DIY The Room

Recreates the home of Kathleen Kelly (played by Meg Ryan) in the movie, You've Got Mail in #DIYTheRoom with Beth.

I love that Kathleen Kelly’s room has a light, airy, country feel to it. It truly reflects her cute personality!



Recreate the style of Monica's apartment in Friends for #DIYTheRoom with Cassie from Cassiefairy.

Monica’s apartment from the TV show Friends must be one of the most recognisable rooms of the 90s – I feel as if I know it as well as I know my own home! Monica’s style is quite ‘granny chic’, with a few playful colours thrown into the mix. She inherited the apartment from her grandma so some of those traditional pieces of furniture remain in the apartment, but Monica has upcycled the chairs and given the kitchen a lick of paint to put her stamp on the place. As a chef, she needs plenty of kitchenwares (and space to store them), as well as lots of coffee cups for entertaining her friends, of course. I’ve included one of Monica’s favourite tutorials in this list – scented furniture polish – to make her apartment sparkle, and to get rid of the whiff of smelly cat!



Recreate the style of an Icelandic living room in #DIYTheRoom with Justine from The Thrifty Girl's Guide.

I'm now obsessed with Icelandic style after a trip to Reykjavik last month. Minimalism, texture and natural wood were common decor elements everywhere from shops to homes, and this living room also reflects the warm hospitality and friendly nature of the people!



Create a gorgeous recycled home in #DIYTheRoom with Second Hand Susie.

These recycled home accessories could be used in any room, and it just goes to show that redecorating doesn't have to cost you lots of money, and it doesn't have to cost the Earth either! There are plenty of clever ideas here, from a bench made from pallets, to planters from a coffee pot and wall hangings upcycled from table mats. picture frames and old jeans - there's even a cute little cardboard house for your kitty friend! Choosing a grey and blue colour scheme with plenty of houseplants will makes for a cool and chilled eco friendly home.



Create a Mad Hatter inspired tea room in #DIYTheLook with MischievousRaven.

I absolutely love the madhatter in Alice and wonderland, and wish i had my own crazy looking tea room. I know that the madhatters tea party is usually in a garden of sorts but if he had a room, these are some of the things i would love to see in his tea room.



Recreate the look of Selena Kyle's hideout in Gotham for #DIYTheRoom with AlterEgo Designs.

The version of Selena Kyle seen on Gotham is a lot more rough around the edges than the older, more polished Catwoman most people tend to think of. While she's less outwardly feminine, I think she'd still surround herself with pretty, 'ladylike' things (and of course a few cats!) in her own private space. I love that she's as focused on being practical as she is on being glamorous, so furnishings would tend to be things she could pack up and take with her in case she needed to leave in a hurry.



Recreate the Rosehill Cottage living room of Iris Simpkins (played by Kate Winslet) in the movie The Holiday" for #DIYTheRoom with Maya.

I immediately fell in love with the warm and captivating English style that this room breathes with. I can imagine myself in one of the big and cozy armchairs, all snuggled up, with a good book and a cup of tea or hot chocolate, while the wood in the fireplace crackles away long into the night.



Recreate the style of Mrs Potts Parlour from Beauty & The Beast in #DIYTheRoom with Kakeskaty.

I was inspired by a childhood memory. Every Saturday afternoon my sister and I would watch a Disney film. A favourite of ours was Beauty and the Beast. My room is inspired by how I think mrs Potts parlour would look like after she was turned back from being a teapot of course :). I chose vintage and floral with a slight French feel as the film was set in France. I wanted it to be a cosy, warm looking room.



Recreate the bedroom of Kourtney Kardashian in #DIYTheRoom with Judith and Homify.

This room is chic and timeless, without being overly glamourous due to the furniture composition in the interior. And my, I just love that LED decor!
