“Go clean your room,” is a typical phrase frequently used by your parents to ruin your Friday night! Don’t look at it that way; instead, you can interpret this phrase as,”go decorate your room!” Decorating your bedroom can be a fun way of expressing yourself, your own personal style, and keeping yourself organized. Your bedroom is a private place where you get to relax, feel comfortable, and at the end of the day take a nice long nap, so why not make it your own private getaway?
Decorating your bedroom from places like Pier 1 Imports, Macy’s and even Target can be a little pricey. Fortunately, what they sell in the stores is something everyone can assemble! Instead, of buying the decorations you can make them yourself, without having to pay so much! All you really need are your hands and creativity (try to think outside the box). Listed below are some ideas to help decorate your bedroom!
Pillows are great accessories to style up the bedroom because they come in different colors, shapes, and sizes. You can find a variation of pillows at Target or TJMaxx. However, if you have trouble finding a style you can always make your own. All you need is fabric (of your choice), stuffing, and a sewing machine! Be creative, remember it’s your room, have fun with it!
Another decoration idea, are chair covers. Chair covers are always great because they are quick & easy to make! For this, you’ll need fabric (your choice), scissors, and a hot glue gun. You’re simply cutting the fabric and gluing it together until the chair cover is formed (DO NOT HOT GLUE THE FABRIC ONTO THE CHAIR). Try to match the fabric (chair cover) with the similar colors you are using so that the theme of your bedroom stays the same.
Artwork can be expensive, whether you’re looking for a canvas with the big city buildings or a simple photograph of nature. Check out the artwork at stores like Wal-Mart or Big Lots they have great deals! On the other hand, if you like to paint or draw I encourage you to make your own masterpiece! Don’t be afraid of the blank white canvas, think outside the box and have fun with it!
Making a collage is the easiest way to decorate. Post a bunch of pictures of your favorite movies, bands, fashion, nature and even the people who inspire you on poster and hang it up on your wall. It looks great, and the best part is that you can always add on to it! A collage is a form of expressing your style and perspective on things; it’s like the phrase we hear all the time—a picture is worth a thousand words. Decorate your room, be creative and have fun; after all it’s your room!
