DIY projects for the bedroom include painting the walls and adding artwork.
Do-it-yourself (DIY) home projects are an effective and often affordable way to express your personal decorative style. Whether you're adorning your child's bedroom or want to add some flair to your bedroom, original artwork, color choices and furniture selections will make the space completely customized without your having to spend a fortune. A trip to the local thrift store or discount department store will help you find the tools you need to complete your DIY project.
Instructions
1. Paint the bedroom in colors that suit your style. For instance, shades of red will make the room appear more lively, while shades of blue add a calm sense of tranquility to the room. Use a muted or more subdued shade if you're painting the entire room one color.
2. Use sponges to adorn the accent wall with paint in a complementary color. If you've chosen orange and blue (complementary warm and cool colors) for the bedroom, dip a large sponge in blue paint and dab it along the bright orange accent wall to add texture to the room. The blue shade will also complement the additional furniture pieces you bring into the room.
3. Select furniture pieces for your bedroom o which you can add your own attractive finishing touches. For example, choose a small chest of drawers for your baby's nursery, and paint it a shade of lavender or pistachio green to match the rest of the room's decor. You can also replace the drawer knobs with handles that are shaped like flowers or baby animals such as lambs or chicks to make the nursery's theme.
4. Add shelves to the room for additional storage, and to display visually appealing items that have sentimental value. Paint or spray paint the wooden or metal shelves in hues that match the room's decor before attaching them to the wall, for example, silver or platinum-colored shelves to accent a black and white room. You can use the shelves to store books from your favorite author, or to display candid photos of your friends and family that you've enlarged and given a sepia finish for an antique feel.
5. Complete your DIY bedroom decor by framing clothing or accessory items that remind you of special times in your life. For instance, purchase a black, white, or fluorescent-color frame large enough to house the jean jacket you wore in the 80s. Splash the jacket with neon paint, and fit it in the frame to display on the side wall of the room. Or, frame your little one's first onesie or baby booties in a gold or bronze frame to give this personalized decor item an air of sophistication.
