- Use a search engine to look for images of bedrooms online. You'll find various styles, colors and layouts that might work for yours. You may get over a million results in your search. If you want to narrow your image search, you might add adjectives to the search, such as color, style or bed size.
- Page through home designer magazines such as Home and Design, House Beautiful, Good Housekeeping or My Home, My Style. These magazines have pictures of actual bedroom designs, as well as some setups for display only. Whether the design is used or not, it may give an idea you would like to have in your bedroom.
- Visit your friends and relatives at their home. Tell them you are trying to get ideas for redecorating your bedroom and ask to see theirs. When you see it, ask questions, make comments and imagine the design in your bedroom. You may learn about some great ideas, or you may find ideas that are better avoided.
- Watch television shows on HGTV or DIY Network. Shows which may provide you with decorating ideas for your bedroom include: "Design on a Dime", "24 Hour Design", "Design Star" and "Designer’s Challenge".
- Browse the website of your favorite home interior designer, home improvement brand or home decorating store. Most of these websites will offer a variety of examples highlighting particular colors, a mattress, curtains, etc.
