Your bedroom is probably the most personal space in your house - and one of the most relaxing. However, it often goes without the same effort as other rooms regarding décor.
If you are looking to start a new project, here are a few great DIY options for your bedroom:
Floral garland backdrop
To create a whimsical or magical atmosphere in your bedroom, consider creating a floral garland backdrop as an accent on one of your bedroom walls. This is a quick and easy DIY project to take on.
All you need to do is purchase silk flower garland from a local craft supply store, and cut it into equal parts. Then, hang the garland vertically along the wall of your choosing. Adding this DIY project to your room will help bring some of the natural elements of the outdoors inside, with minimal effort.
Fairy light headboard
Sometimes one of the best ways to bring a sense of peace and calm into your bedroom is to add alternative lighting to the space. A fairy light headboard can add a playful vibe to your bedroom while simultaneously creating a relaxed atmosphere.
To create this headboard, purchase a sheer fabric, such as tulle. You will also want to have white mini lights available to complete the project. Attach the mini lights to the tulle, and then hang the tulle from your ceiling behind your bed. In a matter of moments, you will have a beautiful yet affordable headboard.
Reclaimed barn wood headboard
Rather than purchasing an expensive furniture set or having a custom piece made for you, you can craft your own headboard. Piece reclaimed barn wood together and create a structured headboard. You can finish the barn wood as-is, using a clear finisher, or you can paint it to your preference for a customized aesthetic.
When you create a relaxing space, you will find you actually rest easier. Your bedroom is the place where you can go to get away from it all, and it should be filled with all the things that are completely you.
About the Author
Kyung Kim
Hi, I'm Kyung Kim. I immigrated from South Korea to the United States in 1968 when I was 7 years old. I have seen my mom struggle with the English language and work hard to raise her four kids by herself. Still to this day, I don't know how she pulled it off, but she bought her first home in 1979 for $70,000 and because of that decision, she was able to live without worrying about her financial future. I want that for everyone, to feel the pride of home ownership and to build their financial wealth using real estate as part of their financial portfolio. I feel so blessed to play a small role in helping others reach this goal.
I live in Beaverton with my husband, Richard. My mom, who lived with us for several years, passed away in our home in February 2022. Her first home purchase in 1979 made it possible for her to live to the very end, without worrying about her finances. As of August 2022 with a little downpayment assistance, our four children own their own homes. Being in real estate, I quickly realized that if they didn't buy now, they may be priced out of the market in the future. Whether that would have been the case, we will never know, but what we do know is that they are all realizing some good, healthy appreciation in their home values.
As passionate as I am about people owning their homes, I'm also passionate about giving back to our community. I support Compassion First, a non-profit organization that provides aftercare for sex trafficked girls in Indonesia. My husband and I also feel called to financially support social injustice organizations.
I'd love to assist you. Whether you're in the research phase at the beginning of your real estate search or you know exactly what you're looking for, you'll benefit from having a real estate professional by your side. I'd be honored to put my real estate experience to work for you.
