Paint the Walls
If you’re looking to spruce up a dull bedroom, the easiest thing to do by far is to paint the walls. Painting the walls will instantly add color and style to any room. Don’t just look for a color you like, but find one that will add interest to the room. In order to ensure the décor is cohesive, choose a paint color that accents or matches the accessories you plan on having in the room.

Add an Interesting or Colorful Bed Set
Chances are, your bed is the largest item in your bedroom. If that’s so, it probably serves as a focal point for the décor. Therefore, by adding color to the wooden bed, you can instantly add interest to the room. Try to find a patterned or colorful bed set that’s both interesting and coordinates with the other items in the room. Along with the new comforter or bedspread, toss a few decorative pillows onto the bed. If you’d prefer to stay away from a patterned bed set, then get a set that’s a single color and add accent pillows in a contrasting color to add interest to the area.

Hang Photographs on the Walls
If part of what is keeping your bedroom dull is empty walls, then you need to hang up some items to add some style and pizzazz to the décor. A simple and easy way to fill in this space is by framing and hanging photographs of you and your family. You might also consider hanging photographs of nature scenes such as ocean shots or pictures of flowers. Or if you like, go with some old black-and-white photographs.

If photos just aren’t your thing, then see if you can’t find a piece of artwork that catches your eye. You might even make the artwork yourself, if you’re feeling creative. You might even consider basing your entire bedroom décor off that art piece, an approach that can be very inspiring when it comes to design.

Add a New Piece of Furniture
If you have an empty space in your bedroom, why not add a new piece of furniture to add more interest to the décor. You might also think about replacing any old or out-of-style furniture to make the room more stylish as well. For instance, you might invest in a wood dresser, chest or bench for the end of the bed, a new dresser, or if you can afford it, even a new bed.

You want your bedroom to be a place where you can relax and enjoy hanging out. Having a dull and boring bedroom is no fun at all, but if you follow some of these simple suggestions, you can quickly create a stylish and interesting retreat where you will love spending time.

Determine the Color and Style
Unless youve already found the perfect bedroom set randomly and youve decided to decorate your bedroom around that, then youll want to determine what color and style of bedding sets you are looking for before you go to shop. This will depend on the style and colors that will be in your bedroom. For example, no matter how much you love that zebra-print bedding set, it wont go with the dcor if youve already planned a beach-themed bedroom.

Others prefer to find the bedding set first and then base their style and colors for the bedroom off that. Even then, you still want to have some sort of an idea what you want to do in the bedroom. This way you are not aimlessly shopping.

Set a Budget
Having a wide variety of bedding sets to choose from means that youll be faced with a wide variety of price points as well. Inexpensive bedding sets might run for as little as 50 dollars, whereas luxury bedding set prices can cost as much as 2,000 dollars. Thus, its important to decide how much of your decorating budget you want to spend on your bedding set.

If you are planning on redecorating the entire bedroom, you need to make sure that you have money set aside for other items in the room as well. Also, not all bedding sets include all the same pieces. So you might also end up having to buy extra sheets and pillows for the set as well.

Know the Size of the Bed
Know the size of your bed before you even start looking at bedding. Its not a bad idea to take measurements of the mattress as well. If you dont know the size of your bed, you might end up going back to the store and returning items. Remember, when you measure the mattress, be sure to measure the length, width, and depth, particularly if you have a pillow-top mattress.

Research Bedding Materials
Bedding sets can be made of one of several different materials. The price is usually determined by the type of material thats used, so youll need to choose something thats in your budget. You need to also consider the thread count when youre looking at sheets. Luxurious sheets tend to have a higher thread count and also be more expensive.

The most popular bedding material is cotton, but there are several different types of cotton you can choose from. Egyptian cotton, for instance, is very expensive but also very luxurious. For bedding, the most common material is standard cotton, which is also the least expensive. Other materials you might choose from include silk, flannel, and chenille.

A bedding set can easily add to the dcor of a bedroom, or it can take away from it. You can avoid ending up with bedding thats a mistake by planning accordingly before purchasing the right bedding set for your bedroom.
