bedside table.
White table with shelves.
I have a lot of books, and scented candles.
What can I make myself for my room that’s kind of vintage, and historic?
that’s great, you have a blank canvas. Accessorizing is the best bit! It’s the finishing touches that make a room. Right.
For our hallway, I made 3 oval canvasses that look like cameos. I used these necklaces as templates http://shop.sylviemarkovina.com/collections/neo-cameos.
1. paint your canvasses in an antiquey off white
2. Enlarge the lady’s head on the cameo picture so that it takes up most of the space in the middle of the oval.
3.cut it out
4. stick the cutout to the cavas using blu tac
5. choose a pastel colour like duck egg blue or powder pink and paint over the whole canvas
6. when the paint is dry, peel of the paper cutout and there you have it!
3 of these look really effective why not try pink, blue and black? I wish I could upload a photo for you.
As for other accessories, make cushions from rose print fabric ( add pearl buttons for cute details), go to flea markets and car boot sales and look for vintagey one offs that you can clean up or paint.
For a little shelf display, floral teacups look gorgeous, all different shapes and sizes – my room’s full of them.
Great theme! love it. hope this helps! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
