Choosing Bedroom Mirrors

By Kimberly Wolfe

Bedroom mirrors are more than just reflecting surfaces that you use to check how your hair’s done before you go out of your room. While they are a big help when you dress up, they can also do wonders for your interior design. So how do you know which type of mirror do you need in your room? Here are some ideas about the different types and functions of mirrors you’ll see in furniture shops.

Among the most common mirrors that you’ll find in bedrooms is a simple one that’s hung on the wall. It can be as simple as a rectangular wood-framed type or as intricate as one with carvings and gold paint. Usually, you pick mirror designs while considering only your room design. For instance, you match Victorian bed and furniture with bedroom mirrors that are quite ornate.

But you can also choose mirrors to fulfill an extra function – that is, to widen your space through illusion. Frameless mirrors give you a minimalist look and also help open up your bedroom space. If you prefer a framed mirror, you can choose an oversized one, so it can still give you the light-reflecting properties that you need to create an illusion of having a big space.

Almost any woman would want a well-lighted makeup mirror that truly serves its purpose. There are dresser sets that come with a big mirror, usually oval or rectangular in shape. Those who are fortunate to have a separate dressing room usually have a mirror with surrounding multiple lights installed.

Freestanding bedroom mirrors were a must in the olden days. The ladies needed these full-length vanity pieces to make sure their corsets were tied well and that they looked good in their long skirts. The traditional oval wooden type would give your room an instant vintage element. You can place a wooden chest or a divan beside it for a complete sentimental appeal. But you don’t need to have a lot of space to have your own full-length mirror. These days, they come in different designs and with versatile attachments to fit any room. You can buy one that you can mount on your wall or at the back of your door to save you some room space.

Now that you have some ideas about the mirrors that you can choose from for your bedroom, you’re now ready to shop. But before you head out the door and into the mall, you might want to check out the Internet for furniture shops that offer cheap bedroom mirrors. Some of the online shops usually give generous discounts and special offers, which may even include free delivery.

Cheap bedroom mirrors made of quality materials and impressive designs are available at Buyster. Visit the Buyster website for free standing bedroom mirrors and other designs.

Teen Bedroom Decor

By Jamie Rona

The teenage years are a unique time of life. Teenagers aren’t quite adults but they aren’t little kids anymore either. They have a need to explore and express themselves. By decorating their own bedroom they can show their style without doing anything extreme. Plus, teen bedroom decor doesn’t have to cost a fortune. There are so many things you can do to update your teen’s room that don’t cost a lot of money.

Teen bedroom decor is something that teenagers and parents can both have fun with. It can be a great bonding experience that will bring parents and teens closer together as they work to create a great living space. However, parents need to let the teen have the majority of control over the project. Sure, you can rein them in if things get too drastic, but decorating a bedroom is a great way for a teen to show their style. In a few years you can change the paint and bedding, but your teen will remember their great room forever!

So, where do you start? There are several things you can do that will update a room without breaking the bank. One of the least expensive things you can do is paint. A fresh coat of paint can really go a long way when you are updating. Paint fades over the years, plus your teen might want to try a vibrant color on one wall. After painting, add a few vinyl decals to the wall. They are a great way to create visual interest in a non-permanent way.

Does your child still have a comforter that was their favorite in the fourth grade? It is time to update the bedding as well. You can find fun and funky teen bedding sets that are perfect for a teen bedroom. There are so many different bedding sets to choose from. From bright and wild to smart and sophisticated, just about every style and pattern in covered when it comes to bedding for teens!

When you are looking at new bedding, keep in mind that there are many different types of bedding sets that you will find. Generally, a comforter set will have a comforter and a sham or two. You may get a bed skirt or a window valance, but usually it is just the comforter and shams. You will need to buy sheets separately if you choose to go with this type of set. However, buying sheets and comforter separately lets your teen express themselves even more. Instead of everything coordinating perfectly like it would if purchased as a set, you can get contrasting sheets and other accessories and create a look that is totally your teen!

After paint and new bedding, fun accessories can really make a room. Fortunately there seems to be a lot of great accessories on the market that are inexpensive, yet they are perfect for a teen bedroom. You can get bright, colored desk lamps and trash cans, not to mention fuzzy rugs and fun throw pillows. There is an abundance of bedroom accessories on sale in the fall as college students are starting to furnish their dorm rooms. This stuff would be great for your teen’s room as well.

You are only a teen once and teens would love to create a bedroom that is totally their own. Let your teen express their style and decorate their bedroom their way.

What Can You Do to Help Your Teen Decorate His Or Her Bedroom?

By Christopher W Smith

Any time your teen decides it’s time to do a bedroom makeover, you’ll want to use the experience to teach her decorating and budgeting skills. The time will come, because all children eventually become interested in having a more grown-up space instead of the little kid space they’ve grown up in. Allowing your teen to help with the entire procedure will give her a chance to both express herself, and also to learn responsibility.

When you first sit down to discuss the room with your teen, you’re going to find that she wants more of everything. For instance she’ll want extra seating and sleeping space available for friends. Don’t panic, though. Providing her with what she wants doesn’t have to be expensive. By using a bit of ingenuity you can help her create a fantastic teen bedroom without breaking the bank.

1. The first thing you and your teen need to do is come up with some ideas. You may want to have her invite some of her friends to this session. Listen to what they have to say, and don’t just automatically say “no” to their ideas. This is a great time for you to share your thoughts, ideas, desires, and even concerns while both bonding and coming up with a great ideas for her new room that you’ll both love.

2. Determine the things your teen would like to have in her new room. Then try to set up different areas in the room for different functions. Maybe she’d like a vanity where she could do her hair and make-up. How about a study area, an exercise area, or a place to hang out with friends? Make the room as cozy as you can and as multi-functional as possible in the amount of space available.

3. Your teen’s ideas for her new room will undoubtedly include a brand new set of bedroom furniture. You need to explain the money situation with her and help her understand that the responsibility of paying for a lot of the things she wants will be up to her. Talk about alternate, less costly ways to update her room, and make sure she participates in everything being done.

4. You might suggest ways that she can redecorate her room while still using the same furniture. Here are a few ideas you may want to give her:

* Suggest painting her furniture either a light color of using creative painting techniques such as sponge-painting or using stencils.

* Take the old storage pieces that were once used for her toys and books and stack them in a more adult way. Then paint the whole new piece one color and add decorative hardware or accent lighting.

* You can update her bed by just buying a more grown-up style of headboard.

* Find new furniture pieces to add to the teen decor by looking through items you are no longer using in the rest of the house, or take a rummage through Grandma’s attic.

* Rearrange the furniture. Sometimes that’s all it takes to give the room a more teen look plus a little paint, new accessories, or funky lighting.

* Go to garage sales, secondhand shops, and flea markets looking for real finds that will look cool but cost very little.

5. Emphasize organization and storage in your teen’s room. When deciding on the things to include in the room include shelves, a bed with storage underneath, ways to maximize the space in her closet, and rolling storage bins that can go under her bed. Get everything organized before starting to decorate.

6. Most teens will have strange (to you) ideas for painting their rooms. Is what he wants something you can tolerate in your house? After all, colors can affect moods, and teens already have plenty of those. Go with his preferences if you possibly can, because you can always paint over them later. You might also suggest only using his color on one wall.

7. The best possible accessories for your teen’s room are things she herself has made. Include items like collages, bulletin boards, and hand-painted items. She will like having these items in evidence to show off her talents and abilities. Also prominently display things like trophies she has won, sports medals, or anything else that shows her accomplishments.

8. For a teen who loves posters, you’ll want to provide bulletin boards, cork strips, or other things that he can hang his posters from without putting tape on newly-painted walls. Another suggestion might be hanging a clothesline or other cord across one end of the room and giving him some clothespins to hang his posters with.

When all is said and done, you’ll find that all of your plans and negotiations have paid off well. And always remember when your mind tells you to censor his ideas, that his ideas are an important part of the person he is becoming. He needs opportunities to express his own tastes just like he needs a great room of his own to do his dreaming in.
