Paintings and photographs
This is probably the first thing that comes to mind: to hang an interesting painting on the wall or to create an ensemble of several images that harmonize with each other.
Any place will do, but paintings and photographs look especially good at the head of the bed, the size of which they can repeat, or opposite, where they will delight the eye in the evenings and lift the mood at dawn. You can put a large painting or several canvases on the floor near the wall.
For a modern bedroom, choose abstract themes that repeat the accent colors of the interior. Romantic rooms in the Provence, Rococo or Shabby Chic style can be decorated with a floral still life or a pastoral landscape.
A beautiful painting in a high-quality frame is expensive, so with a modest budget, it makes sense to decorate the bedroom with family photographs – color or black and white. This will not only save money, but also add sentimentality to the interior.
Installations and panels
An inexpensive and original alternative to paintings is wall panels or installations. Their character should correspond to the overall design concept. These can be tapestries, African masks, wicker baskets, compositions of dried plants, pebbles, shells, old records and anything else.
With the help of an art installation you have created yourself, you can make your bedroom unique, show your individuality and bring your bold creative fantasies to life, and then enjoy the result every day.
Bedspreads and pillows
If finances allow, you can order a well-thought-out set of bedspreads and decorative pillows for the bed from a studio. It is difficult to name a style that such a solution would not fit into. Silk or velvet textile accessories in pastel colors will look great in a classic bedroom, and, for example, bright multi-colored cotton or linen ones will look great in a Scandinavian bedroom.
Those who are limited in expenses, but are full of inspiration and are friends with handicrafts, should make an effort and decorate the bedroom with home-made decor. Sew a patchwork blanket, knit openwork covers for chairs or pillows, and the room will be filled with warmth and coziness.
Lamps and lampshades
The finishing touch or connecting link of the bedroom interior can be lighting fixtures from one collection: a chandelier, sconce, floor lamp. In ultra-modern rooms, LED spotlights mounted in the ceiling above the bed look great. With their help, you can smoothly adjust the lighting, change its color, and along with it, your mood.
A budget creative solution is to replace the lampshades on the lamps or make original covers for the legs. Such decorations can be sewn from a suitable material, crocheted or knitted, and then treated with a heat-protective compound.
Curtains and rugs
Curtains, floor and wall rugs are large decorative elements that can take the lead in the bedroom interior and tie all its parts together. Let the curtains and rug repeat the colors, textures or motifs used in the bedspreads, covers and lampshades.
It is not necessary to lay one large rug on the floor and lay it flat. Create a bold composition of several rugs of different shapes, scattered near the bed, under the chairs or sofa, opposite the chest of drawers.
Vases and figurines
Any bedroom, whether in a luxurious Renaissance or a minimalist Japanese style, can be decorated with vases or figurines that match the spirit. They can stand on the floor, flaunt on shelves or bedside tables.
General rule: there should be only one large floor vase or statue and it will be appropriate only in a fairly spacious bedroom. For small rooms, it is better to choose a set of several compact accessories.
Plants and flowers
Greenery not only decorates the bedroom, but also fills it with fresh air, thereby promoting sound sleep and quality rest. You can place vases, pots, boxes or flowerpots anywhere, from windows to the headboard. But consider the impact of different plants on human health and the energy background in the room.
Taking care of a home greenhouse is not an easy task. If you want to see beautiful flowers in the bedroom, but are not ready to spend time and effort on them, buy artificial plants, which are now almost indistinguishable from real ones.
Wall painting
Creative types will love the idea of decorating the bedroom with a stenciled design or a hand-painted picture directly on the wall. All you need to do is choose a place, cover it with plain wallpaper or paint it, and decide on a theme.
Floral motifs, silhouettes of people, images of cute animals or birds flying away look especially good in classic bedrooms, while a modern interior can be decorated with a view of a night city, geometric shapes, chaotic color spots or paint splashes.
Stereoscopic wallpaper
This is the most suitable idea for owners of small apartments. At the same time, 3D wallpaper at the head of the bed, on the opposite or side wall will help to decorate the bedroom and make it more spacious. They can cover it completely or act as a portal to another, beautiful and alluring world.
Photo wallpapers with huge flowers, forest alleys stretching into the distance, flowing streams and cascading waterfalls, ocean shores and romantic city streets look stunning in bedrooms.
Mirror
Decorating the bedroom with a mirror is a practical solution. This item is simply necessary when there is no separate dressing room in the apartment or house, and you have to dress and primp yourself in the same place where you sleep. The mirror can be a floor mirror, and some will be attracted by the idea of making a mirror ceiling above the bed.
With the help of a large wall mirror or a mirrored built-in wardrobe, you can visually expand a cramped bedroom, and an installation of several small mirrors of an original shape will become the leading accent of the interior.
Canopy
A thin translucent fabric framing the bed along the perimeter is not only a decoration for the bedroom, but also a functional item. With the help of a canopy, you can shade the sleeping area during the day, create a peaceful and secluded atmosphere inside it, and at the same time protect yourself from the encroachments of insects.
Clock
After waking up in the morning, many people first look at the clock, with disobedient hands groping for it on the bedside table. To avoid having to look for anything, hang a stylish clock of impressive size opposite the bed, next to it or at the head of the bed.
A floor clock with a pendulum or a wall clock with a cuckoo will look great in a bedroom with an antique interior. You can find a vintage item at a flea market or in an antique shop.
Bookshelf
Many people like to read before going to bed, so decorating the bedroom with an original bookshelf or rack is a logical solution. A wall-sized shelf with colour-matched books in rich bindings will look harmonious in a classic or antique interior. Complex compositions of several shelves located at different angles fit well into any modern design trends.
To make it convenient to use books for their intended purpose, it is better to place them at the head of the bed or next to the bedside table – just reach out and you can enjoy reading.
Aquarium
Admiring bright exotic fish calms, relaxes and sets you up for a peaceful sleep, so why not decorate your bedroom with an aquarium? This idea has only one obvious drawback – it will require significant investment, especially if you want a tank in which a real home sea will spread out.
Even a small aquarium with one curious fish or several friendly individuals will decorate and enliven the room, so if you are not knowledgeable in this topic and do not have extra funds, start small.
Fireplace
Building a real fireplace in the bedroom is a labor-intensive and expensive task, but it more than justifies the costs. On a chilly winter evening, wrapped in a woolen blanket and curled up in front of the dancing tongues of flame, you will say “thank you” to yourself a thousand times for this decision.
It is much easier and cheaper to install an electric fireplace – there are compact, beautiful models that imitate real fire and fill the room with life-giving warmth.
Let these ideas find a response in your heart and help you decorate your bedroom in an original way!
