3. Boho Chic – Free-Spirited and Earthy
There is no such thing as out of style with Boho; it is literally anything, all things mixed up and sprinkled on top of each other with absolutely no rules. Sound chaotic? It may be but with the right amount of it, it is cool automatically.
FYI: It is ideal when you love crystal aesthetics, coffee-get-togethers, or dreamcatchers- and 75 percent of your musical choices are indie folk. 😌

Yes, it is back. The Y2K style is essentially the Paris Hilton and the Bratz doll with a dash of the MySpace attitude. Pinching and scrimping is not the name of the game; it is all about extra of everything and it all somehow clicks.
FYI: Alternatively, in case Britney, Ashlee and Aqua feature in your repertoire then this theme is all you.
8. Skater/Gamer Vibe – Chill, Edgy, and Unapologetically You

There is no pressure but (Lol.)
Once you are infatuated with the Soft Girl vibes or are willing to enjoy the Y2K momentum, combine and match till you discover the bed winner of a combination. And so it goes, IMO that is what makes it fun. You do not need to limit to one. Go boho E-Girl. Or minimalist, with a hidden affection to Cottagecore flowers. It is up to you to do you.
TL;DR? Your room ought to be a home where you want to hang out, even when you are avoiding homework responsibilities and hibernate in front of a reality show marathon.
