Oh, interior decoration, how much I love thee. How I cannot wait to have my own small apartment to decorate and paint and fill with plants and trinkets; how I sit there and wistfully gaze at furniture that my room cannot hold.
Hi guys!
In case you somehow missed both the title and the nonsense that was my opening paragraph, today’s post is about bedrooms. More accurately about my dream bedroom and all the elements it would have in a perfect world where money and space and lack of natural lighting were not an issue. And, yes, in this dream world Matt Bomer would also be straight and we’d be married.
I’m actually in the midst of redecorating my room (it’s sad how excited I am about that, but that same phrase applies to pretty much my entire life, so I’m not beating myself up too much), so I thought this would be pretty timely.
Okay, so my dream room has a few things:
-
Plants
I love plants. I always have; one big part of living in a house with my grandma for most of my life is that we always have flowers around. One thing that I’m avidly looking forwards to is having my own garden to potter around decorating.
Also, y’know, fairies.
-
An Office Space
Okay, so I love offices. I really do. When I eventually own my own place, (although, what with living in London, this may take me a while. You know – maybe in my next lifetime.) I’m going to have an office and an office space in my bedroom. And, hey, if I’m co-habituating by this point I’ll also have a little office space in the living room too.
I’m obsessed with all the cute boards and decorations that office spaces boast – desk spaces are my weak spot. Some girls like flowers and chocolate – but I’m demanding AF and, while I want flowers and chocolate, I would also like a little desk space.
With boards . . . lots of boards.
-
Tapestries & Wall Decorations
Ugh, I love the look of really cute and cluttered room decorations. It’s so cosy to me! Half of my family is really bohemian and spiritual (they’re artists) so I’ve always loved really creative and personal spaces.
-
Alternative, Cute Bedding
Dear Urban Outfitters . . . I hate you. Passionately. Yes, you heard me – passionately. Look at these things.
Urban Outfitters Cushions (although they’re painfully expensive, so why click that link and torture yourself?)
Are these practical? Easy to wash and keep clean? Do you think that they’d even be particularly comfortable?
Do any of these things matter? Do they stop me from really wanting them?
No, of course they bloody don’t.
I love really unique and interesting bedding – and the cosier the better.
I must admit, my dream house would also have a bunk bed. Although, as I’m pretty odd, I’d really prefere to have a bunk-bed living room sofa thing – like this:
-
Den-like Clutter
I have two opposing loves – open space and clutter. Fortunately for me, half of my room is on a stage (sounds weird, I know, but I’ll show you when I do a room tour post) so I can have a clear half-half split.
Okay, so that’s a quick glimpse into my dream bedroom! I’m currently working on getting my real bedroom to something similar; for the first time in my entire life, I actually have a desk!
Fine, I’ve ordered a desk.
Fine, I’ve bookmarked a desk.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post; I’d love interior themed posts if that’s something you guys would be interested in? What are your dream bedrooms like? Do we share any of the same decoration styles? Let me know your thoughts down below!
Peace,
I love this, Mia!! I’m all for the bohemian and spiritual vibes! I would like a new desk chair and possibly a new desk since they are both really, really old. Will be great to see your new bedroom when it’s eventually done! 🙂 xx
Thank you so much! And yes; that’s totally my design style 🙂 Oooh check out IKEA and IKEA hacks on Pinterest; you can buy/DIY some really cute things. And thank you! I actually just bought the desk as I start no-spend September so I had to slip it in under the radar xx
Okay, will do about the IKEA hacks 😉 Haha no-spend isn’t gonna happen for me anytime soon as I’m traveling in a few weeks, but maybe in October (ugh time going TOO fast).
I like the living greenery in much of it
Thank you! Me too
So cold here still. First day of Spring starting this morning. 2°C still. Once spring does get going here though the colours come alive
These are so pretty. I wish to have my beauty/wardrobe room one day all in white and grey and maybe some rose gold accents. xx
Oooh that sounds so classy xx
I really like cork boards with a desk. And plants add a little more life in the room. But I’m not really a fan of the whole clutter thing because I’m a pretty messy potato but that’s a bit too messy for me
Definitely – I’m a big desk space lover and plants have a great effect on a space 🙂 As for mess – fair enough! I’m really into it; I think I’d have a really spacious and minimal house but my bedroom would be a total clutter xD And thank you 🙂 x
I loved every single picture in this post, I even pinned some of them! <3

Aww thank you so much! I love all these spaces too 🙂 xx
I love this! I love looking Pinterest rooms and then I get all jealous because I can’t have rooms like these

Me too babygirl, me too! xx
I love this post so much! It is so aesthetically pleasing in so many ways. I just love the style of everything in this post, definitely similar to my dream room that’s for sure! I’m constantly on pinterest looking at room decor. Can’t wait to have my own place one day and do it up!
Aww thank you so much! I’m the exact same me and Pinterest are way too well acquainted
Lovely post!!! I’d also love my dream bedroom to have a lot of space and plants!! I love long vines with flowers!!!

Thank you so much! I totally agree with you; I’m thinking of making a diy like that xxx
i love love love the bohemian feels
Thank you lovellllly x
“Some girls like flowers and chocolate – but I’m demanding AF and, while I want flowers and chocolate, I would also like a little desk space.” – that made me laugh out loud
Why thank you
Yep
I think that was wise of you, I need to practice that restraint – their site is risky business 🙁 xx
By the way I’ve nominated you for the Mystery Blogger Award, it goes up today, you should be tagged in it, but just in case 🙂
Haha, I need to buy myself a desk too. I use a dresser for my desk lol. I love this style, and that’s so cool that you grew up with a family that’s bohemian and spiritual!

That’s so weird – I did that too!I took the drawers out and awkwardly stuck my legs under it. And thank you 🙂 they’re admittedly great x
haha, I don’t think I could do that with mine because of all the drawers have built in planks that kind of obstruct my path for my legs lol
That looks so cozy and dreamy! Thanks for sharing! xo
Thanks lovely! Hopefully when I do mine it will turn out like that too x
I love the inspiration you have for your dream bedroom!! The bohemian feel of it is so cute!! Great post
Thank you so much lovely! I’m a big boho girl at heart 😀 xx
It’s okay and I can see why
Oh my god this is absolutely breathtaking!! B E A U T I FU L. major goals right here everyone!
Thank you so much gorgeous girl! I hope my room ends up looking this nice!xx
Beautiful spaces
I’m the same! My rooms the loft so the amount of sunlight is really bad for growing flowers; artificial plants can be a great solution though 🙂 xx
i nominated you for an awesome blogger award! https://lebanesechic.wordpress.com/2017/08/30/awesome-blogger-award/
Thank you lovely!xx
oh my god yes please i want this room
ME TOO!
That first photo you included in your post got my daydreaming for ages….I love love love these kinds of rooms! I really want lots of plants in my room, but can’t seem to keep them alive hahahah how sad + good luck for your room, can’t wait to see how it turns out in your room tour post!
Love, G – https://heartpeaches.wordpress.com
Me too! Can you just imagine that kind of living space? Perfect for curling up and reading! I can imagine you’d be all kinds of inspired all the time…sigh. And I totally relate – artificial plants are always an option! Thank you lovely xx
I wish this was my room… great post!! xx
Thank you lovelyy! xx
What a lovely post, Mia! Loved each one of those styles. I have been in the midst of doing up our new home and was forever looking up inspirations on pinterest but at the end of it quite happy with the clutter we have managed to put into place 😉 Home should be an extension of your personality and I can see the bohemian vibe in yours without setting eyes on it. xx
Thank you so so much! That sounds so exciting; I’m glad you’re happy with your new home; and yes – I knew I wasn’t the only one that loves her a little bit of clutter 😉 I think you’re definitely right; I’m a big boho girl at heart xxx
OMG I AM IN LOVE! THE FIRST PHOTO IT’S TO DIE FOR! I love to have plants in my room but I’m definitely more minimalistic for my space, lots of white! Would you mind check out my page? It would mean the world to me, maybe if you want we can follow each other?
Love, Mimi

Yes I absolutely love it too! And minimal design is so pretty, so you’ll get no disagreements from me 🙂 I’ll definitely check out your page xx
Love this post! I also hate uo with a passion with having such cute but horribly expensive decor!!! x
Thank you lovely! And oh god I feel you theyre dangerous for my bank account!xx
Love this! Having an apartment to decorate is so much fun. Home goods is a fun and Dangerous place.

Thank you! And I bet it is… one day I’ll get there too
I’ve always wanted a bunk bed situation like your feature photo! Or maybe something that hangs from the ceiling like hammock. Have you ever fallen asleep in a hammock? It’s amazing.
ME TOO! and no – but I most definitely want to now! X
The plants are always a dream! I can’t keep much alive unfortunately. The cork board wall for an office space is totally cool though (:
Yep, thats my issue! I’m thinking artificial plants may be my next try
My type of bedroom would be the office space one. It looks so minimalistic and I feel like I’d be super productive if ever my room looks like that. Hahaha
Yes, I definitely agree with that! I think having an office in my room is definitely going to kick my ass into gear 🙂 xx
I’m moving into a new apartment once I’m back from travelling! (Although I haven’t found one yet, so it’s a figment of my imagination until I find one) But I think about furniture and interior decoration all the time, the tapestries, the plants, the random bits of artwork, the office space — it’s all so exciting!
Ooooh I’m so excited for you – an entire apartment to design! Very fun! And just think of all the cool memories of your travels that you can decorate with!xx
OMG I used to want to be an interior designer when I was little and you’ve just opened up the magic of furnishings to me again 😉 I love your taste, it’s so refreshing compared to the everything-looks-the-same minimalism trend going on right now. And definitely confused about how your bedroom can be half on a stage…?
Love the office inspiration. Currently trying to figure out how to shoehorn a little office space into a neglected space on the top floor of our house…think the peg board could be a winner!
Wow, your ideas are insanely cool! I know what you mean about open space vs clutter- I’m exactly the same! .x.
Oh my gosh those cushions from urban outfitters are seriously the cutest thing ever but I yelled when I saw the price! Yikes! Plus love all the plant stuff! I love plants too, my only struggle is keeping them alive…..
ah I love this so much!! I am a sucker for anything boho and hippie esque
These rooms are cute. I wouldn’t be able to have plants though because of my cats.
Thanks doll – and yeah thats an issue
Is it crazy that I kept mumbling ‘oh yess!’ as I scrolled down? You have the exact taste of my dream apartment…I really cannot wait to have mine, which is hopefully close. Plants are a MUST have for me too
