Serena Van Der Woodsen Room: Gossip Girl Decor

Hey Upper East Siders, Gabrielle here. Your one and only source into the glamorous bedrooms of Manhattan's elite.  You didn't think I'd forget the final bedroom in the Gossip Girl series, did you?  ‘It’ girl; Serena Van der Woodsen's posh pad screams glamour, while still managing to remain refreshingly low key. This article will give you some great bedroom inspiration, as well as some tips to achieving the look of her effortlessly chic hideaway!

Cushions are a central feature of Serena's room, helping to tie together the overall colour palette comprised of; cream, gold, silver and ice blue. Glimmering tones scattered throughout the space epitomise the youth and glamour that have come to define Serena, while still remaining effortless and chic. The bed's headboard in gold polka-dots is quite difficult to track down, so I recommend incorporating spots into the cushions or bedding instead. The photograph of the eye (‘Frostbite’ by Marilyn Minter) is a one off. However, you could always purchase a print, or even find another artwork that ties together the room's central colours. At the foot of Serena's bed, a table holds every girl's favourite things; shoes, bags, magazines and make-up!

I also incorporated into the Serena inspired space a butterfly mural, which hangs in her bedroom at the Waldorf residence. I think it adds a unique and personal touch! And while the original butterfly wall was created by Paul Villinski, many DIY replicas exist online, made out of card instead of metal. You can find these for sale on Etsy here.

Rather than tracking down the exact furniture, Serena's chic space can be replicated through sticking to her distinctive colour palette, as well as adding a signature mural above your bed. My personal favourite item however would have to be the bed-side tables, with their elegant hint of gold. I don't know about you, but I am SO ready to move in already.
