SPOTLIGHT: 10 Ideas to Nerd Up Your Home... in a Cool Way!

As nerds or geeks, we tend to keep the creativity on the page rather than in our feng shui and nothing is more embarrassing when we bring a friend, family member or even a girl/guy over and they're less than impressed with our living surroundings.

So, gather your tools and all your posters because here are 10 ideas you can use to make your home really cool!

Living Room






As geeks and nerds we tend to hoard tons of art prints, posters and toys. Let's not even talk about the comic books and graphic novels. One place to display some of our cool stuff is in the living room where most of our visitors will be hanging out. They make great conversation starters and there's a lot to look at when you go to the kitchen to refill a drink or grab some food for them.

The thing with shelves though is that you need a system with your display. Don't grab all your collectibles and put them in one tiny shelf. Don't fill every space with your stuff. There's a fine line between order and hoarder.

Your living room walls can be used to host your art prints and/or canvases as your very own gallery.

No matter how small or big your space is, make sure the area isn't cluttered to the point you can't walk or put anything down.

BONUS:
Here are some items you can buy to complete your vibe! Note that most of these items are expensive because usually only one site offers them (unless you can find it on ebay).


Whether it's just you at the house or you have visitors, the mug and coaster is a nice little touch!

Every couch needs some throw pillows!

Bedroom





The bedroom is the most sacred of all rooms in your manor because it's the place where you do two very important things 1.) Sleep 2.) Create the Beast with Two Backs! You know it to be true! It's important that you keep it clean but it doesn't have to be a cliche. You can still add a bit of your flare to it with your geeky obsessions but like I said in the Living Room, there's a difference between order and hoarder!

Bathroom




The bathroom is the place that you clean yourself, relieve yourself and groom yourself. That doesn't mean it has to be boring. Spice it up with the things you love!

-----------------

There are so many sites that offer geeky/nerdy household items and appliances. Don't be afraid to shop online and if you don't know where to start, start with Google and type in something like, "Star Wars Bathroom" then click the Shopping button on the top.
