54 Inspiring Modern Bedroom Ideas
1
Mirrored Walls (Not Ceilings)
Stephen Kent Johnson
The bedroom of Apparatus’s Gabriel Hendifar New York City apartment is an object lesson in how a mirrored wall—long considered a relic of a bygone era—can be just what a modern bedroom needs. The custom brass bed is topped with a bedcover and bolster in Zak+Fox fabrics. The pendant and nightstand are by Apparatus.
2
Sinuous Accent Chaise
Ty Cole Studio
As much as you may want your bedroom to be a quiet sanctuary, the presence of a dramatic piece of furniture, like this sinuous rocking chaise by Igor Rodrigues in a 2Michaels townhouse project on the Upper West Side, won’t keep you up past bedtime.
3
All Out Aubergine
David Land
There is no more sophisticated shade of purple than eggplant, as evidenced in this Brooklyn family residence designed by Danielle Fennoy of Revamp. The bedroom walls are covered in Farrow & Ball’s Brinjal paint. The custom bed’s headboard, beneath an artwork by Stan Brodsky, is upholstered in a Romo print, and the throw pillow is in a Dedar fabric.
4
Haute Tension
Stephan Julliard
If your interior aesthetic swings contemporary but the architecture is antique, it’s always advisable to preserve some original elements to then mix with modern furniture pieces. In the Paris apartment of Hugo Toro, the stained-glass window in the bedroom is original to the apartment. The chair is by Timothée Musset, and the curtains are from Silva Paris. The carpet and the leather bed frame are custom.
5
Repurposed-Door Headboard
Frank Frances Studio
A headboard doesn’t need to be upholstered, tufted— or a headboard at all, for that matter.
In a Brooklyn brownstone designed by Ishka Designs, carved wooden doors from Morocco make a perfect decorative headboard. The pouf is from CB2, the pendant light by Workstead. The carpet is from Nourison, and the curtains are from the Shade Store.
6
Better Together
Peter Murdock
Where is it written that two beds need two discrete headboards? Answer: nowhere worth mentioning. After seeing this custom bed arrangement in a Long Island house by Joe Nahem, consider the argument Q.E.D. The table is by ModShop, and the lamp is from Allied Maker. The artwork is by Jessi Reaves.
7
Hitting the Tube Lights
Read Mckendree, from Workshop/APD Homes: Architecture, Interiors, and the Spaces Between, Rizzoli New York, 2022.
Bedside lamps can be nice, but they take up room on the nightstand.
In a Workshop/APD project in Manhattan, these Orion tube lights by Lee Broom from the Future Perfect provide an exceedingly chic solution. The headboard was upholstered in a Pierre Frey fabric, and the curtains are by Cowtan & Tout. Underfoot is a custom Medina rug by Eskayel.
8
Lower the Pendant
Francesco Dolfo
In Milan, anything goes. Case in point: Designer Paolo Castellarin installed a Flos pendant to hover next to the pillows. Some might have an issue with this, but stylishly irreverent is something we should all aspire to be. The Vico Magistretti bed from Flou is topped with Loro Piana throws and Fornasetti pillows. The wall paint is RAL Pale Brown, and the window paint is RAL Green Beige.
9
Maximum Botanicals
Shade Degges
There’s botanical wallpaper, and then there’s botanical wallpaper.
This example from Lizzo in a Malibu home designed by Martha Mulholland is an impressionistic visual feast that will keep you close to nature, even if the view from your bedroom window is of a brick wall. The vintage pendants by Bruno Chiarini for Stilnovo hang down on either side.
10
Mixed, Not Matched
Marni Epstein-Mervis
The throw has nothing to do with throw pillows, which have nothing to do with the headboard. And yet, everything fits together perfectly. It’s sprezzatura for the bedroom in an Oakland, California, house by Duett Interiors, and it’s oh-so-appealing.
11
Timber Trifecta
Stephan Julliard
Rattan and pine and mahogany! Oh my! Who says brown is dead? Jacques Grange proves that tired conceit wrong with this calmly sophisticated bedroom in a Comporta, Portugal, house.
A pendant from Loja de Cá hangs from a soaring pine ceiling. The rattan screen and floor lamp are both from Paris flea markets; the vintage Mozambique mahogany cabinet is from Santa Maria Velharias. The artwork is by Ophélie Asch.
12
Blue Is the Warmest Color
Isabel Parra
Very few colors can bring both a feeling of joy and moodiness to a bedroom like this shade of blue from Farrow & Ball used by Perifio in a house in Hudson Valley. The throw on the Lulu and Georgia bed is from Missoni Home, the Verner Panton chair is vintage, the side tables are from &Tradition, and the sconces are from Lighting NYC. The walls are in Inchyra Blue from Farrow & Ball.
13
Infinite Headboard
Stephen Kent Johnson
Where does a headboard stop and a room begin? That’s not easy to answer.
Ashe Leandro provides a new twist in an Upper East Side apartment with one that wraps around the periphery of the room. The custom nightstand is by Rob Pluhowski, the sconce is from Lites on West, the bed linens are by Matteo, and the throw is from Area Home.
14
A Hint of Yellow
silvia foz
What’s that peering through from behind the creamy bedding? It’s all our eyes can see. Is it...? Why, yes. That’s a dollop of mustard in a New York City bedroom by Carly Cushnie, as strong in appearance as Colman’s is to taste. A collage of vintage saris adds another splash of yellow above the bed.
15
One Big Dark Room
Nick Glimenakis
Don’t underestimate the calming qualities of an all-black room. Delia Kenza went for it here in the main bedroom of a Brooklyn townhouse. Verdict? Worth the risk!
16
Frey All Day
Joanna Maclennan
Every house should include some Pierre Frey fabrics.
They’re chic, they’re classic, and they’re extremely well made. Patrick Frey, of Pierre Frey, just went all out in his use of the family product in his house in the south of France. The bedcover, canopy, and pillows are all in Pierre Frey fabrics. The rattan trunk is vintage, and the rug is by—you guessed it—Pierre Frey.
17
Statement Bed
Douglas Friedman
A stunning lacquer-and–silver leaf four-poster bed makes a statement in this Palm Beach house. An Art Deco floor lamp is paired with a tufted window seat. The art is by David Hockney.
18
Bright Blue Accents
William Waldron
Two iridescent glass pendants flank a blue artwork by Caroline Sardi. The Nicole Fuller Collection side table sits next to a low-profile platform bed by Poliform. Rich velvet curtains match the cobalt hue in the rug from the Rug Company in this townhouse in New York City’s Greenwich Village.
19
Wood-Beam Bedroom
James Merrell
An iron four-poster bed sits on top of an antique parquet floor in this Jacques Grange–designed apartment. The wood-beam ceiling is an original and striking detail. Custom bronze mirrors face the bed, and a 1950s floor lamps adds a pop of color.
20
Modernist Details
Roger Casas
Concrete walls are softened with flowing blue window treatments in this Marina Del Rey, California, house. Wood furniture adds warmth, and the tufts of the bedspread align with the tie holes in the concrete wall behind the bed.
21
Rich, Colorful Accessories
Trevor Tondro Photography
This Montecito, California, bedroom by Kim Alexandriuk is gorgeously filled with gray textiles and accessorized with pops of rich color.
Blue table lamps by Ryan Mennealy flank a bed covered in a George Spencer Designs velvet. A midcentury aluminum bench covered in a green jacquard by Lauren Hwang is placed at the foot of the bed, and the subtle and glamorous rug is by Jorge Pardo for Christopher Farr. A pendant by Philippe Anthonioz makes a statement in the center of the room.
22
Modern Glamour
Gianni Franchellucci
Shades of gray create a chic palette in this London apartment. A custom lamp with a charcoal shade by Liz Marsh Designs sits on top of a nightstand by Oliver Bonas. A large black-and-white photograph hangs above the cream-upholstered bed.
23
Minimalist Decor
Erik Undéhn
Stark white walls are a crisp canvas for furniture and accessories in this modernist bedroom. A black Volante occasional table by Pierre Guariche is paired with a Pivotant wall light by Charlotte Perriand.
A painting by Hans Hedenström hangs above a low wood headboard.
24
Warm Tones
Brittany Ambridge
A blue-and-orange color scheme adds richness to this New York City bedroom by designer Danielle Colding. An upholstered bed is topped with blue velvet throw pillows, and a pendant hanging above a cobalt side table makes for an unexpected bedside lamp.
25
Oxblood Accents
Eric Piasecki
Walls covered in a Holland & Sherry fabric create a creamy canvas in this New York City bedroom. An oxblood wallcovering from Castel is a dramatic break in the wall. The custom bed by interior designer Gideon Mendelson is flanked by two open-shelf nightstands.
26
Hamptons Living
David Benjamin Sherry
An East Hampton bedroom relies on a sleek white backdrop punctuated by a colorful Dhoku rug, artwork by Richard Aldrich, and vintage sconces by Gino Sarfatti.
The bed features Frette linens.
27
Beach Escape
Douglas Friedman
For this Miami Beach getaway, designer Lee F. Mindel fused modern and Pop Art sensibilities. The headboard, in a Chapas Textiles fabric, and bench are custom, the nightstands are by Atelier Prelati, and the vintage Max Ingrand pendant is by FontanaArte.
28
Modernist Accents
Thomas Loof
When it came to an apartment in a TriBeCa skyscraper, designer Richard Mishaan aimed for a sense of adventure. From stimulating hues to rich textures, there's no shortage of visual interest throughout the space, especially in the main bedroom. The design scheme features a custom bed and sofa, both in a Maharam mohair, from Mishaan’s line for Theodore Alexander. The bed linens are by Matouk, the armchairs are by Holly Hunt, and the Plexiglas cocktail table is by Charly Bounan.
The brass pendants are by Roll & Hill, and the Willy Rizzo floor lamp is from Flair Home Collection.
29
Pops of Color
Douglas Friedman
Designer Lee F. Mindel isn’t afraid of color, and this modern Miami Beach getaway is proof. In the guest bedroom, which Mindel brought to life with panels in Benjamin Moore’s Cool Aqua, the headboard, in a Link Textiles fabric, matches the wall panels. The bed is dressed in custom linens by E. Braun & Co., the Oluce lamps are from MSK Illuminations, and the nightstands are from Design Within Reach.
30
Monochromatic Look
Tim Waltman

31
Minimalist Dream

32
Warm and Cool

33
Industrial Cool
Dylan Lim Suarez
In the Brooklyn apartment of blogger Natalie Lim Suarez, custom sliding-glass doors lead into the bedroom, which maintains a pared-down appeal with minimal furniture and a monochromatic palette.
34
Monochromatic Oasis
Richard Powers
Sex and the City creator Darren Star’s New York City bedroom is a lesson in the peacefulness of monochrome and features a headboard in a Cowtan & Tout fabric, sconces by Gubi, and nightstands by Room & Board.
35
Beachside Modernity
Douglas Friedman
In a striking retreat in Miami’s Surf Club designed by Delphine Krakoff, the guest bedroom maintains modern beach vibes with a sculptural side table, rounded headboard, and statement artwork.
36
Modernized Antiques
Stephen Kent Johnson
With accents like a 1960s wall sculpture and antique French tole clocks, this bedroom manages to exude modern elegance. Thanks to a palette of rich grays, a layering of textures, and clean-lined silhouettes, the space has an overarching sense of modernity.
37
Pale Hues
Emily Andrews Photography
A Chelsea home’s main bedroom relies on just a few statement pieces to reflect a serene and modern aesthetic. The custom walnut bed, matching dresser and side table, and coordinating artwork give the minimalist space a modern feel.
38

50 original dorm room decor ideas
Visitors to the Dorm Room Interiors site are offered some DIY designs to consider.
Dormitory rooms are small in nature. The limited space makes it almost impossible to bring big ideas to life, so use small designer touches that will add personality to your home. Below we will present some of them.
Decorating with pictures and photographs
How unusual is it to decorate walls with photographs? Take, for example, a lace used in jewelry and make a geometrically irregular holder. Use paper clips to hang photos.
If you're looking to create something a little different, try immersive picture frames. Usually make several of these pictures. Peel off the top half with painter's tape, and dip the bottom half in paint of the desired color. nine0003
Or you can use twine, clothesline, yarn to hang your favorite photos over the table.
For fastening, use clothespins.
Instagram display. Make a grid with sticky tape and attach photos. To do this, use double-sided tape or strips of masking tape. Glue them to the corners of each photo so they stick tightly to the wall.
Other wall decorations
Instead of pictures or photographs, use a herbarium or plant drawing. Make a frame for them and hang them on the wall. Take this idea as inspiration, if you want to completely change the theme. nine0003
Another simple idea is to use clipboards. This is a neat trick that comes in handy for attaching calendars, schedules, and other things, including as a display for photos and pictures.
Make a typographic wall. You will need a cloth, cornstarch, water, masking tape and brushes. Choose the font you like, smooth out the fabric, cut out the letters.
Use masking tape to create a straight line on the wall. Apply cornstarch to the back of the first letter. Position the letter on the wall and press firmly.
Repeat these steps for the rest of the letters. nine0003
Hang the rug on the wall. It can look really good above the bed, going behind an unsightly headboard. Carpet will also give the room a cozy and comfortable feel. This is a good way to add texture to the decor and give the bedroom a unique look.
Use colored paper, felt or cardboard to make giant confetti, colorful polka dots. Use them to decorate one of the walls in your dorm room.
Don't be afraid to mix materials and colors, pair them however you want, they look chic and cute. Look at weebirdy for use cases. nine0003
Room decor with flowers and plants
Take a lot of cardboard cones. Make holes each on the left and right sides, thread a rubber band through them, and hang the cone on the wall anywhere you like. It will make a great place for small flowers.
Make a beautiful outdoor terrarium with plants. You will need a container, which should be in the form of a glass ball, moss, gravel, pebbles and plants.
Decorate flower pots, make them more attractive. For decor, take a ribbon and acrylic paint. Choose bright and bold colors to make the containers stand out in the overall design. nine0003
Flower vases. For them, glass beer bottles or any cans that are suitable in shape and color are suitable. When making, use a glass knife to make a clean cut, sand the edges with sandpaper so as not to cut yourself.
Create a memo board
A memo board can be useful in a dorm room if you put the exam schedule, tasks to be completed, etc. on it.
This is actually a type of geometric art that includes memo boards. You will need Velcro for mini fasteners, bright tape, small gold nails and a hammer. nine0003
Or set up a whiteboard for notes. You will need polystyrene foam, fabric ribbons, regular and double-sided tape, Velcro dots on the back.
Cut the board to size and decide how you want the tapes to be positioned. Wrap the ends around the back of the board and secure with tape.
Add Velcro dots to the corners and hang the memo board.
Light up
Create a USB-powered lamp with a glass, metal or even 3D printed bottle. nine0003
Decorate it a bit with art tape or acrylic paint. And, of course, you need a USB LED cable for touch lamps. Decorate the bottle, keep it as a base, and then add a lampshade.
Add elastic band lights to your interior. They are perfect not only for Christmas and New Year.
Use string lights to create a really beautiful view on the wall behind the bed. They also serve as nightlights. You don't have to worry about a table lamp. nine0003
Make a small table lamp using a miniature camera tripod, a USB computer light, a USB extension cable and a mesh pencil holder.
You'll get a beautiful lamp with an industrial look and feel.
Design table accessories
Personalize your table in the room. You can draw some accessories yourself using containers of various sizes. You will need paint to change their appearance, thread for decoration, trimmings of fabric, leather, twine and other things.
nine0003
Decorate the walls and floor with colorful tape
Chances are you won't be allowed to repaint the walls in your room. But that doesn't mean you can't change the look of your walls or floor.
Use colorful tape to make temporary wallpaper. Create a variety of geometric patterns using bold colors.
Knit your own pom-pom rug
A pom-pom rug will add some color, texture and wit to your room. It is relatively easy to build. You will need a lot of colorful yarn and patience. nine0003
Tie the pom poms one by one, leaving a long thread on each to join them together to create an unusual rug.
Design a jewelry holder
Use an old grater to store your jewelry. It's designed for grinding, but will hold a bracelet or two. If you decorate it, then it will take on a vintage or just a more interesting look.
Or build a jewelry stand out of wood and decorative paper or a gift bag. Small boxes on a large wooden frame will look good.
nine0003
Old sewing spools and door handles can be used as hangers for beads and bracelets.
Bush jewelery stand. The whole project is extremely simple. Find a branch you like, clean it up, and paint it to make it colorful. Then attach the branch to the wall with a screw.
Comfortable chairs for you and your guests
Not enough chairs in a narrow dorm room? Don't worry, make good stools using drawers, fabric and a pillow top mattress. nine0003
You will also need some plywood. Take a glue gun to attach the fabric to the plywood - the chair cushion is ready! It remains only to place it on the top of the box.
Wouldn't a hammock chair look great in your room? Cozy and comfortable and you will never want to sit in any other chair again. Make your own hammock chair using oak dowels, woven polypropylene, canvas, and stiff elastic.
Decorate the door
The dorm room door is inconspicuous, but you can change it with colored tape. You can use the tape to give the drawing a geometrically correct shape, draw an inscription.
nine0003
Put together a bedside table
Attach wheels to the bedside table so that you can easily move it around the room. Cute and practical trolleys are sold at IKEA.
They are usually used in the kitchen, but will be useful here too, as now you will have a three-level shelf for storage.
Would you like to build your own nightstand? Foam concrete blocks will come to the rescue. It will be like playing with building blocks.
Concrete products will give you more storage space for a variety of things - a small plant, books, a glass of water, a phone, etc. nine0003
Tie or decorate the curtains yourself
If you want to create a place for a relaxing holiday, weave a curtain. In the macrame technique, they usually take a rope and a wooden crossbar. This is a simple project, you just need to understand how to place the curtain, what type of knot to take and choose a weaving pattern.
If something goes wrong, buy a ready-made curtain and decorate it.
You will need fabric, glue, tape and scissors. Attach a thin tape, stick a wide one, so continue until you achieve the desired image. nine0003
Decorate your mirror frame
If you have a mirror, we'll show you how to make it glamorous. Take a simple design consisting of two
colored geometric patterns. Stick the tape around the areas, then paint the desired areas with gold.
Decorate your pillows
Do you take good care of your pillows? Do they look like they need a makeover urgently? If yes, then try to implement this idea.
Wash, dry and iron the pillows. Take some gold paint, a champagne cork and paint polka dots on the pillowcase. Leave to dry. nine0003
Add a shoe rack
Space is always a problem in a tiny dorm room. The door will be a great option for storing shoes, just hang an organizer on it.
Another interesting solution for keeping shoes in order is simply to hang the moldings on the wall or in a closet. You can create a simple display that shows all of your shoes.
Canopy over the bed
Of course, four-poster beds really look great, but what if there is no room to move around the bed? You already have the item below to create a canopy over a bed. nine0003
Sew a hanging basket
Don't throw dirty things in an ugly trash bag, but sew a chic hanging basket. Take an embroidery hoop, fabric, twine or ribbon. The type of fabric you choose should reflect the style of the room.
Make a Charging Base
The base needs a wooden box, a piece of chipboard, a knife, paints and wood glue. Leave a ledge for the possibility of placing a chipboard sheet.
Then drill a hole in the back of the box, make holes for the cable, then paint the box the color you want. nine0003
Increase storage space in your first aid kit
Everyone has the ability to create extra space. Add a hanging shelf on the inside of the medical cabinet door and you have room to store your toothbrush, nail polish, etc.
Decorate open shelves
Use colored tape to finish the edges of open shelves.
They will look much prettier, and besides, this is an inexpensive project. In addition, the repair will be reduced to a simple replacement of ribbons. nine0003
Make hanging shelves
Add something different to your interior. For example, make hanging shelves using thick rope, clips, paint, and two rectangular pieces of plywood.
Take a piece of wood, clamp it with two sheets of plywood. Drill in four places at equal distances. Cut the ropes of the required size, fasten the shelves, hang them from the ceiling.
Create interesting book holders
They can hold at least a few books from the collection. To make the books stand straight, you need to make limiters. You will need half a log, a brush, multi-colored paints, a sanding block, a saw and some varnish. nine0003
Choose multifunctional furniture
It is important to have such furniture in order to combine many functions in a limited space. For example, this cabinet can be used as a bookcase or for storing gadgets, also as a bench.
The one in the photo has wheels, so it will be easy to move around the room.
DIY headboard
For this, you will need old wooden pallets. Turn them over and nail them to the bed. If you want to keep the worn look, just leave it as is, if the headboard doesn't seem to fit in with the design, use paint. nine0003
Plate Coasters
To make these cute little coasters, you will need the following materials: clay plates, colorful paints, a blank board.
First, the darkest color is applied to one of the plates. Then white paint is gradually added so that in the end all shades of the same color are obtained. Apply two layers of a special coating to the center of each saucer and you can write and draw on them.
Homemade mug
A beautiful mug is made from a glass with a lid and a straw. All you need is a wide-mouth jar with a tight-fitting lid. Drill a hole in the center for the straw. And everything is ready. nine0003
Label your cables
This is a great idea for keeping your room clean and tidy without cords or cables.
A simple idea is to use a toilet paper roll to twist the wires and put them in a drawer. This keeps them from getting tangled and makes it easier for you to find the right wire.
Or label the resulting spools. You will immediately see which one can be disabled, which one can not. Write the letters with a black marker, it does not fade for a long time.
Designer thread
Colored thread designs are quite popular these days. The whole idea is to create any drawing you want. Nails are driven into a board or wall. Then everything is wrapped with colored thread to give the desired look.
Key holder
How long does it take you to find the keys? To speed up the process, make a key holder from an old photo frame by painting it and stuffing small hooks. Install on the wall next to the door.
Change the look of folding chairs
Folding chairs should always be available in the hostel and in small spaces. But they are not very attractive.
Give them new life.
Paint the fabric and base of the chair with a gun. Attach the changed material to the chair with staples. Assemble the chair and you're done!
DIY room decor - 12 best ideas, beautiful decor
1. Bottle garden or florarium
Potted flowers look very cute, but to bring a unique touch to the interior of the room, we suggest going a little further and putting a garden in a bottle. This is an amazing solution that allows you to grow whimsical plants that will not survive in normal conditions.
nine0003
A sealed container with a minimum amount of air creates a humid atmosphere, ideal for certain types of flora. These include: calamus, royal begonia, bromeliad cryptanthus, pellionia, common ivy and others. When choosing plants, be guided not only by their external properties, but also by height - it is necessary that it matches the size of the container.
Any glass container with a neck that closes easily and is convenient for "planting" plants can become a "home" for the garden. nine0003
So, first you need to fill the bottle with material for drainage and earth. Think over the composition, then dig holes with a spoon with an elongated handle. Next, using two sticks, place the sprouts in them, and after tamping the ground, spray them. Florarium is ready!
2. Geometric shelves
Sometimes it is better to forego massive bookcases and use simple compositions of geometric shapes in the interior instead. Due to the conciseness, such shelves will perfectly fit into any design without causing difficulties during creation.
nine0003
They are made like ordinary shelves - from flat boards of fiberboard or wood, and due to their unusual shape they do not require additional decorations to attract attention. Also, to diversify the design, you can, for example, hang the design on a hook. Just do not put easily breakable objects there.
3. Decorate the wall with nails and thread
No matter how strange this phrase may sound, but the decor of nails and threads is a real-life direction, which is called stringart. This solution is suitable for decorating walls, furniture, boards. At the same time, creative people have a place to turn around - you can not only come up with any composition, but also randomly wind a strand, creating a unique work. nine0003
You will need thread, nails, and a base to drive them into. But before starting work, you need to come up with a sketch of the composition, clearly highlighting the main lines. Following them, metal hooks are installed, between which a strand passes.
There are many variants of drawings: words, silhouettes, signs, abstractions and even detailed paintings with a variety of colors. The main thing is that you will not find the same decor anywhere else.
4. Cutlery coat hooks
Why not give old spoons and forks that are not suitable for direct use a second chance by turning them into a practical decorative element? With the help of simple manipulations, cutlery will become unusual coat hooks in the hallway, attracting the attention of guests.
It is possible to give a curved shape to a metal object with a hammer or vice, and to mount it on the base, it is enough to nail the part with an ordinary nail.
Forks look interesting, the teeth of which are directed in different directions. With a certain skill and the availability of the necessary equipment, names or simple patterns can be engraved on hooks. nine0003
5. Ottomans from old magazines
And although today the main sources of information are the Internet and television, quite recently people learned about the areas of interest in life from magazines, of which more than a dozen have accumulated in many homes since then.
Instead of throwing away waste paper, we suggest making a comfortable ottoman out of it.
Such a piece of furniture, in addition to magazines about gardening or construction, consists of a wooden base (which you can make yourself from a blockboard), a cushion and two old straps that tighten the whole structure. nine0003
It is recommended to select publications of the same format, but even different ones will look very original. At the same time, depending on the appearance of the elements and the theme of the magazines, the ottoman will fit into a modern or more vintage interior.
6. Thread lampshade
It happens that you go to a store for a chandelier: there are many options, but the prices bite, and the presented models do not fit into the interior. If you want to decorate your home with something unusual, you can make a lampshade with your own hands, using only yarn, glue, plastic wrap and a balloon. nine0003
The balloon must be inflated, wrapped with polyethylene film, and on top of it with threads, leaving a small hole.
Next, glue is applied to the workpiece, after which the base must be removed after drying. The final stage is the electrical connection to the lampshade.
This shade can be used for both chandeliers and lamps. Try not to overdo it with threads - the design must be strong, while leaving gaps. White yarn is suitable for a modern interior, and multi-colored yarn will create bright accents. nine0003
7. Curtains for doorways
In rooms where it was decided to abandon doors to save space, small curtains or curtains can be used as a light partition. Moreover, there are many design options, so it will not be difficult to enter such an element into the interior design.
Instead of a solid, albeit transparent fabric, it is better to opt for curtains made of ribbons, felt beads (for a cozy atmosphere) or glossy details collected in a chain (this will add a little gloss). nine0003
Creating such a product is not difficult, the main thing is to decide on the material and color scheme.
The partition is usually mounted on a mounted crossbar, which ensures easy movement if necessary.
8. Possibilities of decorative tape
Adhesive tape can not only glue paper, but also create aesthetic geometric compositions in the interior. It is much more convenient to use, and the variability of colors and patterns only expands the decor possibilities. nine0003
Paper tape is more suitable for modern design, where such unusual solutions look most organic. Using adhesive tape, you can, for example, circle pieces of furniture, diversify plain surfaces, “write” words or phrases, and even zoning.
It will be possible to decorate even smaller details, such as vases or photo frames, since products of different sizes are presented on the modern market. It all depends on the imagination, as well as the possibilities of the room. nine0003
9. Decoupage in the interior
Probably, many have heard about this simple, aesthetic version of the decor, only in the context of small crafts.
But with the help of napkins and glue, you can easily decorate larger items, creating a unique atmosphere in the interior.
Decoupage is used to decorate even surfaces of furniture, tiles, glass. The drawing depends on the style of the room: for example, floral patterns are suitable for classics and Provence, newspaper clippings can be used for a loft, and bright combinations of various pictures for pop art. nine0003
You will need: an image on thin paper, PVA glue, a degreaser and acrylic varnish to securely fix the decor on the object. It is better to practice beforehand, as with inaccurate application, bubbles or other traces may remain.
10. Garlands for every day
p>Glowing lights - not only a New Year's attribute. They can also be used for everyday decor, creating real magic in the room.
Garlands turn into a kind of night light when placed in a glass container, like a jar or vase. You can also hang them on the back of the bed, but the lights on the canopies look even more spectacular.
Just remember to be safe and check that the adjacent material does not heat up. nine0003
Wall-mounted garlands look great with Polaroid photos, lighting them up beautifully. When inscribing such lighting into the interior of a room, it is important to keep the line between festive and everyday design.
11. Illuminated mirror frame
This type of mirror is called a dressing room, as it illuminates the stars as much as possible during the application of makeup and is often used in the corresponding rooms. But even in the living room, the illuminated frame has found its place, becoming a popular design solution. nine0003
It can fit into the bedroom, but it looks best in a modern bathroom. To make a product, you will need a wooden frame, lamps, wires, as well as the ability of an electrician.
Please note that during installation it is necessary to use fluorescent lamps, as conventional ones create a lot of heat.
12. Candles in the interior
Of course, electric lighting is much more practical, but candles are unlikely to ever lose their mystical charm, continuing to act as an independent decor element.
