If you have a boring bedroom and are looking for relationship advice, you’re reading the wrong article….
Bedrooms tend to be the last room in a home that gets decorated. People are always more concerned about making sure the rooms visitors see are in order, so sometimes it can be a very long time before the bedrooms are touched. We are guilty of this! Then if there are children theirs are the next in line (yup) and by the time you get to your own bedroom, it can be outdated and boring. Your bedroom should be your sanctuary though, and there are some simple things you can do to make it a pleasant place to be.
Lighting
Swap your boring ceiling fixture for something bold and exciting, and then if you get to do nothing else for a while, this will still make your room more interesting. You could even buy matching lamps for the modern bedside tables you have and then you have the choice of a low light or a brighter one. Just make sure that you choose lamps that complement the rest of the room.
Hang Some Art
If you have empty while walls stretching around your room, hang some art to add colour and fill that empty space. Most people seem to think that works of art are for the living room, but you can hang them anywhere in your home. You could buy some quite cheaply from a local market or gallery, or you could hang family photos instead.
Making a gallery wall is a good idea and one that will put many smiles on your face. Combining multiple pieces will produce immediate interest into your bedroom.
Update Your Boring Bedroom Bedding
If your bedding is as old as everything else in the room, it is time to update it. Your bed is the focal point of your bedroom, and having good bed linen can make a huge difference. Of course, this is always a matter of personal choice, but you are bound to find something you like if you browse around a few stores. Just pick whatever style and colour you want, and then the rest of the room can be decorated around this.
Have The Right Flooring
When any room is being decorated, the flooring is often an afterthought that is forgotten until the very end. If you have plain wooden floors you need to add some vibrancy with rugs that will feel good to your feet as well as looking great. A strongly patterned or coloured rug makes a statement and says, “this bedroom is not boring anymore”.
Even if your floor is carpeted, there is no reason you cannot add a rug or two. Just steer clear of putting patterns on top of patterns, and at least one of them should be plain.
A Lick Of Paint
All this not-so boring bedroom needs now is a lick of paint, but perhaps you should do that first of all? It is just easier to bring everything together first and then you can decide what colour you want on the walls. When it is finished you could put some final touches such as some cushions on the bed, but it will not need much more to bring your boring bedroom to life.
