Fast DIY Bedroom Decor – Paint Your Bedroom Walls
The most common way to change your walls of course, is to simply paint them. And it doesn't really matter if you paint them a new color, or simply put a fresh coat on – both will make major differences in how the room feels. Photo by 'BHG'.
If you want to make a fast impression in any bedroom decor, then paint. Did we say that already? ;0 This room was done by 'HGTV' viewer CvilleJanice. This simple bedroom idea is simple and sweet, and it's because of that awesome blue on the walls! Ok, her DIY headboards (she used paint to update those as well!) and pretty quilts are also major players. But can you see how easy it is to makeover a bedroom, just with paint?

DIY Ideas for Your Bed
Now that you have the basis for your bedroom decor formed around your furniture, next is one of the most important steps. Update the Bed! Buy a new comforter, duvet, or bedspread. Better yet: Buy an entire new set complete with high thread count sheets and pillow shams. After all, you sleep here! Isn't is worth the investment? If you're not able to buy an entire set, then start with one or two items. And don't forget a soft and fluffy throw and pretty pillows! Oh, and a stunning headboard. Not in the budget? No problem, once again, DIY to the rescue! You can decorate your bedroom on the cheap, without it looking cheap!

Don't forget to hang wall art in the bedroom. It doesn't have to be expensive, and in fact you may already own photos or prints that just need new frames or mats. And, if you want some out of the box bedroom wall decor ideas, we've got that too!
We are huge fans of inspirational decor, and especially so for the bedroom. You can download the files for this awesome large wall art at 'Etsy' for only $5, then have it printed at Costco or your local printers. Done!
