10 Creative Ideas To Personalise Your Room
Share
Imagine stepping into a room that's a true reflection of you – your style, your essence. Your space speaks volumes about your personality. But how do you make it uniquely yours?
This guide offers ten simple yet creative techniques to personalise your room. From rethinking walls to customising furniture, adding personalised decor to incorporating nature-inspired elements, discover easy ways to infuse your space with character.
Reimagining Walls
Accent walls with bold colours or wallpaper
Make a certain part of your room stand out more than the rest. By adding an accent wall, you're bringing in some vibrancy to your room whilst also maintaining a perfect balance of minimalism (if that's what you're into).
Expressing what you're into through posters
Got a favourite song or artist you always listen to? A dream car that you're always thinking about? Or maybe you have a cool sneaker collection and you want a nice background to showcase it. Posters are definitely the answer. They can say so much without saying anything at all. You can express exactly what you're into through the art of posters. We sell a ton of posters that you may want to have a look at. Our posters are inexpensive and they look great against a wall of any colour. If we don't sell a poster in mind, just let us know and we will get back to you with an outcome in 48 hours.
Hanging shelves to display unique collectibles
Maybe you do have some shoes you want to show off. Or you've gotten a couple nice trophies/plaques for being the best in academics or sports. Regardless of what it could be. Having shelves to showcase them would absolutely make them the standout piece in your living room. Show off your proud possessions and achievements with a neat spotlight for your shelf. You simply stick them on with the supplied adhesive and they will turn on based on motion. It really adds a clean yet functional look to your items.Shelve Motion Sensor Lights
Customising Furniture
If you have chosen your accent wall colour, then consider also replacing or repurposing the furniture in your room to match or compliment the accent wall aesthetic. For instance, say you have a grey accent wall, you could consider replacing your white desk with a grey one, and your black floor lamp stand with a grey one. This works better with smaller things like the lamp shades as matching accent pieces really pop the most in rooms like this.
If you want to save a little bit of cash, you could repurpose them by painting the old stuff you already have, instead of buying new furniture completely. However, if you'd prefer to save yourself some time, then we've got some cool recommendations here.
Personalised Decor
Got some special blankets or pillows for your bedroom? Or you're thinking of getting some? You absolutely should. Your bed and its bedding should be aesthetically pleasing to match with the room's aesthetic. Lets say your bed has a black fabric or leather headboard, in that case this is a good complementing colour with your grey accent wall and it would make a ton of sense to go out and buy grey duvets and pillowcases. (P.s. if you're trying to make your sleep more enjoyable, then consider looking into memory foam ergonomic pillow cases, like this one. I personally use this one and it has improved the quality of my sleep drastically.
You know what looks cooler in your room? A bright neon sign that says your name. You can find these signs anywhere on eBay and Aliexpress. As these are personalised, they will take a while for it to be produced and shipped to your room.
Nature-Inspired Elements
I'm a firm believer that every stylish room should at least incorporate some sort of nature, fake or real. With my monotone example of a white room with a grey accent wall, it could definitely help to add some greenery to the room to at least add some pop to keep a room from going overly minimalistic. Consider these fake plants to add to your wall.
Textiles and Accessories

To improve your sleep quality, you should absolutely get black-out curtains or blinds. You should get black-out curtains which match the room aesthetic of your accent wall if possible. We like these ones here, they have a wide variety of colours and they are also purposeful.
Lighting and Ambiance
Setting the mood in your room with lighting is the most essential thing about room decoration by far. It set's the tone and the ambience for however you plan to spend your day indoors. Want to read a book at night before you go to sleep? "Alexa, set the lights to red". Feel like sitting in today and just playing games? "Alexa, set the lights to purple.". Smart home LED lighting go such a long way into making your room truly the most aesthetic man-cave possible. If you want to build a smart-home lighting system, then we've got you covered. A blog post is coming soon discussing the best smart home lighting products which are reliable and perfect for your aesthetic apartment.
If you really want to go crazy on lighting and you want your room to feel like a dream in clouds, then consider making cloud light strips for your ceiling or wall. These are essentially LED light strips stuck onto large clumps of loose cotton.
We recommend getting these LED light strips and light bulbs for clean lighting for your room. It's best to use the light strips against a surface which faces the wall for a nice ambience which projects off the wall. As for light bulbs, consider complimenting it with these floor stands. These floor stands have a shield to cover the harsh direct lighting given off by the bulb and can also create a nice ambience when placed next to a wall.
Maybe, you're not into LED lighting as much and you want to keep a room that's more old fashioned and simplistic. Well, candles are still the next best alternative! It's a natural source of lighting and there's always a sense of joy and soothing relaxation when you light the candles and smell the pleasant aroma given off by it. We recommend buying these candles here:
Shelving and Storage
Make your space neat and tidy, and if you haven't already, use this room makeover to invest in organisers with personalised labels or designs to build a habit of organising your stuff on a regular basis. It's little things like these items which make the process and the outcome of cleaning your room much more enjoyable:
You could also look into getting shelves or floating racks as mentioned at the start of the article.
One crucial thing to note is the size of your room. If your room is rather small then it's a good idea to invest in multi-functional furniture or storage units like beds with a storage bunk. Space-saving decor can make a room look real nice if it is pulled off correctly. Especially with these items:Wall Decorations *really* Do Go a Long Way
Not only do they express who you are as a person and what you like, they also just look really nice. Literally, if you have an empty space on your wall, you can never go wrong with placing a framed poster on there, as long as the design is clean and not cheap. You should look at our collection of posters, we make a lot of clean posters designed to look good on any wall. If you're a Spotify fan and into the Spotify aesthetic, we also sell Spotify Now Playing Acrylic Posters, which look absolutely amazing on any sort of wall. Have a look!
Another reason why posters go a long way to making your room look real good is because you can use them in a series of combinations and patterns. You place your posters however you want on your wall, giving it significantly more character than if you just placed the posters in a single, horizontal line. Placing posters diagonally next to each other or in a grid like pattern makes a wall look so much better.
Conclusion
There is a lot that goes into room decorating if you want to make it just as functional as it looks. Not only is it creative but it also makes your daily life a lot easier too. I hope you can build a clean aesthetic room that truly speaks volumes about who you are after reading this blog article.
