Although my bedroom is a decent size and more than enough room for all our stuff, it is probably the one room in the house that least feels like home. It has a bed and some other furniture in, some plastic storage and all in all is quite plain.
Steve and I have very different decor tastes so when it comes to rejuvenating a room, it has to be decorated in a way both of us would like – which is why it still hasn’t happened, three years after we moved in!
I’ve been taking a look at the different ideas on different blogs and websites such as Homify, trying to find a style that we both will love that means my bedroom doesn’t still look unloved. I have so many ideas about what I want to do but find them hard to project outwards so having these resources is great for me – it means I can show people what I want without any confusion.

I lean very much to a plain white canvas or a monochrome design. Both are simple and understated but get the desired effect of making my bedroom look a little more interesting. I am planning on moving some books up into my bedroom to fill some of the empty space – its a large room and there is plenty to fill – otherwise it is far too easy to use as a dumping ground.
I’ve seen a few other bloggers veering to the monochrome style and it is easy to see why – it is elegant and looks good, instantly bringing something more to a room. My bed is white as are the walls and wardrobe doors. Adding in some black accessories would really make it look better – and quite a bit different too, Our old bed was black and worked really well with the colour scheme – I’m hoping that by buying a few different items, I can make my bedroom look a little nicer.
I’ve currently got a list as long as my arm of things I want to do to my bedroom and products I want to buy. Hopefully soon it will resemble a nice homely place that I want to spend time in rather than a place where I just lay my head down to sleep.

I love this post! I didn’t know about Homify before but with my new room I need some good ideas before I mess it up with odd decor once the carpet is down. I need a theme and this website looks great for inspiration! 🙂
I hope you and Steve can come to some sort of agreement on what to do with your bedroom! I’m sure it’ll look lovely when it’s done and perfect for both of you! 🙂
