I have a strange addiction to cushions and candles, i just think that they bring the room together. Obviously because i'm only 18 i still live at home with my parents so i love to decorate and change up my bedroom and make it unique to my personality. When i was younger i used to personalize my room with posters of celebrities that i had crushes on like any normal 14/15 year old girl. But now I've grown up a bit i want to be more mature in the way my bedroom is decorated.
So firstly it was candles, this is because i really love, vanilla and floral scents so most of my candles are scented. I especially love them in the winter, when its raining outside and i can sit in my bedroom all cosy and warm in my bed with a nice romantic film, and candle light (i'm a bit of a hopeless romantic at heart, and a typical girl). My favourite one of my candles has my name on (i will insert pictures below) this candle is my favourite because i like the way it reflects the light onto the wall and how it creates different patterns, this one isn't scented but it is the only one which has no scent.
My second candle is scented (vanilla of course), but this one is a battery operated candle, this is because it changes colour once it has been lit, i like this candle because i brings in a different colour into your bedroom. However if you are watching a film/Movie the colour change can be off putting, but i think that this candle is ideal for just having a pampering session or relaxing in the bath. Also it does smell great!, i do think you can purchase this candle in a different scent if vanilla isn't your cup of tea.
My last two candles are very basic and less decorative then the last two, but just as effective. the smaller candle is again a vanilla scent and the white and pink one is more of a light floral scent. I find that floral candles give off a stronger scent then any other candle, i'm not too sure whether this is because of the brand type or because the only other candles i have are vanilla scented. But i still enjoy these last two candles just as much as the previous ones.
Now onto cushions, when trying to make your bed nice and girly or just trying to make it look cute i think cushions are the best solution. When i was little i would cover my bed with cuddly toys and you wouldn't really be able to see much else. But i really like floral patterns on cushions, but not too much that it ends up looking like your Nan's curtains. I would say that mine are very simple and not too over the top. I also have cushions which have pictures on this adds the personal touch to the overall look of the bedroom. In my case i have got a cushion with a picture of my Grandad on who sadly passed away when i was four years old, and a picture of my dog who passed away last year i really like these cushions, but unfortunately they are more pricey then the floral ones because they have been personalized.
These are just some of the many things i do in my bedroom, to make it more unique and personal to me.I think that it is important for everyone to have that space that they can go to by themselves and just relax.
