Adding a New Feel to an Old Bedroom

Spring is here and I am thoroughly enjoying having the windows open and fresh air.  Seems like the perfect time to change the feel of the bedroom.



Adding a New Feel to an Old Bedroom


There are some really basic things that everyone should take the time to do within their bedroom before they get started redecorating. The first thing you'll want to do, is give your room a good vacuuming- get into each nook and cranny, open some windows, and get the air flowing.



Once your bedroom is free from dirt and dust, you'll then want to take the time to organize your belongings. Most people are shocked at how different their rooms look like after completing these two tasks, as they make such a dramatic difference without you even realizing.


One of the best things about your bedroom, is the fact that it's..yours! For this reason, you'll want to take some time to figure out how you want your room to reflect you. If you have specific interests, this is a great time to come up with creative ways to incorporate those interests into the overall decor of your room. For example, if you're a scuba diving enthusiast, you might want to strategically place pieces of coral throughout your room; reflections like this are simple to come up with and do a good job of making your space feel welcoming.

If you have a cluttered bedroom, this would be a good time to go through your belongings and figure out what is worth keeping, and what should be sold. With the money you make from items you sell, you can treat yourself to a small shopping trip where you can find new accessories for your room. Bed material, wall hangings, drapes, etc., are all inexpensive items that you can replace once in a while to give your room an updated feeling.

If you're someone who tends to have trouble getting to sleep at night, or you don't feel any different in your bedroom, than you do in your office, then a simple change like softly colored, blue and white bedding could make all the difference in the world, and help you relax much more.

Blue and white bedding is a really simple, and affordable way to add style to your bedroom while increasing the overall sleeping atmosphere. These types of simple additions such as a yellow shower curtain can make a huge difference even though they may seem insignificant. Instead of going out and wasting a bunch of money on an expensive renovation, you should consider something less expensive and more simple.
