I was budgeting earlier, and realised that my dreams of a Louis XVI bedroom would have to come crashing down. So I made a list of possible creative features to include in a bedroom:
- Painting the ceiling sky blue with white fluffy clouds. And if you're more of a night person, painting it dark blue with specks of silver stars and a moon.
- Sticking a letter box, a house number and a knocker on your bedroom door.
- Painting a window on a random wall, showing a field of sheep/dandelions/whatever tickles your fancy.
- Buying white, opaque fairylights, and stringing them around your room.
- Have your favourite artworks canvas printed, and hanging them up on a single wall.
- Buying a jumping castle, and using it as your permanent bed (this is going to be slightly harder to achieve
)
- Panel a wall completely with mirrors = instant expansion of your bedroom. It'll make it look twice the size.
- Painting a wall with black paint, and using it as a chalk board to draw whatever you please.
- Placing a disco ball in the middle of your room, and leave it on constantly.
- Painting fake furniture on your walls, e.g. bookshelves, chandeliers, lounge chairs, etc
- Forget traditional lighting, have your room lit completely by wall scones.
- Buy a bunk bed, use the top bunk as a bed, and store your junk on the bottom bunk.
- Use the shiny sides of CDs to cast rainbows all around your room. Place them strategically on your walls, so that at a certain time of the day, the sunlight will hit the CD (this one works, I actually did this when I was in 12)
- Place a running fountain in your room somewhere.
- Don't use normal flooring like linoleum or wooden panels. Instead, use exterior flooring, like pebbles and make mosaic pathways in your room, or use stepping stones.
