Tumblr your bedroom

Hello world! 
To the hundreds of teenagers around the world who use tumblr, you can understand the daily struggle of seeing the pictures 'tumblr bedroom' and wishing your room could look just as cool. Well, I go through this struggle to, so this blog is going to be teaching you how to 'tumblr your bedroom' 
When looking at the majority of tumblr bedroom photographs, the most common things in them are posters and photos, lights and personality. These are the key things in really creating a tumblr bedroom. 
Ta- dah! These are the things from my bedroom that I think capture the tumblr look best. 

Step one: the lights 
A lot of teenage girls around the world, me being one of them, crave at some point to have fairy lights or cool creative ones strung around their room. For my lights I have used a set of 20 string paper lanterns from Typo ($20). You can actaully buy lights like these from a lot of popular branded teenager stores now which is absolutely amazing, but also but just pretty little fairy lights from a lot of stores. I also have a finding nemo nightlight and a Peter rabbit picnic style desk lamp (top left hand corner it has really cool figurines on the stand) which are both from my childhood. You can buy similar nightlights from a lot of children's stores, ikea and any cool lghting stores. My final light in my room is a clip on desk lamp which I lie because I can put it basically anywhere and it has a bendy neck which is perfect. Lights are one of the most important features of a tumblr bedroom, but I also find they had a cool creative side to your room :).

Step two: posters and photos. 
Posters and photos (postos), one of my favourite things in a bedroom. As much as my parents and most adults dislike them, postos are essential to a teenagers room, adding both tumblr effect but also personality and warmth which any bedroom needs. 
This feature doesn't need a whole lot of effort, just grab a few posters of your fave celebs or singers, whether they are printed or from a magazine and blue tack them up in your room in a cool pattern. Next, print out a stack of pictures of you and your besties, pets, family or just Instagram pictures of places and things and again blue tack them on your walls but this time in a collage form, so the edges all like up, or in a string its up to you (you can also chuck some pictures on your mirror too, if you have one in your room). 

Step three: personality 
The most crucial thing when it comes to a bedroom, is personality. If your bedroom doesn't speak you, it's not your bedroom. It's a shell you sleep in. 
Weather it's your furniture your paint colour bed cover, stuffed animals, whatever. A room NEEDS personality. Break down what means the most in your life and put it in your room. My room has cushions, a dark bed cover, electronics, light tan coloured furniture (another tip: COLOUR CODE MAKE IT MATCH), quotes posters, a bit of everything. Because that's who I am. I like a bit of everything. A girl should be able to walk into her bedroom and feel comfortable and happy, it's your kingdom and your happy place for you to rule. So go crazy and put yourself into your room you won't regret it :). 

So remember, all it really takes to have one of those incredible tumblr bedrooms we all see, is lights, posters and photographs and personality. If you have these items then congratulations! YOU HAVE A TUMBLR BEDROOM. Good for your girl :)
