Vlogging can be a really daunting task. Putting yourself out there in front of millions to share your thoughts is not easy. Often we retreat to our most comfortable place to ease our worries and create a calm atmosphere to vlog at our best - usually this is our bedrooms.
Many of us begin our work perched on the edge of our beds, making the most of what little light creeps in from the window. It feels rustic and raw, but there’s no reason that you can’t transform your room into your very own vlogging studio to really add that professional edge to your videos.
Your bedroom is your very own space to really express your personality, much like your vlogging channel! So why not use it wisely to create the perfect backdrop for upcoming videos? Look around your room, could you really invite Zoella over for a collab in its current state?
Step away from the hanging bed sheet, there’s an easier, more stylish way to create stunning background scenes for your videos. I have found these amazing wallpapers by Graham & Brown that are perfect for creating your own in-house studio. Whether you’re working with fleeting natural light or a full soft-box lighting set up, they’ve got it covered!
Imagine filming your latest haul video in front of this stunning Shoes Scarlet motif designed by Barbara Hulanicki. You can really afford to make a statement on all four walls of your bedroom, as it’s your space, no-one else’s! If you’re a fashion blogger, show off your true colours with this deep rouge textured wallpaper.
Fuzzy flock adds a new dimension to any pattern, it has a beautiful decadent feel that brings a room to life.
Subtle and fresh, the Graham & Brown Birds / Cages Amethyst wallpaper is perfect for low-lit rooms.
With a light-reflecting white backdrop and a large-scale pattern that stands out even in shadows, you won’t need a full film crew to ensure your bedroom blogging looks flawless.
You should really be cautious when it comes to intricate small-scale patterns, as they can look distorted from a distance, particularly on lower-quality cameras.
That’s why bold illustrations and bright colours make fantastic backdrops that really enhance the look and feel of your vlogs.
Accessorise your bed and decor with subtle accents of Amethyst to make the wallpaper features stand out.
Working in the same way as the previous pattern, this Flutterby Pearl wallpaper designed, my absolute favourite by Julien MacDonald has a secret weapon up its sleeve. As your lighting captures the wallpaper behind you, embossed glitter gently twinkles in the distance.
A hint of magic that would really set your videos apart, this sparkling finish is a great choice for anyone who loves a sprinkle of glitter.
Northern Rose, is another fantastic choice for chic interior that will serve as a gorgeous backdrop.
If you’re working with natural lighting, the metallic shimmer of each mica element will create a stunning glow in the background of your videos.
Not to mention the vibrant colour that would really make your thumbnails stand out in the sidebar!
Illuminating your whole room, this bright and beautiful motif looks stunning in both natural light or under a full set up.
Paired with scatter cushions that play on the colour accents of your wall, bed throws, fairy lights and maybe even some tasteful wall art?
You can create a room that functions as a studio, with all the comfort of your bedroom.
This space is your own domain to decorate as you wish, so why not make a statement that your viewers will really notice? Oh, and you might want to clear up that floordrobe before you hit record!
Good luck and happy blogging!
