装饰现实&一些有用的提示,以快速调整卧室!
I’ve been scrolling through a TON of pictures these past few weeks and keep stumbling across a lot of great pictures that I’ve never shown on the blog, so I thought I would take a minute to share a few photos of 卡森’s parents master bedroom.
I helped 卡森’s Mom pull some things together for this room over a year and a half ago. The reason that I wanted to show you these photos, besides the fact that the bedding and accessories are just really cute :)…is because I think this very simple bedroom restyle really touches well on a few points that I want to talk about today.
So often we’re saturated in an internet world of amazing, magazine&Pinterest worthy, epic room remodels. For most of us it’s not always possible to spend thousands of dollars and countless hours just to give our bedroom a little bit of a face lift, or updating when it needs it.
Am I right?
I know I sound a bit hypocritical, because I’m always trying to achieve that“perfect look”for our home, but to be honest, it’s part of my “job”and also the reason why a LOT of you even come around these parts in the first place -
…继续,你可以承认。大声笑。
话虽如此,我经常收到读者发来的电子邮件,内容如下: “I don’t have a huge budget, or the talent to put together an entire room, but I really want to makeover my _________. Do you have any advice for someone like me? I’m not sure where to start!”
I TOTALLY get it. I tend to feel the same way a lot of the time, hence the reason that it takes us SO LONG to finish projects! (缺乏预算和设计 困境/犹豫不决)。 So today I thought I’d share just a few quick tips on how you can create a brand new look in your bedroom, with just a couple of simple, quick changes!
1.床上用品,床上用品,床上用品,床上用品!
新的床上用品将比其他任何东西更快地改变您房间的整体外观。我知道有人说’s倒退,但我总是先选择床上用品,然后再选择油漆颜色。 I will admit, I’当涉及到床上用品时,我是相当花钱的。我不’在这方面捏几分钱。对于我们大多数人来说,风景优美的床是人们进入卧室时首先看到的东西,所以我的建议是,获取您真正想要和想要的东西。 (无论’s $40 or $400) Budget for a bedspread, comforter, or quilt that you will be really happy with and that will last for a LONG time! 唐’t settle for something that you just“sorta” like, (因为它是打折的或便宜的). Your bedroom should be one of your most favorite spaces in your home. A place where you can relax, unwind and that also speaks volumes about your personal style. You can’t put a monetary value on that.
If you’re on a budget, but still want a high-end look with your bedding, try covering the main part of your bed with a less expensive solid colored quilt, and then use a smaller quilt or nice decorative blanket just on the end, to pop the whole look! Sometimes a smaller dose of pattern has a bigger effect -
枕头也是增加戏剧性和色彩的好方法,在某些情况下甚至可以制造!
2. Accent with Color
如果可以的话,这尤其重要’t or don’不想粉刷墙壁。一旦您’我们选择了您的配色方案,然后为您的房间找了几块,可以用来突出空间的视觉趣味。您也可以在这里省钱。重新设置灯头的用途,然后购买新的灯罩,或者缝制…套用新面料的旧椅子,并在您的房间中创建一个可以用作“relaxing zone”.
I’ve noticed that rooms tend to feel more comfortable and inviting when there’s actually specific spaces designated to just… hanging out! 卡森’s Mom told me that she couldn’t believe how much more time she spent in her room after we bought this comfy red gingham chair, because now she actually had somewhere to sit, besides her bed!
Remember when accenting with color, that you don’t have to go super crazy, if you don’t want to. If committing to a red chair and yellow lamp base scares you, then pick neutrals, and accent with more“interchangeable”items, like we did in this corner below. If you take away the yellow and red, you’re left with pretty much white furniture that can go with anything!
3.时刻注意您的需求。
您是否曾经尝试过复制房间设计,并最终想到… “This doesn’甚至没有真正为我工作!” I’有很多人说… “I can’不要相信您的客厅里有一个白色的沙发,家里有3个小孩!”我只需要笑,因为对我来说,这从来都不是问题。我不’t know if it’我的孩子都是女孩,因此比戏剧更有趣… or that I’如果他们甚至想将食物带到厨房之外,就会把对上帝的敬畏带给他们 (ha!)…但是无论出于什么原因,我们的沙发 (除了洗完澡后可能会掉出来的一些肮脏斑点,因为一切’s slip-covered) 真的很干净!我的观点?… 唐’只是装饰房间使其漂亮,请记住您仍然必须住在这里!
卡森’s Mom wanted a spot where her and 卡森’s爸爸可以很快坐下来,早上在鞋柜旁边放鞋,所以我们找到了这把小巧的白色椅子,为他们创造了空间。对您来说,可能需要一个书架,一个电视架,甚至只是一个额外的存储柜。我保证有一个“cute/beautiful”解决方案几乎可以满足任何类型的需求,如果您只花时间四处寻找想法,获得创意并跳出框框思考!
我喜欢这两个卧室的存储想法,并且会在我自己的空间中完全利用它们。
可爱的长凳上存储的文件和其他重要文件
或此目的 TV 控制台,用于存储多余的少女配件!
For 卡森’s parents bedroom, we didn’t pull up carpet, repaint or even spend lots of money on new bedroom furniture. We just worked with what we had, and really pulled most of this room together in about a day.
你不’不必成为装饰工或有大量金钱可以让您的卧室快速上门,您只需要确定一个使您感到满意的风格主题和颜色,并为您的床铺上新鲜的床上用品和点缀即可进行彻底的改头换面还有一些对您有意义的美丽作品!可以将所有完美的小配件和图片挂在墙上。设计您真正喜欢的空间需要时间和耐心。但是你’ve GOT从某个地方开始。
您可以执行此操作,现在不再考虑它,然后开始!

UPDATE:
So I have good news, bad news, but then REALLY good news!
Good news: I finally found an online store that sells the Dottie Quilt Collection from my last post on easy bedroom restyling.
Bad news: 我可以’找不到黄色! r但是如果你去 this link here 有粉红色,蓝色和绿色… also VERY pretty 🙂
REALLY good News: The Dottie quilts that they DO carry are RIDICULOUSLY inexpensive. I may or may not have paid like twice the price for mine. ugh. lol.
UPDATE UPDATE: (yup, 我可以 do that) hee hee
您可以找到黄油(yellow) Dottie quilt here at this link, 但它’价格大约是其他商店的两倍。

I love it! Thank you for sharing this advice. I have a lot that I want to do to our home but the budget doesn't match:-/ This a good reminder to keep things functional and beautiful.
Tamara Jansen says
我喜欢带有红色点缀和少量黄色的白色。天才!

喜欢这个帖子!!!感谢您抽出宝贵的时间来编写它。一世'我正在从上到下装修房屋,实际上辞掉了我的日常工作(我知道我'我很幸运)专注于房子。一世'm还追求从财务计划到室内装饰的职业转变。虽然我喜欢看Pinterest和美丽的博客(包括您的博客),但有时它变得势不可挡。我非常想创造像我这样的美丽空间'曾经见过,但是要花费很多工作"just right"而且会花费很多钱。您提醒我,这实际上应该是关于什么对我和我的家人有效,以及最终使房子像家一样。再次感谢!

在哪里可以找到这样的文件存储台?真是个好主意!

Love this room. Can you tell me where you bought the chair? I've been looking for one exactly like that for my living room. -
Valerie says
Great advice! Yep, It's true that I do frequent your blog because you do a great (and yes, magazine worthy) job of decorating your home. BUT a simple"I can do that AND 我可以 likely afford to do that makeover"is truly even more appealing and inspiring…because well, it's doable and doesn't it depress me with the"I'll never have that wha wha whiny blues." 🙂

we finally own a home but for years rented and all i could really do was have a cute comforter and it makes a difference. i have found great ones at home goods, marshalls, ross, tjmaxx that are name brand and very cute but i agree you gotta love it!

Love this reality check of not spending so much money and not crazy over the top, totally livable! And I have to say I was SHOCKED to see a picture frame from us from that far back, you really have known us since the beginning:)
Susan says
OK, you got me. We bought a new Wesley Allen bed 2 years ago and except for night stands, lamps, and an oversized Howard Miller clock, I've added nothing else. I need some art AND a place to sit. I love that very chair! (the red gingham one) Could you provide me with a link?
Thank you!!

If I could change up any room in our home, I would fix up our bedroom. Thank you for the inspiration!

这是一个令人感动的好帖子。我21岁的女儿明天要来两个星期&我想为她整理客卧。我像你一样买了新的床上用品(复古风格)'我刚刚建议。自从我们从英国搬到这里以来,我进入了车库,那里仍然有物品在等待回家。我在影棚里有一些可爱的仙女破旧别致的设计,只是在等待一个充满爱的家,所以他们走进了客房。突然间,它看起来更加受欢迎。现在我'm wishing I'd很久以前就想到了。感谢您的灵感,萨利xx

What great tips/advice. I like to work with what I have if 我可以. Basically because it saves money and also, I'无论我买什么,我可能都会想在几年后对其进行更改。我以不花很多钱把客房变成一个托儿所/客房,最好的部分是所有比赛/坐标。我只是用自己的东西工作,很幸运地找到了匹配的被褥。您可以在以下位置签出:

What a great post! I am SOO not a decorator. I love all the ideas I see on blogs like yours and on Pinterest, but to tie it all together to make a house a home…THAT is where I struggle. Thank you for your tips and advice!
Miss Meg says
This is a great post. 我可以't wait to do my bedroom, I'm afraid it will be last on the list of renovations. But I did start chipping away at bedding to eventually have the collection I want.

I love the bench seat storage! I have a 2 drawer file cabinet that I have wanted to move out but wasn't sure what to put my stuff in and love that idea! Did you guys buy or make it?
Danielle says
这是一个很棒的帖子!!我妈妈总是说床是卧室的焦点,所以您需要以这种方式呈现'在装饰或规划房间家具时,S始终是我的最佳建议,因此我完全同意床上用品是如此重要!在我终于找到适合自己空间的完美床单之前,我在床上躺着一个无聊的旧床罩,大约一年了,我非常高兴我坚持住了,而不是花钱买了我不喜欢的东西!感谢您宝贵的提示!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the inspiration! These pictures are fabulous! Yellow and red are actually my favorite color combo. I'm liking that the walls are neutral to show off the color of the reds and yellows.
很棒的照片。感谢您抽出宝贵时间来撰写博客!

Home a la mode says
For everyone who has commented on the bedding–Home a la mode carries all the dottie quilts shown here…and even better, they are currently on sale for 25% off. Check out our website at homealamode.com. The manufacturer has discontinued their bedding line so the stock is disappearing fast. Get yours while it is still available.
Thanks,
