Cute Desk Decorating Ideas for an Aesthetic Homework Space

As the kids head back to school, it’s time to start thinking about how to create an inspiring homework and study space for the coming year. You don’t have to break the bank to create a beautiful workspace; you simply need a few easy ideas to make an aesthetic desk area. In today’s blog post, I’m sharing some of the cutest and easiest ways to decorate a desk space for back-to-school season and beyond. (P.S: You can also use these ideas for your own work-at-home desk area or your office spaces!)

I recently gave my daughter’s room a teen room makeover with a loft bed; you can check out the full makeover right here. Let’s dive in to how we setup and organized her desk area, and how you too can create an organized, personalized workspace for your child… or for yourself!

Personalize It

To make you child’s desk area feel personal and match their style, consider adding some themed art or decals to the wall area. Come up with a fun theme that matches their personality, and purchase or create artwork to match. Consider painting the wall behind the desk in a pop of color that goes with the theme. Installing some removable wallpaper is also a fun update. Look for cute desk accessories like a mouse pad, small rug, desk lamp and office chair that further complement the mood and match the color palette.

For Little A’s new desk under her loft bed, I created a crystal & moon themed decal with my Cricut Maker and applied that to the wall. She loves collecting crystals, and this was the perfect, personal touch!

Use Multi-Functional Storage

Staying organized is a crucial element of maintaining a beautiful workspace. Try to minimize clutter and opt for multi-functional storage solutions. You can find functional desktop organizers and decorate them to fit your child’s aesthetic. With multi-functional storage, you can have everything you need within reach.

I found this handy desk organizer with drawers here on Amazon, and then I used my Cricut to cut out some labels and a crystal-themed design. I applied the labels to the drawers to help my daughter stay organized. The cute crystal design added to the top of the organizer matches her theme. Inside the organizer, she has lots of room for her favourite pens, pencils, markers, Post-It Notes, clips and more.

If you don’t have lots of desk drawers, you may want to consider multiple desk organizers for larger items like stationery and folders.

Keep Cords in Check

Messy power cords and cables everywhere is a common problem that can ruin the aesthetic of a desk. To keep cords at bay, consider using cord organizers or clips like these ones .. For cords that aren’t in use, wrap them neatly and secure them with a cord storage strap.

For my daughter’s homework desk, I made some DIY cord wraps with faux leather and velcro with my Cricut Maker. Then, I labeled some clear pencil cases to store the neatly wrapped cords and chargers all in one place.

Hang Some Inspiration

Whether it’s photos of your family or images that inspire your child, hanging items on the wall near their desk can add a personal touch to their workspace. From motivational quotes to photos of loved ones or even their creative work, framing them by the desk can create a wall decor that is both inspiring and functional.

If you don’t want to use a frame, you can purchase an inexpensive wall grid like this one . Then, art, photos, or even calendars can be easily hung with paper clips. You could also install pegboard for a similar function and look. Click here to see how I used a pegboard wall in my own home office!

Add Some Greenery

Plants are the perfect way to add a touch of nature and life to your desk. And if you’re not a fan of real plants, opt for artificial ones that look just as lovely and require no maintenance – perfect for kids! Placing a small succulent or a mini cactus on a desk can do wonders for brightening up a workspace. You can also hang a small pot on the wall next to your desk, or place a couple of small plants on a wall shelf. Not only do plants add to the aesthetic of a workspace, but they also have been proven to boost productivity and decrease stress levels.

Layer Your Desk Decor

Lastly, to create depth and visual interest on your desk, layer your decor. If your desk is too plain, it might look too sterile and uninviting (especially if it’s a white desk like my daughter’s). You can stack a few books or use a fun lamp to create height. Use a combination of vertical and horizontal arrangements for interest. Make sure you have enough space to work, but you can still create a charming aesthetic through subtle layering and texture.

Don’t forget to use the walls around the desk as part of your layering and height. Hang hooks on the wall for practical storage, or add some wall shelves for books and art. In my daughter’s modern desk area, I hung a small shelf on the wall for accessories and a hook for her headphones.

25 Examples of Aesthetic Note Layouts To Steal Right Now

Last Updated on April 29, 2024

Table of Contents

You’ve probably seen them on Instagram, Pinterest, or Tumblr: those cute notes with legible handwriting and tons of colors on the page. Perhaps you have classmates who do these on their notebooks as well. Aesthetic notes have been around for a while, but they’re currently enjoying more spotlight with most people stuck at home .

If you’ve always wanted your science or math notebooks to look Instagram-worthy, then you’re going to need a few pens and highlighters.

Why make aesthetic notes?

Why bother making notes appear cute or colorful?

For one, students learn differently . There are those who learn by doing, while others are more visual. For most kids and teens, notes are their lifeline. It helps them process information faster, as well as make sense out of difficult subject matters.

Second, aesthetic notes can help you study more efficiently because everything looks clean and well-organized. Many of these include helpful elements, too, such as graphs, bullet points, and diagrams. These make notes fun to read and review.

Lastly, cute notes can also benefit the whole class. For those taking digital lessons , why not scan and upload them to help your classmates with tricky topics? Set it up so they can add their own input and thoughts; thereby producing unique notes everyone will enjoy.

Basic tips for aesthetic note-taking

One of the best things about note-taking is that it doesn’t require a lot to get started. If you’ve ignored your notes up to this point, you can always get a fresh start with a new notebook .

First things first: gather essential materials like leaf papers, binders, pens, and highlighters. Don’t worry if you only have a couple of colored pens and no high-quality paper. Make do with what you have for now. Buy what you want later once you get the hang of it.

Next, practice your handwriting . This is perhaps the most important component to aesthetic note-taking. If you hate looking at your handwriting or you envy someone else’s, train your hands so they create beautiful, legible scribbles you – and those around you – can understand.

Another benefit is that your teachers don’t need to suffer while grading your essays. It’s a win-win situation, so try not to skip this process. Soon enough, you’ll find that you’re able to balance consistency and speed. Be patient and practice everyday .

Don’t forget to think about the overall style you want your notes to look like. Search the Web for inspiration. Aside from markers and highlighters, some students add stickers, notepads, and doodles . There’s NO hard and fast rule. Figure out the style that suits your studying habits as well as your personality.

Aesthetic notes to motivate you

Don’t beat yourself up if you draw wonky lines or your headers are uneven. The important things are that a) your notes are correct , and b) you’re having fun ! Despite people posting their notebooks online, keep in mind that notes are still personal – unless you want to share them.

Tiny imperfections are what make these aesthetic notes charming and delightful. So add your own twists. Let this collection of aesthetic notes inspire you to turn studying into an artform.

Homework Aesthetic

You'll Be Excited to Hit The Books in These Chic Studies

Whether you're cramming for an exam or overseeing an entire staff.

Every item on this page was hand-picked by a House Beautiful editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

Get a Little Moody

Equal parts relaxing and dramatic, this daring study space by GRT Architects boasts everything you'd need to get down to brass tacks, from bookshelves and versatile side tables to a cozy spot to perch. For a similarly moody hue in your own space, try River Blue by Benjamin Moore.

Go Bold and Brazen

If you're someone that thrives on vibrant energy, you're probably not going to be able to easily find your groove in a stark neutral space. Play into your work or study personality with decor that keys into exactly what it is that makes you tick. Here, designer Krsnaa Mehta relied on righteous jewel tones and custom art to enliven his personal study.

Make Room for Storage

Designer Eric Olsen carved out a dedicated area for his kids to focus on schoolwork. The study zone features custom pendants for ample lighting over a desk that seats multiple children to gather around for group projects or tutoring sessions. Built-in storage with cabinet enclosures ensures that books, school supplies, and other essentials are organized behind closed doors.

Carve Out a Comfort Nook

If you're one of those people who can't focus unless you're in your most comfortable sweats with a cup of coffee in hand, may we present: your dream space. Designer Jeffrey Alan Marks leaned into all things cozy when dreaming up this hideaway reading nook in his California beach home . With an emphasis on just the right amount of light, free space, and shelving—plus one insanely-comfortable daybed—it's the perfect spot to carve out time to brush up on your history lessons or just complete the day's Wordle.

Put Every Inch to Use

When space is at a premium—and a quiet spot to conduct business is the end goal—it's time to put every unused corner to use. Designer Corey Damen Jenkins proved just how versatile a few extra square feet could be in this Michigan home, where he transformed a lofted space above the foyer into a focus zone worthy of a CEO or 4.0 brainiac. All it took? A versatile shelving unit, comfy chair and bistro table from West Elm.

Find the Light

Even the most diligent among us are not immune to the need for a little study break every now and then. Give your mind somewhere beautiful to wander by posting up your study zone in front of a scenic window. In this home office designed by Heather Chadduck , an eclectic gallery wall frames a brightly-lit window, encased in trim painted Green Blue by Farrow & Ball .

At the end of the day, having a dedicated space to study or work is far more important than how fancy—or big—said space happens to be. Need convincing that big things can happen in small spaces? Take this cute corner as proof positive. Designer Tariq Dixon transformed a tiny unused corner of his apartment into an inspiring place to write answer e-mails, and gather inspiration.

Sink Into Comfort

In the Sacramento home of designer Shavonda Gardner , a welcoming vintage Eames chair is all it takes to beckon passersby to stop and study (or read, or scroll) for a while. To make the rest of the space stand up to the stately vintage lounger, Gardner relied on an inky paint hue ( Caviar by Sherwin-Williams ) and personalized accessories.

Get Bookish in the Bedroom

For tweens and teens, there's no better spot for a study zone than in their bedroom—let's be honest, they only want to be in there anyway. Designer Katie Hodges hooked her grade-school client up with a study space that will carry her all through the way through high school (and beyond!), thanks to a custom built-in station with room for books, mementos, and more.

Keep It Consistent

In this Montana family cabin designed by Kylee Sshintaffer roomy benches and plenty of task lighting make this bonus room the perfect place to buckle down and study. The tight color scheme ensures that it fits right in with the rest of the home.

Do Double Duty

When designer Byron Risdon was tasked with carving out a WFH space in a petite Washington, D.C. apartment , he turned to an unlikely spot: the dining room table. By installing floating shelves and opting for an expansive dining table, Risdon gave his teacher client a place where he could hold class—and share a glass with friends afterward.

Clear the Way for Collaboration

You know what they say—two heads (or three, or four) are better than one. If you prefer collaboration over quiet (or just need a place to work on that pesky group project), consider doctoring up a study space that will allow you to work as a team. In this office space from House Beautiful's 2019 Whole Home, designer Dani Arps opted for an oversized work that could fit several thinkers at once.

That drab home office?

As Hilary Duff says, ✨so yesterday.✨

There’s no better feeling than gliding into a home office that you designed and curated specific to your design passions and helps you function in your work-from-home job. And there’s no better way to make your desk more inviting than being surrounded by things that spark joy for you.

That said, it’s easier said than done to snap your fingers and make a home desk aesthetic that works for you, so today, we’re breaking it down into the smallest little tips so you can start creating an aesthetic and cute home office space that you love.✨

Without further ado, here are 31 home office ideas to get your WFH desk a little more moody, a little more cozy, and a little more vibey, so you can be your most creative self, from aesthetic desk accessories to room design ideas and everything in between.

• Fairy lights , whether on your walls, hanging from your ceiling, wrapped inside a decor piece, or somewhere else creative. These instantly add some whimsy and texture to create a truly aesthetic room decor environment along with a little bit of lighting to boot!
• An authentic salt lamp , for warm and soothing vibes to your desk decor. Avoid these natural desk lamps if you have cats or pets that are prone to licking things, as these aren’t safe for your fuzzy little friends.
• Air plants add some greenery to your desk space without making it impossible to keep up with them! These need a sprinkling of water occasionally to thrive.
• Hanging terrarium , to keep your air plants, your favorite crystals, and other small pieces together in one place.
• Crystal display for decluttering your crystal collection for the wall. I love this planchette-shaped one I got from Etsy a few years ago!
• Dried lavender, for use as a no-upkeep floral bundle to place as added desk décor to instantly make your desk look like there’s nature all over it.
• Corkboard vision board, for visualizing your goals and manifestations each and every day. Tip: Have it detached from the wall so you can move it around as you please, especially if you don’t want extra noise filling up your walls.

8. Macrame wall hanging, for some immediate warmth and artisanal texture, especially in a flatter space without vintage home aspects like wainscoting or stone.

9. Antique clock, to find yourself at a local thrift store. I know, I know, we have our phones for this, but it’s nice to have something on the wall you can see all the time. Plus, it adds some texture and character to your space.

10. Lifted purple wireless aesthetic keyboard , to complement your desk with some extra pops of color and a fun typing experience to make work a bit more fun.

11. Chunky knit blanket , because who says you can’t work and be cozy at your office desk?

12. Woven rolling storage basket and filing cabinet, as an organizer and storing your papers but making it cute.

13. Pastel desk mat , for giving you a colorful desk without sacrificing aesthetic. (There are lots of patterns and edge types of your desk pad to choose from, btw!)

14. Gallery wall frame set, like this natural wood set of 3 from Etsy or this 9-piece one from Amazon .

15. Oil diffuser , for keeping at your work desk (but far enough away from electronics) to keep your favorite smells in the room. It’s also important to limit these if you have pets, especially cats. Plus, this matte black design makes your desk look aesthetic as heck!

16. Palo santo and/or sage bundle to burn by your desk workspace.

17. Decorative bowl for burning your palo santo, sage, or for storing little trinkets.

18. Coasters , so you can sip your favorite tea stress-free with a cute aesthetic and protect your desktop.

19. All-natural candles to decorate your desk with so your space can smell beautiful and be toxin-free. This candle should complement your office furniture and desk design through a simple, minimalist design that almost makes it look like a curated home decor piece on its own.

20. A dreamcatcher near your desk area, because who says these can’t just live in your bedroom? If you’re doing it right, you should be dreaming and in-flow in your office, too!

21. A tarot deck for when you need to pull for yourself, like this Brian Froud one we have.

22. An altar corner, designed with crystals, your tarot cards, candles, and anything else you need for moments of peace and prayer in your home office.

23. Stained glass in your windows, to make inbound sunbeams turn beautiful colors and shades and really make your desk a colorful spot to get creative.

24. A snack corner to add to your office space hidden in a drawer so you can have easy access without loud labels clouding up your aesthetic.

25. Crystal suncatchers to reflect even more sunlight into your work area without it being overly bright.

26. A beautiful and functional desk chair, like this Branch ergonomic chair or this kneeling wooden chair. Related:  The 6 best office chairs for long hours and working creatively (2023)

27. A new desk, like this Sand & Stable Tobage Cain Drawer . Bonus points if it can be a standing desk too, like this Fezibo adjustable desk!

28. Color-changing light bulbs , so you can change the vibe of your WFH space every season, every day, or every hour if you’d like.

29. Cute hardware to add character to your furniture , whether they’re old vintage pieces looking for another life or a new piece

30. A natural jute rug, to add to the aesthetic of your space through warmth and grounding to your space without toxins.

31. Gorgeous witchy boho curtains , because who wouldn’t want these luxurious flowing beauties near their super cute desk?

I hope some of these aesthetic desk setup options help you get a little creative with your workspace so you can make your desk area exactly as you want it to be. There are so many decor styles you could be influenced by but with these little moody and cozy desk decor ideas, hopefully, you have a jumping-off point to make your WFH experience just the way you’d like.

20 Aesthetic Work Desk Ideas to Create Your Perfect Workspace

Loved the read? Please share or comment, and we'll deliver even better content!

As I sit here, sipping on my warm cup of coffee, I can’t help but think about how much of my day is spent at my work desk. 

It’s not just a space where I tackle my to-do list; it’s where creativity blossoms and ideas come to life. 

So, I’ve been on a quest to find 20 aesthetic work desks that not only boost productivity but also inspire and add a touch of beauty to our daily grind. 

Let me share with you these little havens of creativity that I’ve fallen in love with.

Quick Navigation

Black Vibes

Wrapping things up.

I’ve always believed that the space around us can significantly impact our mood and productivity. 

That’s why, when it comes to creating cozy vibes around my work desk, I pay extra attention to the little details that make a big difference. 

For starters, I lean towards a warm color palette—think soft whites, gentle beiges, and earthy tones. 

These colors have a magical way of making a space feel more inviting and relaxed.

I also love adding a variety of textures to bring warmth and depth. 

A plush rug underfoot, a soft throw over my chair, and even a few fluffy cushions can transform the feel of my work area. 

And let’s not forget about lighting; a warm, dimmable desk lamp creates a soothing ambiance that’s perfect for those long hours.

Plants are my go-to for adding life and a breath of fresh air to my desk. 

A small, easy-to-care-for potted plant or a vase of fresh flowers does wonders for my spirit. 

Lastly, personal touches like my favorite photos, a cute mug for my pens, and a couple of inspirational quotes framed nearby keep me grounded and remind me of what’s important.

These simple tips and tricks have turned my work desk into a cozy retreat that I look forward to spending time at. 

It’s all about creating a space that feels uniquely yours and where comfort meets functionality.

When I think about infusing my work desk with black aesthetic vibes, it’s all about channeling elegance and sophistication into my workspace. 

I start with a sleek, black desk as the centerpiece—it’s not just a practical piece but also a statement of style. 

To complement this, I choose accessories with dark hues and matte finishes, from a stylish lamp to minimalist stationery holders.

Choosing materials plays a huge role in achieving that chic look. 

I opt for smooth, matte black metals, rich, dark woods, and even touches of smoked glass to add layers of texture without overwhelming the space. 

For a bit of contrast and to keep the area from feeling too heavy, I sprinkle in some grey or silver accents—they add a subtle sparkle that beautifully offsets the darker tones.

I’m particularly fond of incorporating geometric shapes and clean lines in everything from my desk organizer to wall art. It keeps the aesthetic sharp and modern. 

And while the color scheme might be on the darker side, I make sure there’s plenty of light. 

A sleek, black desk lamp with a soft, white bulb ensures that the space is well-lit, creating an inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for productivity.

In terms of decor, less is definitely more in achieving that black vibe. 

A few select pieces—a monochrome clock, a black-framed inspirational quote, or a single, striking piece of art—stand out against the simplicity of the dark background. 

This approach not only enhances the elegance but also ensures that my desk remains a place of focus and creativity.

As we wrap up our exploration of 20 aesthetic work desks, I’m filled with hope that you’ve found your slice of inspiration to make your workspace a reflection of what you love.

It’s been a joy sharing these ideas with you, and I can’t wait to hear how you bring your own space to life.

If there is one thing that will instantly make your desk look more put together it's with a desk chair without wheels and an accent pillow.

Fill your wall space with matching photo collage grids and there you have it, a budget-friendly desk makeover that will take your desk decor from "ugh time to work..." to "I can't wait to work!"

16. Decorate With Baskets & Table Books

Let's be honest, it's super easy to just throw around things we aren't using at the moment onto the shelves or in drawers especially when working at a desk. So, it may not even be the desktop that is making your space look dull but actually the mess underneath.

The perfect solution to a messy-looking desk is a super easy one: baskets. Buy a couple of cute baskets to organize any shelves and add neatly organized stacks of aesthetic table books and you are guaranteed to be instantly happier with your space. 

You can obviously buy table books at your local book store or Amazon but I'll be the first to admit, they are definitely a little pricey. I used this easy table book hack in my apartment instead and it saved me so much money while looking just as good (if not better).

17. Matching Minimalist Desk Decor

Decorating your desk doesn't have to mean filling every square inch with decor. Keep it clean and simple with matching desk essentials like this laptop stand and desktop mat.

You would probably already have most of these desk decor items anyways so all you have to do is replace the normal versions with more aesthetic desk decor options!

18. Maximize Space With Simple Decor & Organization

See, you can make even the smallest desks usable and super aesthetically pleasing! And honestly, the smaller the desk, the less you need to worry about decor. 

Accenting with a few staple pieces such as framed prints and a small mirror, and using small desk organizational products will allow you to keep your desk clean and organized while still creating a focal point in your space.

19. Vary The Size Of Your Wall Decor

One of the biggest tips I have for designing a unique and interesting space is to incorporate variety into all of your decor. Whether it's mixing different sized vases and plants or hanging a variety of picture frames, this is one tip you 100% need to be using when picking out desk decoration for work or your home office.

33 Aesthetic Room Ideas for a Trendy Space

Design your bedroom with on-trend ideas in a range of aesthetic styles

The Spruce / Jason Donnelly

Aesthetic rooms are having a major moment. Popular especially among TikTok users, aesthetic rooms are characterized by the presence of greenery (think plants or hanging vines, both real or faux ); muted colors (neutrals and pinks are most common); and fun light fixtures (like LED strands or string lights ).

What Does "Aesthetic" Mean?

The term "aesthetic," when used in the decor examples featured on TikTok, Instagram, and other image-based websites, refers to any attractive room style that makes use of personal touches that are also on-trend.

For TikTok and Instagram enthusiasts, "aesthetic" can apply to a room of any style—from cottagecore to indie or postmodern—but personal expression and trend-setter timeliness will always be just as important as the classic standards for visual appeal.

"Personal expression plays a major role in what is deemed aesthetic, as there are so many different design styles to draw from," TikTok user and design enthusiast Emily Shaw says. Many aesthetic rooms also incorporate personal touches like photo collages, printed photographs, and art prints.

Looking to bring the trend into your own space? Look no further than the aesthetic bedrooms below.

Add Calming Pink Tones

@gabysbohohome / Instagram

When in doubt, try an accent wall . This pale pink adds warmth in an otherwise neutral bedroom. Plants are a key component of aesthetic rooms, and what better way to display them than on a floating shelf? Dried pampas grass is also a glam touch and will last much longer than a traditional bouquet of flowers, making it a low-maintenance fave.

Stock Up on Candles

@lottaaliving / Instagram

Candles are also a must for any aesthetic room, whether they're real or battery operated . Scatter a few on your nightstand, dresser, desk, or anywhere else that could use a little bit of ambiance. If you have a nonworking fireplace in your room, you can always fill the insert with candles as well to fake the look of a roaring fire.

@bellazogheib / Instagram

Wall collages are a key component of aesthetic rooms. This budget-friendly idea is easy to recreate in your own space. Simply go through your collection of magazines, tear out pages that inspire you, and arrange them on the wall. Bonus points if you're able to stick to a particular color scheme, which will help make the setup look sleek.

Add Natural Scents

@daily.ren / Instagram

This room layers in different types of plants to create a collected, cozy feel. Fresh eucalyptus adds a subtle scent that will last for weeks. Let it dry naturally in the vase and it will keep for months.

Layer In Texture

@turning_number2_into_new_ / Instagram

Experiment with different textures to make a space feel more elevated and layered. In this room, dyed pink sheepskin pillows and a feathered pendant light pair wonderfully with traditional quilted bedding. And mixing in new patterns is fair game, too. Who can resist those spotted sheets?

Spell It Out in Neon

@knackeredmavis / Instagram

By no means are neon signs solely for commercial spaces. Neon lights are an excellent way to customize an aesthetic room, and the options are endless when it comes to choosing what to spell out. Whether you opt for your name, a favorite quote or phrase, or meaningful song lyrics, your neon design is sure to be the star of the show in your sleep space.

Take a Moon Shot

@inmimisgarden / Instagram

Moon phase garlands are a fixture in many aesthetic rooms. This accent piece looks great when hung over a bed but could also be installed above a desk or dresser. In this atmospheric bedroom, a small gallery wall above the bed adds more personality.

@makemynewbuildpretty / Instagram

This room features brighter colors than we see in many aesthetic rooms, with a vibrant bedspread, a pink accent wall that anchors the room, and a floating display shelf that serves as a cheerful focal point.

Work the Corners

@mydecorworld1 / Instagram

Make use of the corners of your room and use them to hang up little wall shelves, plants, or both. Even if your bedroom is small, you can still embrace the aesthetic look by getting creative with square footage.

Green the Windowsill

@plantenstek / Instagram

This windowsill is a makeshift home for a collection of plants. Windowsills also make for excellent places to set a stack of books, an alarm clock, or even a jewelry dish.

Keep It Zen

@astrid.huetti / Instagram

Keep it simple—nothing is more zen than white bedding. Plants in woven hanging baskets add warmth to even the most stark of spaces and are a happy compromise for those who aren't too crazy about color but want to add some life to their bedroom.

Utilize Lots of Textural Pieces

@suad_aziz / Instagram

Incorporating various textures into your bedroom will make it feel extra cozy and will add interest to an all neutral color palette. Hang a macrame plant holder on the wall, toss a knit blanket on your bed, and display some dried flowers to get started.

Don't Skimp on Lighting Options

@travelistamum / Instagram

Aesthetic rooms are all about creating ambiance. By picking up table lamps, string lights, and fixtures of that nature, you'll be able to read and relax in bed without the harsh glare of an overhead light.

Add a Photo Wall

@mkennajoe / Instagram

String lights plus rumpled, lived-in bedding is a winning recipe for a cozy aesthetic room. Add a personal touch to your bed area by turning your headboard into a photo wall.

Spell It Out

@brighteyesanddreamyspaces / Instagram

No aesthetic room is going to feature over-the-top word art, but a simple, motivational phrase is a go. Vibrant orange bedding makes a major statement, too.

Stay Neutral

Almost Makes Perfect

This bedroom is a neutral-lover's haven, with plenty of shapes, heights, and textures to keep the space interesting despite the low key palette.

@houseofharvee / Instagram

Soft shag carpet and rattan seating are fan favorites that blend together perfectly in this aesthetic room designed for a teenage girl. And how cool is the fan turned art piece that's hung above the bed?

Add Faux Vines

@alisizzle / Instagram

The vines strung up above this pet-friendly bed are a common characteristic of aesthetic rooms and make the space feel dreamy and complement the garden-themed bedding.

Get Ready in Style

@willow_and_the_crystal_moon / Instagram

Make getting ready for the day feel a bit more fun and glamorous by wrapping a strand of string lights around your vanity mirror, too. Bonus: They'll make those essential OOTD selfies really shine as well.

Add a DIY Brick Feature

This bedroom includes a DIY brick wall that adds texture and complements the black, white, and beige palette. Wood tones and plants add warmth.

Let It Sparkle

@elsahome / Instagram

Disco balls are an affordable way to add a retro touch to a space and always yield compliments. Here, a disco ball tucked away in the corner makes the light dance around the room.

Add Cozy Touches

@fleurrell / Instagram

Soften up your everyday furniture pieces by adding cozy touches to make your room more inviting and laid back.

Place a soft cushion on your desk chair to make working or completing homework a bit more comfortable, layer pillows of all sizes on your bed to make catching ZZZs extra pleasant, and don't forget to set out a knit rug to add color to your space (and keep those feet happy).

Use Warm Lighting

@herzenstimme / Instagram

If disco balls aren't your thing, standard string lights will add a magical touch to any space, too. In this bedroom, they sparkle and shine above the bed and zig-zag behind a sheet hanging from the ceiling like an indoor 'grammable night sky.

Embrace Color

@kspring / Instagram

A collection of small rugs, pops of greene, and a peppy mix of pink and orange textiles makes this a welcoming spot to unwind.

Stay Minimalist

@anysiaalice / Instagram

This bedroom is ultra minimal , with bare walls that showcase the shadows from a nearby window, and an exposed Edison bulb lamp that adds an industrial edge.

Light it Up

@whimsygirldesign / Instagram

This room combines two key aesthetic room components—plants and string lights—to create a stunning display to hang above the bed that invites sweet dreams.

Climb the Walls

@the doormouse / Instagram

Who can resist hanging vines? Many aesthetic rooms incorporate this fun feature behind the bed. Combined with white lights, the faux vines are ultra dreamy.

Accent with Rattan

@the.weavers.residence / Instagram

Rattan accents, faux palm leaves, and muted colors bring the fun in this bedroom. Using a tray table instead of a regular nightstand keeps the space feeling cool and casual.

Layer Garlands Above the Bed

@rachs_home_n_life / Instagram

Why should you have to choose between a moon phase garland and some vines? Hang both if you wish—and add some twinkly lights while you're at it to complete the look.

Headboards can be expensive, so if you're unable to purchase a new one, try these hacks. These are all simple ways to spice up a plain headboard to make it appear more aesthetic.

Keep it Chill

@safranzimtundhonig / Instagram

Aesthetic rooms are meant to be laid back and inviting—so don't fuss about making the bed perfectly or ensuring that things are put away just so. The more carefree, the better, in these types of spaces.

Let Plants Float

@deborah_sweethome / Instagram

Fake hanging vines are great, but real plants will do the job, too! Install a floating shelf above your bed (be sure to place it high up if your plants are already sizable or to allow room for them to grow) and enjoy falling asleep in your own little jungle every evening.

Hang Lots of Lights Behind the Bed

@eddieterrace / Instagram

A thick strand of hanging lights like this one serves many functions. It makes it easy to read or study in bed without turning on an overhead light, it acts as artwork, and it eliminates the need for a pricy headboard! If you wish, you can simply push your bed up against the wall and allow sparkly strands to do the rest.

Keep It Simple Yet Personal

@citychicdecor / Instagram

Aesthetic rooms generally do not feature bulky furniture pieces, so streamline your setup by hanging wall sconces (no need for a large nightstand with a sizable table lamp) and cut the excess clutter.

To ensure that your room style reflects your personality, though, work in some thoughtful accent pieces that speak to you. A statement mirror, neon sign, or curvy chair—or all of the above—will certainly do the trick.

Aesthetic rooms encompass a variety of particular styles and decor elements. But some items that are prominent in many current aesthetic decorating trends include vines, string lights, LED strands, disco balls, rattan, hanging plants in macrame hangers, and photo wall collages.

Aesthetic decor styles are an internet-based category of attractive room styles that incorporate personal touches that are also "on-trend." Some aesthetic room styles include shabby chic, minimalist, bohemian, cottagecore, dark academia , indie, postmodern, boho style, anime, and grunge.

Cottagecore is a social media hashtag and internet-based lifestyle trend inspired by a quaint vision of country life. Think rural living, the English countryside, earth tones, floral wallpaper prints, cozy quilts, lacy doilies, fresh or dried flowers, and vintage farmhouse furniture.

A preppy bedroom has many of the same elements as a preppy wardrobe. Think classic materials, nautical themes, plaid patterns, vintage sports equipment as decor, and colors that range from bold reds and navy blues to pastel mashups like pink and green. 

A Y2K bedroom is named after the Y2K bug of the turn of the century. It is an aesthetic trend that traffics in 1990s/2000s nostalgia, incorporating decor elements such as neon colors, blingy metallics, period wall collages, glittery beaded curtains, and wavy mirrors.
