My room was going to be painted but it's not going to be anymore because money's tight. What are some ways I can spice up my room inexpensively? Thanks! Smile




Hey girl,

Take my advice in the comment down there with a lil creative twist to save cash! Sewing your own new bedspread by buying thread and fabric at the store is much cheaper than buying a new one at the department store. Make photos (usually prints are about 25 cents a piece) of you and your friends to put on your walls. Have friends make collages or watercolors for you, then post them up on the walls. Rearrange the furniture to refresh your old routine. Shop yard sales or antique stores for inexpensive lamp shades, mirrors, vases, or other accent pieces. Little things like this will really help!

I live in an apartment and we cant paint the walls plus i share with my 18yr old sister. What can i do to make the room fill more comfortable and me?




Hey girl,

I live in an apartment too, and trust me...you don't need paint to put your stamp on the room! Rejuvenate your room in different ways - sew a new bedspread with fabrics you love at the craft store, tape photos of you/your friends, pictures from magazines, and paintings on your walls, rearrange the furniture on your side of the room, or invest in a cute little lamp, mirror, or vase to spice up your space. Even these little adjustments will make you feel more at home!

MOD MOD MOD i want to make my queen size bed look like a day bed is that possible? And can i put it infront of a window? thanks

 

 

Hey babe. It is possible to make any bed look like a day bed with the right bed frame. Also try lining pillows up against the wall for the same affect. I think you should ask your rents about putting the bed under the window.

MOD!
Ok so I REALLY wanna change my room and make it more ME! But I share a room with my lil sister. My room is yellow with different butterflies and bugs painted on them. I like my wall but its too... Kiddish... I have 20 bucks to spend and I cant move anything of hers. Also I used to have a big mirror connected to my dresser but my mom moved it to my sis's. So everytime I need to use the mirror (for makeup and hair stuff) my things get throw on the ground or my dresser. Any suggestions??? Thanks!




Hey babe! The best way to spice up your room is to paint it. If you're sharing with your lil' sis then paint your side, you can make it an accent wall or something. That will cost about $10 for a gallon of paint. Then you can get your own mirror with the leftover money. There are cute, inexpensive mirrors at Target and stores like that. Get a full length one, you can do your makeup in it and check your outfit in it. Make your dresser into a vanity so that you can keep your makeup and hair things organized. Good luck! xoxo

i really want to paint my room a pastel blue to go with my brown carpet, get a beanbag chair or something like that and some cool lamps or a chandelier.

i would want to paint most of my furniture lime green, get one of those bed holder things with storage in it,
and i kind of want to mosaic my lamp shades so when i turn them on the light would be the color of the tiles on them!
oh! and some cool metalic wallpaper! ;)

Oh, if I could style my bedroom however, I would get the wall removed and replaced with floor-to-ceiling windows so I can have a full view of nature (with curtains). I would have a loft bed with a desk underneath. It would be ocean themed.

I would LOVE having one wall purple, one bright orange, one bright green, and one blue, and have polka dots of the other colors on each wall, have a stereo system and strobe lights.. just a party-tastic colorful bedroom i guess (:
