Decorate a Room Like Hermione Granger
Hermione Granger is bright, clever, and loves books. A 'Hermione Granger' room should reflect what Hermione likes and what her habits or hobbies are.
Steps
- Decorate your room with plenty of inspirational photos and pictures, whether framed or on a board. The one thing Hermione values more than reading is friendship and family.
- Keep reminders and notes in your room, which you can put on a bulletin board along with your photos and a couple of stickers. Be careful not to add too many or they will begin to look cluttered.
- Get a trunk or trunk substitute. Not everyone can afford an authentic trunk like the one Hermione Granger has. So a stylish and more affordable way to store your stuff would be a couple of brown leather storage boxes. To give it more of a wizarding effect, you can also add a Gryffindor luggage tag. This is a stylish way to keep organized.
- Get a bookshelf. You can't have a 'Hermione Granger' bedroom without a bookshelf. Have all of your Harry Potter books and some of your other favorites on it. (Red bookshelf only works if you are making your room look like Hermione's hotel room.)
- Acquire a desk. The color doesn't matter (as long as it's not bright pink) but your 'Hermione Granger' room should have a desk. You can put a wand or a quill on it, if you have one, along with a journal. A cute addition would be a small cauldron (easily found at any Halloween site or store) to keep your writing utensils in (A small cauldron on a high table would do, because Hermione doesn't want children touching it). It of course needs a lamp. Leave the rest up to your imagination.
- Keep the color of the wall light. Baby blue or lavender work, if not white.
- Add a poster of your beloved female icon. You can frame it, or not. Another item you may want to add is a banner of her house, Gryffindor, or some other wall decorations.
- For your bedspread or quilt, any color or pattern is fine. (Blue only works if you are going for Apartment Life. No neon colors (or darks) however, add a few cute, patterned decorative pillows. Make sure it goes nicely with your wall color.
- Add nice patterned curtains and a rug. A big comfy chair, with a bit of muggle technology and your room will be looking brilliant! Remember Hermione is very tidy and organized so keep it clean.
Tips
- Don't put up too many posters or décor on walls, or it may begin to look cluttered.
- Remember Hermione is very tidy so keep a clean room!
- If you really want a wizard feel to your room, try to find empty, tinted bottles and label them with names, such as 'frog spawn'.
- Remember to avoid bright, dark and especially neon, colors.
- Don't have furniture that is white.
- Add a small lamp to your desk, but don't get a brightly colored lamp.
