Some time ago I decided to give my room a little makeover.
The main reason for it was that I had the same furniture and decoration since a few years so I slowly became bored of it all.
My idea was to go for all white furniture and then add simple gold/rosé gold/pink accents to add some kind of personality to it. I really love a chic but still girly interior. I definitely had a clear vision of which decorations I wanted to buy, as I´ve got a lot of inspiration from places like Instagram or Pinterest, so I´ve started to scroll through lots of different interior/decoration online shops but most of them were definitely too expensive for the things I´d like to get - apart from H&M Home.
H&M Home has a huge selection of many different interior things, starting from furniture to decoration and even homeware! I really love that they have separated categories for each room and currently they also have their christmas range out (I´ve only just seen that so I´ll have to look through that immediately, haha). Back to my theme though, I scrolled through the shop and literally found so many lovely things for a reasonable price, that I had to sort out my shopping basked in the end as I definitely didn´t need everything I had selected.
In the end I went for the following things:
Flower Pot in Copper
On top of my list was definitely a nice plant. Not only is it good for the air in my room but also adds a nice fresh touch to it. As I didn´t want to get a boring white flower pot I got a beautiful one in copper. It looks really nice, like not too copper-y, I find it tends to look more rosé gold. For 15€ you can´t go wrong wih it. The quality is suprisingly good and it´s the perfect size to put it on a shelf or sideboard. The plant I put in it is from a local garden center though, don´t ask me what kind of plant it is, I just picked it cause it fits into the pot and looks pretty, haha.
Pillow Cases
Then I also got two new pillow cases, one in white with little pom poms around it and one in light pink. I don´t really use these pillows to sleep with them. but rather I put them on the other end of my bed to not make it look empty there. They fit really well with most of my bedding and in case I get bored of them again, they can always be replaced or switched haha. One costs around 15€ but again the quality is really nice. They feel soft but aren´t see through and easy to clean.
Metall Tealight-Holder
I actually prefer to buy huge candles in nice glasses but this tealight-holder was a purchase with the idea of just filling empty space with it, haha. I though it was pretty cute, fitted my new theme and could also be used as photo prop, so I could only with with it. It´s pretty much the same colour as the flower pot, more on the rosé gold side and again for only 6€ it´s totally fine. I´m really happy with the colour of these two as it´s not flaking nor does it look streaky or badly painted.
Leaf-Shaped Tray
To always have my most worn jewellry on display and quick to put on, I´ve got this leaf-shaped tray in pink. It looks unbelievably cute and is really the perfect size to fit most of my jewellry. I´ve noticed most of the things I´ve got are also perfect for blog photos and this one too, haha. I also like the colour of it, as it´s quite pink but not too much, it still fits with the other products I got.
Tin with Relief Pattern
When I saw this tin I knew I had to get it as I just love everything about it. The colour is perfect, it has a little golden detail, the pattern is really cute and it has a good size to store little things in it. To be honest though, right now it´s still empty and just looks pretty on my shelf. I might put some tealights in it for my tealight holder but we´ll see. Also I´ve never heard of a pattern like that but it´s something unique and kinda makes it look vintage? Like it could be a jewel case.
High Stoneware Vase
It was love at first sight with this vase too. I simply love it. It looks like very high quality and fits very well with almost every other colour. Right now it´s still empty as it´s not as high as I thought it would be, so I´m still thinking about what to put in there, but very high up on my list is pampas. It would fit perfectly with the vase, so I´m going to look out for them the next time I go to a flower shop. I also hope it´s even possible to get twigs in this height, haha.
Little Metal Tray
Last but not least I got a little golden metal tray to keep my perfume bottles in place. I tried to put them all on the shelf but that way it kinda looked like they were randomly put there, with the tray underneath though it looks a lot better, or let´s say it looks like I´ve actually put thought in it. Underneath the tray are four rubber dots, so that the tray stays in place and can not be accidentaly pushed down. The colour is a sublte golden shade, not too yellow. I was first worried as it´s the only bigger golden decor I have, but it matches really good with the copper and pink shades.
All in one I´m really happy with the products I picked and got. It was my very first order from H&M Home but as I already said quite some times now, the quality is really good and the pieces arrived safely and really quick. It´s definitely not the last time I´ve placed an order there.
What theme did you go for in your flat/room? Where do you like to buy your interior/decor bits?
Post a Comment
Interior has become more and more interesting to me lately - mainly because of those absolutely gorgeous flats some bloggers show on their Instagram.
And so one of my main plans for 2018 is to redecorate my whole room, so it might get just as instagram-able, haha. My colour scheme for my "new" room is white, grey, light/pastel pink and, of course, rosé gold/copper accents.
In my imagination, it´s gonna look absolutely amazing, the only thing to do now is find exactly these furnitures and decorations that I´m thinking off.
So far I´ve found the following things...
Desenio Print
I discovered Desenio through one of Maria´s Instagram pictures, and I absolutely loved the look of her prints and so straight off ordered one for myself.
They have a huge selection of different themes - such as cities, beauty, flowers, etc. - in many different sizes. So you can either pick a huge one like me 50 x 70cm, or a small one for your desk. Together with the print you can also select a frame to go with it.
I choose a copper one - what a suprise - together with a beautiful, inspiring quote written in pink. I think they fit together really well and are gonna set a nice accent to my mainly white and bright room.
Maisons Du Monde Decorations
While browsing through the internet - actually searching for a new pastel pink chair for my desk - when I stumbled across the online shop of Maisons Du Monde!
I straight off found a lot of things that would fit perfectly in my room, and so when I even saw that they had a store close to me I just had to go there.
First thing I´ve found was a rosé gold mirror, with a little pink plattform underneath, I store my few bits of jewellry that I have and daily skincare products there, looks a lot more organized than before haha.
Then I also found a copper "moodboard", where I can pin all different types of things on it, so of course to go with the board I got matching copper clips. As soon as I bought my new furniture I´ll hang it up!
The last thing I got, isn´t really decoration but I just needed - like really needed - to get it, it´s a really cool mug with like a lid to go with it. As someone who always forgets about their tea, and only remembers when it´s already cold again, this will be a total lifesaver, haha.
Mini Plants and Pots
And last I finally invested in some plants - for the first time in my life.
I decided to go for mini plants to put up on my desk - and most importantly, ones that don´t need a lot looking after. I got both, the cactus and the other plant at IKEA for only 3€ including those really cute light pink pots. Not only do they look really cool on my desk, but also make great blog props - even though I´ve already scratched my hand on the cactus quite often, haha.
The other "Just Wing it" Pot is from Primark, but I got it quite a long time ago - sometime back in October - so I´m not really sure if it´s still available. It´s the perfect size to hold my eyemakeup brushes and also works really well with my ongoing colour scheme.
Do you pay a lot of attention into your interior? Any homeware bits that you bought lately?
