Make Your Own Bedroom Design







Anytime you want to design or redesign a room in your home, such as your bedroom, you have a couple of different options. You can either begin buying furniture and decor and create your design without a plan, or you can create a plan for your bedroom design before you begin decorating. The best way to make your own bedroom design depends upon your own personal design style, but a few online systems can help you get started.


Instructions








1. Open a website that has a floor plan design tool, such as MyDeco or Smallblueprinter (see Reference section). MyDeco is best if you want to decorate a bedroom with furniture and decor, while Smallblueprinter is ideal for designing the general layout of a room, including doors and windows. If you just want to work with the colors and design of the walls and floor of your bedroom, you can also use the Armstrong website, which has a Design a Room system with an image of an actual bedroom where the walls and floor change styles (see Reference section).


2. Click "Design a 3D Room" and then "Start From Scratch" to begin your bedroom design on the MyDeco site. Click "Blank Plan" on Smallblueprinter to get started with your bedroom layout.


3. Drag and drop any of the room shapes that automatically populate in the right-hand pane on MyDeco to select the shape of the bedroom you want to design. On Smallblueprinter, click the "Wall" tool to add a wall, and drag and drop the wall anywhere on the design. Add additional walls and place them end to end to create a wall in the length you desire. Continue until you have built the entire perimeter of the bedroom.


4. Add room fixtures by clicking the "Door" or "Window" tools in either program and dragging and dropping each door or window into its proper position in the design. Add as many door or windows as you want to the design, but do not overlap doors and windows.


5. Click the image of the sofa in MyDeco to add furniture to the room. Select "Bedroom" from the list of options that appears, and then choose a furniture category, such as beds. Drag and drop any piece of furniture into its position in the room design.


6. Save the design you create on MyDeco by clicking the "File" button at the top of the screen, choosing "Save as." Enter a name for the file and choose the folder on your computer you want to save the design to. You cannot save the bedroom design you create on on Smallblueprinter, but you can print the design by clicking the "Print" button.
