I just recently redecorated my room for the first time since middle school and I am happy to share my results with you! I was trying to go for a more Tumblr look and it turned out fantastic! If you aren't familiar with the word, "Tumblr", it is a social media and a term used to describe an aesthetic look, a hipster behavior and\or minimalist lifestyle. I got my inspiration (and the photos above) from my Pinterest! It's my favorite app for so many reasons, but the main one is for all kinds of inspiration. I am very active on Pinterest and upload my photos consistently. You can follow me here. I noticed that all the Tumblr bedrooms I looked at, had the same elements such as cute pillows, neutral tones + white walls, an assortment of Polaroids + pictures, a vintage desk, a white faux fur rug and something hanging on the wall. I really wanted to decrease the amount of items in my room to a point where everything had its own place and purpose. I also aimed to be more organized with papers, clothes, jewelry etc. I provided links in this post to the exact Amazon spot where I purchased everything. So here are my 5 affordable and Tumblr ways to redecorate your room! 1) Pictures + Fairy lightsThis is my favorite part of my room! My wall was super white and boring before I put my lights and photos up. It was a total upgrade + I love seeing my photos every time I walk into in my room. This is an easy, affordable and very Tumblr way to redecorate your room. We spent half an hour putting up the lights in a coordinated way, but it was worth it. I cannot wait to take more Polaroids to fill up my wall. Polaroids are great gifts, but can be pricey because you have to buy the film separate and it is about $1 for one photo. I have been thinking about selling some of my prints, such as the three above. The one on the left was taken in Hau'ula, Hawaii and the other two were from Portugal. Let me know in the comments if you would like to buy my prints! I have the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 in the color raspberry. You can buy it for $60 (film comes separate) on Amazon here. The LED Polaroid fairy lights come with 20 photo clips for $10. You can purchase a similar from Amazon one here. 2) Wall DecalsMy room colors are different shades of blue and grey + these wall decals definitely added to the room! The dot decals came in a huge pack and we still have some left over. You peel them off individually like a sticker, which lets you be as creative as you want. I spent 15 minutes decorating the corner and then 5 minutes for the pineapple decal, on the opposite wall. Pineapple quote decal here for $18. The silver wall decal dots were $8 for 200 and you can get it here. 3) White throw rugThis is a Tumblr bedroom essential! It really pulls everything in the room together. You can put it in the middle of your room or under a piece of furniture. I put it underneath this vintage vanity that my mom bought for my sister at a thrift store a few years ago. We sometimes pull the rug out and use as a photo backdrop for product shots. The vanity is used as jewelry + hair accessory storage, furniture decoration and as a desk. You can buy the rug from Amazon ($25) here. 4) Necklace HANGERI love necklaces, but I needed someplace to store them without it getting tangled. I love having a jewelry hanger because it hangs them separate and far enough apart so they don't twist. I enjoy how you can easily find the one you are looking for because they are all on display. Jewelry hangers are elegant + organizational. They come in many styles and you can hang rings, bracelets and necklaces. You can buy a similar tree hanger here ($23). My favorite necklaces are simple styled gold + silver ones from places like Forever 21. My Sunrise Shell necklace I bought for $40 here. 5) Back of DOOR HOOK for bagsI had so many bags and nowhere to put them, so I purchased a hook to hang them on. It was cheap + simple and went right on the back of my door for easy organization. A lot of Tumblr rooms I looked at had clothing racks that you hang some clothes or bags on, but I didn't have any room it. This hook works way better for smaller rooms! It has 4 prongs so you can hang multiple bags or coats on it at one time. You can buy it here for $9! These are my four most used + favorite bags! The best purse I have ever owned is the medium sized black American Eagle one. I brought it to Europe and I use it on a day to day basis. it has multiple compartments, it is the perfect size and is a great messenger/cross-body purse. You can get a similar one here for $25. I use the smaller black bag (also from AE) if I don't need to bring a lot of items with me. You can buy it ($40) here with the pom pom key chain ($8) here. My favorite backpack is from Vans! It has a mesh exterior and is great for traveling. You can buy a similar one for $35 here. The key chain is from Shop Bando. Lastly, my favorite beach bag is from Rice Love. You can get yours for $38 here. Use my code: ALEXASPRINGER for 20% off at checkout. I am thinking of setting up a print shop of some of my best photos. Which ones do you like?
