Next in our
DIY series, let’s take a good look at the Bedroom. Sometimes we feel that the
room is so messy and cluttered, we might want to keep the door closed and keep
it a completely private space, but for the wrong reasons. It is possible though
with some simple ideas to convert it into a masterpiece, so that we are proud
to show it off when showing guests around the house.
Turn a wall into art: Pick one of the walls, ideally the
one that is visible as you enter the room and turn it into an eye-catching
piece of art. Paint the base in a neutral shade and then plan what you want to
create on it. If you have creative tendencies, you can draw and paint it
yourself at leisure, or you can enlist the help of a friend who does. Keep in
mind the colour scheme of the room and furniture before deciding the palette of
the wall.

Blinds and curtains: Even if you feel hesitant to start on
that wall immediately, one great way to add a splash of colour is to use the
blinds and curtains. You have a lovely choice of fabrics, and with just some
basic stitching skills, you can brighten up the room.
Create a side or corner shelf: Pick a basic design and build a side
shelf or cabinet for yourself, to put away knick-knacks as well as store books
for your reading in bed. This does not need too much work, and the simple
pieces really look elegant. The biggest advantage is that you don’t have to
depend on store designs and can create exactly what you need.
Storing earrings and jewelry and other
items: These can be
one of the biggest sources of mess in the bedroom, as it is tough to find a
storage space for them that organizes them neatly as well as is easy to access.
There are some great DIY ideas out there, that you can use just old items like
a grater or an old stole or dupatta, and make a lovely arrangement for them. You
will find some lovely ideas on this on this page.
We hope you
find these ideas approachable as well as fun, and are planning to try something
out soon. Don’t forget to check out our great tools that can help you out with
