Your room can say a lot about you. That's why you need to decorate properly. According to Cosmopolitan, here are a few ways to make your room look a little more grown up:
1 Swap Your Posters for Pictures
As much as you love your band posters, they can come across as a little childish. That's why you should replace them with a framed photo of your favorite band members!
2 Swap Your String Lights for Actual Lights
String lights make your room look whimsical. But if you'd prefer to have your room like mature and meticulous, you should buy actual lights that hang from the wall and ceiling.
You're old enough to light a candle in your room and remember to blow it out, so don't hesitate to buy a few of them.
4 Swap Your Kiddie Bedding for Adult Bedding
You can tell the difference between a kid's bedroom and an adult's bedroom, just by looking at the sheets. Find something that's a little less colorful and a little more mature.
5 Swap Your Stray Bottles for a Liquor Cabinet
You don't want to leave a case of beer on the floor. Instead, buy a liquor cabinet or a fancy cart to hold all of your alcohol.
6 Swap Your Mason Jars for Vases
Your flowers deserve to be placed in an actual vase. Don't just stick them in the first things you see.
7 Swap Your Door Mirror for a Floor Mirror
You still need a full-length mirror, but now that you're older, you should buy one that stands on its own.
8 Toss Your Medusa-Head Light
Yes, we all know how functional and convenient that five-prong crazy in every direction light is, however it's not very adult. So try swapping that crazy home accessory for a stand up floor lamp that's both decorative and functional to give your space a more grown up look.
9 Your Still Using Plastic Drawer Carts
If you haven't tossed that Sterilite floor cart with those ubber snazzy plastic drawer bins then you're just not living like an adult. Try some flexible storage bins that fold up when your not using them, or even get yourself a decorative cube organizer!
10 Swap Tapestries for Statement Art Pieces
Tapestries always seem like a good idea until you realize they're dust magnets that aren't all that grown up to begin with. Swap out those allergy causing tapestries for other statement art pieces or even a super cool wall map.
Tiffany I'm clearly living in a giants kids house then #noshame 😂
Pearlfect08 I guess I have a kiddie bedroom. Lol I love it tho
Tinamarie I agree with everyone here! I also use wallflowers and candles, we all like personality and we all like what we like. But good post.
J I think these are great tips. You can can still express your personality thru more mature pieces, but everyone likes what they like.
Mystique A lot of good tips, but I think your room should represent your personality and creativity more then your age.
Nicky I love my bedroom it's colorful and represents me personally. I think that's how a space should be no matter how old you are, mature or not. Your space is you and it's for you to feel your best in
Heidi I use candies and air freshers
