Simple Bedroom Decorating Ideas
Homemade Bedroom Furniture

Add personality to your bedroom decor by making creative DIY furniture. We saw this suitcase nightstand at 'HGTV', and immediately had to find you a tutorial on how to make it. You can find instructions for an exact dupe of this one at 'The Weathered Door'.
Fast DIY Bedroom Decor – Paint Your Bedroom Walls
The most common way to change your walls of course, is to simply paint them. And it doesn't really matter if you paint them a new color, or simply put a fresh coat on – both will make major differences in how the room feels. Photo by 'BHG'.
If you want to make a fast impression in any bedroom decor, then paint. Did we say that already? ;0 This room was done by 'HGTV' viewer CvilleJanice. This simple bedroom idea is simple and sweet, and it's because of that awesome blue on the walls! Ok, her DIY headboards (she used paint to update those as well!) and pretty quilts are also major players. But can you see how easy it is to makeover a bedroom, just with paint?
Another option is to build this gorgeous board & batten accent wall with this tutorial from 'Simply Beautiful By Angela'. They break this whole bedroom wall idea down into simple steps with lots of how to photos. This accent wall looks like it belongs in a high end custom home, yet it was a DIY!
DIY Ideas for Your Bed
Now that you have the basis for your bedroom decor formed around your furniture, next is one of the most important steps. Update the Bed! Buy a new comforter, duvet, or bedspread. Better yet: Buy an entire new set complete with high thread count sheets and pillow shams. After all, you sleep here! Isn't is worth the investment? If you're not able to buy an entire set, then start with one or two items. And don't forget a soft and fluffy throw and pretty pillows! Oh, and a stunning headboard. Not in the budget? No problem, once again, DIY to the rescue! You can decorate your bedroom on the cheap, without it looking cheap!
Add tons of personality to your bed by making this DIY yarn fringe pillow from 'A Beautiful Mess'. We love how Boho style has blended with todays fresh looks to add color and texture. This is great example of a DIY bedroom idea that will make your space stand out!

Bedroom Wall Decor Ideas
Don't forget to hang wall art in the bedroom. It doesn't have to be expensive, and in fact you may already own photos or prints that just need new frames or mats. And, if you want some out of the box bedroom wall decor ideas, we've got that too!
We are huge fans of inspirational decor, and especially so for the bedroom. You can download the files for this awesome large wall art at 'Etsy' for only $5, then have it printed at Costco or your local printers. Done!
Use your grade school crafting skills (seriously, this is that easy!) and make this DIY yarn wall hanging from 'Sarah Sherman Samuel'. She uses an inexpensive woven rug as a base, and show you how to add interest with yarn and a hook! Easy and fast!

Simple Bedroom Lighting Ideas
The last step to DIY bedroom decor is lighting. Our first tip is not to use overhead lighting in your bedroom. It is harsh, unflattering light that is the farthest thing from relaxing.

Go check out their tutorial and tips!
