Room renovation

I've been planning to renovate my room for some years, but a few weeks ago I finally decided to go in action. Some pieces of furniture were just so old and used that they need a replacement. Writing desk for example was from my father’s childhood, carpet was at least 40 years old and so on. Of course my father thinks that new furniture is not necessary, but I don’t really care for antiques – joke. So I wanted to replace my desk and carpet, buy smaller chest of drawers, new office chair and maybe some accessories. Quite some things, right? I’m almost done with renovation now. The hardest thing was filled up new closet space and decided what I need to throw away. I’m still a bit confused and often searching for my things, because I don’t remember where I put them.

Carpet was first and the hardest thing to choose. It was also more expensive that I originally wanted to pay for, but I’m very satisfied with my purchase. It’s made of natural materials, very soft to touch and what is the most important, it gives me that comfortable feeling of home. I choose natural brown and beige colors, with some addition of orange and blue. It includes great mixture of colors, somehow neutral, but not boring. Of course, that’s my opinion. At the beginning of my search, I wanted carpet in gray palette, but in person that looked somehow too serious and sad. I’m obsessed with gray when it comes to shoes and bags, but there’s no enough room for it in my home décor.

New desk is smaller, but wider. I bought smaller then I own, because I don’t need so much drawers anymore. I wanted something simple, sleek and elegant, just to put my computer and lamp on. It was not so easy to choose, because a lot of desks are just too wide for my small room. Two made in final round, at the end this one won.

Chair was bought as my early birthday present by my boyfriend. This is one of a few I actually like, I just this kind of chairs are so ugly. I like that is small, elegant and coated in fabric. I hate cheap fake leather. Maybe it’s not the most comfortable on the world, but I can still improve that with some pillow. I like it, thank you Krištof!

Desk lamp. I don’t know which one should I buy, I’m just sure about the color – it will be silver. I think black would be too ˝sharp˝ for my room. Also I’m not super exited about newer technologies; I like older versions of lamps more. For now I installed one of my older lamps back, it needed some deeper cleaning and now it’s great again.

Smaller chest of drawers or ˝komoda˝ (I believe that’s Polish) as we say replaced old wooden box where I keep things that I don’t use anymore. It was full of my school books, toys (to be clear, toys from my childhood ;)). I’ll finally throw that away, but I’ll keep my Lego’s of course. I picked ˝komoda˝ with 2 drawers and some shelf space under them. In drawers I put my fragrances and jewelry that I don’t wear often. Shelves are new home for my shoes.

I forgot something important. I felt in love with small tabourets with wooden legs and fluffy fabric and had to buy one. I also invested in some green plants, hope they will have along and healthy life in my room. I’m still on a hunt for one of those bed covers, because my bedding is usually colorful and full of patterns and doesn’t fit in at this moment. I think simple cover will rescue the situation, I'm just not sure about it yet.
