Change your Room

You’re all grown up now—old enough to drive, or even to vote—but somehow, your bedroom hasn’t quite grown up with you. Maybe it’s time to retire those cutesy posters and dusty old stuffed toys, and turn your room into a space that reflects who you’ve become. This Christmas, why not ask your ‘rents for a room makeover? And ask your friends to chip in for some knickknacks, too! Giving your room a facelift is a great way to ring in the New Year! Don’t know where to begin? Here are a few things you might want to add to your Christmas shopping list!

Don’t be afraid to mix solid-colored pillows with prints like stripes and flowers—the key is to tie everything together through color. New beddings. Or, for that matter, a new bed.
