hello friends this is Youhjung and today
i'm gonna do a room tour and show you
how I decorated in my room and what I've
included in my room so let's get started.
so when you come into my room you'll
notice that I don't have a mattress bed.
I used to have a futon before but I
switched to a hammock as my bed when I
moved here in Austin Texas and it's
mostly because it's just more minimal
for me. I live in a minimal way and so it
just occupies less space. it's easy when
I move out and it's really great for my
back because I have back pain and I
really like the feeling when I'm
swinging in my hammock. it was pretty
simple to install the hammock and I
really love the fabric that I chose for
the hammock which was organic cotton so
I like to pay attention to the detail of
the things that I have in my room.
it took a little bit of time to get that
perfect adjustment and the curvature of
my hammock but after I think my second
or third try I got the perfect curve and
I really enjoy sleeping in my hammock. so
on the side of my hammock is a little
nightstand which I repurposed from a
paper stool. I have some books and
journals and things I like to have
within my reach during that time. I have
a little oil diffuser on the side
also have my diary and journal and to
the side of this I have my zafu cushion
which I use for my meditation. I like to
wake up and go do meditation right away
and I also have a hanging light behind
my hammock and this I installed myself - I
got the lamp from Michael's (I believe)
and I installed a little bracket and put
it up. and just to the side of the
hammock I have a little nook for my
kitty (Soboru) and at first she didn't
really have much interest in this but
she does go in this cave sometimes.
I don't have a lot on the wall of my room
so it is pretty much bare except for my
clock, some dry flowers, and a macrame
hanging piece on the other side of the
room. I have a little corner where I do
have some little things on the walls -
I have cut out some images from magazine
and put it up. I like these quotes and
also have a little drawing that my
sister made. I enjoy having very natural
colors in my room so I have a lot of tan,
beige, warm colors. I have a sisal rug and
the only real big furniture I have in my
room is this papasan chair and my stool.
and I love this little papasan chair - I
really love the cushiony feeling of it. I
really like spending my time with my cat
here
and above the papasan I have a clock which
is a silent analog clock I got from
Amazon I believe. and to the side of that
I have this macrame piece I got from a
store but I feel like I want to make my
own and probably replace this in the
future. and next to that is my little art
corner which I showed in a previous
video so make sure to watch it - I have it
linked in the description. I don't have a
real desk in my room as a little
bookshelf here serves as my art area.
it's my altar and it's also my desk. I
enjoy sitting on the floor and I'm quite
used to it as I'm Korean and
traditionally Korean people do a lot of
activities on the floor. so next to my
desk I have a little bin where I put a
lot of my go-to digital things - so I have
my headphone, I have my computer charger,
and inside the brown boxes I have some
stationery things that I use quite often
like this mini paper shredder.
this might be my favorite thing in my
art area - the salt lamp I love this.
and I also have a few plants in my room
and this one is the snake plant. I love
it because it's very low maintenance. and
I also do have a cactus in my room which
I put by my window. it has been growing
so fast and I think it's because it
wants a lot more sunlight but it's
trying to grow and grow and grow get
more sunlight. I am a bit sad that it
does have a little chip on the tippy top
and this is another plant that I have
the English Ivy - I believe - which I kind
of neglected with watering so might as
well just water right now. I'm hoping to
kind of rejuvenate this plant and
hopefully it can grow and get bigger. and
this is my closet,
which I kind of showed you in my art
supply store video but if you want to
also see a wardrobe video then let me
know in the comments below. my philosophy
with minimalism is that I want to have
only those things that give me joy so
that's why I have the hammock and I have
a papasan and I have this little art
corner which is multi-purpose. and I feel
very happy about the things that I have
in my room and I don't feel like I need
anymore
and probably will just stick with these
things for a while.
how do you decorate your own room? what
is your philosophy in bringing in items
and objects and furnitures in your room?
let me know in the comments below!
all right so that's it for my room tour
I hope you enjoy watching and if you

watching and I'll see you next time!
