What are creative ways to decorate your room?



If you like the stars on your walls, why not try a night and day theme?  Your room will look different at night than it does in the day.

Black and white is a great for bedding, but add a touch of color with a bold red throw pillow and cuddly napping blanket. Use glow in the dark wall stickers that peel off and on your walls easily, and add enough of them to form a pattern. The pattern will only show up at night, so it adds an extra element when its dark.  Candle wall sconces are great to use when it's night as well.

Instead of wall art, why not do something different like a port hole? Use a round photo frame, preferably black, and back the port hole with thick, black construction paper. Poke holes in the paper to form a pattern. Maybe you form a star scene like the big dipper or just have random dots throughout. Put sparkly white lights through the holes in the black paper and place it in the frame. Once you plug it into the wall, you will have what looks like a port hole to a pretty night sky.

If you use black and white on your bed, use those colors throughout the entire room. If you use red as the accent, add a rich red area rug to your floor like this Red Allure Area Rug .

For a day time look, add thriving green plants and a water fountain. If you add a fountain that has a light, it can double as a night light or just give off a nice aura when you are getting ready for bed. 

How can i make my room fun and colorful?

Add a complementary color to the mix and pull it all together. For lime green and blue, I'd choose hot pink for a splash of color.

If you have a lime green comforter, add some hot pink throw pillows and a hot pink cuddly blanket to the bed. If you want it to be really vibrant, choose pillows that are furry or of a retro-type material.

Add a lava lamp or a cool new shade to your existing lamp.

Get some hot pink sheets and a pillow case that has pink and lime green. You can buy sheets like that are Pottery barn or Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

Add mirrors to your walls. If your wall color is dark, it will brighten the room.

If your current rug is all blue, add a hot pink shag area rug like this Vivid Pink Flokati area rug.
