#2 Declutter your Room

Clean up: Probably the most important and daunting step in your aesthetic room makeover, is to decide what things you would like to keep or get rid of. Put on your favorite aesthetic room playlist and get yourself in the room makeover mood! Get rid of trash or throw away any broken items.

Donate: Spend some time going through your things and really ask yourself... "do I really need this?" or "is this just taking up too much space?" If your goal is to truly transform your space, you've got to be willing to part with those items that you have grown out of. If you want to be really thorough, sort through everything in your room—all your books, shoes, clothes, pictures, jewelry, makeup, movies, CDs, knickknacks—everything! For items that have sentimental value to you, consider storing them in another room or look at storing them under your bed or closet. That way, they aren’t on display but you can still take them out and look at them when you’re feeling nostalgic.

Organize your space: Put away the clothes you are keeping in your closet and remove any items still on your floor. Put away any school and stationary supplies in desk drawers and take advantage of any storage you have available. Now that you room is decluttered and clean you are all set with progressing to the fun part!

If your room is generally dark with little natural light, try stick with lighter tones.
