How to Do Over a Bedroom
- 1). Write a list of projects you want to include in your bedroom makeover. Typical projects include new flooring, painting walls, replacing fixtures, buying new furniture and changing the decor.
- 2). Remove all of the furniture so you are able to complete the work easily. Take down wall decor. Rip up the old flooring if you plan to replace it.
- 3). Paint the walls of the bedroom; choose a color that fits the feeling you want in the room. For example, choose soothing greens or blues if you want a relaxing bedroom or vibrant reds or yellows if you want an energizing room.
- 4). Lay new flooring if this is part of your plan. Carpet is often best installed by a professional if you don't have experience, but laminate or wood flooring is a possibility for most homeowners to install.
- 5). Install a new lighting fixture if you plan to replace the old one. Hire an electrician if you aren't experienced in electrical work.
- 6). Sketch a floor plan of the bedroom to decide where to place the furniture, especially if the old layout wasn't functional. Place the furniture in the corresponding locations and test it for functionality. Make adjustments to the furniture placement as necessary to make it easier to walk around the room.
- 7). Install a new closet organizer to make better use of the closet space. Most home improvement stores sell closet organizer kits so you are able to customize the unit to fit your closet.
- 8). Hang new curtains and wall decor to match the decorating style and theme for the room.
