Bedroom Redecorating: 6 Easy Tips To Revive a Tired Room

Bedroom Redecorating: 6 Easy Tips to Revive a Tired Room.

Quick, inexpensive, easy ways to breathe new life into your old bedroom.

1 Start by editing out what you can.

The more stuff you have in a room, the more cluttered an tired it will appear.

Consider giving that extra chair or dresser a new home.

Then you'll have space to rearrange the furnishings that you keep.

2 Change the color of the bed linens and add a couple of brightly colored pillows.

This easy, inexpensive fix can revive both boring beds and chairs. For romantic appeal, consider draping swags or other fabric over curtain rods, furniture, or the headboard.

3 If you have a four-poster bed, try creating a canopy by hanging inexpensive mosquito netting from the ceiling.

Look for an unusual pair of lamps the next time you're browsing in an antique store or flea market - changing the bedside lamps is an easy fix that will quickly alter the feel of a room.

4 Add whimsy to childrens' rooms with a bit of fabric, a can of fabric paint and wall paint.

Personalize the bed ruffle or the curtains by stenciling them with flowers, princesses, trucks, cars, or bears.

5 Paint kids' bookshelves in your child's favorite color.

Put baskets painted in a contrasting shade on the shelves for extra storage to add a final designer touch.

6 To dress up the windows, add a ready-made lace or eyelet panel above the blinds, then tie it to one side.

Or, use two plain panels in a bold color that hang from a rod so kids can pull them aside easily.
