Wall
Painting
Dull wall colour of your four closer wall will
make you feel colorless. If your bedroom have a same wall colour for the past 3
or 4 years, it is time for you to change it. In fact, wall paint trend changes
every year. You may change the wall colour every 2 years to increase enjoyment
and excitement in your bedroom.
Darker wall paint colour can make your room feel
narrow. However, with little texture (like Mormorino
Texture by WallGallery) on the wall, it make the room sophisticated and
trendy at the same time.

Lighter wall colour can make your room looks
spacious and brighten your bedroom. Lighter colours such as pastels, can increase
your calmness and relaxes your mind. Despite the plain wall colours, you are
adviced to have one feature wall with touch of texture or wall paint that you
can do DIY, for example mountains mural painting or water colour spray painting
or using custom mural wallpaper.

Add Little
Storage
A small bedroom sometimes feel crowded with a lot
of things and it always have tight space to store all your belongings. Unorganised
things in the bedroom also can make a big bedroom look cramped.
Buy little storage boxes and hang it above the
bedroom door frame, can add a little more space to store our things. For small
bedroom, buying a sofa bed or bed with storage below the mattress, really can
add more storage for your items. Buying organizer boxes or kits, can help us to
arrange our belongings in an organized way.

Add New
Texture or Pattern
Texture and pattern is one of the element that
designers play to make space more comfortable, trendy and look edgy. Changing
your bedsheet, or curtains, or buy an additional pillows is the way to change a
new look to your bedroom.
Plain bedsheets can be combine with some fluffy
pillow or flower pattern bedsheets can be contrast with plain-no-pattern of
curtains. Too much pattern on soft furnished can make the room look full. Less

Texture like stainless steel vase in gold colour
or in rose gold colour, can add a sophisticated feel into your bored old
bedroom.

Wall Hung
Painting
Paintings and frame works change the outlook of
your bedroom. We always overlook this element in the bedroom. Standard painting
frames in size A4 or A3 can keep changeable pictures. Simply print new pictures,
or our family and friends’ images or our vacation pictures, and change the
image of the existing frame in your bedroom.
To add trendier look, you may buy an abstract
painting or you may DIY yourself and print it into bigger scale on canvas. Wall
painting also can add character into your bedroom. For creative persons, you
may also do a few painting on small A4 or B5 size watercolour paper, and frame.
Using contra colours of frame such as black frame or wooden frame and hang onto
white wall paint, to enhance focus point on the wall.

designing your old room into new look. Either you work on wall paint colour or
you use coloured deco items to enhance your bedroom. New pop-up colour such as
