What is Indie Aesthetic? 

The indie aesthetic is based on individuality and independence. There are two camps of Indie, as the aesthetic underwent a modern resurgence in 2019-2020 labeled Indie Kid. Indie Kid is a bright, colorful style which rose to fame again through the app TikTok and centers around bright colors, 2000s-style fashion, and a skater lifestyle. The original Indie style did not include such bright colors and was considered more "alternative" by today's standards

How to make your room look Indie Kid Aesthetic:

Below are our Top 5 Design Tips to turn your room into a bright and colorful indie kid aesthetic room. 

 #1 Indie Wall colors 

Now before you start going design-crazy, you’ll need to pick a starting color palette. Whether you go with a ton of coordinating colors or keep it simple at just one or two, you should always have one foundation color to ground the room. Some good colors that really fit well with the indie kid aesthetic style include: pale yellow or green tones, bright orange or just a simple white foundation. 

#2 Indie Wall + Ceiling Décor 

Now that you have the base color for room, you can start adding vibrancy and detail to your walls and ceiling. This can include a collage of small posters of indie artwork, painted cd`s, vinyl records, bright luminous colored stickers, hanging green vines, floating butterflies, or a nice piece of tapestry. The general design idea is to have lots of contrasting colors and patterns that all compete for your attention, but together create a really unique aesthetic style to your room. See below a few indie room wall ideas to get you started:

#4 Indie Bed and Pillows

Moving onto the bed, some great ideas for your indie room bed includes bedding patterns similar to the above, with the like of cow print patterns, bright daisy sunflower prints or just a plain monotone color duvet like pale green or orange.  Plush anime toys or pillows also add to the indie bed aesthetic and round off the cute and cozy indie kid feel. 

#5 Indie Décor 

Indie aesthetic room decor is all about creating a cozy and eclectic space that reflects your unique personality and interests. This style of decor is often inspired by vintage, bohemian, and retro design elements, and incorporates a mix of textures, patterns, and colors.

One key element of indie aesthetic room decor is the use of natural materials such as wood, jute, and linen. This can be seen in the use of wooden furniture, woven rugs, and macrame wall hangings. These materials add warmth and texture to the space, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Another element of indie aesthetic room decor is the use of eclectic and vintage decor pieces. This can include vintage posters and prints, thrifted furniture, and unique flea market finds. These pieces add a sense of history and character to the space, and can help create a personalized and one-of-a-kind look.

In terms of color scheme, indie aesthetic room decor often incorporates warm and earthy tones such as rust, mustard, and olive green, as well as deep jewel tones like navy and burgundy. These colors can be used in textiles such as throw pillows, blankets, and curtains, as well as in wall decor and accessories.

Indie aesthetic room decor also often incorporates plants and greenery, adding a natural and organic element to the space. This can include potted plants, hanging planters, and even dried flowers and botanical prints.

In summary, indie aesthetic room decor is all about creating a cozy and eclectic space that reflects your unique personality and interests.
