Dream House: Living Room & General

In terms of living rooms, I've always wanted a huge grey sofa! I've always imagined having a grey/white/metallic colour scheme with lots of throws and cushions so make it cosy in the Winter. I'd also love a gallery wall with some cool prints and photos. My dream house would be full of various plants and flowers as well to inject a bit of colour and life!

Home Haul: Tiger, IKEA, Primark, H&M & Homebase

When I finally got my student loan I decided to pick up a few bits and pieces for my room. In Tiger I picked up a marble clipboard, marble notebook, metal wire box and a cute mug. I love how the marble and the wire box look on my desk, along with my new artificial plant from IKEA!

In Primark, I picked up heart shaped coasters, the copper ampersand and the star light that everyone seems to have. I wasn't sure about it at first but it looks really nice when it's lit and makes my room feel really cosy! I also picked up another lamp - the copper one from Homebase. Again, everyone seems to have this, but I just couldn't resist.

I then made my first ever H&M home order and got a copper basket, a bookend and a little copper box to keep my rings in!

What do you think of my new purchases?

Dream House: Bookcases & Office

There's nothing I want more in life than a wall of bookcases (or my own library) and a nice home office. I could honestly spend all my time on Pinterest looking at pictures of brilliantly styled bookcases or pretty white offices. I'm literally all heart-eyed emoji at the gold bookcase and the monochrome offices. 

What would your dream office and bookcases be like?

Dream House: Bedroom & Wardrobe

Today I'm sharing some dream bedroom and wardrobe inspiration! My dream bedroom would have a huge, cosy bed and feature lots of greys, pastels and metallics - pretty much my room right now. I'd also love white floorboards as its just not a possibility in my room just now.

Of course, every girl dreams of a walk-in wardrobe - I've wanted one for as long as I can remember. However if it's not a possibility I'd still be happy with one that's built into the walls and has lots of spaces for organisation - like the Ikea Pax ones! I also really want a clothes rail to feature new-in clothes or my favourite pieces for the season.

Dream House: Bathroom & Kitchen

I thought I'd do a new series of posts all about my dream house! I spend way too much time on Pinterest, lusting over pretty houses so it's about time I shared them with you.

For the bathroom, I'd love to have a free-standing bath. I always think they look to luxurious and posh! I'd also go with a black and white theme, with a pastel shade to add some brightness.

For the kitchen, I'd follow the same idea. I love the pairing of bright whites with pastel pink and mint. We're actually getting our kitchen decorated just now and I think that's the palette we're leaning towards. All I want in life is a pink Smeg fridge.

Bedroom Details

I love interior posts so today I thought I'd share just a few pictures of my room. It recently got re-decorated last year and since then I've been trying to get it exactly the way I want it. I bought some mini cactae from Ikea a couple of weeks ago and they're so cute! I really want to get a few shelves and buy some more to put on them. 

My favourite part of my room is where my desk sits! I keep a few of my favourite books on my desk, with some nice pictures (and postcards from Paperchase) above it. I also love my heart shaped shelf which I've used to display my Marc Jacobs perfumes on. Next to that I've put up my 'ideal self' moodboard that I made in university and some pictures from my favourite designer collections.

Hope you enjoyed this little insight into my room - I thought it be fun to share because I know everyone loves a nosey into someone's home. If you've done similar posts please send me the link!

An Ikea Wishlist

BILLY Bookcase • KASSETT Boxes • LACK Wall Shelf • KASSETT Magazine Files • SNILLE Chair • STODJA Cutlery Divider

Clearly I'm still not over the whole white furniture thing - it just looks so clean and simple! Anyway, I've been thinking about updating a few areas of my room - mainly my bookcases and the walls. Instead of having two smaller bookcases I really want to get this Billy one just to take up less space. I'm also going to get the storage boxes and magazine files to help style it! I'm thinking about getting a few of these floating shelves as well, just to make my walls look a bit more interesting! I'm in desperate need of a new desk chair as the one I have is literally falling apart. I also thought about getting a cutlery divider to put in my desk drawer for my stationary - I'm not sure if this is a really smart idea or really stupid!

I went to university the other day to complete a presentation but spent half of time looking a pictures of nice offices on Pinterest (I swear it was kind of related to what I was doing!) So I suppose this post is a sort of wishlist of what I want my future office to look like.

When I eventually graduate, get a job and move out (scary thoughts!), I really want my own office. Either working for myself, or just having room my in future flat to blog. I've always wanted a big, long white desk and then have shades of pastel pink and green just to give it a bit of colour.

A girl can dream right?

Bookcase Envy

I'm suffering from some serious bookcase envy right now! I have way too many books and magazines and absolutely nowhere to put them. I already have two smaller bookcases but I've decided to get a tall Billy bookcase from IKEA and keep one of the smaller ones.

Anyway the point in these pictures is that I really want to make sure that everything is displayed nicely, especially because there's going to be quite a lot of shelves - I don't want it looking cluttered! I have a lot of Vogue magazines and coffee table books that I can display, and a collection of Eiffel Tower ornaments that are begging for a home. I also have a lot of university folders but I think I'll get some box files just to make sure it looks tidy and organised.

So there you have it, a post on bookcase envy and my plans for my new bookcase - I can't wait to show you all when I'm finished!

How do you style your bookcases?

(P.S. Does anyone know where I can get plain white box files for university work, that would match the magazine files in the top right picture? I've looked literally everywhere and I can't find any!)

Kitchen Inspiration

With my bedroom being nearly finished, my mum and I have decided to turn our attention to our kitchen. We seriously hate our kitchen - I can't explain why but we just do.

It's quite a small space and unfortunately we don't have a window in it so we want to keep things really bright. I think we're going to do out walls and tiles white and then add hints of pastel pink and mint in.

We've already set out sights on a mint green toaster and kettle and picked up some cute tea towels and canvases to hang up.

I'm obsessed with pastel shades right now so I'm really excited to get our kitchen sorted out!

Room Inspiration

I recently decided that it was time for my room to have a refresh and to say goodbye to my dark purple walls (seriously mum, why did you let me do that?!) that were making my room so dull. My room is now in the middle of being redecorated, and I have a good idea of what I hope it will look like when it's finished. I'm following the trend and going for a nearly all white room! Hopefully this will help me get more light into my room and it was look clean and tidy! Three of my walls will be completely white and one of them will have this amazing Paris print wallpaper. Luckily for me, I don't need any new furniture as I already have new white furniture from a couple of years ago.

I'm really excited to get my room redecorated and it's a complete step away from what it looked like before.

Do you have any tips for me?
