There's nothing worse than the contrast of a beautiful girl in a boring room. If you are feeling restless with your royal bed chamber then why not give it a lolita themed make over? This process may seem daunting, but here are some tips to lolifying your room and transforming it into a frilly paradise!
Paint Your Walls- This is probably the most obvious tip to giving your any room a new look. Adding a fresh colour to your walls really does make a world of difference! If you are theming your room after sweet style then pastel colours are best, for classic style go with a muted shade like dusty rose, and for gothic why not try electric blue or maroon instead of traditional black (which is way too intense for walls anyway)?
Add Decals- For girls living in university dormitories like me it is impossible to paint your walls, but adding wall decals is a fun way to spice it up. You can get cute decals at places like Target and Wal-Mart and packs are usually around $10. Wall decals are removable and reusable so you won't damage the walls and you can take them to your next dorm room!

Display Your Accessories- Some accessories are just too cute to keep hidden in drawers! Instead of putting posters up why not create a lolita accessory display? You can use command strips to hang up your favorite bags, head bows and necklaces, making your room cuter and also keeping those expensive trinkets out of harms way!
Paint Your Furniture- If you are really committed to lolifying your room you can paint your furniture! Use the same shade of spray or regular paint to coat your tables, desks, closet doors and bookshelves. Once it's dry you can paint cute matching designs on them (or use a stencil if you aren't artistically inclined). The uniformity of your furniture will really pull your room together!
Purchase a Dress Form- Many lolitas buy their own dress forms to decorate their rooms with. You can decorate it with a special coordinate that you love to look at, maybe one that's a little too fancy to wear on normal occasions, and it will make your room feel like a cute lolita boutique!
I hope that this has helped inspire you to cutify your room! I'd love to see the finished result, so please take some pictures and show me!
Such cute ideas! ; u ; Thank you for sharing them~
ReplyDeleteI wish I could do so.
ReplyDeleteBut sadly I live in an apartment which is owned by a housing association, and we are for the most part not allowed to redecorate the apartments, since we have to deliver it back in the same state that we got them when we move out... and I also live with my BF so I don't have the possibility to loli-fy a room at all XD
plus I want it more classic lolita, rather than sweet :C
Dress forms are an awesome way to spiffy up a room - I made my own using duct tape and stuffed it with newspaper. ^_^
ReplyDeleteso cute ideas! I'd love to own a pretty dress form, like the ones you find in expensive boutiques...
ReplyDeletewhen I moved I tried to make my new room look so it fits my way to dress - somewhere between classic, gothic, cute and a little bit of punk ^^ I think a sweet-themed room wouldn't really suit me, but I like my room the way it is now (if you're curious, I photographed it here:http://ff-and-ss.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-new-home.html)
Thank you for the tips! I will try to use some of them when I will study in college next year. My home will probably be two or three hours away and I will have to live with my grandmotherr, so I was searching for ideas to decorate my room! I especially like the mannequin idea.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking into getting a Gyaru/Lolita room, I even made a blog post about it. But sometimes me and my mum like to procrastinate, so yeah :'P I can see my room transforming into a Lolita/Gyaru room around the beginning of next year, mid-Jan earliest.
