How to transform your space | Interior Design & Styling Tips | AD Gifted Art.

Now that we're spending more time than ever in our homes, I'm feeling very grateful that past me, choose her possessions with love and put effort into making her space one which brings joy (clearly I learned something from Marrie Kondo, even if wasn't minimalism). I like to think my bedroom is filled with personality, and colour - a tasteful colour that is. My room has become something I really pride myself on (so much so, falling in love with styling it has got me considering a career in interior design... who wants to hire me?!). I managed to transform my space with accessories alone, I've not purchased any new furniture (despite my dislike for my bed) - instead, I concentrated on the little things and looked to what changes were realistic for me to make.

So today I thought I'd share my tips on how to change up your space, without any big purchases, redecoration and stress.

Add Art:

Art can transform a room, bring in colour, style, give a message, and make a once empty space the centre of attention. My most recent addition to my art collection, it's this beautiful poster (also available as a canvas and a framed print, in many different sizes from PhotoWall).  Photowall contacted me a few weeks back, and offered to gift me a piece of art from their website as part of a blogpost collaboration - I had some spare space on my wall I'd be wanting to fill, and their website has hundreds of beautiful prints, posters and incredible wall art to choose from I couldn't say no. I decided to go for a poster to make a change from my usual framed print. I love the poster hanger with came with the art, it gives a much more classy finish far (A definite improvement from how I haphazardly blue-tacked Mary-Kate and Ashley posters to my wall back in the day).  After a lot of time narrowing down my favourites, I decided to go to this 20s style fashion illustration - the colours work well with what I've got in my room and the style reminds me completing my fashion degree. I really love it. It feels like the finishing touch on my wall. If you're looking to add new art to you home - keep reading, I have a Photowall discount code which I'll share at the end of this post.

I also have a gallery wall, pictures dotted throughout my bedroom - art really makes my space feel like home.

Plants: 

Put simply, it's really nice to be around plants. They add a freshness and life to space. Stick a house plant, real or fake into an empty space and suddenly it feels loved, and alive.

Style what you've got: 

You'll already have beautiful things, even if you don't realise it. We collect things over the years and if they stay in one place, they tend to blend into the background. Clear your surfaces, and restyle thing, put things back in where they weren't before, and suddenly you belonging come back to life. Books on display and are great to add height and colour. Jewellery, makeup and souvenirs will also make things a little more look a little more special, and personal. Storage can also be attractive - my books are organised in colours, and honestly, that rainbow makes me so happy.

Make it personal: 

Your space should be a reflection of your personality, who you are, where you've been and who you intend to be. I choose a fashion Illustration poster from Photowall as a nod to my degree in fashion, I created a vision board, as I reminder of who I want to be and what I want life to look like and I've scattered memories throughout my space, through souvenirs and photos. 

Get creative: 

Not everything needs to be used for its purpose, I have a tassel necklace which broke so I now use it as a hanging on the end of my bed. I had the mirrored letters, spelling out the word 'dream' on my wall, but when them M broke, I rearranged the letters to say 'Read' which feels much more me, and now lives on the edge of my bookshelf (I'm not sure if the lesson there was really, 'be clumsy, and broken belongings might force creativity, but there we go).

What do you think of my space? I hope it's inspired you to have fun with interiors!
