3. DIY Headboard
Upgrade your bed with a unique DIY headboard. Whether it’s made of reclaimed wood, peel & stick wall panels, fabric, or even fairy lights, a headboard adds a focal point to your room. For a budget-friendly option, use foam board, batting, and fabric to create a soft upholstered headboard.

5. Floating Shelves for Display
Maximize space and keep your room clutter-free with floating shelves. They are perfect for displaying books, plants, small decor items, or personal mementos. You can make your own using wood planks and simple brackets for a modern touch. (click on link below pic) Or you can purchase some pre-built floating shelves and install them. (this one on Amazon is my favorite!)

6. Handmade Pillow Covers
Give your bedding a quick refresh with DIY pillow covers. Sew your own using fabric in colors and patterns that match your aesthetic, or use fabric paint and stencils to create custom designs. This small update can make a big difference in your room’s overall look. Pillow shams are a simple way to add a new color or pattern to your room. Make your own by following this tutorial from A Fresh Squeezed Life.
7. Upcycled Mason Jar Organizers
Repurpose mason jars into stylish organizers for makeup brushes, stationery, or even fairy lights. Paint them in pastel shades, wrap them with twine, or decorate with lace for a vintage touch. These jars keep things organized while doubling as cute decor. You can also use empty (and clean) tin cans! I put together a simple tutorial on how to make a utensil caddy but this certainly can be used to organize many other things too!

8. DIY Mirror Frame
Transform a plain mirror into a statement piece with a DIY frame. Use wood planks for a rustic farmhouse look, rope for a coastal vibe, or mosaic tiles for an artistic touch. A well-placed mirror can also make your bedroom look more spacious and bright.

9. Hanging Plant Holders
Add a refreshing touch to your bedroom with DIY hanging plant holders. Use macrame techniques or repurpose baskets and glass jars to hold small plants. Not only do plants purify the air, but they also bring a lively and calming energy to the space. Don't be intimidated with macrame - this tutorial from XOXO Jackie for the plant holder is easy and looks great!

10. Custom Artwork or Gallery Wall
Make your bedroom feel truly personal by creating your own artwork or curating a gallery wall. Paint an abstract canvas, frame inspirational quotes, or mix and match different prints and thrifted frames. Arrange them in a way that complements your decor and style. Here is a simple monoprint stamp project from Nurture Store that is so easy even a child can do it! The art looks amazing and can be customized to go with your colors.
