Bedroom decor help?

hollymccar

I'm pretty much broke. I want to decorate my bedroom and make it a place I actually enjoy being. Here's what I'm working with, and keep in mind I rent so I cannot do anything perm. (painting, shelving, etc)
Floor is blue carpet (dusty darkish blue) and walls are light grey panneling and white. I have one tallish window, A dark wood bed and a closet with two sliding doors-it's brightish wood. Color scheme, theme ideas, pictures, do-it-yourself ideas, links etc would be greatly appreciated and make a "best answer" more likely.

Oh, and a big problem: I have this wall a/c unit and it's brown and awful and big. Any creative ideas to cover it up and yet keep it functional without doing anything permanent would be awesome.


Thanks!!

You can place a remnant piece of carpet in a camel or tan over your existing. Can get one for about $20.00 to fit your room. It will make a huge impact.
The a/c unit can't be covered, so you'll just have to buy a partition to put in front of it. If you can't afford a partition, just buy swing shutters at Lowes and have them screw hinged together in an accordian type way. Two or three panels should do it. I'll guess this way it will cost about $30 (a real partition would be in the hundreds).
Now for the window. You can buy a rod pocket hardware and screw it in, above your window and sew (or even hand stitch) a sheet in a color that matches your bedding to fit over the window.
Also why couldn'r you paint your walss and then paint to original color when you're moving? Try a buttercream shade of cream/yellow. It will warm up your room and make it cheery without looking yellow.
Can get a "bed in a bag" at most local stores (Bed bath and beyond or walmart or target.... see about a good sale on neutral colors).
That's it. Enjoy...

Love the bedding!
When searching for decorations, browse stores like PB Teen, Pottery Barn, Target, Walmart, JC Penney, and Bed Bath & Beyond. Make sure you get a variety of white and black decorations to match your comforter.

Here is a homemade idea that I came up with:

Collage-
Find tons of pictures of your family and friends. Cut them out into various shapes. Paste or glue them to a poster board or pin all of them to a bulletin board. If you choose to to the poster board and if it is within your budget, you can frame them to keep forever. Make various collages and hang them around your room. Make sure the poster board or bulletin board is completely covered with pictures. The collages doesn't just have to be of family and friends, you can also look in magazines or print some pictures off of your computer.

Good luck hope, and hope I helped! I'm sure it will come out amazing.
