Gigi Hadid Inspired Room

In three words, California born-and-raised Gigi Hadid is cool, calm and collected. Despite her supermodel status, enviable beach waves and closet brimming with designer clothing, Gigi’s sense of décor is refreshingly low key. White walls make her room feel open, bright and fresh. Flowing aqua curtains give the space a beachy vibe with a youthful kick. While an upholstered headboard and matching sofa bring an air of sophistication. It's no wonder that I couldn't resist examining her stylish ocean hideaway!

Gigi’s room has a colour palette comprised of white, aqua and beige/gold. All three colours come together in an intricate painting above her bed. On the other hand, this black and white portrait ties in with the bedroom's central beach theme, and avoids adding any more unnecessary colour.

Take notice of the texture used in Gigi’s lamp. Rather than experimenting with colour, she sticks with neutral tones and plays around instead with varying textures. More importantly, she has managed to keep her space looking neutral, while avoiding the stark and boring territory. All thanks to these different textures!

This sleek white shelving unit is versatile enough to suit any bedroom. This has been used to display photographs in mismatched white frames, keeping things clean and simple. Here we also see a bunch of awards and ribbons. One thing is for certain, Gigi likes to keep two things within her sight: her accomplishments and her inspirations. Luckily she avoids verging into ‘Toddler’s and Tiaras’ territory, (where contestants have their rooms filled with sashes and crowns), by dispersing her awards in amongst photos.

Just by arranging standard landscape 6x4” prints into three columns, Gigi has created a super simple and totally gorgeous photo collage! Notice how each photo contains splashes of aqua, or is taken at the beach. She has really stuck with this theme throughout her entire space. 

A white framed corkboard showcases more awards and little knick knacks. The painted white edges also help keep it looking fresh.

While it totally sucks that Gigi's room doesn't include her hot BF Zayn Malik, the bestpart about her posh pad is that it can be achieved on any budget! With white walls, billowing aqua curtains, soft neutral bedding and an array of photographs, you can easily inject the same carefree California beach vibe into your own space!

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.

Spotted: Lonely Boy and S having a heart-to-heart. Back off Dan, this room is mine!

You know you love me,
