If you didn’t know, all it actually takes is a gallon of decent paint, spare time, and paintbrush or paint roller so you can make your bedroom walls have a new look.

But you must keep in mind that if you are seeking for greater results, you must take your time to execute the required preparations such as cleaning the walls off dirt and dust, patching holes, taping off certain spots you want to avoid getting painted, and protecting the furniture and floors using a drop cloth.

Paintbrush Needed:

Try stenciling

For the most part, there are stencils in each motif imaginable. You can use stencils to make a mural above the headboard or even try your hand at stenciling a border around the upper edges of your bedroom walls.

Adding stripes

With this tip try using a painter’s tape in order to mask off certain stripes on your white bedroom walls then fill in using a joyful bright tone so you can achieve a whimsical look. However, if you’re looking to get a more sophisticated aura, a neutral shade will do.

Faux techniques

Putting a cool color or texture effect is actually as easy as blotting a sponge in the glaze, then painting it over your bedroom wall. Other simpler faux techniques include watered-down paint with a wide-tooth comb, rags, feathers, and crumpled paper sack.

Try going dramatic on just one wall

If you’re looking to try bright or dark color on your bedroom wall, but is not totally ready for too much drama, you can just go ahead and get one accent wall at the head of your bed.

Painting all 4 walls

Either you’re fond of a trendy shade of gray, the moodiness of blue, the freshness of white, or something bright, a fresh coat of paint will surely give your bedroom wall an instant highlight. 

No Paintbrush Needed

If you are currently renting and can’t paint your walls or if ever painting is not just your thing, then here are some options for you:

Again, decals, decals, decals

You see, wall decals are not just for any kids or nursery’s room nowadays as you can find decals in all sorts of designs from plain funk to motivational, to whimsical and to sophisticated. Scatter a few floral decals around the bedroom walls, craft a mural, place a border, and put a faux decal window looking out on a tropical angle.

Resort to a rug

 If you’re not fond of quilts, you can go with hanging a not-typical area rug instead. A lightweight oriental rug, cowhide, shaggy faux fur, or a zebra-print rug will surely add pizzazz.

Get and hang a quilt

 If you’re fond of casual and country ambiance, then try hanging a quilt on your bedroom wall at the head of your bed that will serve as a headboard. Or just fill up open area on the biggest wall in the bed-room.

Fabric ideas

Whether you believe it or not, you can actually utilize fabric rather than wallpaper to cover your bedroom walls. In addition, the fabric is very easy to get rid of when your lease is up or just tired of it. Pick a lightweight cotton print that you’re fond of, and utilize starch fabric stiffener in order to implement the fabric to the bedroom wall.
