Dress up your bedroom walls with this adorable Pom Pom Garland. Seriously, you can go a little crazy draping this fun garland over pictures, dressers, near the ceiling, or over a headboard. And, the best part is, they’re easy to make and you can customize the colors – think how cute they would look in neutral colors, too! For the easy tutorial, visit Her Happy Home. Make your poms with this tool!

 

Ivy Wall with Sparkle Lights

A trip to the dollar store to pick up a few strands of artificial Ivy and some sparkle lights and you’ll be able to recreate this amazing garden wall in an afternoon (or buy it premade on Amazon). Put this in your bedroom and you might just be the envy of all your friends!

DIY Floral Monogram Letters

Give your bedroom that “fresh-picked from the garden” look with a Floral Monogram Letter that sends off plenty of sunny vibes. It’s pretty darn simple to make (only two supplies needed) and the finished product looks great! For the tutorial, visit Homey Oh My.

 

DIY Picture Frame

These pictures frames are so darn cute! Make a couple for your bedroom and a few extra for your BFF’s (think birthday or grad gifts)! All you need is a small piece of wood, white paint, twine, and a simple pearl (along with a hot glue gun) and you’ll have a creative picture frame you’ll never find in the store.

Boho Macrame Feathers

Beautiful, wispy macrame feathers are popping up all over the Internet and it’s easy to see why… they’re adorable! And, as professional as they look, they’re actually easy to make. In addition to 5mm single cotton twist string, you only need a few supplies! For the tutorial, visit Honestly WTF.

For the full tutorial, visit Emmmy LIzzzy.

 

DIY Picture Frames Using Washi Tape

If you’re looking for a cheap, easy, and surprisingly chic alternative to traditional frames (anyway, we all know frames can get expensive), consider using washi tape. With so many washi tape colors and designs to choose from, you can go totally crazy framing all your favorite photos, postcards, fashion magazine clippings, or anything else! For ideas, visit Design Sponge.

We’re actually drooling over this adorable chandelier! It’s so boho chic and will add a ton of flair to any bedroom. For the full tutorial, visit Blue Agate Abode.

 

Double Shelving with Mirror

When space is tight, you need all the shelving you can get to keep everything in your room organized. These vertical shelves (with a handy lighted mirror in the center) are great for keeping all your perfume, makeup, lotions, and jewelry right within arm’s reach. Getting ready just got easier!

Macrame Bottle Vase

An easy way to make your bedroom look like a summer garden (with a cool boho vibe) is to hang a Macrame Bottle Vase (or two) by your window. It’s not hard to make and it’s super inexpensive. For the easy tutorial, visit Crafting Fingers.

 

DIY IKEA Makeup Vanity

This could be one of our favorite hacks for teen bedrooms. This IKEA Makeup Vanity is perfect for keeping all your makeup, hair accessories, lotions, perfumes, and anything else you need within easy reach. Plus, the cool part is you can roll it between your bedroom and bathroom, as needed. For the tutorial, visit Polka Dot Chair.

 

Giant Pom Throw Blanket

If you haven’t heard, poms are in! And, this Giant Pom Throw Blanket takes the pom rage to a whole new level. The fun part is, you can add these giant poms (which are so easy to make) to an existing throw to keep the cost down or purchase an inexpensive throw blanket on Amazon. Check out this giant pom maker from Amazon! For the tutorial, visit Vintage Revivals.

 

Starry Night Bedroom

Teen room decor ideas for girls don’t have to cost a fortune and this idea is living proof! It’s amazing what a couple of loops adhered to the ceiling, sheer drapes, and string lights can do to set the mood of a bedroom. Easy enough to recreate and looks amazing!

Image: Pinterest

Feather Lampshade

This slightly retro (with a quirky twist) lampshade is a breeze to make and it’s ridiculously fun! Match the feathers to your room color or go for a striking contrast for a look that’s all your own. For the tutorial, visit Pillar Box Blue.

Need a place to store all your perfume and lotions? This pretty Rustic Wooden Mirror with Shelf might be the answer. It’s pretty and adds a little extra space to avoid clutter.

If you’re the handy type and you don’t mind (a slight) challenge, then this DIY Hammock Chair is for you! Hang this in the corner of your bedroom for a cozy spot to curl up and read, listen to music, or talk on the phone with friends.  For the full tutorial, visit HGTV.com.

 

DIY Magnetic Makeup Board

We all know that creative (and original) DIY ideas are hard to come by, but this is one genius idea that’s worth sharing! With this easy DIY Magnetic Makeup Board, you’ll always have your blush, eyeshadow, lip gloss, and makeup brushes right at your fingertips. Any picture frame will do (even an old ugly one) because you can customize and paint it just the way you like. For the easy DIY tutorial, visit Laura Thoughts 8.

 

DIY Floral Mirror

This beautiful mirror is ridiculously easy to make! Simply purchase your favorite artificial flowers (at your local craft store, online or at the dollar store), use a wire cutter to cut the stems and hot glue the flowers to your favorite mirror. You can glue flowers all the way around the mirror or, for a different look, simply glue them to the corners.

DIY Fluffy Pom Pom Rug

This soft, scrumptiously squishy Pom Pom Rug takes very few skills to make and it’s so darn cute. Don’t be surprised if your friends want you to make one for them, too! For the easy tutorial, visit Make & Do Crew.

 

Chalkboard Homework Station

The truth is, we’re a little in love with this fun idea! Inexpensive chalkboard paint can transform a nook in your bedroom into a cool and functional homework station that will make doing homework so much easier. 

Image: Pinterest

DIY IKEA Window Bench

This DIY easy window bench is actually made using an IKEA shelving unit turned horizontally – how genius is that? It’s the perfect addition to any teen girl’s bedroom (it would be great by a window, along a wall or even at the base of a bed) and it adds plenty of extra storage, which we all know teen girls need! Visit Mommy Vignettes for the full tutorial. 

 

Pallets & Lights

Who knew you could do so much with a couple of inexpensive pallets and string lights? This bedroom is beyond hip and it’s cheap to recreate.

Image: Pinterest

DIY Macrame Chandelier

In case you’re wondering, macrame really does make the perfect casual-cool chandelier. While this DIYer might require a little work to learn how to make the knots, chances are, once you get the hang of it, you’ll have this project completed in no time.  For the tutorial, visit Domino.

 

Organized Desk with Metal Tins

Sometimes the simplest organization solutions are the absolute best! We’re lovin’ this easy idea to keep all your pens, pencils, and desk supplies neat and organized. And, because it’s attached to the wall, it gives you more desk space to work. Simply attach a dowel to the wall, add hooks and hang metal tins – easy!

Image: Prudent Penny Pincher

Pottery Barn Inspired Lamp Shade

This gorgeous lampshade is easy enough for anyone to do and it’s an amazing addition to any bedroom. Artificial flowers can get expensive though, so keep your eye out for specials and clearance items or head to your local dollar store for supplies. For the tutorial, visit Simply Ciani.

 

Pallet Jewelry Organizer

There are so many clever decor items you can make with a simple wood pallet. The fun thing about this pallet jewelry organizer is that you can customize it the way you like. Add more hooks for necklaces and bracelets or add a shelf across the top to show off your favorite framed photos.

Dollar Store Wall Decor

It’s amazing what a trip to the Dollar Store can do for your bedroom. It goes to show that you don’t have to spend a lot to have the bedroom of your dreams!

Dotted Wall

Gold metallic paper and a circle punch are all you need to create this cool dotted wall (be sure to adhere to the wall with removable glue dots so they won’t damage your wall). Choose your color(s) and create a look that’s all your own.

DIY Crate Nightstand

This easy-to-make Crate Nightstand is functional and fun! Take two wood crates, and paint them in any color. Stack them either horizontally or vertically, and fasten them together with screws.

Love the nightstand idea. I’ve had two crates in my garage for years , but haven’t done anything with them and love the beachy vibe of the twine wrapped handles. I could also use a nightstand that will hold my bedside reading and not look messy.
