Here we go..

My room is ugly. 

     The walls are bright white, the furniture is nothing out of the ordinary, and the walls are completely empty, other than a doctor's appointment written on the wall with a pencil from June of last year. 

     There's nothing worse than being a girl going into interior design with a super creative mind and having this completely bizarre room which I spend most of my time in. 

Something must be done!

     However money definitely doesn't grow on trees, and so I came up with Project Room. A project that will kill two birds with one stone; boredom and keep the piggy bank alive. I'm going to come up with ways to enhance the quality of life within those walls in a way that will be pleasing to the eye and as much use out of DIYs as possible! I know I'm not the only one suffering from this issue, and so I really hope I can inspire others to do the same and believe that, yes, it's possible to have this done with a small budget, and, no, you do not need thousands of dollars to get this done - all you need is inspiration. So with a new year come new goals and a fresh start, I'm hoping to get this done by the end of November, which leaves me with 3 months of work. Well time is ticking!  

Let's begin! 

The first thing that must be done is choosing a theme, asking yourself what is that you want this room to remind you of? What do you want to feel when you are in it? I thought since it's my bedroom I'd like it to be relaxing, something that will calm me down and create a soothing environment. I thought of a beach; the waves, the blue tones that are super relaxing to look at, and just the thought of a beach automatically relaxes me, and so this is what I'm going to focus on. Your's could be anything you wish.

When you think beach what comes to mind? What colours come in mind?

Water - blues 

Sand- yellows 

Plants around - Greens

Sunset - Pinks, reds, and oranges

However, every colour has it's job when it comes to setting your mood..

-Blues are soothing 

-Yellows are energetic

Green- is nature and is calm 

Red- anger, warmth, energy 

Purple - royal colour and is very rich

Pink- warm, happy

Orange - energetic, fun

Brown - calm 

White- purity 

Black - evil, power 

After choosing your colour I highly suggest doing some research about the colour and make sure it suits you mentally. 
Also consider;

-size of room, could be very affected by a dark colour and feel smaller and very claustrophobic. Should consider lighter shades of light colours. 

-natural light, if room gets a lot of light the colour of the walls may be too bright and make your eyes feel like they're falling out. Consider something that won't pop out or perhaps paint that won't be shiny.

After doing so, you may go to your closest Home Depot or any store that sells paint, really, and collect a few of those colourful papers that show you the shades of each colour. See which colour you're interested in and take a few of each colour to have lots of options. Take tape and stick them on the wall that gets the most sun, see what it looks like during the day and in the evening. I changed my mind that way at least 15 times because the colour looks nice in the store but very different on your walls. 

My final decision was "Taking the Plunge" blue and "Cappuccino" beige from Home Depot. I decided I didn't want just one colour, but two, and to make it even more interesting I decided to make 2 accent parts on two of the walls. 
each wall will have a blue part that will just be a thick stripe from the ceiling to the floor. The paint is bought and is waiting to be applied the coming up weekend, as soon as that's done I will begin the DIYs. 
Until then...Ciao!
