2020; the worst year of my life. Maybe that’s just me but I know last year has taken a huge poll on all of our lives and the lockdown stage made us do some things we probably regret now. Some of us dyed/cut our hair while others tried learning how to skate which resulted in a broken arm. I personally had a mental breakdown at 2 in the morning and cut off 8 inches of my hair, but that’s a story for another time. There were a few people that knew how to cope in a healthy way though! Some of them baked, made music or decorated their room. We’re going to take a look at the top 10 room decorations of 2020 because it helped lots of teens express themselves in a productive way during the most boring months of the year.
- Plants
There are so many different types of plants you can put in your room to add a pop of color. They’re perfect to match any neutral color that you may have on your walls or bed and are super pretty. Most people who put plants in their room have an assortment of different types but in order to keep them, you have to be really careful and responsible. They need to be under sunlight and be watered regularly, this decoration piece is definitely not for me considering I can’t even keep my room clean or my bed made.
- Mirrors
I’d say mirrors are pretty casual, I mean who doesn’t have a mirror in their room? But I’m not talking about the normal mirror on top of dressers or the full length mirror in the corner of everyone’s room. There’s lots of different patterns in mirrors that are super cute like in the picture above. This has become popular this year especially since it started trending on tik tok. It’s not something most people have because not everyone likes the aesthetic that it fits, but it’s definitely super popular.
- Posters
Posters have always been good room decorations but lately I feel like everyone’s putting posters of their favorite shows, movies, bands and artists up. You can find posters on almost anything/anyone. Whether you’re a teen girl crushing over Harry Styles or a teen boy obsessed with the Fight Club, there’s a poster for it.
- Fake vines
Sales for fake vines have skyrocketed this year since it’s also blown up on tik tok. They’re easy to match with most neutral colors just like normal plants but they’re a little more popular since they don’t need to be taken care of. They’re also sold with lights that come attached so some people will get those to brighten up their room. They look great in closets, above beds or over desks.
- Tapestry
Tapestries started trending the most at the beginning of this year and they’re still very popular right now. Most girls would get the mandala tapestries because of their pretty designs and they came in hundreds of styles and colors to match the theme of their room. Nowadays, teens are buying tapestries with their favorite artist or characters from shows on them.
- Paintings
Hand drawn paintings have been super popular lately. Since everyone’s bored in quarantine and finds that they don’t have a lot to do, one of the hobbies they’ve picked up is painting. Some teens like to paint things themselves and hang the canvas up in their room and some teens like to buy the paintings online on websites like etsy. The paintings can be of any colors and will most match rooms no matter what so they’re very popular amongst boys and girls.
- Records
Records are such a cool wall decoration and they’re not very popular but this is definitely one of my favorites. Although I don’t have them in my room, I think they’d look super cool for most people. Usually the people who have these in their room are really fascinated with music and have good taste in it too. They’re not hard to find and you can buy packs of these to decorate your room with and are definitely worth it since you can find multiple sizes and different genres.
- Picture Wall
Picture walls are very common but they’re still such a great decoration and let me explain why. Even though everyone has them, they all have their own version of it. Some people like to take pictures off of pinterest or google and some people like to color coordinate where they go. You can put them in different shapes on your wall or you can put them around your mirror. You can print them out in black and white, get them printed at a nearby store or even take the pictures on polaroids. These pictures can be random, they can be your friends or they can be a mix of both. There’s such a large variety of things you can do with photos so it’s very high on my list.
- Projector
Projectors aren’t exactly decorations but I had to include it since it could be used as one. They’re so easy to use, portable so you can always change where to put it and where you want the display and helpful in many different ways. For example, if you don’t have a tv in your room, displaying movies or shows can be helpful to take some stress off your eyes and it can help you have multiple screens if you’re doing schoolwork and feel like you need another monitor/screen.
- Led Lights
At number one we have the famous led lights that have been trending literally everywhere. Even though they’re super popular and not the most unique, they are super cool and everyone loves them. They add a pop of color to your room and are so much fun to have on especially at night because it feels like your whole room is glowing. You can put them under your bed, across your walls or ceilings or really anywhere they’ll stick. They’re the perfect decoration if you’re looking for more in your room but don’t have space on your walls.
