These are my ideas for my "new" room...

Feel free to offer advice, input, or to take some of the ideas I'm sketching out my new room layout and these are the ideas I'm including right now. My room's small-medium size, with a good sized closet. I have two bearded dragons, which means two 55-gallon tanks in my room, but there's still plenty of space for what I want to do!

- Make a curtain to cover my closet out of multicoloured and wooden beads; the curtain will only come half-way down
- Get a blacklight bulb and some blacklight posters to decorate the walls of my closet with
- Fill the whole base of my closet with pillows (a pillow pit!) and possibly a bean bag chair if I can find one

- Take out my bedframe; try and build a wooden frame with wheels (my room is in the basement and susceptible to flooding unfortunately, but I want my bed close to the floor)
- Find a plain white cotton bedsheet set and tie-dye it purple/yellow/red (I've enlisted my dad's help for this )
- Lots of throw blankets, especially crochet (my mom used to crochet a lot in the 70's so hopefully they're still around somewhere!)

- Find a vintage-looking lamp stand for the corner of my room
- A fancy incense burner
- Rugs to cover the floor (right now it's tile)
- Lots of funky candles

- Posters posters everywhere!! Beatles, Jimi, Mick Jagger, Pink Floyd, the Doors, Led, anything and everything I can find
- Plaid curtains instead of my awkward looking blinds

- Start a vinyl record collection
- On the wall beside my bed/below my window, I want to tack all of the record covers to the wall; hopefully eventually I'll cover the whole thing!
- Wooden shelves for my books, vinyls, CDs, etc.

I think that's it for now it's a lot of stuff, and most of it is DIY. I hope to have it all done by Christmas. Let me know what you guys think, or if you have anything to add!

Why don't you dig a sump before you start if flooding is an issue. I'd also watch the any damp doesn't nuke your pillow pit.

When I'm not being pathologically practically minded I think it sounds really cool, I just wish I had the space to make my room a bit more personal.

 

Sounds like your going to make a wonderful place for yourself. Have fun. I would love to see pics after you have finished.
Blessings

 

I cant tell you how much that sounds like my room.

If your gonna be doin blacklight stuff in there you should see if they got like glow in the dark tie dye and do a lil funky design on your curtains with that.

I would totally be doing a mural in there...like of mars or some crazy ass stuff like moons and solar systems....

umm.. what else...idk bout you but i like to hang fabric on my walls...cuz you can change it whenever you want and its like being in a different room...

Damn i should really take a picture of my room.

 

for my records, i have bricks holding up a plank of wood. all my recods fits underneath and i have candles and incense on top. its pretty groovy and holds enough of the records and you can make it so it fits to your room.

 

you could even make like a huge ass slipcover type deal to store the actual records themselves in...and just hang that on the wall...you can do like a cube.. 9 records alltogether.. i love circles...

 

sry..forgot to mention that would be made out of clear plastic...obviously clear...

 

awesomeee that's exactly what how i want my new room to look when i move soon!

 

I love your ideas!!!!



Great work. Wish I could do something like this

 

i used sea shells on the bottom and some throughout the hemp chord and wood beaded curtains i made. i liked bringing another natural element into the mix.

 

You could stick a bunch of thumb tacks in the wall and hang your records from them

 

it sounds great! i want to do similar things like that to mine
be sure to show a picture of the finished result!

goodluck!
