Tomorrow is my math final! And with that last test, albeit stressful, comes the end of my busy sophomore year at Gunn High school.
There’s a great list of things I want to do over summer, and revamping and reorganizing my room is near the top of that list. I love my room, and I love having that personal space where I can relax, admire all my posters and just be on my comfy bed for hours on end. I still have room for improvement. Hahaha, anyone notice the pun? (Okay, I’ll stop.)
A few things I want to do to my room is update my DIY vanity table, fill up an empty corner, and clean up my closet. A lot of my friends are also doing a lot of fun things to their room this summer, so I thought it’d be nice to do a blog post on room inspiration and ideas.
What’s essential in a nice room is good storage, somewhere to relax, and personalization!
Good storage is obviously super important because it’ll bring a lot more space to your room. This is something I need to work on harder, because I tend to be a very very messy person, especially when I’m stressed. I have great shelves in my room, so I’ll be out and around looking for boxes and other miscellaneous storage units.
Ikea is a great place to go for affordable storage. Here are links to some items I’m considering for my room.

The next important thing is comfortable seating, especially if you love to read, write, or just play around on your laptop. I have an empty corner in my room that I’ve been wanting to fill with some kind of lounge chair for a long time. This summer I’m going to finally get around to it.
I love the lounge seating from Pottery Barn teens. However, this store is on the more expensive side. Some great seating ideas are beanbags, soft armchairs, and even stacks of nice pillows.
Here are some links and sites that offer great lounge seating.

Another thing that really brings a room together is personalization. You spend a lot of time in your room, so you might as well grow to love it!! I love to put posters all over my walls, (a lot more have gone up recently.) There are so many easy ways to personalize your room that are both adorable and completely affordable.
Here are some pictures of my room. You can see the random junk everywhere that defines it as mine. 🙂
You can also view a Youtube video I created last summer for more ideas.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post! Please leave any comments or questions for me.
Wish me luck for my last final of the year!
