Need a new look in your bedroom but don't have a lot of time or money? Here are some bedroom decorating ideas that you can do on your own, with very little money and without having to spend six months in renovations.
1. Pillows. Having some designer pillows at the head of your bed can give your bedroom a professional look and make your bed look inviting and comfortable. Set them on their sides against the headboard and rows for that puffed up look.
2. Flowers. Fresh flowers can help improve your mood as well as enhance the way your room smells. Try putting a couple of bouquets around the room in decorative vases. To make a big impact, try using bouquets of different types of flowers all in the same color range to match the colors of your decor.
3. Area Rugs. Even if you have wall-to-wall carpet, you can put down area rugs to change the look of your floor. Many times you're stuck with the color of your carpeting even if the color of your bedding and other things in your room don't match. Don't be afraid to put area rugs down on top of wall-to-wall, but if you do, you need to make sure that you set them down properly and then if you will be putting furniture on them, the furniture must have all legs on the rug or none at all. 4. Bedding. One bedroom decorating idea that can make a big impact is to change out the bedding. You can buy expensive bedding sets, or even put them together on your own but you can also buy ones that are inexpensive and might even include curtains. This is a great idea particularly for a teen's bedroom where you are trying to transition from a child's look to the mature look that a teen wants.
5. Furniture. Furniture can be expensive, but if you shop in the right places you can drastically cut your costs and the furniture can make a big impact on the look of your bedroom. Antique furniture can give your bedroom a rich look and you can get some older beds such as brass beds or cottage pine beds fairly inexpensively at antique shops. Try attending out any local auctions to see if they sell general household goods. You can find great deals on furniture at these because it simply depends on who happens to be there to bid up the price on you. You may have to go to a few options to get what you really want and be prepared to haul it away that night.
6. Accessories. Your bedroom will look bare without accessories and if you don't already have some you should go out and get! If you already do, think about changing them out you can give your bedroom whole new look simply by changing the look and feel of the accessories.
Try one or more of these six bedroom decorating ideas and you see how easy it is to get a new look in your bedroom. In fact, you could try one of these ideas every weekend for the next six weeks and get a totally new look in your bedroom in less than 2 months!
