Marie Carlson and he 9 year old son redecorated his bed room and they’ve sent us pictures with the final result. Here you can see how they decorated a “Dinosaur” themed bedroom without spending to much money ( budget redecorating ). Now le’ts find out how Marie and her son started and finished this project ..
I gave my 9-year old son, at the time of planning this, a catalog with kids beddings, I chose four that my fit his interest and he picked his favorite, dinosaurs, how unusual!!! He got the sheets, comforter a valance and a dinosaur lamp for his 9th birthday. After looking at his room over the summer and getting ideas of our own and looking through magazines, we started to pick out the colors for his walls. I tried to match some colors with his sheets.

We wanted the area where his bed is, looking “cave like”. We bought two kinds of gray, one as a base and a darker shade as the top paint to give it the “cave” look. We also bought some rubber stencils of animal footprints; we used three kinds that he picked out, that we dipped in the dark gray paint. I bought a piece of fabric for about $10.00 to match the gray, and hung it in front of his “cave”. Above his bed we got wooden cutouts that my son picked out for 25c a piece that he painted with the color of his choice. The room itself is a green color, picked from one of the dinosaurs.

The valance was to narrow, so we put it “inside” the window, and I took it with me to some stores that sell already made panels. I paid $12.00 a panel. We found interesting plants and pots at the grocery store, a $5.00 lantern from IKEA with a battery operated tea candle inside, for his windowsill.

His desk is an old IKEA desk from an office; the chair is his brothers IKEA chair from long ago. The metal dark gray bookshelf with the fish tanks, we bough new from IKEA for about $15.00. The beanbag and pictures he had before. The decorations are some of his dinosaurs and “old” things he wanted to keep in his room. I believe that your very personal favorites, make it very special, and nobody has a duplicate.

The beanbag, with some imagination, looks like a rock. (His room use to be the laundry room, was then made into a baby’s room, we had bought closets at IKEA and built in the bed using a wood planks, and old dresser drawers for storage below. The empty space between the closets and the wall we made shelves out of leftover planks )

We talk a lot here on Freshome about bedrooms, and bookcases. Today Point Architects from Tokyo combined a bed with a bookcase and the result was called the Uroko House. The incredible bookcase completely surrounds this bed, making him looks like an igloo made of books. Here is the step by step project of how the Uroko House was created, and I’ve got these pictures from Flickr. The final results looks good, but unfortunately is not to practical, and takes a lot of space. Anyway I’m sure that little kids will still love this project.

For something such as a bedroom design you’ll want to think long and hard about precisely what it is that you’re going to do, and today we present another inspirational post from our bedroom interior design inspiration series. Bedrooms are the primary place of relaxation, where we all retire to take a good sleep and refresh, away from the world and worries. The bedroom interior design is extremely important in order to provide that instant feel of relaxation and here are a few tips: the first thing that meets the eyes are the colors used on the walls, carpets and bed set so, they all must be soothing in pastel colors in order to provide a relaxing effect.

Keep the bedroom interior design minimal, neat and always clean but also don’t forget to add some change and color with every season in order to keep it exciting and adventurous. Changing your bedroom interior design should only be done to suit an occasion or festivity as constant major changes will actually induce restlessness instead of relaxation until you get used to the sight and sounds and once again be able to relax and enjoy your bedroom interior design.

Private cloud looks like a giant rocking chair, or to be more exact like a rocking bed. Private cloud is not a normal bed, is something that wants to revolutionize every bedroom. The bed requires a little more space than a “normal” bed but I’m pretty sure that this bed can offer new experiences to any couple. The bed will sway when someone will touch it, but therefore this section bed has also provided two back plates, that can maintain the a certain angle of tilt, like in the last picture.
