Cozy-up your room!

Cold weather keepin' ya inside? Sigh. If the weather outside is frightful, keeping your room cozy is a must. Spruce up your space so it's all warm 'n' toasty before winter sets in.
 

An adorable fleece blanket is great to snuggle up to in snowy weather. No need to stash it when you're done—just toss it over a chair or fold it at the bottom of your bed to give your room a super comfy feel.

 

Bird Over Poppies Fleece Throw by Masha D’Yans, $20, urbanoutfitters.com

TIP: The warmest colors for rooms are typically reds, oranges, and browns. For a fast fix without painting four walls, throw some colored pillows on your bed for a burst of cozy.

 

Kick back in bed with some books or homework. This fab bed desk is perf for your laptop or your copy of Jane Eyre. Lounge in your jammies all day but still get your work done.

 



Wood Bed Desk with Tilt Top, $30, bedbathandbeyond.com

TIP: While cramming for quizzes and tests in bed is usually a big no-no, studying in bed is OK—as long as you stay focused. Making flashcards and copying some notes are both bed-worthy moves. As a reward relax with a movie under your covers when you're done!


Cozy up a corner or two with some cute candles! Lighting a few around your room adds just the right touch of whimsy and a way-sweet smell. Just remember to blow out the flame when you’re peacin' out of your place! 



Essential Home Creamy Vanilla 3 Piece Candle and Reed Diffuser Set, $15, kmart.com
 

TIP: Reed diffusers are a great alternative to candles since they're less messy and you don't have to blow 'em out before you leave.

 

Flip a switch and place a little lamp next to your bed for some extra soft light. Adding some illumination always ups a space's cheer factor. A glitter lava lamp adds sparkle to your space.

 



LAVA® Glitter Table Lamp, $30, amazon.com
 

TIP: There are two super important places to have light in your room: your desk and your bedside table. Choose a fun, funkier lamp for a dash of pizzazz while you're solving math problems. An easily reachable lamp right near your sleep space is best for late-night reading.


An area rug is an instant room booster. A shag will style up your space and add some funk to your floor Already have a carpeted room? No prob! Throw one down anyway...a little extra cushion never hurt anyone!

 



Leaf Silhouette Black & White, $40, walmart.com
 

TIP: Don't wanna shell out the big bucks? Ask your fam or friends if they have any extra carpet squares from any recent room redos. Cut into a creative shape—like a heart—to make it even cuter!

MOD MOD MOD MOD I need to redo my room! I can't really move anything because my room is SO small. We rent out house so we can't paint the walls either. I need cheap fun bright things to do in my room! Please help... thanks!(:

 

 

Hey babe. I totally feel you about needing to change up your space, but not being able to paint. There are tons of things you can do to spruce up your room. If you want to make your room look larger try adding a fun mirror. Try removable wall stickers, posters, new curtains, wall tapestries, etc.  Why not make a collage of fashion inspiration or fun times with friends and put that up? These posts might also help: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/06/10/Brighten-up-your-bedroom-for-under-20.aspx  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/07/22/rearrange-room.aspx

Mod mod mod! Ok, so I have no money, don't want to get it by extra chores or stuff, only 11 so not able to babysit, and I DESPRATLY need a makeover to my room. I want to making it very cozy. Any tips? P.S-I can only move 2 peces of furniture: night stand, and toychest. P.P.S-not allowed to hng things up on the wall HHHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPPP

 

Hey girl! Move some stuff around and bring out some fresh decorations. Ask your mom for things she doesn't want anymore and add a lamp or two to make it cozier!
