2 DIY Projects To Spruce Up The Bedroom

We each spend approximately one third of our lives sleeping in our beds. This is a pretty
astounding figure if you stop and think about it. Therefore it makes sense, given how much time we spend sleeping, that the bedroom is set up in a way
that’s not only conducive to sleep, but stylish as well. Basically, your bedroom needs to be a space that you want to spend time in.

Given the tough economic times we’re facing these days, keeping costs low is always a plus. Here are 2 DIY tips to help turn your bedroom into a sanctuary.

1. DIY Headboard Project

The problem with platform beds is that many don’t come with headboards. No problem!
Take a weekend and do your own headboard! My favorite bedroom design idea is a paint-it-yourself headboard that you can paint directly onto the wall.
Simply paint a column the same width of your bed on the wall behind. Choose a color that works in your room. Once it’s dry, prop up some big, square
accent pillows against the wall and voila! Instant headboard!

2. A Fresh Coat Of Paint

You might be surprised at how much difference a fresh coat of paint makes in a room. If your walls are white right now, consider a splash of color to
change things up and keep it fresh. According to experts, it’s best to shoot for a neutral “spa-ready” color palette. Cool greens, blues and purples have
the tendency to calm and relax you which is just what you need before bed.

According to paint manufacturers, oranges, reds and yellows are also growing in popularity this year so if you’re looking for a brighter, that might be the
way to go. These brighter colors are also a great way to compensate for a lack of good, quality natural light.

With a couple of simple changes, your bedroom has a completely new and revitalized look just in time for Spring!
