I move into my first apartment in less than 2 weeks and I could not be more excited! Today I want to share what I have in mind for my color scheme and my room’s overall “theme”. I have all of the basic pieces for my room, all I have to do now is get everything organized and ready to move in!
I have decided that the name for my theme is “Antique Chic,” and should not be confused with “Shabby Chic,” which is more rustic than what I want. To me, “Antique Chic” will encompass the preppy style, with antique and modern décor influences.
My color scheme is various shades of navy, light blue, and pink. I wanted my colors to be girly, but also mature, if that makes any sense. I will also be mixing these colors with gold and white accents throughout my room.
The inspiration for my color scheme came from all the “preppy” dorm rooms I saw on Pinterest, since a lot of girls also really love the combination of navy and pink for their rooms. Below, I have some pictures as ideas that I wanted to imitate within my room. Basically, they all have white bedding, bright accent pillows, and a clean, minimalistic look. I also love how white bedding can make any room look brighter, but also cozy.
For décor, I want to keep everything looking minimalistic so my small room won’t look so cluttered. I want to have my décor as a mix of modern and antique. Some of my antique furniture is a dark wood and other newer pieces are bright white. With these furniture pieces, I have some of the popular blue and white Chinese style vases (Some people call them Ginger Jars, Chinioserie pottery, or Blue Willow vases). I have seen several bloggers use these style of vases and plates as décor in their homes and I thought it was a really cute idea.

I’m very excited to start decorating my room once I move in. I’ll be sure to update y’all on what it looks like once it’s all done and I might do a sneak peek, so stay tuned! (;
Thanks for reading!
