Share share share share!!~
So, let's share some interior decorating tips so we can all have a lovely and comfortable room! I'm just adding some as I recall from browsing + will probably add more.

Maximising space:

Mirrors are an easy go-to to create the illusion of space; as well as boosting natural light
Reduce the size of your bed.. even though we want a big bed, we may not need it. (Sadly, I don't adhere to this. I love sleeping so a spacious bed is a must)
Use multifunctional furniture - an futon that doubles up as storage space
Take advantage of underbed storage.
Use hooks to your advantage. Also, wall shelves are a great option to maximising wall space.

Organisation:

Creating a filing system; either in relation to urgency of matter or category (ie, bills, forms etc)
Store smaller things like crafty basics (buttons, ribbons, pens, etc) in glass jars.
Keep larger items and materials in storage boxes or baskets
Labels! Labels! Labels! & Place similar things together!
Keep a "memory" box, where you place your keepsakes and things that have sentimental value, but are hardly 'used' so it doesn't clutter up with items you regularly use & it is safe.
When sorting out your belongings, place items that you think might come in handy, but you don't know where to place them exactly or when they'd come in handy, in a separate box. Annually (or periodically), sift through the box and see whether you did use it during the period. If not, chuck it out. Otherwise, you're being a hoarder.

Decor:

Colours affect mood. Whites and neutrals project a clean and pure effect. Yellows energise. Green promotes growth. Blue calms.
When decorating your bedroom, divide the colors in the space into components to balance the colors and give it a shot of interest as well - 60 percent of a dominant color, 30 percent of a secondary color and 10 percent of an accent color.
Rearrange your furniture. You’d be surprised how much of a boost you can give your décor by just moving a few pieces around.
Nothing beats piles of soft white towels for their luxurious look, especially when you have open shelving in a bathroom. Candles, a blue vase and green- and cream-colour flowers add dashes of pretty to an all-white backdrop.
Avoid the cluttered, chaotic look of jam-packed shelves by grouping books and accessories of similar size and shape in mini vignettes.
A throw brings softness to a masculine leather club chair and lends a light, inviting touch to any reading corner.
A windowed nook is perfect for a built-in daybed (with storage underneath). Try cosying things up with a demi-lune table and a mirror that bounces even more light into the room.

Bed:

Experiment with textures when sticking to a white bedroom sheet/quilt set, such as a velvet cushions, cashmere throws etc.
For an immediate "luxury" or "glam" boost, add curtains and pillows; emulating hotel room extravagance

I'm also contemplating whether to buy wall decals or not. While my walls are all white and plain (making me wanna just decorate them with cute stickers) there isn't that much wall space because I have a sliding door, another door and a big window ... so I don't know if I stick wall decals, whether it'll be too cluttered-looking.

Also, thought these are some pretty swell ideas (credit- martha stewart) :
