Geek My Room

I'd like to share a video I came across on Felicia Day's Geek & Sundry YouTube channel:



What a fun project! Your home is your castle; it should reflect the things you love. This video gives some great tips for geeking-out your room on a budget. To recap:
  • Frame your posters
  • Find a theme & use its color scheme (60% primary color; 30% secondary color; 10% accent color)
  • Use old toys as decorations
  • DIY is fun and inexpensive
  • Avoid clutter!!!
If I might add a few ideas:
  • Look into different decor styles (traditional, contemporary, eclectic, etc.) and try to build a geek-infused design from there
  • Your room doesn't have to represent every TV show, movie, video game, and comic you love. Narrow your focus.
  • Keep the layout simple enough to change things over time.
  • Have a fellow fan help you, if you can. An extra set of eyes can't hurt.
  • Remember you have to LIVE in what you come up with.

I hope this has given you a few a ideas and some motivation to update the look of your favorite room with a little more of the things you love. There's no better way to introduce someone into your life than bringing them home to see how much you love Doctor Who.

Check out this eclectic zombie apocalypse living room I designed on Polyvore!
