minimalist lounge room
what’s up guys? welcome to my room tour. i’ve been holding off filming the room tour because i wanted to finish decorating beforei could show it to the world. but i’ve lived here for a year now, officially,and my room is not fully decorated still, and you know what? i thought to myself, “i’m probably goingto be lazy and this is probably going to be what it lookslike for a while.†so this is the general gist of it.
the theme is white, pastel, very airy, andfresh. i like to keep my room very simple and minimalbecause it’s where i sleep and relax. i want to be mostly technology-free zone, so rarely do i have my laptop in here anddo work in here. before i go into the tour, i just want tolet you know that i put all product description links in the box below so if you’re interestedin anything and where i got it, you can find it there. most things you can find online but some things aren’t available anymoreso i put links to similar items.
starting on the left we have this old whitelamp that is probably over fifteen years old. it wasn’t mine, i think i took it from myuncle’s old house, something like that. when we moved here, i put it here becauseit was white. next item is the giant ikea mirror, and i love big mirrors. it’s just wide enough and tall enough tosee everything. the centerpiece is obviously my bed. it’s just a simple white bed that i got a few years ago online.
when i was planning the color scheme for mybed a few years ago, i wanted to feel like i wassleeping on clouds. i purposely got a white bed frame. i have white bedsheets on my mattress thatare flannel so it’s fluffy. without my blankets and pillows, it reallylooks like a giant white marshmallow. but with the blankets, i got this sky bluecolor so it’s like i’m covered by the sky, i’m sleeping on a cloud.
my pillows are just random colors, not onpurpose, but i like the way that it looks mismatchedbecause it really is mismatched. the pink and the greys really complement thesky blue. it’s a really pastel, white theme. moving on the right side, i have a nightstandfrom west elm, and i love this thing. it’s really expensive so i only got oneinstead of getting two nightstands. i was like, “am i really going to use two? i think i only need one.â€
i was trying to be very minimal here. so i got one nightstand and on top is my lavendairelamp, the lavender lamp from urban outfitters. i just saw that online, i thought it reallyfit with my pastel theme. i had to have something lavender-colored inmy room so i got that. and i have this rose quartz that i got fromtarget, and i like the dreamy theme going on here. some essentials that i keep in my nightstandare: my journal, my pen, and lavender essential oil, as well as hairties and stuff.
those are some things that i like to do before i sleep. i like to journal before i sleep sometimes. i like to put on lavender essential oil becausethe smell really relaxes you. and i’ll tie my hair up when i read andstuff. moving onto this corner of the room: this is probably the corner that i haven’tshown in videos. i have this big painting here. i painted it myself, and originally i boughtthis giant canvas to put on top of my bed
because length-wise it fits on top of my bed. so i painted it and, although i could putit there, i haven’t because i really like the colorsand the textures of this painting. i was taking photos of it to use in my videos,and i was like, “i could really use as a background fora flat lay.†i think the reason it’s taking me so long to put things up on the walls is because i’mscared to commit. once you put something up, there’s a hole in the wall.
i’m just not ready yet. anyway that’s why i put this painting here. it makes me happy because the door is there. when i walk in, i see the painting and the colors are basically an expressionof me: pastel, everything white, dreamy, airy, fresh, you guys get the point. this thing that i’m sitting on is calleda chaise lounge. i just thought it was so cute. i saw a photo on pinterest where it was achaise from ikea
and there was a laptop with the throw blanketand i thought it looked really cute. i thought, “i’d love to get one for myroom and be able to read in the corner.†well, i ordered this online. it’s a little smaller than i imagined itwas online, and for some reason i haven’t done muchreading here. i prefer to read on my bed. but it’s nice and it gives me a lot of realestate to put clothes on, so when my room’s not clean, generally this thing is filled with my outfitsthat i don’t want to put away yet.
also, this thing that’s hanging off of thechaise is actually called a macrame. i have no idea how to pronounce this thing. basically it was handmade by my friend anh. she has a blog where she’s selling these. i’ll link that below: “girl and the wordâ€. i saw her post about her handmade items andi thought it was really cute so ideally this was one item i was going toput on my wall right here. you know, this wall to the left of me wasthe wall i was planning to decorate and put things up,
things that inspire me. i have some ideas of what i want to put up but i want to gather everything before i commit. i’m just that kind of person. i don’t know if i could ever be able tocommit to something on the walls. next up is my vanity area, and this is wherei spend a lot of my time if i’m in my room. i love the chair. it’s the ghost chair, it’s a replica soit’s not the real thing because it’s expensive. but it’s the ghost chair with an ikea furrug on the seat so you’re not sitting
on something hard and cold. i got that inspiration from pinterest as well. i thought it would be nice to have a vanitywhere i could journal and do my makeup. turns out: i don’t really use that tablefor journaling. the ghost chair is too high, it’s like an awkward position. so i just use it to do makeup. i have my makeup acrylic cases that i really like.
i don’t know if we need to talk about mymakeup right now. over on the right i have a himalayan saltlamp that my mom gave me. himalayan salt lamps, if you don’t know,have health benefits. it’s kind of like a-i’m not sure if it’sspiritual. i think it has actual benefits, like physical, for your health. for example, it releases negative ions thatclean the room. it’s kind of like a natural purifier, andit works when the lamp is turned on. when the salt is heated, that’s when thenegative ions happen.
you guys can totally research this, maybe i’ll post a link below on himalayansalt lamps and their benefits. i really love this thing. i keep it on at all times, through the dayand through the night. i think it really actually helps brings acalm vibe into my room, i’m not even kidding. to the right of my vanity i put this readinglamp. originally that lamp was right here for me to read, but i figured i didn’t reallyread as much here, so i put it there so it’s like my face lamp when i do my makeupat night, which is not ideal but it works.
under my vanity, i keep a tissue box, nailpolish, makeup that i don’t use on the daily. lastly, up top i have this white lamp thati got to complement the white, dreamy, calm theme of this room. that’s it for my room tour. i hope that wasn’t too boring. i feel like it’s very simple but it makesme feel good and relaxed when i come in here. i love the pastel colors, i love the dreamyairy-ness of this place, and it’s just amazing. alright, thank you guys so much for watching. let me know in the comments
