Sometimes you have a nasty looking room that just HAS to be redone. One of the best, most soothing themes to go with is blue, and as Keisha describes, getting rid of all the old bad themes to start a new one can be a fun adventure. It may seem like a small process that turns into a big one, but in the end, it’s very rewarding!

What do you do with an old bedroom that’s 1970s green and pink? Re-do it! Top to bottom. And Melanie here gives the perfect instructions how! She created the perfect sky blue, healthy and relaxing theme. Read how she did it all herself and for a reasonable amount.
I decorated my own bedroom a while back. The theme was definitely blue. I was inspired by the fact that the bedroom hadn’t been decorated since my family had moved in and I thought it would be nice to give it a new look. It was fun to do, but exhausting. Initially, I wanted to paint my room a new color. It was originally a horrible, greenish color with a pink pattern! Ugh. I chose a sky blue. I had to move furniture around and some of the bigger items had to go out of the room in order for me to be able to do a good and complete job. I did a good chunk of it the first day but finished the next day. I also decided to paint the ceiling with the same color. The original color was white with another horrible, triangle-like pattern. Having a blue-colored room made the space feel very soft and pretty. I also put in new carpeting. It’s beige and plush. It covers the whole floor. I had help installing it and then the furniture was moved back in place. However, I had bought some new pieces and those went in first. I put in a new bed with a wooden frame and a dresser drawer to match. Of course, I had to get new bedding to go with the bed and bought a quilt, quilt cover, blankets and sheets, all blue! Lastly, I decided to add plants to my room, for better health and for additional, natural beauty. I bought two hanging plants and three small plants to put by the window. They definitely added a nice touch to everything. The cost was over $1,000 because of the furniture, which I got at a local furniture store. It took me a bit longer to complete the decoration of my room than I had anticipated, but I was glad to do it.

When it comes to decorating a bedroom, it helps to nail down a specific overall theme. A great starting place is to simply think of your favorite color and your significant other’s favorite color and combine them in a unique way.

Project Runway can even be a great inspiration for a bedroom theme. Sandra was so inspired and created a black and white stripe theme that everyone thinks is great, even though it cost her under $400 to do it!

The bedroom can be the hardest room in the house to get just right, and yet it’s also the most important room to get right. Even if you know what you want, things may be complicated if you’re renting the house but not the owner. Gail was in a similar situation, but she tells how she made her and her husband’s bedroom into her favorite one in the house:
