diy bedroom furniture - DIY Bedroom Décor and Furniture Ideas Anyone Can Try
The bedroom is one area of the house where you have to be creative and find design and décor solutions that apply to your own style and preferences. The bedroom needs to be that particular space where you feel most comfortable, most at home. In a lot of cases, that means taking matters into your own hands. We’re talking, of course, about DIY projects. Here are a bunch of ideas you should look at.

 Bed ideas
Bed Ideas
Building a bed from scratch is not that complicated. After all, it’s just a big box or platform for your mattress and you could build one using recycled pallets. Basically you just clean, sand and stain the pallets (not all steps are mandatory) and then you stack them and align them to create a platform big enough for your mattress. You can even add some accent lighting if you want.

There’s also the option to build a metal bed frame that fits perfectly around your mattress. For that you can use pipes. Remember to measure twice and cut once because there’s no room for such mistakes when you’re building a key piece of furniture for your home. You can use wood planks for the platform. You can check out the tutorial provided by Instructables for more details on the materials you need and the steps you need to take.

 These days the idea of having the mattress lie directly on the floor seems to be quite popular. There’s a certain casualness that makes the idea appealing. But still, it’s not exactly practical to do that and it would be much better if the mattress were to have a box or a cover to contain it. You can build that yourself using wood. Themerrythought offers a simple tutorial on this. Check it out for more details.

Four poster beds have always been attractive and having one is often a dream that, for some reason, delays becoming real. So why not try to make the bed yourself. After all, it shouldn’t be that difficult if all you want is a simple design. But since even a simple design can be challenging, check out the detailed instructions provided on Decorsanity before you start.

Another very charming category is that of canopy beds. They are definitely very beautiful but what if you already have a bed? Well, then you can add a canopy, of course. This can a pretty simple DIY project. Useful instructions can be found on Onekingslane. Feel free to adapt them as you wish.

And since we’re now distancing ourselves a little bit from regular beds and analyzing other types of designs, let’s also take a look at the hanging daybed featured on Ana-white. It’s basically a simple platform suspended from the ceiling on which a mattress is placed. The only tricky part is suspending it from the ceiling and making sure it’s safe and secure.

Bunk beds are another interesting concept you can try. You can opt for this type to save floor space which is useful in areas such as the kids’ room. Building bunk beds from scratch, however, is no easy task but it can be done if you follow the instructions and have a clear vision of the final product in mind throughout the process. You can take a look at the project featured in Thehandmadedress for more ideas.

 Headboard designs

 Whether you’ve built the bed yourself or bought it in a store, it doesn’t matter. The headboard what we’ll focus on now. Let’s say your bed doesn’t have a headboard. In that case, the possibilities are numerous but a particularly interesting idea is to use vintage shutters. They can be repurposed and repainted if necessary and they’ll add a really nice charm to the bedroom. {found on samanthaelizabethblog}

 If the bed already has a headboard or if you’d rather use a store-bought one, there are still ways in which you can customize it. For example, on Sugarandcloth you can find out how to give your headboard a makeover using a case of Stikwood. These are basically peel and stick wooden pieces which you can use for a lot of purposes, this one included.
Simple nightstand alternatives

 Although not always a must-have, the nightstand is often an element that completes the room in many ways. It’s also one of the elements you can get creative with from a DIY point of view. For example, Urbanacreage shows how a cabinet door can be repurposed and turned into a nightstand. The project is simple and can be customized in a lot of ways.

 Even simpler than that can be to repurpose a wooden crate and to use it as a nightstand in the bedroom. The main thing is to find a crate that has the right dimensions. If you want, you can add a shelf or two to make it more functional. {found on passionshake}.

The lighting in the bedroom has to be pleasant. So while the usual ceiling lights might work well in areas such as the living room, here you might want to consider other options. A lovely idea can be to use Christmas lights. Hang them by the bed in a chic fashion. {found on facingnorthwithgracia}.

 One table lamp placed on each nightstand, on either side of the bed, is a common approach. This option offers you task lighting when you want to read in bed or for other activities. Of course, you can add string lights above the bed as well.
