Diy Decorating Ideas For Bedrooms

It's no secret that people tend to put bedroom decorating on a back burner. It seems like the first area of your home you decorate is always the most public. I think we should all remember that home decorating is about creating a home for you and the ones you love, and making a wonderful refuge with DIY bedroom decor ideas is a must! You can decorate (even on a budget) with a little creativity and elbow grease. Here are The Budget Decorator's top tips for bedroom ideas on any budget!

Bedroom Ideas

First Things First

• Get rid of all clutter! The bedroom is supposed to be a restful place, and how can any of us rest with a weeks worth of laundry piled on the dresser, or all those things you dump in the bedroom because you need to speed clean, and you know you can close the bedroom door? Spend one afternoon and dive in, or split it up into several afternoons and do one area at a time. Find a place for everything, and put everything in it's place!

• Good storage for the bedroom doesn't have to be expensive. If you have good bed frames, under bed storage can include inexpensive plastic tubs, or you can even cut sturdy cardboard boxes down to the proper height so they can slide easily under the bed. Store off-season clothes, craft supplies, even extra linens under the bed. Check out our post on DIY Under Bed Storage you can make!

• Create a theme and color scheme for your bedroom, and let it reflect who you are. You will save a lot of money with your bedroom ideas by having a plan to keep you on track. Name your theme, even if it's something simple like, "Cool refreshing minimal". Now whenever you make a purchase or a decision for your bedroom, all you have to do is ask yourself this question…does it fit with my theme? If the answer isn't clear, don't' waste your money!
