8 DIY Ideas To Liven Up Your Bedroom

Perhaps you’ve just moved into a new home, a new dorm room, back home for the holidays or other and you’re growing bored of the dull walls and outdated decor. You want to redecorate, but on a budget or by yourself. But where do you start? Don’t worry, we have you covered! Here are eight DIY ideas you can use to make your bedroom lively and fun!

1. Vintage Book Planter

The phrase ‘growing books’ never meant as much as it does right now. And nothing screams aesthetic like beautiful, leather-bound vintage books. Even more so when you can start growing your plants from right inside a little book!

In this ever-so-cute DIY from HGTV, you can make some old books really grow. So, make a trip to your local antique market, second-hand bookshop or opportunity shop and find yourself some cute vintage books!

2. Neon Light Sign

To fit with the current vintage theme that’s so popular these days, try out this very ’80s-Esque neon light DIY decor. Why travel out to a cool ’80s-themed bar or restaurant just to take a picture with your favourite quote when you can make one yourself and have it hanging up in your own room?

This DIY from blogger At Home with Ashley is a great project that’s relatively simple and can be put to great use after it’s completion. It’s a great backdrop for all your selfies and portraits you may want to take!

3. The Hanging Notepad

Now this one is a little different, and probably not what you thought of when it comes to note-taking. But we spend so much of our time sitting at our desks writing, studying and working that sometimes we forget to stand up and give our legs a stretch.

This hanging notepad DIY project from Kate Pruitt is a great way to eliminate those endless hours sitting at your desk. With this hanging notepad, you can start writing up notes while standing up when you need it.
