Homemade Bedroom Decorating Ideas

Bedrooms are often the last rooms that people decorate, instead opting to spend the money decking out the main living areas.  If styling your other rooms has left you without money to spruce up your bedroom, there are ways to give your room a facelift without breaking the bank.

Paint

Painting is one of the best ways to give rooms a new look.  You could paint all the walls a new color or choose one as an accent wall.  In addition to painting the walls, furniture will have new life when painted with bright colors or modern tones.

Make your own curtains

Incorporate a favorite design or color and get it just right by making your own curtains. Pick a fabric and have it cut to one foot longer than your window.  When sewing it, bend the top around to form a loop for the curtain rod to go through.

Redecorate old picture frames

Search secondhand shops for old and interesting picture frames, and paint them a different color; add stickers or other embellishments for a fun look.  Use the picture frames to hang pictures of family vacations or frame a nice fabric that you like.

Stencils

Purchase inexpensive stencils and paint from hobby shops, and use them to stencil custom designs directly onto your walls.  This allows for creativity and customization, and you will be proud of your decorating skills when finished.  If you are a renter, make sure you have
permission from your landlord before doing this.

Recycle old CDs and records

You can find records and CDs at thrift stores for very little money. Punch a hole in the bottom and tops of them and string them together for a unique look.  You can glue on things such as flowers, fabrics or anything else that you can find at hobby stores.  Use fabric paint to draw or write on them.
