5 DIY Ideas for the Bedroom

November 19, 2017 by adminPO

Designing the room where you spend so much of your time — reading, sleeping, watching television, snuggling your pets and loved ones — can be quite a challenge. Sometimes it’s hard to even know where to start!

Some interior design experiments inevitably yield disastrous and aesthetically unappealing results. You can spend hundreds of dollars on decor, and things still might not look quite right right. But don’t worry, guidance is here! We’ve collected five great “on trend” DIY ideas to spruce up your bedroom. And best of all, these DIY ideas won’t take a huge toll on your wallet.

 

1. Gold is in!

The color gold is making a comeback this year. It is visually appealing and ensures a “wow factor” in any room. But gold is also versatile enough to pair with any background paint color or furniture. The trend nowadays is to incorporate something gold colored in a room, no matter what it is. An example would be a gold vase to light up a dull-looking bedroom. If you do not want some over-the-top gold accessory in the bedroom, make subtle changes, such as replacing door knobs or closet handles with gold.

 

2. Minerals, anyone?

Minerals such as sand, ceramic, stone, marble and other natural elements are frequenting trendy homes today. These minerals are made into serving canisters, vases, bowls and even wall art. They are very unique pieces worth displaying in a room. It’s also quite refreshing to bring nature into the comfort of your own bedroom.

3. Wallpaper is love

Wallpaper used to be limited to beige colors and other plain and drab designs. But now, they seem to be getting better and prettier. Say hello to rich and vibrant-colored ones that are guaranteed to liven up a room in an instant, particularly the bedroom. If you do not want to do the whole room, you can always limit it to one part of the wall and just make it an accent wall instead. There are also wall decals available that are just as lovely, which you can stick up on the walls, if you are not that adventurous.

4. Pretty pastels

Pastels, like muted pinks, greys and blues, are great for bathroom walls. They have a relaxing and calming effect that’s perfect when you’re reading, trying to catch some Z’s or soaking in the master bedroom’s adjacent tub. Refrain from using busy colors in the bedroom, as they can prevent you from relaxing and winding down after a stressful day.

 

5. Mix & match

The mixing of different patterns, textures and styles are great if you want to create a strong impact in a room. As long as you know how to do it right, everything will fall into place. Take small steps like mixing metallics with wood first. Next, you can try playing with fabrics like putting florals and geometric designs together. These would be great for pillows or quilts as it enhances the room by making it more feminine and classy at the same time.


These five easy DIY ideas are just a few of the hundred things you can do to decorate your room. You do not have to be an artist to come up with something creative for the bedroom! There is a limitless supply of great furniture, pretty fabrics, ingenious wall art, paints and other odd knick-knacks to create a spot-on bedroom look. You only need to look and appreciate with your eyes and heart to know what clicks and what doesn’t.

5 Ways to Upcycle Old Pallets | DIY Pallet Projects

November 18, 2017 by adminPO

Are you an up-cycling maven? Prepare to be amazed by these 5 DIY pallet projects.

5 Ways to Upcycle Old Pallets

DIY style is all the rage these days; the perfect way to accomplish true DIY style at home is by adding a little upcycling magic to your furniture. Turning a discarded piece of rubbish into a piece of furniture, accessory for the home or simply art, is a great way to spend the weekend.

Making a blogging site has become as easy as setting up a Facebook account, with services like this offering you the chance to get online for next to nothing. The internet is full of the creative masterpieces made by DIY craft lovers. We love seeing blogs full of DIY designs, and have got some great ideas for up-cycling from our fellow crafty bloggers. It seems even a rubbish dump or building site can be a source of inspiration!

One item that is a fave amongst up-cycling connoisseurs is the pallet. Pallets are often free or cost very little, and with a touch of DIY skill, an old pallet can become a beautiful object. Here are some DIY pallet projects to try at home:

1. Picture Frames

Pallets are amazingly versatile and can be easily taken apart, leaving you with a selection of rustic slats. Once taken apart, cut to size, and varnished you could make a simple but stylish frame, with just a few tools. Top tip: if your pallet wood is dirty make sure you give it a good scrub with water and a stiff brush, and let it dry before doing anything else.

2. Coffee Table

If you would rather keep it simple, turning a pallet into a low coffee table is the easiest and classiest option. All it takes is some sanding and varnishing. You can paint it if you are feeling extra creative, or just leave it natural looking. Adding wheels to the bottom will give it height and prevent the risk of scratching up your floor.

3. Shelves

Gorgeously rustic shelves made from pallets will instantly give character to any room. Left a little chipped and worn, pallets can become shelves with strong character that makes a big statement.

4. Plate Rack

Simply by removing some of the slacks and attaching it to a wall, a pallet can become an efficient, and charming plate rack. Obviously will need some proper sanding first.

5. Daybed

For all you day time nappers out there, turn an old pallet into a cool daybed. After making it with your own two hands you will deserve that afternoon nap!

You can decorate/renovate for your little boy’s bedroom without spending a lot of money. These vivid, bright, and colorful boys bedrom ideas, from decors to furniture, will make your son want to stay in their room all day. Isn’t that what most parents want, anyway? I kid, but since your son can only remain young for so long, it’s best to give them a bedroom worth remembering. By the time they have their own children, they might do the same thing.

9 Most Adorable DIY Boys Bedroom Ideas You Wish Were Yours

Children aren’t particular with how their room looks like, as long as their toys, books, and even clothes are all there. I know of some parents who’re just content with painting their son’s room blue and add in posters of their favorite athletes, but it shouldn’t stop there. These DIY boys bedroom ideas go way beyond having a Michael Jordan poster or having a race-car bed.

1 Branch Swing Shelves

You can easily use extra branches from this year’s spring clean-up, or leftover wood from your woodworking projects. Check out how you can make this DIY branch swing shelf tutorial right here.

3 DIY Soldier Book End

6 Stuffed Pillow Shirts

8 DIY Faux Map Wallpaper

Your son could be a brilliant adventurer one day, so don’t let him stop dreaming about traveling the world. This world map wallpaper is brilliant in more ways than one because it’s not only pleasing to look at, but it’s also very educational. You could also ask your son to place pins on the countries you’ve visited.  More map projects inspirations in store for you here.

9 Framed Chalkboard Wall Art

This corner looks like you can’t put anything in there but with the help of shelves, it turns out to be a storage space that can hold books, vases, and other items you wish to display. Take a look at your corners at home and see if you can apply this trick.

Remember the items you have in your room that shouldn’t really have a permanent space? Books from the library, gifts you have to give, seasonal clothes, and used things you want to donate? Store them like this, with correct labels. It’s very efficient because you can organize them and at the same time, not forget what to do with them. You also know what is inside by writing it on the label area.

5. Organize Your Closet Space

You take a look at your closet space and think it’s full, but really, you just did not maximize the space. Avoid piling up your clothes and other items. Use racks to properly organize your closet, and have wires, hooks, or pins where you can hang your items. Also, place similar items together and put them in one place. Indeed, organizing makes life easier.

6. Hanging Jewelry Organizer

Take good care of your precious jewelry and accessories with this kind of storage. Hang those necklaces to avoid coiling, and for easy access too. Sort rings and other items in boxes. For your dangling earrings, hook them up on the board. This will eliminate the chance of losing a piece or two, or wasting time finding your accessories.

7. DIY Ladder Shoe Shelf

This type of shoe storage is a clever hack for those who want to gain the easiest access to their shoes. I can imagine having one in my room, and being able to plan my outfit already because I can see my shoes! Also, a lot of shoe storage idea often take more space than necessary. This might do the trick for your room.

8. Custom Drawer Organizers

Drawers are organizers in themselves but sometimes, it’s not enough to just put your clothing items in there. When it involves so many pieces that are different from one another, it would be wise to have drawer organizers. This way your socks won’t mix up with your scarves, hankies, or with your shoelaces.

9. Closet Makeover With Dressing Room Space

If a big table or desk can use up a large space in your bedroom, go for a smaller one. Don’t worry about where to put your office supplies and papers. A pegboard can definitely help you with that. Use a pegboard and attach racks, rolls, hooks, and other things to hold your items. It would be a truly organized mini office inside your bedroom.
