i spend a lott of time in my bedroom on a given day. even on the weekends, i stay up on my laptop talking to my friends, reading, or listening to music.
my room isn't particularly large, so i try to keep things reallyy simple and keep my tabletops clean and uncluttered. i'm pretty organized.
i want to make my bedroom more fun, literally. it's not that i lack things to do; i just want to make it more welcoming and bright.
however, here's where i'm having some issues, i don't want to repaint it and / or buy any new furniture. i'm not a big fan of wall posters because they seem to clutter my room and make it seem even smaller. i tried making polka dots and that looked cute for a while but i got bored of it.
how can i add color to my room without buying anything new, like bedsheets & lamps?
i know one tip i learned was to add a lot of lighting to your room to make it more fun in the nighttime. i already have three minilamps in my room, and my room is very well lit. what else can i do?
2. i dont know if your too old for this, but you could put big stuffed animals all over the place.
3. you could put up framed pictures of your friends.
4. you could make a paper zig-zag that would go all around the room, going from top to bottom and back again. and tape pictures/memories on the zig zag.

If you are a nature person, then put vases of fake flower around (like on your table), make funky color variations and they can be as little as a dollar in some stores.
I do alot of artwork and if you are like that, hang up your art work.
Maybe have a small picture collage on an area. it doesn't have to be huge but it can definetly make it more welcoming
also, if you add a colorful bedsheet, it will look very cool.
one thing i found helpful was to go to a craft store or the craft section of a normal store. You can get alot of ideas that way and ask the store clerks to help out.

They took a bunch of blank CDs and taped them on the wall from floor to ceiling, in a long curvy "S" shape about 3 feet wide. It was right behind a little table where the "girl" had her CD player and music stuff, so it sorta had the feeling of "music" flowing up from the CD player. It was really cute and fun, and the CDs reflected the light, almost like a mirror would. It looked so cool! [ Jeanne's advice column | Ask Jeanne A Question ]
