Funky Basement Bedroom

This college student was renting this basement bedroom which was very narrow and long (actual size 7.5 ft wide x 13 ft long), with no interesting features. In order to create a feeling of a wider space the ceiling was painted with horizontal multi coloured stripes. A diy headboard and matching bed skirt and grommet panel was made. Storage was at a premium, so plastic storage units for shoes, purses and other items were placed under the bed. In order to spend as little as possible, different coloured picture frames were all spay painted black and hung to create an assorted grouping of photos. Additional wall art consisted of a branch from the backyard. In addition inexpensive wicker baskets were purchased and painted in the same ceiling colours. the computer desk also functioned as a make up table, with the four square mirrors, two used as message boards and the other two for make up and decorative purposes. This room had a fun and functional decor with maximum storage.
